Battlefield Earth (2000)
"special" is an understatement
Filming a shoe for an hour and a half would earn a 1 out of 10, so I'll give it a 2 for that. It DID have entertainment value, but...
I found myself so confused at times, and not just confused, but completely lost, struggling, for long periods of time, trying to make SENSE of what was actually taking place.
Often during the movie I amused myself pretending it was an adventurous role playing computer game, and that i was watching someone play, and those cheesy dialogs unfold.
Yes, I can honestly say that it was very amusing to watch, I laughed a lot actually, and I'm glad I took the time to watch it!
The movie should definitely come with a warning though, something in the lines of danger of damage to the mind itself. Some of the scenes were so confusing you see, so confusing... made no sense... no sense... did I mention that?
But whatever, some kid's shows are more confusing and definitely worse in general, and you've seen them, so go ahead, watch the movie just for the RUSH!
Gamle mænd i nye biler (2002)
Brilliant
First off, i am surprised by people disapproving this movie on the grounds of the humour being at times unethical. The purpose of black humour is just to be able to laugh at matters that are usually considered outside of jokes, such as serious illness, or even murder - otherwise it would be _plain_ humour, and not _black_ humour ;)
?Spoilers (i wouldn't say so, but be warned anyway..) That said, this movie is stuffed with black humour, and amazing dialogue. Actionmovies (not the official genre of the movie, but still its action-packed) made to happen in Scandinavia aren't really realistic, so its a good thing this movie realizes this, and just as well exaggerates the whole thing - and makes it all even more hilarious. I also enjoyed the linguistic humour, concerning the communication problems between the Swedish and the Danish, something lots of Scandinavians would recognize themselves in. See, we're supposed to understand everything that we all say, but its not always that easy ;)
Now, i haven't seen "In china they eat dogs" yet, but I'm planning to, so i cannot really compare the two movies. But this movie alone, is absolutely recommendable if you enjoy black humour, and especially if your curious about how we sound up north :)
