Discussion:
Ninnie: I really liked this movie. It's funny it's cosy, it's interesting and it's entertaining!
Victoria: I agree ! I mean, it's Mr.Charming himself in the movie, so it can't really fail, can it? Haha.
Ninnie: Haha, true. No "wow-experience" from neither of the actors, acting wise.
Victoria: I like that it is kind of a different story, or I mean it's still a typical Romantic comedy movie but it's made in a different way, I'd say. I'm not sure that made any sense haha, but I hope you understand.
Ninnie: Bad part? Hard to come up with anything. It's not a perfect movie, but there's nothing wrong with it.
Victoria: Who should watch it?
Ninnie: I believe it's a movie for people who's 18 or older. Prabably more interesting for female viewers.


Sum up: A nice, average, cosy, romantic moive. Worth watching!

Genre: Animation, Action, Comedy
Release: April 28, 2011
Voices: Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill

Plot: Megamind is a villain and the badest and the biggest failure of them all.

Discussion:
Ninnie: Not the best animated movie but definetely a good and funny one!

Victoria: Agree. It's entertaining and good at the moment but it's not a movie that will make you go "OMG You HAVE to see it" to someone. 

Ninnie: True! What do you think about the choice of voices? I have to say it was a bit wierd seeing/ hearing Jonah Hill as an evil person Haha. 

Victoria: My thought exactly ! But I kind of got used to all the voices after a while, so it didn't really bug me. In the end the voices were suitable, I thought. 

Ninnie: Me too. So who should watch it, age and so on?

Victoria: I definitely think it's as much a kids movie as a movie for grown ups. Or like. My age. And I'm sure my parents would enjoy it too. So yeah. 

Ninnie: Good and bad part?

Victoria: I'll take the good part- well it's a good movie, and nicely made and all that. And they made it good in the sense that you are on Megaminds side, although he is the bad guy, but you will still feel sorry for him. Kinda.. What do you have to add, or say about any bad parts?

Ninnie: It doesn't really have "bad parts", but it's just not a movie that will give you a "wow-feeling", I guess. 

Sum up: Good, average animated family movie that is worth watching, but won't make you go "OMG It's SO good!" 

Ninnie: 3,8/5

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.

Discussion:

Victoria: I just love it ! I loved the first movie, and I am not disappointed in the second!

Ninnie: The first one is the most awesome comedy ever! And I'm not disappointed either. BUT it's nothing compared to the first one.

Victoria: Well, I wouldn't say it's "nothing". I mean it's kinda hard to do a follow-up, but I think they made it really good. Even though it practically is the exact same story and the same jokes I still think it was hilarious.

Ninnie: Ok, "nothing" is the wrong word. And you're right! I have to say that this one contains more action.

Victoria: So tell me, what makes the first one better? Let's say this one would have been the first The hangover movie. Would you still have preferred the (actual) first one?

Ninnie: Yes I would have. I think they exaggerated a bit too much in the second. Ok, I sound really negative! I do like it, don't get me wrong, I just want to be a bit of a critic.

Victoria: Yeah, I get you and I see your point. So, were there anything you thought was better in this one?

Ninnie: Hm? Well the fact that you know the characters from the begining is awesome and... hm? what do you say?

Victoria: Yeah that's all that comes to mind for me too. Who do you think should watch this movie?

Ninnie: Everyone who loved the first one! Let's face it, Alan is the most awesome person, and who wouldn't wanna see him again! Who shouldn't watch it V?

Victoria: Young kids. Haha. And people with no sense of humor ;) No I don't know. I'm not sure my parents would find it as awesome as I do. 

Ninnie: Haha true!

 

 

Sum up: Awesome Movie! You HAVE TO watch it if you've seen and enjoyed the first one!

Actors: Katherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel
Plot: Holly and Messer are two single people with very different lifestyles. Unfortunately their mutual best friends dies in a car accident, and leaves Holly and Messer to become caregivers to their daughter, together.

