Ninnie: This is my kind of movie! Sort of! I recognize myself in the main characters Graeme and Clive.

Victoria: I want my own Paul guy! I'm not even kidding, I want him as my friend ! Haha
Ninnie: Totally! Ok this movie is not suitable for everyone. You kind of need to be a nerd in some way.
Victoria: For sure ! I've only heard from others that they liked it, I haven't heard anyone say it's a bad movie, but sure everyone might not like it. The characters in the movie are the best! The two nerd guys, Paul and like everone. Was there anything negative about it?
Ninnie: Hm? I really can't think of anything! There's actually not much more to say about "Paul". It's a good movie and you should watch it if you like nerdy movies.

Pirates of the Caribbean 4, On stranger tides

Title: Pirates of the Carribbean 4, On stranger tides
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Release: May 18th, 2011 (World Premiere)
Actors: Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush, Ian McShane
Plot: Follow Jack Sparrow in his attempt to find the Fountain of Youth.

Discussion:
Victoria: We watched it in 3D in the movies and I must say this movie is NOT worth watching in 3D. There were practically no effects whatsoever. So kind of dissappointed in that area, but since I love all the Pirates movies I like this one as well. A good follow-up, but not AS good as the first 3.
Ninnie: Not as good at all! Don't get me wrong it's still a very good one! I think it would have been better if Kiera Knightley (Elisabeth) and Orlando Bloom (Will) would have been in it. But as long as Depp (Jack Sparrow) is in it I'm ok with it.
Victoria: Yes. I never really like when you remove the main characters in movies (or shows..), so that is actually a big minus. But if I should review the movie itself and leave out the negative comments (on 3D and removing main characters) I think it's an exciting movie and it still has the famous Pirates-of-the-Carribbean-feeling to it, which is a BIG plus.
Ninnie: True! You gotta love the music! Powerful! At least to us pirates fans Haha! Acting wise?
Victoria: You gotta love Depps performances in all the movies, and he doesn't fail in this one either. I must say I'm no fan of Cruz in this movie. I have nothing against her as an actress, but she doesn't fit in this movie and therefor I'm a little annoyed by her acting. Might just be me, but yeah. That's my opinion. What do you say?
Ninnie: Omg, so true! I didn't realize this until you said it, but oh God it's true. I was totally annoyed by her acting while watching but I didn't really think about it, just like subconsciously.


Sum Up: Can't even be compared to the other POTC movies but still really good and exciting! And a must-see if you've seen the other ones (If you haven't you should)!

Victoria: 3,5/5
Ninnie: 3,6/5

Shrek Now and Forever

Title: Shrek - Now and Forever
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Release: December 1, 2010 (DVD Sweden)
Voices: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz
Plot: Shrek misses the time back when people were scared of him and he had a peaceful life. He is tricked into signing a contract that will make him the ogre he used to be for only a day. But he didn't really read the fineprint.

Discussion:
Ninnie: Not the best one of Shrek movies but still a funny one!
Victoria: Definitely. Shrek is always gonna be Shrek, and if you like the other 3 movies you will enjoy this one too.
Ninnie: Yeah! Hm, ok this was a tough one to make a review of. So what's bad about it?
Victoria: Maybe the fact that a fourth movie wasn't really neccessary. On the other hand it's fun to see Shrek and Fionas kids. And what's good about it?
Ninnie: It's an exciting story and of course the characters are funny as usual. Who should watch it?
Victoria: Well if you HAVE seen the other 3 ones I don't think you should miss this one. If you haven't seen the other ones I would suggest you'd catch those ones first.

Sum up: Not the best Shrek movie, but an exciting, entertaining and nice story.

Ninnie: 3,9/5

Discussion:
Ninnie:Wow! This movie was amazing! It was so cool!
Victoria: Dude, yes !! Ask me if I love it and my answer is a three-lettered word.
Ninnie: Do you love it?
Victoria: YES!
Ninnie: I loved all the special effects with all the words popping up and things you know.
Victoria: Oh god, yes  ! And I've said it before but I love Michael Cera, he's just the most awesome actor ever (well to the extent of course). Was there anything bad with it? Or less good?
Ninnie:The only thing I can think of is that this is definitely not a movie that is suitable for everyone. Either you'll love it or you will hate it, sort of. This is not a very bad thing since it just makes it more awesome to the people who really like it. Okay really complicated answer, Ninnie.
Victoria: No, it's true, though. Very easygoing movie. I could watch it over and over again.

Sum up: If you're into games and have a kind of childish mind you will definitely enjoy this one. We think everybody should give Scott Pilgrim a chance and find out what side you are on!

Ninnie: 4,9/5
Victoria: 5/5

Prince of Persia

Title: Prince of Persia (The Sands of Time)
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Remember
Release: September 22 (DVD, Sweden)
Actors: Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina
Plot: The brave prince Daston decides to help a rival princess Tamina and protect a special (magical) dagger. This dagger has the ability to change and turn back time

Discussion:
Victoria: I don't really like"these kinds" of movies. I happen to think they are usually always the same, and that there are boring wars and conflicts going on all the time. But somehow this one manage to be a little different and for some reason I liked it.
Ninnie: I see your point. I usually end up liking these kinds of movies even though I think I won't. And this is not an exception. It was exciting from the start and continued that way 'til the end. It's not the best adventure/fantasy/action movie I've seen but it's definitely a good one,
Victoria: Yes. It was really exciting all way through. As the viewer you think that everything will be solved every 10min and then something else appears and just turns it back around again. It had an interesting story and the action parts were really cool.
Ninnie: Yes, I love his awesome "moves"! They're not really realistic but I was impressed anyway haha. So what's bad about "Prince of Persia"?
Victoria: I don't really have anything bad-bad to say about the movie. I'm not saying it's a perfect movie, but no, I can't really think of anything in particular that was bad about it. If you have anything, go ahead and fill me in.
Ninnie: Hm? No, I think I totally agree on that.



Sum up: A good adventurous movie. Cool action scenes and a pretty exciting story.


Victoria:3,8/5
Ninnie: 3,7/5
