First of all; FUCK YOU HATERS OUT THERE. Like this dude, claiming to be a film critic (or something) and ranting all over the place that the movie was boring. Your blog is boring, y’hear?

Knowing kicks ass. Not because the story is intruiging (it is), not because it is tense and a bit spooky bitewise á la M. Night Shyamalamalamalamalamalamalamalamalamalamalan. It is not because Nicolas Cage is great as a drunken teacher nor ’cause his son (Caleb) is intelligent beyond the regular.

It is purely because of the ending. The ending. It fucking rules! Maybe anticipated, but the effort they’ve put down for the special effects and for the storyline is simply amazing. I loved it.

So anyway. What is the movie about? We start in 1959. Some psychotic chick in a class writes down a series of numbers on a note which is later revealed 50 years later. 50 years later this dude Caleb gets the note. His dad (Cage) gets hold of the note and starts investigating what the numbers mean. It seems like they are predicaments of what will happen in the future. They finally discover the true meaning of the numbers, and a big disaster is imminent. Something like that anyways.

Rose Byrne, playing a chick in the movie which is connected to this mystery, is also kinda hot. That is entered in the books for Knowing as something positive. Good-looking bitches = better movie. Simple rule that every director should follow. Always.

Rose Byrne. She’s hot!

So do yourself a favor and go see Knowing. If you like the movies of M. Night Shyamamalamalama….lamaman you will like this one too. Sucker.

So Michael Bay came around for round number 2 with another blockbuster based on the popular Hasbro toys. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen takes off where the first one ended. Our main character Sam is going to attend college, and his hot piece of ass Mikaela (Megan Fox, what a babe she is!) is doing her best to support him (you know, like girls always do – giving you a really bad conscience just because you are pursuing your dreams. Ladies; you know I am speaking the truth!).

Of course Sam manages to fuck up and wakes some Decepticon dude, and then a new chase is on. Optimus Prime kicks ass again, Starscream is a weakling (but cool!), Megatron is resurrected, and then we are introduced to Devastator (!). That is probably the best shit ever in the movie (except Megan Fox’s ass).

Otherwise, you get the same stuff as in the first one (my review – in Swedish though) – but more. More explosions, more action, more robots, more lame-ass one-liners, and so on. The problem with the camera being to close to the robots so you don’t actually see what’s going on on the screen is still present. Although, since Mr. Bay has managed to cram in a whole 2 hours and 30 minutes of Transformers action, you get some shots where you actually can see what’s going on and which robot is getting its ass kicked.

All in all, a good movie which performs as expected, but please Michael – when you decide to make a sequel to this one, please make it shorter! My ass hurt really bad for sitting so long in the movie theater and eating popcorn.

Ice Age 3 should be your family comedy of choice this summer. I went to the cinema with my girl the other day to see this one. She wanted to see it with swedish language. I didn’t. So we went to see it with english speech. And thank God that we did! A lot of the jokes would’ve been lost in the translation if we didn’t.

So, this time around Manny (the mammoth) is having a baby together wis his she-mammoth. Sid, the sloth, is having difficulties with not having any kids – so he finds three dinosaur eggs that he adopts as his own. Funny thing is he calls himself “mommy” instead of “daddy”. Anyways, of course these three eggs are hatched and then an angry dinosaur mom comes after her kids.

So after a lot of crazy-ass events the dinosaur mom gets hold of her childre (and Sid) and takes them back to Dinosaur-land. Yep, Dinosaur-land. The tropics living underneath the ice… (yeah…).

Then, the rest of the regular bunch from the earlier movies sets on a quest to rescue Sid from the vicious dinosaurs. And then you have your movie. A lot of really funny scenes and dialogues will proceed and you will really enjoy the movie. Scrat, the sabre-toothed squirrel, is presented once again in his chase for his precious acorn. This time he gets some competition from his female counterpart called Scratte.

Another new character to the Ice Age universe is Buck, a maniac weasel living with the dinosaurs. I think he was the best part of the whole movie. He had such hilarious monologues you couldn’t do anything other than laugh and smile.

Ice Age 3 is a really happy-joy-joy movie I think everyone will enjoy, irrespective of age.

It’s getting somewhere but I’m getting there slowly… that is like 3 hours of work or something.
