The Nativity Story (2006)

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[1/10 · 3 December 2006]

Who would have thought that films about Jesus could get this bad? Get lost, this film is awful. I mean what was the point? Was there even a plot. The story of Jesus is a very beautiful story, this film puts the story down. It's filled with clichés and is awfully reverent.

It is clearly made to please the Vatican and I sure hope that they are pleased...that makes one anyway and all the Christians as well I assume.

But to all of you out there who want to watch a good film: AVOID THIS ONE AT ALL COST!!!!!!! It's not possible to give this film less than one, but clearly it's a -10.

The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975)

Best animation movie ever.

[8/10 · 19 January 2005]

I first watched this movie when I was about five years old (already at that time it was old) and I've seen it many times since. It's just about the best animated movie ever, forget Finding Nemo (which is a great movie) or the Toy Story-films, this is simply sublime.

To all who haven't seen this movie: Go watch it, it's perfect. The story, the characters, the villains, the cars, the animation and just how to get the ideas behind this 'still stuns me. The only problem is that i've never seen the original version (only the danish version). However, should I ever get the chance to see the original I'll certainly not hesitate.

10 out of 10.

Lost in Translation (2003)

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

[7/10 · 14 July 2004]

Unfortunately this web-side doesn't give the opportunity to give a distinguished 11 of 10 in special cases such as this. The film Lost in Translation is the film of the year, even better than the Block-buster-success Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Why? Simply because of the way it's made. The film doesn't offer you a lot of action or thrilling moments, but what it does have is beautiful sceneries. You really see that Sofia Coppola is the daughter of the master himself Francis Ford. I think that the film, when we talk about the sceneries, is very similar with Francis' Apocalypse Now, the many views of Tokyo compared with e.g. the scenes from the trenches in Apocalypse Now, the views, the light and the sound.

Lost in Translation is a small everyday story which is still unique. The story is simple, yet very complicated. We meet our main characters and get to know them and their problems: he's in a midway crisis, she's married to a man which she really doesn't know. However, the story that lies beyond that shall remain unknown to us.