Discussion:
Ninnie: I found this movie very entertaining and cute!
Victoria: I adored this movie ! It's so neat ! I mean, I thought Life As We Know It would be just like the average romantic comedy,  but it had that "little extra" a movie needs to have to be slightly better than the rest in this genre.
Ninnie: True. They're both great actors and Josh Duhamel is great for this part, a tough but still soft guy.Heigl is alor great for her part. Do you think this is like similar to any other movie?
Victoria: I can't put a name on a movie it would be similar to, but it feels like it is. I do think it's a little different with the baby story and all that, and it's a pretty obvious movie, but all a long it's very emotional. My sister cried a little ^^ Is it more of a chick flick than a guys movie?
Ninnie: Hm? In a way yes. But I think that a mature guy would like this, the kind of guy who wants a family in some way, some day. But yes I do believe it's more of a movie for women, but to all you guys out there, it is funny and interesting! What do you say,Victoria?
Victoria: Yeah it's a chick flick, but like you say, if guys like those kinds of movies they will like this one too!

Sum up: A cute and entertaining romantic/drama comedy movie that is slightly better than the average chick flick.

Discussion:
Ninnie: They're idiots but you just gotta love them! They're freakin' awesome!
Victoria: Right?! If you've liked what they have done before you won't be disappointed. They have new crazy stuff going on and it's highly disgusting and awesome to watch!
Ninnie: Totally. Hm? This might be the best one actually! Or well actually I shouldn't say anything about that since it was a very long time ago I saw the other ones. They do have more disgusting scenes in this one, I personally like the dary things they do more.
Victoria: Yeah. So do I. In a way I don't have much more to add, I feel that if you know how and who they are and what they do you will either, if you like them, watch it and like this one or, if you don't like them, you won't like it. If you know what I mean.
Ninnie: True, but what do you say about the things they do, like do you think they're doing more risky things in this one or do you think that the fact that they're getting older they do easier stuff?
Victoria: No I believe they are worse haha. I mean they have always done weird stuff, and they do not disappoint the viewer in this movie. I don't notice them getting older. (Sounds like they are seniors or something now haha.)
Ninnie: (Haha yes totally.) I agree!  

Sum up: As awesome as always!

To make up for his misstake he replaces it with his own sperm without telling anyone. 

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...?

Four Lions

 

Title: Four Lions
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Release: In the Movie Theaters Feb 4th (Sweden)
Actors: Riz Ahmed, Arsher Ali, Nigel Lindsay, Kayvan Novak, Adeel Akhtar
Plot: Four Lions follows 4 British jihadists, each with their own unique character, who decides to become suicide bombers. 

Discussion:
Ninnie: Ok I sort off don't know what to think about this movie. Do I like it or not? Victora, you seemed to enjoy it anyway.
Victoria: Haha, yes I did. I thought they made it pretty hilarious with their clumsyness. Even though it is a quite serious thing we are talking about here I think the director, Christopher Morris, managed to take the seriousness out and only focus on finding something fun about it. 
Ninnie: Yes definitely. I had a really hard time enjoying it. I did laugh from time to time but mostly I just thought of how serious this actually is. It's kind of lame to think that way since almost every movie contains things that could and have happened in reality, but I did anyway. You have to have a open mind to this one as you say.
Victoria:  True. I kinda think that this is a movie that you either love (like a lot) or hate (really dislike). I'm sure it will make the audience talk and discuss the matter and the movie. I'm also sure it will be discussions in the media about it as well.
Ninnie: Well I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. So, no Victoria that's not right Haha. I liked it in some parts and disliked it in other.
Victoria:  I don't mean it that way, I just mean that either you have a more positive attitude against it or a negative. You seem to be more negative about it, than -in this case- me. So who do you think should watch Four Lions?
Ninnie: Ok fine. Yes, I believe I do.
Hm? Well, not the too serious ones anyway. As for me, I don't regret watching it. If I would have the option to choose to watch it again for the first time (despite knowing that I won't find it THAT good) I would. Hm? I have a hard time saying who should and who shouldn't. Help me Victoria.
Victoria: I hear ya, it is hard. In some way I feel that anyone can watch it- since I think people are going to think so differently about it. I'd say if you like humor about people being clumsy and don't take movies toooo seriously, you will find Four Lions funny. If that's not your thing- well I think you could still give it a try, but then this is not a "must-see" for you.
Ninnie: True, very true. Ok, so I just watched it again in my head, and when I think about the funny parts I realize that it's really funny! Excluding the seriousness. 

Sum up: Funny movie about a serious matter. Might not be appropriate to a younger audience. Very special movie, not like any other.

