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!


Victoria: 4/5

Guess The Movie #5

Thought It was about time we post another Guess the movie clip so here it comes!
This might be a tough one so we're gonna give you two hints.
Its a movie from the late 90s and the kid has also been in the tv-show "Friends"
Good Luck!
(includes a bonus where we spontaniously keep pretending to cry. It ends with Ninnie getting slaped in her face!)

Trust

Title: Trust
Genre: Drama, Thriller
Release: August 10th, 2011 (DVD Sweden)
Actors: Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, Liana Liberato, Jason Clarke
Plot: 14 year old Annie meets a guy on the internet, "Charlie" who's 16. They decide to meet, and "Charlie" turns out to be a 40year old serial pedophile. The following 24h will change Annies and her families life in a way the never believed was possible.

Discussion:
Victoria: This is an awful movie ! In a good way! Or not in a good way, because it's a terrible story, but it's made in a really good and "real" way, I'd say!
Ninnie: Agree! It makes you so mad and I think everone did a great job acting wise!
Victoria: Right?! While I was watching it I was so frustrated at the situation and the girl, but I could totally understand how she felt also. When you think about the fact that these things are happening every day all over the World it makes me so angry! And the fact that it made me think so much about these things IRL is a sign that the movie really got to you!
Ninnie: Oh yes! I build up this hatred for that a**hole! Bad thing Victoria?

Victoria: Hmm.. Well someone might say that it is a bad thing that you get so angry with the movie, but I don't see it as a bad thing, otherwise I really can't think of anything that is bad-bad. Something really good, on the other hand, is one of Clive Owens last scenes where he cries, and he literally tears my heart apart. It's so emotional that even I almost started crying (and I'm NOT someone who cries in movies). Thumbs up for Owens acting.
Ninnie: Yes Omg, Clive is an awesome actor, and the scene you just mentioned is AMAZING!


Sum up: Great, emotional and frustrating movie. If you're looking for something intense and dramatic this is a must-see!

Victoria: 4,5/5
Ninnie: 4,1/5

The Experiment

Actors: Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Cam Gigandet,
Plot: 26 strangers get the opportunity to be a part of a well-paid study of human behaviors where they have to spend 2 weeks as prisoners and guardians in a simulated prison environment. The experiment ultimately spirals out of control.

Discussion:
Ninnie: Let me just say Wow!
Victoria: Let me just say Wow as well. Really, really good movie. It made your mind blow. You get so frustrated while watching it and you do not want to stop watching it. That's how good it is.
Ninnie: Indeed! Actors are great! It's a psychological movie and I really like those!
Victoria: Yes. Would you say that this is a "viewers discretion advised" kind of movie? Who should and should not watch The Experiment?
Ninnie: People who like psychological movies and likes to see how normal people react under these circumstances. If you can't stand to get mad and frustrated because of a movie you shouldn't watch it.
Bad thing?
Victoria: Personally, I cannot think of anything. It's a too good and captivating movie to contain anything bad.

Ninnie: 4,6/5
Victoria: 4,5/5

Title: Source Code
Genre: Science Fiction, Thriller
Release date: November 30th, 2011 (DVD, Sweden)
Actors: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga. 
Plot: A soldier, Colter Stevens, wakes up in the body of an unknown man and later realizes he's part of a mission to identify the bomber on a train in Chicago.

                                      

Discussion:
Victoria: I liked it, it was an exciting movie, and Jake Gyllenhaal did a really good job with his acting!
Ninnie: Totally! The one scene when he cries is amazing! It's a really interesting movie.
Victoria: Very. I find it interesting because in some way you can be a part of the movie, and try to find clues yourself. It's not easy, but you get the feeling that you could.  Who is this movie for, Ninnie?
Ninnie: Someone who likes that you have to plunge into a movie. If you like movies like Inception you'll probably like this one too. If you want a movie with lots of action I wouldn't recommend this one. There is action but not in that way.
Victoria: Exactly.

Sum up: Really good sci-fi/thriller movie, good acting from Gyllenhaal and definitively worth watching!

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

Megamind

 

Title: Megamind
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: 3,5/5
