A Few Good Men (1992)

Favorite Director, Favorite Writer!

[8/10 · 19 November 2001]

Well, with that combination, together with the fact that I've wanted to watch this movie for nine years, I was bound to have rather high expectations when I sat down last night to see it. And I thought it was... great! Everybody's speaking of Jack Nicholson's performance, and sure, it's great. But I thought that Tom Cruise, who's growing on me every day, was at least as good as Mr. Nicholson in this movie. I really liked it, and I rate it with an 8. Maybe it would have been even higher without the high expectations I had before watching it...

The One and Only (1999)

Best danish movie I've ever seen!!

[8/10 · 10 June 2001]

I must say that it's the best danish picture I've ever seen, even if Festen also was a very good and interesting film. This is a romantic comedy which is as good as the best american and english once, for instance When Harry Met Sally... and Four Weddings And A Funeral. If you like that kind of movies and can accept the danish language =) you will like this movie, Den eneste Ene, too.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Funny, exciting and great entertainment. One of my favorite movies!

The first two Indiana Jones movies were quite ok movies in my opinion. Good and entertaining for the moment and it's quite clear that Harrison Ford is definitely the right man to play Indy. But the third one is so much better. Better plot, more thrilling and more great comedy. Sean Connery is perfect as Indy's father and there seems to be some kind of chemistry in the scenes with Harrison Ford and him. The rest of the cast (Denholm Elliott, John Rhys-Davies, Alison Doody a.o.) is also very good. Without doubt one of my favorite movies!

I'd say that everybody should watch this movie sometime. I'm sure you won't regret it.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

Most over-rated film of this year!

[2/10 · 20 April 2001]

Think this must have been one of the most boring movies I've ever watched. Not much happened and the movie also had a very bad story. I also thought that it felt like the movie was 5 hours long or something... The only good thing with the movie was the actors: Matt Damon (great as usual), Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow was really good. Maybe the fact that I had really high expectations on this movie made me hate it even more.
