Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1 Subtitles: Engelsk, Spansk Stars:John Cusack Malin Akerman Liam Cunningham Richard Brake Bryan Dick Finbar Lynch Plot:After his latest mission goes disastrously wrong, veteran CIA black ops agent Emerson Kent (John Cusack, 2012) is given one last chance to prove he still has what it takes to do his job. His new assignment: guarding Katherine (Malin Akerman, Watchmen), a code operator at a top-secret remote CIA "Numbers Station" where encrypted messages are sent and received. When an elite team of heavily armed assailants lays siege to the station, Emerson and Katherine suddenly find themselves in a life-or-death struggle against an unknown enemy. With the station compromised and innocent lives at stake, they must stop the deadly plot before it's too late. Extras:Scenevalg Bonus Trailers Dokumentar My Thoughts: Well, i guess i wanted to check out this movie mainly because of Malin Åkerman.. Its a long time since i've seen her in anything. So that was nice. And the movie looked allright in the thrailer. The movie had some potential but they didnt make anything out of it. The story was interesting enough. But the movie was a bit too slow for my taste. And the suspence wasnt really suspence since we knew how the thing would end. All in all a dull movie that had a great potential and could do so much more. But it was nice to see Malin Åkerman again, so that helps. Not recommanded. My Rating: 2/6 |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded Year: 2013 Director: Roel Reiné Rating: Rated R : Violence, Language, Some Sexuality/Nudity, and Brief Drug Use Length: 94 Min. Video: Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Kommentar: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: Engelsk, Fransk, Spansk Stars:Randy Orton Tom Stevens Brian Markinson Venus Terzo Cindy Busby Sean Rogerson Plot:WWE superstar Randy Orton slams action into overdrive in this pulse-pounding thrill ride filled with gripping suspense! Paramedic Nick Malloy (Orton) is plunged into a deadly game of cat and mouse when he receives a terrifying phone call from a vengeful psychopath (Brian Markinson) connected to his past. The maniac threatens to unleash a murder spree unless Nick can complete a series of 12 challenges without involving the cops or missing a single deadline. With no time to spare — and his own wife's life on the line — Nick must piece together cryptic clues and hunt down the killer before it's too late! Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Digital Copy My Thoughts: Well, going in to this one i didnt have any expactations really. Remembering that i didnt enjoyed the first 12 Rounds starring John Cena. And some of the other movies i've seen from WWE Studios hasnt been the greatest one all the time. But this one was actually ok. The story was ordinary. The typical story about a maniac wanting revange. And you see both Randy Orton and the other cast really tries. And for a low budget movie and for Randy's first time as an actor. I think they did an ok job with this one. And the extras are great too in this one. Its recommanded if you find it for a cheap penny. My Rating: 3.5/6 | | | | Last edited: by Piffi |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: The Lost ValentineIMDb | Wikipedia | Trailer | Year: 2011 Director: Darnell Martin Writer: Maryann Ridini Spencer (teleplay), Barton Taney (teleplay) Rating: NR Length: 97 Min. Video: Widescreen :1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English Stars:Jennifer Love Hewitt as Susan Allison Betty White as Caroline Thomas Sean Faris as Lucas Thomas Billy Magnussen as Neil Thomas Meghann Fahy as Young Caroline Nadia Dajani as Julie Oliver Plot:On Valentine's Day, 1944, Navy Lt. Neil Thomas bids Caroline, his pregnant young wife, farewell from Union Station for service in WWII. Before their sone is born, Neil's fighter plane goes down in the Pacific and he's declared missing in action. Caroline is devastated. But love never dies, and for the next 65 years Caroline (Betty White) returns to Union Station on the anniversary of her husband's departure to salute his memory. When local TV report Susan Allison (Jennifer Love Hewitt) receives an assignment to cover the love story, she's introduced to Neil and Caroline's grandson. The two are quickly attracted to one another and start to work on the story. Lucas encourages his initially reluctant grandmother to cooperate, while Susan uses her resources to investigate Neil's disappearance. Together the young couple uncovers two love stories - one that has stood the test of time and a new one just beginning. Extras:Scene Access Featurettes Production Notes Interviews Closed Captioned My Thoughts: This is a TV Movie that I borrowed from the library. I got this one mainly because I am such a big fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt... and the fact that Betty White is in this as well is just a bonus for me. I have liked her in most everything I have seen her in. I wasn't sure what I would think of her in this one as it isn't a comedy... and comedy is what Betty White is known for. But I found she is very capable of pulling off drama as well. This really is a sweet story. It gives closure to one love story at the same time of starting another. It is a good watch...would like to add it to my collection at some point. My Rating:

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Evil DeadTrailer | IMDb | Wikipedia | Year: 2013 Director: Fede Alvarez Writer: Fede Alvarez (Screenwriter), Rodo Sayagues (Screenwriter), Sam Raimi (Original Material By) Rating: Rated R : Strong Bloody Violence and Gore, some Sexual Content and Language Length: 91 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Audio Descriptive: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Jane Levy as Mia Shiloh Fernandez as David Lou Taylor Pucci as Eric Jessica Lucas as Olivia Elizabeth Blackmore as Natalie Phoenix Connolly as Teenager Plot:A secluded cabin. An ancient curse. An unrelenting evil. The original producers reunite to present a genuinely terrifying re-imagining of their original horror masterpiece. Five young friends have found the mysterious and fiercely powerful Book of the Dead. Unable to resist its temptation, they release a violent demon on a bloodthirsty quest to possess them all. Who will be left to fight for their survival and defeat this unearthly force of murderous carnage? Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Featurettes My Thoughts: Being a big fan of the original film I was curious about this remake. While I found it to be pretty good... I much prefer the original. While this one had some cool looking visuals it lacked the charm of the original. And I found I really didn't care about the characters in this version as I did the other. But this one has it's moments. So I am not sorry I watched it... can even see it making it into my collection at some point. But I won't be in any hurry to do so. My Rating:

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Year: 1953 Director: Howard Hawks Rating: NR Length: 91 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Engelsk: Dolby Digital: Mono, Spansk: Dolby Digital: Mono, Fransk: DTS: 5.1 Subtitles: Engelsk, Fransk, Spansk Stars:Jane Russell Marilyn Monroe Charles Coburn Elliott Reid Tommy Noonan (1921) George Winslow Plot:Featuring Marilyn Monroe's legendary rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," this fun musical comedy is a knockout on Blu-ray™. Marilyn and Jane Russell star as two showgirls who set sail on a luxury liner bound for France. Hijinks on the high seas ensue as Lorelei (Monroe) and Dorothy (Russell) discover they're being tailed by a private detective hired by the father of Lorelei's landlocked boyfriend. By the time the ship reaches Paris, a missing diamond tiara lands the girls in hot water, but by following their hearts, they'll get out of trouble and on to the altar. Extras:Scenevalg Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Dokumentar My Thoughts:Going in to this one i didnt know what to expect. I havent seen many Monroe movies in the past. But what i've seen i've really enjoyed. And this one was allright aswell. A lighthearted comedy with a mix of some great music and song. I guess its too much music\singing in this one for Pete's taste  But it was a fun and warm movie that its recommanded to check out if you like Marilyn Monroe. My Rating: 4/6 |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: The Tall Man Year: 2012 Director: Pascal Laugier Rating: Rated 15 : Strong Threat, Violence and Language and Child Abduction Theme Length: 106 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: Engelsk: PCM: 2-Channel Stereo, Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1 Subtitles: Stars:Jessica Biel Jodelle Ferland Stephen McHattie William B. Davis Samantha Ferris Colleen Wheeler Plot:COLD ROCK, U.S.A. - on the surface just a small town like any other. However, the residents of Cold Rock are quietly living with a horrible truth: their children keep disappearing, leaving neither a clue nor a witness. Whilst the police are no closer to finding out why, some of the more superstitious locals whisper tales of The Tall Man, a legendary, mysterious dark figure who takes children away never to be seen again. So when local nurse Julia (Jessica Biel - Total Recall, The A-Team), wakes one night to find her son David's bed empty, all her worst fears are realised. Is the dark figure she sees escaping with David really The Tall Man? If so, who is he and where does he take the children? And why do some of the town folk seem to know more than they are prepared to say... Also starring William B. Davis (The X-Files) and directed by Pascal Laugier (Martyrs), The Tall Man is packed with plot twists and nail-biting tension, blurring the boundaries between horror and thriller like never before. Extras:Scenevalg Interviews My Thoughts: Well, i watched this a few days ago i think it was. But i've fallen a bit behind on my reviews on some movies. And i was looking forward to this one actually. It was a long time since i've seen Jessica Biel in anything and was interested to see how she was. And it was actually a allright horrorflick. With some good moments trough out the movie a interesting story. And i have to be honest it isnt the worst i've seen from Jessica Biel. And somehow they make it work. I would recommand it for a cheap penny. My Rating: 4/6 |

Video: Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: Engelsk: PCM: 5.1, Engelsk: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Fransk: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spansk: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Kommentar: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: Engelsk, Fransk, Spansk Stars:Jodie Foster Peter Sarsgaard Sean Bean Kate Beahan Michael Irby Assaf Cohen Plot:The suspense climbs to a fever pitch in Flightplan on Blu-ray's high definition disc. Dive into Hitchcock-like thrills as never before via this exhilarating new format. Flying at 40,000 feet in a state-of-the-art aircraft that she helped design, Kyle Pratt's (Foster) six-year-old daughter Julia vanishes without a trace. Or did she? No one on the plane believes Julia was ever onboard. Now Kyle, desperate and fighting for her sanity, can only count on her own wits to unravel the mystery and save her daughter. Feast your eyes on every nerve-wracking scene in breathtaking 1080p, while enhanced audio stirs your sense. Ascend to unsurpassed levels of entertainment with Blu-ray™ High Definition. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Dokumentar My Thoughts: This movie was actually much better then i remembered it to be. The story in the movie is ofc well known. The story about the 'crazy' mom and the missing child. But things isnt exactly how it looks at times. They did a great job with keeping the suspence and action trough out the movie. And Jodie Foster did a great job as the lead. Great acting by her (again and as always) Just a great movie trough and trough. For me this is highly recommanded. My Rating: 5/6 |

The longtime friends now loathe each other and they face cutthroat competition from guerrilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt. But there's still a chance to save the act – both onstage and off – if Burt can retrieve his magic mojo! Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Outtakes/Bloopers My Thoughts: This is another film I got from the library. I mainly borrowed it because of the some of the names in this one. But I was concerned by what the movie was about. When I got home I watched the trailer. And I went from concerned to worried. It just didn't look like a film I would enjoy. After watching it.... turns out I was right. While it did have it's moments.... for the most part I just didn't care for it. I didn't find it funny and didn't care for many of the characters. Over-all I would have to say skip it. My Rating:

And in this bluray set you get some cool extras aswell. This movie is highly recommanded to check out! My Rating: 5/6 |

Just as Nell settles in, she is tormented by the seductive demonic presence that once possessed her. She realizes that the evil force is back with unimaginably horrific plans which could only mean that her last exorcism was just the beginning. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Digital Copy My Thoughts: Well, this movie is one of the reasons why sequals shouldnt be made sometimes. The movie was boring and the scare moments wasnt even there IMHO. This was just a poor effort to make some money of the series. I enjoyed the first movie, but with this one they just failed just about everywhere. Its not recommanded! My Rating: 1.5/6 |

And the movie is a decent one with a interesting plot. And i like what they have done with this actually. A great thriller with a good mix of suspence. And Harrison Ford was a class act in this aswell. This a good thriller about a innocent lawyer that is being framed but the whole case\story gets a cool twist. A good movie that i recommand you guys to check out for a cheap penny. My Rating: 4/6 |
