Den som frykter ulven (2004)
Well-made Thriller Keeps Audience Guessing
This is a good Norwegian movie I recommend more people to see. It's a pretty good thriller, and it kept me guessing until the very end. Kristoffer Joner makes a very believable neurotic mental patient(as usual). The Danish Lars Bom also does a good job of playing the cop on the edge. Stig Henrik does a decent job, cussing like only a northern Norwegian can. Aksel Hennie on the other hand does not come across like he should in scenes where he should be angry or sad. He always has that grin on his face, just like in Buddy. He has potential though. The pacing of the movie is very well done, very well shot by the cameraman too. Thumbs up!
Tai ji quan (1996)
Nice Fighting With Bad Acting
I saw this movie hoping it would run along the lines of "tai-chi master". After seeing the movie I'm not even sure it this is the sequel to it. There was very little, if any, reference to tai-chi. The acting was below average on almost all the actors. The story was very superficial with a simple plot. But then again, I don't watch hong-kong movies for their amazing storylines, I watch them for the fighting. And that's exactly what is this movie's strong point, the fighting is pretty nice, and inventive(pig-tail whip). Coolest fighting-scene was the one against the dad. Still, I can't reccomend this movie. Hopefully, a sequel worthy of being associated with tai-chi master will come along. Until then, I suggest you all dig out the original.
Ren zhe da jue dou (1987)
Cheesy Kung-fu Movie
far from the best I've seen, it features some weird nudity and a script that has no focus at all, but still it's entertaining. the ninja training camp is pretty cool. it's basically a war between the wu-tang school and shaolin, the wu-tang abbott(abbott white) teams up with a group of japanese ninjas to take over the region. two shaolin-descendant brothers take them on to reclaim the shaolin supremacy. it has some very cheap effects, and horrible acting, but the fighting scenes have enough adrenaline to keep you watching it through. you'll be walking around finger-jabbing your friends for a while after seeing it. but don't bother with this movie unless you're a hardcore fan.
