The Lighthouse (2019)
Avoid at all cost!
The acting is great. Truly great!
There are som interesting experiments with camera, pans etc. And this is when this review should have ended.
The manuscript is worst of the worst AWFUL. OK i see the ambition in making good art and they try to do something unique here. BUT UNIQUE IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD! I hated this movie. I really hated it but forced myself to see it till ending.
During the years, I saw reviews from other movies when someone type lik... "Can I have theese 2 hours of my life back" and I always thought "Cmon it cant be THAT bad". Well, YES IT CAN.
I wanted to rate this sleeping pill a 0 in score, but gave it a 2 due to my humble respect to very good actors.
When end credits rolled, I was just angry because i felt it gave me a totally wasted evening. I do NOT recommend this movie.
Shadow in the Cloud (2020)
Silly but entertaining and with an IMPRESSIVE Chloë
Just needed to type this, to balance all hater reviews!
Silly? Yes, the script is a bit cheesy and silly with not that great logic...
Entertaining? Yes, it's really entertaining, sometimes great dialogue and with sometimes great action.
Chloë? REALLY IMPRESSIVE. She's done a great journey since Hitgirl (that was BTW also good performance). Well done Chloë!
I give script a 4/10, the entertainment a 8/10 and Chloë a 12/10, ending up a neat 8/10 in score.
Tau (2018)
Really good story and actors!
Hard 4 me to understand that some people dislikes this movie. How can it be below 6 in rating?
My highest respect for the actors, and the story was great. If You like Sci-Fi, You make a mistace if You dont see this!
Sluga Gosudarev (2007)
Good movie, REALLY SUCKED as documentary
Good movie, REALLY SUCKED as documentary Im from Sweden, don't get me wrong, this IS a nice movie. Really enjoyed the whole picture, really enjoyed the SwedesAreBad parts, because we actually did do BAD things at 1709. The invented story with the details about french observers, the black rider etc was nice 2, worked fine to make the movie 'going'. (Karl XII was by the way hurt in one foot by a bullet before battle, nice thing to make a movie main char do this in the movie) Just some clarification's about the battle, because it is tense, well-done and SUCKS as historical document
The whole redutt fight was a misunderstanding Swedish orders was to run thru reduttes just before morning/sun-break thru to the fields beyond. Unclear orders made 2000 out of 8000 infantries die at reduttes in vain and only captured some of them. (6000 ran thru as ordered) At main battle of Poltava-battle (after reduttes), 6000 Swedish infantry's attacked 18000 (!) likewise Russians. The Swedes had gunpowder for one shot only and no artillery at all. The Russian army used all the modern artillery they disposed. It was a slaughter, and approx 3000 or more Swedes were Dead Meat before able to make their first and only shot in this fight. Tsar Peter dwelled inside Russian camp whole battle (generals made all decisions) and no glorious cavalry charge changed the tide of battle at Poltava. Notable: in fact cavalry at this time had lost most of its OFFENSIVE capabilities (example: 60 years earlier Swedish infantry slaughtered the royal Polish cavalry outside Warsaw with no cavalry support). Cavallery at this time was mostly used vs cavalry, vs flanks or vs fleeing runners. The first outcome of Poltava was obvious for the remains of Swedish infantry, documents state them hiding under dead friends, sniped to death from distance by Russians. The second outcome was political: Sweden forever erased from the list of super-dominating nations. Im happy for that part. For example: Bin Laden ignores us :) I see this screen strictly as adventure but pointless if You wanna know what really happened and in fact rate this Adventure to 7/10.
My 2 cents. /S
