Midsommer (2003)
Amazing acting by Tuva Novotny
I've seen this movie twice and it's good. It's not one of those movies where you leave the cinema absolutely amazed. But it was entertaining and scary, which was what I expected. The acting went from amazing to average/bad. A couple of the Danes, who had this movie as their debut movie, looked almost bad on the screen. You could easily see they almost didn't have an experience in the acting area. Lucky it wasn't any of the lead characters. The lead character which was played by Kristian Leth, was very good. He might not have been in a lot of movies, but he did the job very well. Laura Christensen wasn't too good in the beginning of the movie, but after some progress she started too become very good. The Swede, Per Oscarson, did a very good job, considering his rather small part. The one actress that really blew me away was the other Swede, Tuva Novotny, who plays Linn. She's an absolutely AMAZING actress. Which made a lot of the actors look so bad compared to her. Her character was fairly simple, but she still made her character one of the most interesting and enjoyable character. She's definitely an actress I will be looking out for. The movie itself was fairly good. It's main purpose was to be scary and that, I think, was succeded. I found myself being scared often. It's not a different scary movie, it's actually pretty much like any other scary movie, but I still think it made itself a tiny bit different in some way. I didn't become bored at all during the movie and I didn't regret spending my 2 x 7,5$ on this movie. But I most say, that Tuva Novotny's acting made the movie so much better. If she hadn't been in it, I probably wouldn't have gone in to see it for the second time.

Amazing acting
I just saw this movie yesterday and I've been wanting to see it for a long time now. I didn't have any high expectations since lots of made-for-tv movies are lame, but this movie was really good. The story line was great and extremely dark. The most brilliant part is the acting. Elisha Cuthbert is simply amazing in this movie. I haven't seen her on anything else than '24' where she also does a great job, but she is so fantastic in this movie. Also the other actors and actresses are doing a really excellent job. I've never heard anything about teenagers gambling and this movie left me thinking if this really exist and how horrible it is. The scene in the end with Blair, his wife and Katlin is so dark and deep and it's so well performed by Elisha. If one of your tv-channels are showing this movie then it's a must see. I'll give it a 9,5 out of 10...
