Genre: Comedy, crime

Actors: Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis

Plot: Joel has his own company which he's planing to sell. But everything get's all messed up, lawsuit, a cheating wife and temptation at work.  

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?
Victoria: Seriously, I can't really think of anything, but by that I don't mean that it's a flawless, perfect movie. But in general I wouldn't say that there's too many negative things about it actually.

Sum up: Very easy-going and entertaining movie for people 17 years old and up.

Victoria: 3,9/5
Ninnie: 4/5

Knight And Day

Title: Knight and Day
Genre: Action, Comedy
Release: December 8th, 2010 (DVD, Sweden)
Actors: Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz,
Plot: June meets a stranger on the airport and they happen to be on the same flight. After they've been talking she thinks that he could just be the man of her dreams. But she soon realizes that she was wrong, when she finds out that he's a secret agent.

Discussion: Victoria: I'd say a decent entertaining movie.
Ninnie: True. The excitment is on an average level.
Victoria: I definitely think people should and can watch it. Both Cruise & Diaz does an OK job.
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.

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

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

The Cove

Title: The Cove

Genre: Documentary
Cast: Brook Aitken, Joe Chisholm,

Plot: A group of activists, that is led by Ric O'Barry, the famous dolphin trainer, travels to a cove near Taijii, Japan to reveal a shocking example of animal abuse and also to tell the people about a serious threat to human health.

Discussion:

Victoria: I must say I really like the fact that they made a movie out of this. And I hate what they are showing.

Ninnie: Totally! It's really interesting and you can learn a few things from watching this.
Victoria:  For sure! Do you find this movie/documentary boring or is it interesting all through?
Ninnie: I wouldn't say it's boring 'cause it's quite touching at some points. But maybe some information is kind of unnecessary, nothing you will think about or take in. What do you say?
Victoria: I agree. I do think they made it quite interesting all through it. So, I wouldn't say this movie is for everyone though. Like if you don't really care about dolphins or how people treat them you probably won't be touched at all, but if you do care I really think you should watch it, you will be touched.
Ninnie: Agree!

Sum up: So, I kind of feel like my last comment there was a bit of a sum up. Really touching story- if you care about living creatures, pretty interesting all through and a quite shocking movie.

Ninnie: 3,8/5
Victoria: 3,9/5

Inception

Title: Inception
Genre: Action, Crime, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Release: December 8th, 2010 (DVD, Sweden)
Actors: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy
Plot: This movie takes place in a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion. Don Cobb, a very talented thief is given his last chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job till date, Inception.

Discussion:
Ninnie: I really liked the concept of this movie! The dream worlds they are creating is amazing and you totally recognize the structure from your own dreams.
Victoria: I must say this movie is freaking sick ! This is one movie that I've actually only heard people say good stuff about, and now I know why. It's such an interesting movie!
Ninnie: Yes totally, and not at all like other movies. It was exciting and you had to concentrate to be able to follow what was happening, but not in a bad way.
Victoria: Inception is a movie you should see for yourself and make up your own opinions, it's hard to explain what you think and what it is about. This is a movie in it's own category. So Ninnie, is there anything that is negative about it?
Ninnie: Um? I wouldn't say there is but since it is such a complex movie it might be a little difficult for some people to understand.


Sum up: A fantastic movie out of the ordinary. It is a must-see for the watcher who wants something to think about after finishing it.


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

Grown Ups

Title: Grown Ups

Genre: Comedy

Release: February 2nd, 2011 (DVD, Sweden)

Actors: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph

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+.

Sum up: Funny movie with great actors and funny characters.

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