Get him to the Greek

Title: Get him to the Greek

Genre: Comedy

Release: January 19 (DVD Sweden)

Actors: Russell Brand, Jonah Hill

Plot: Aaron is an intern at a record company, his mission is to get the Brittish rock star Aldous Snow to a concert in L.A, at the Greek Theater. It's not as easy as you might think, especially when someone's on drugs.

Discussion:
Ninnie: Not a good start but it definitely gets better after a while.

Victoria: True. Very true. I really like Jonah Hill as an actor, so I was hoping that, once his character would show up more I would like the movie a lot more. Russell Brand is very special. Sometimes I think he's too much, sometimes his accent is too awesome for me not to like him haha.

Ninnie: Haha I couldn't agree with you more. Jonah Hill in an awesome actor and he does an incredible job in this movie. Russell Brand is perfect for the character, I don't think anyone could have done it better. He is a bit too much as you say but it's perfect for this one. The story is quite entertaining and as you told me before I watched it, it's really easy to watch "Get Him To The Greek".

Victoria: It sure is a very easy going movie. It is purely made to entertain the watcher, and I think it succeeds. I'm not saying it's the best movie ever, but I think it's watchable. Like, if you have seen Russells (Ex. Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Jonahs (Ex. Superbad) other movies and you like them you will enjoy this one as well. But if you know that you think they are bad or just too much, or just don't like this type of genre you will think the same about this one. For sure.

What is the negative parts about this movie?

Ninnie: So True! Bad part is as I mentioned, the beginning, it's so lame.

Some people might react to the bad language they're using, you get use to it though and it's like super common in this type of movie. I'm just saying that it's not suitable for everyone. Otherwise there's nothing bad in specific. What do you say?

Victoria: I agree. That's like the only bad part. I mean, it's obviously not a 5/5 movie, but it's definitely worth watching for entertainment. Any specific good parts in it?

Ninnie: Hear ya. Hm? Not really more then the great chose of actors and a easy going movie.

Sum Up: OK, easy going, great character/actor match. Entertaining but not suitable for everyone considering actors and language.

Release: January 19th (DVD, Sweden)
Actors: Josh Radnor, Malin Akerman, Michael Algieri, Kate Mara
Plot: Sam is a single man living in New York who finds a kid alone on the subway. The kid follows him home  and ends up staying at his place. At this point he also meets a girl.

Discussion:
Victoria: Cute movie. Cute actor. Cute kid.
Ninnie: Totally! The story is a bit slow but I still liked it a lot. Let me just say one thing,  Josh is HOT in the scruffy look.
Victoria: Oh yes. Ok, enough about him haha, although I could talk about him a lot more haha... I liked Malin Åkermans character in the movie, she was cool. But like you said, definitely a little slow. More happened towards the end.
Ninnie: True. So what do you think about the actors performance?
Victoria: I thought they all did a good job. Kinda average, not great but not sucky. How about you?
Ninnie: I agree. So good and bad? Good part, as we mentioned, it's cute and you want to know what's gonna happen. All the characters are kind of interesting individuals. Bad, also as we mentioned a bit slow. Who is this movie for, who should watch it?
Victoria: Well, I think people in our age (20 and up)- at least the female audience- should watch it and will like it. This is not really a super romantic movie, more of a cute one. So if guys like that kind of movie I think they will enjoy it too.

Sum up: Cute, yet a little slow movie with interesting characters.

We decided we need to rate this movie twice, because of the fact that we- forgive us- find the movie slightly better since we have some eyecandy (Josh Radnor) to watch all the time. Without him as an actor the movie itself is not as good. Apparently.

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.

Title: The Muppet Christmas Carol
Genre: Family, Comedy, Fantasy

Release: December 17 1992
Actors: Michael Caine 

Discussion:
Ninnie: It's funny, sad and exciting! I really like it! Although I think that the first version, of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, you see is the one that you'll like the most. This was not the first one I saw there for not my personal favorite. Mine is definitely "Mickey's Christmas Carol". But still, it's really, really nice.
Victoria: Yeah I know what you mean. "luckily" (?) I can't remember Mickye's version very well (but I know that one is the only one I've watched before) so for me this one is special  I really like the characters in this version and how they make it funny with funny songs and so on....
Ninnie: Yes totally! If this is the first one you see, you'll love it! It's filled with Christmas spirit! If you know the songs you'll definitely "feel something" every time you sing them.
Victoria: Yeah I think it really gives you a spirit, which I think a Christmas movie should do... Can you find something less good about it?
Ninnie: Hm? Well I think that sometimes to much singing can destroy a movie, But then again it's Christmas and you're suppose to sing. And well of course I have to point out that for example when they're flying (it looks superduper lame and fake, but it's totally OK in this kind of movie. What do you say?
Victoria: I agree, well as long as the songs are nice it's ok, so I can't say it destroyed the movie. Not that I think you mean it that way anyway... But yeah, no otherwise I can't really think of anything. I think they made this one really good- a real classic.
Ninnie: No you're right that's not what I meant at all. And I agree!

