Discussion:
Ninnie: I really enjoyed this movie! Like alot!
Victoria: Yes ! Me too. You'd think it would be like this normal, average romantic comedy movie with two famous actors, but this one, I thought, had that little extra. It's a neat movie.
Ninnie: Totally. I like both Aniston and Bateman as actress/actor and the kid was really cute. Some parts where really funny, some cute and some sad. Really good mix.  
Victoria: For sure. I'm not sure it's a movie for everyone though. I think it's mainly a chick flick, guys might like it, but I think it's mostly for the female crowd...?
Ninnie: Hm? Maybe so. So any bad/less good parts?
Victoria: Not really. I liked it all the way through.
Ninnie: Me too.

Sum up: Surprisingly good movie! Good actors, nice story, a cozy and funny movie. 

 











Ninnie: 4,7/5
Victoria: 4,7/5 (copycat haha)

Genre: Biography, Drama, History
Release: February 23rd, 2011 (DVD, Sweden)
Actors: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake
Plot: How did Facebook start..?
 

Discussion:
Ninnie: Very interesting! If you use facebook on a daily basis you have to see this one. Or well not really have to but I found it very interesting
Victoria: I thought it was really good. They really made it interesting and "dramatic/drama-filled" (not sure how exaggerated it is compared to reality, but still, it's good for the movie). I liked Jesse (the main character, and he who played the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg).
Ninnie: Me too! I like how "quick" all the lines are. I don't think you'll like it unless you use facebook. What do you say?
Victoria: No, I think you need to be on facebook, and like know about it and stuff. I do think most people do, but yeah. It will be much more interesting for a facebook user, for sure. Was there anything you didn't like about it?
Ninnie: Hm? I feel like I should have something to say about that but Hm? Help me.
Victoria: I know, I'm thinking the same. It's not a perfect movie, but I really can't think of anything bad about it.  What does that tell you....? Hehe.
Ninnie: Totally. Maybe the fact that it wasn't very funny nor exciting. Only interesting. Also, some movies you can definitely tell it's based on a real story, and not in a good way. And this is one of them. Do you know whay mean? It's like a very long process that has been squeezed into like 2 hours.
Victoria: Yes, true. I think I would only say that reason if I really HAD to say something negative about it, though. But I definitely get what you mean.
Ninnie: Exactly!

Sum up: Interesting story and a movie we would recommend to someone who would like to know the background to Facebook.

Victoria: 4/5
Ninnie: 3,8/5

Discussion:
Victoria: We've been so excited to watch this one, since we both love watching movies that involves water, and yes all the water parts were awesome ! BUT, big fail was that it was such a quite movie! Barely no comments at all. Someone said something like 5 times. It got pretty boring.
Ninnie: Totally! A dissappointement. I really think I would have enjoyed it more if I'd seen it in 3D at the movies. I mean it's beautiful don't get me wrong but I was really looking forward to learn things about the fishes and the ocean.
Victoria: Definitely! If I would compare this one with the movie Earth I saw like last year or 2 years ago, I liked that one so much better. The filming and all that was the same, they were in the ocean and in nature and so on, but they had people talking about what it showed and comments about it and stuff, which made the movie sooo much more interesting to watch.
Ninnie: I haven't seen Earth but I sure want to now Haha. Yes this is a great 20 minutes long video but after that I'm afraid it stops beeing entertaining.





 Sum up: Definitely a movie with interesting footage and cool clips with beautiful creatures in the ocean, but we dislike the fact that there is barley no one saying anything through out it. 

Ninnie: 2,9/5 
Victoria: 2,7/5 (Feels strange to give this bad, but I guess we are hard this time haha.)
