Talking about Black and White....

This is a thriller based on the first book of the Swedish writer Stieg Larson's trilogy Millennium «Men who hates women» (It's in Swedish both the movies and the books, just so you know). The movie is about a journalist, the last wish of an old (not dying) man and a suspicious disappearance. The journalist partners up with someone (I'm trying not to say to much about the film). And they work the case together, and some other things as well.

This was a good movie. It was filled with action, mystery and some well-earned payback. And it keeps you tense throughout the entire film. This was really my kind of movie. I liked every bit of it, yet I will only give it 7.5 out of 10 stars. Why? Because they called it a thriller. On the back of the cover it said “Thriller”, so I expected a thriller, but I wouldn't say this qualifies as a thriller. It was more like an action-filled crime thingy with a hunch of thriller in it.

The rape-scene that is so much spoken of was very good, and it looked seriously realistic, but I've heard it was gross as hell, I didn't find it gross at all, sure it is rape and all, but still it's just a movie and you're not actually watching someone get raped. That was a good scene.

The fact that they used both old-school and hi-tech methods to solve it impressed me very much. Putting those two opposites together was genius! I liked that a lot.

And I liked the characters very much. They were almost opposites too. And they filled each other out. And Lisbeth was my favorite character I have to say. She was so serious, yet fun. So rough, yet so smooth. So black, yet so white.

The characters were used to the fullest! And that is a huge plus! We saw them from so many different angles. It was simply brilliant, superb. And the job done by the actors were no less.

It was a serious minus that they called it a thriller duh. I have nothing more to say about that.

I really liked this film and I rate it 7.5 out of 10 stars. Nothing more to say about that either.

This hour long film tells the story of my favourite actors life. Guess who? Who, but Jackie Chan can be so interesting to hear about. So, it was a documentary about his life and career. Mostly about his career. From the early beginning of his life in Hong Kong to late in his life in Hollywood and New York. Throughout his entire career as a stuntman, movie-star, martial arts legend, producer and so much more is in this hour-long film. He even reveals his future plans.

This film was very interesting and informative. It told us a lot about his life and career. We got to know his opinions on different things. We got to see things from different perspectives. It showed us why Jackie is the legend he is today, how he started at “the bottom” and worked his way up from small parts in random movies to making his own and being the main character. Based on all these things and dozens more I state my opinion as this: “I loved it. It is the only documentary I have really enjoyed (there is only one more documentary that I have enjoyed at all and that is “An inconvenient truth” with Al Gore) and found interesting.

I really do recommend this film to anyone who likes Jackie, and/or his movies (so, practically, I'm recommending it to every man and women in this world). You will most likely enjoy it. I sure did.

And as usual I rate the film. This time is actually kind of special because it is the very first time I have rated a film with a rating as high as this, which is as high as possible. In other words, I'm giving it ten out of ten stars.
