It is the time of the Crusades during the Middle Ages – the world shaping 200-year collision between Europe and the East. A blacksmith named Balian has lost his family and nearly his faith. The religious wars raging in the far-off Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense drama. Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he falls in love, grows into a leader, and ultimately uses all his courage and skill to defend the city against staggering odds. Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form of a great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin, a Crusader briefly home to France from fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian’s father, Godfrey shows him the true meaning of knighthood and takes him on a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City. In Jerusalem at that moment–between the Second and Third Crusades–a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias, and the military restraint of the legendary Muslim leader Saladin. But Baldwin’s days are numbered, and strains of fanaticism, greed, and jealousy among the Crusaders threaten to shatter the truce. King Baldwin’s vision of peace–a kingdom of heaven–is shared by a handful of knights, including Godfrey of Ibelin, who swear to uphold it with their lives and honor. As Godfrey passes his sword to his son, he also passes on that sacred oath: to protect the helpless, safeguard the peace, and work toward harmony between religions and cultures, so that a kingdom of heaven can flourish on earth. Balian takes the sword and steps into history.

Ahhhh, ytterliggare en Ridley Scott film 🙂 Man kanske skulle fortsätta med ännu en imorgon. Får nog inte Tea att se Alien, men kanske kan få henne att titta på Blade Runner. Hmmm, när man nämner han gamla filmer känns denna lite blek. Men den var inte alls dum. Första timmen gick jättefort. Sedan gick det lite segare. Men vilket foto! Inte lika bra musik som i Gladiator. Tror det kan bero på sämre skådisar och inte lika bra musik.

Having given permission to male nurse Greg Focker to marry his daughter, ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes and his wife travel to Miami to Greg’s parents, who this time around are Mr. and Mrs. Focker, who are as different from them as can be. As asked in the first movie, what sort of people name their son Gaylord M. Focker?

Ja, denna kanske var snäppet bättre än 1:an. Eller kanske är det dött lopp. 1:an var faktiskt mera rolig. Men var även grymt mycket dåligare tack vara alla dåliga skämt. I denna är skämten på en bättre nivå och mera nertonade.

Six months after the incidents involving the lethal videotape, new clues prove that there is a new evil lurking in the darkness.

*suck* varför ska dom alltid göra en tvåa? Och varför i detta läget? Inte ens Ringu 2 var speciellt bra. Varför då göra en amerikansk remake på en dålig film? De enda gångerna filmen är bra är då Samara är med. Filmen är jätte seg i början och det känns som det bara är andra halvan som har någon behållning. Dom hade säkert kunnat klippa ner filmen med 30%.

A successful FBI profiler, Illeana Scott (Jolie), is summoned to help out Canadian law enforcement in Montreal, to hunt down a serial killer who assumes the lives and identities (hence the title) of the people he kills as he travels across North America, which forces Illeana to adjust to working in a strange city with a police team with which she doesn’t really fit in.

Ohhh, vilken början. Fick gåshud. Men vad hände sedan? Gåshuden försvann ganska snabbt då filmens titelintro började rullade. Någon som sett Se7en kanske? Sedan kändes det mest som om filmen gick utför, den som började så bra. Hade hoppats på se Angelina i en superroll, men jag får väl fortsätta vänta på den filmen.
Filmen var alldeles för förutsägbar. Vem som var mördaren gissade jag nästan redan vid titelintrot och slutet på filmen var nite heller svårt att lista ut.
När ska det komma en film med samma häftiga grunskoncept som håller hela vägen?

When Dallas FBI Agent Thomas Mackelway violates serial killer Raymond Starkey’s civil rights during an unorthodox arrest, Starkey goes free and Mackelway is demoted to a remote branch of the agency in Albuquerque. His first day on the job, Mackelway investigates the murder of a traveling salesman Harold Speck, which turns out to be the first of three seemingly random killings. Or perhaps they are not random at all; the last to die is Mackelway’s nemesis, Raymond Starkey. The assignment consumes him. His past mistakes haunt him. His head throbs constantly as he tries to find the link between the victims that will lead him to their killer. The case becomes increasingly gruesome and patently personal. This does not go unnoticed by his unflappable partner Fran Kulok, who knows of Mackelway’s past and the demons that afflict him. Like Mackelway, she becomes drawn into the labyrinth of chilling clues, all of which point to the enigmatic Benjamin O’Ryan. O’Ryan clearly has a connection to the murders, a connection he flaunts; quite possibly, he may also harbor a sinister link to Mackelway.

Trodde den skulle vara bättre. Det är farligt att hoppas för mycket om en film. Man blir oftast besviken. Intressant koncept. Men man blev aldrig riktig meddragen i filmen, tycker inte den berörde mig.
Men den är ändå ganska sevärd. Speciellt om man är intresserad av seriemördarfilmer.