Sum Up: Great Christmasy movie if you wanna get in the mood for the Holidays. It's good because it's both funny, exciting and sad, and if you're looking for a good Christmas carol and you haven't yet seen this one- see it!

Discussion: 

Ninnie: I have to say I'm surprised by how good it actually was. I usually don't like when singers does acting but I enjoyed it.

Victoria: Yeah me too. Although, I feel this way- it's a good movie, but I feel like there are already sooo many movies with the same story. Well, the insemination part, of course, isn't the most common story in a movie, but most romantic comedies are somehow... the same?

Ninnie: I hear you. It was entertaining for the evening though. I do believe a lot of women will enjoy it.

Victoria: Yes, I'm not saying they won't. I don't dislike it, I'm just saying it wasn't a special movie. So will guys enjoy it?

Ninnie: Hm? Maybe not so many but some will probably recognize what the man in this movie feels.

Victoria: Anything you want to add?

Discussion:
Ninnie: I have to say I'm surprised  over how entertaining this movie actually was.
Victoria: Yeah, I thought it was just gonna be this regular average movie (well it kind of was), but it was so easy to watch and like you said - entertaining for the mind.
Ninnie: Mila Kunis and Jason Bateman is two very good actors yet not too recognized for their performances and they were just as good in this one.
Victoria: Pros?
Ninnie: Well everything that we mentioned above and also that it was a very nice combination between comedy and drama... and crime. Cons?

Ninnie: I hear you! It's action from the start which is good.
Victoria: Who should watch it?
Ninnie: Someone who's not looking for the best action movie there is but still a decent one.
Victoria: I just realized I could easily compare this movie to another Action/Comedy movie - "Killers" with Ashton Kutcher and Katharine Heigl. Then "Killers" is def better.

Sum up: A decent action/comedy movie. Not Cruise's or Diaz's best movie, but they still do a good job.

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!

Plot: Five good childhood friends reunite when their high school basketball coach passes away. They are now grown up with familes.

Discussion:

Ninnie: I really enjoyed watching this. I love Kevin James, he doesn't even have to do anything to be funny.
Victoria: Indeed. As with so many recent movies I feel like I had my hopes up too high for this one as well. It WAS funny, but with a cast like this I thought it would me more of a laugh-out-loud-movie.
Ninnie: Yes, but I have been so disappointed with a lot of movies recently so I was kind of prepared to feel the same way this time, but I didn't. Even though I had my hopes up it didn't let me down that much.
Victoria: It's still a funny movie, I do like it. I think the story is good, and also true when it shows that "kids of today" don't play the same way as maybe one or more decades ago.
Ninnie: Totally! Best part about it is the actors/characters. They are really funny with their different personalities.
Victoria: Yes. I think everyone should watch it. It's not the best movie of 2010 but definitely entertaining!
Ninnie: Agree! I think it's at its best if you're like 20+.

Discussion:
Ninnie: You've been telling me for a while now that this is an awsome movie so I really had my hopes up. And well, it was really good don't get me wrong, just maybe not as good as you made me believe. Bad Victoria! Haha.
Victoria: See, what I've come to notice is that all the movies I've watched in the movies in The States a few months ago were much funnier then. It's a difference when watching them in DVD, I think. This is a funny movie- yes, but I remember it being more funny.
Ninnie: Okay sure. So what's good about it?
Victoria: Well first of all I like the whole concept of the time machine and them going back to the 80's! Second of all the concept that they could do whatever they wanted with their past- OR had to stick with the past that led them to their predetermined future.
Ninnie: Agree! There's something about this movie that I didn't like but I just can't put my finger on it. But all in all it's good!

Sum up: Funny movie that we recommend you watch with a bunch of friends. Dont't have your hopes up cause then you will enjoy it more.

Ninnie: 4/5
Victoria: 4,2/5
