Stockholm Bloodbath (2023)
Probably one of the best movies to come out of Swedish production in decades
Im surprised over the mixed review , cause it was funny and gory and masterfully edited. For sure it has som quirks and odditys. But in general a very good gladiator / braveheart kind of movie. The to leading ladies were excellent. And the Danish king fantastic. The twist in characters compaired to the real history is a good choice , the mix of English, Swedish and Danish actors is also a good choice. I see a bright future for the to leading ladies.
The fact that the picture in its entirity is in English is also a wise choice. But still many.. not really cause it is still early and people has not seen it yet but the majority of the hundred or so critics here thinks its a pile of dog crap but I still thinks its probably one of the best movies to come out of Swedish production in decades.
Arn: Tempelriddaren (2007)
Swedens best Hollywood copy ever!
The film starts off with a kind of irritating and a bit ridiculous narrator voice that tells us about Arn and his upbringing, but after a while it goes away (luckally) :) To my surprise the movie was really cool and interesting and exciting to watch. I was literally on my toes throughout the whole movie. Another thing to complain about was Arn's time in Jerusalem, it was almost a remake of Orlando Blooms characters time there in "Kingdom of heaven". Defiantly worth watching and I am not surprised if this flick reaches out internationally. This is a must see for all of those who loved "Braveheart" and "Kingdom of heaven" etc etc.
Red Dragon (2002)
Never fear Hannibal is here!!!
I saw this during my visit to the states and I went in to the theater without any expectations what so ever because I had never heard about it prior to my visit to the US. I was pleasantly shocked when a saw that the great actor Sir. Anthony Hopkins was in it and that he starts the movie off by saying "think to your self that every day is your last" I just got the chills, Hannibal is back and better then ever. But the movies is more about the character Will Graham excellent portrayed by Edward Norton, but don't worry Hannibal still has a big part in the movie. If you liked Silence of the lambs you must see this movie, and if you haven't go and watch it anyway you won't be disappointed.
