2019 was a pretty great year for movie goers. We had our first big 18+ success Joker, we had some great horror and of course a wide variety of genres all throughout the year. Without further ado, here are my top 5 movies I watched this year! 5: Rambo: Last Blood It probably comes as […]
The subject of isolation, horror and insanity is a hard thing to balance, but The Lighthouse manages to balance all of this in a brilliant way. There have been a few contenders of my movie of the year but this one might be the strongest of them! The Lighthouse takes place on an island in […]
While watching this I had a stark realisation. Arnold Scwarzenegger is 72 years old now and Linda Hamilton is 62 years old. It has been 27 years since Terminator 2. But the question is. Are the elders still able to kick butt? In the world of Terminator Dark Fate movie 3-6 never happened. This takes […]
Come to daddy is one heck of a father-son bonding experience! In one of Elijah Wood’s more odd roles he manages to make us laugh, cry and be a little bit scared at times. Norval gets a letter from his estranged father saking him to visit him. His father lives out in the middle of […]
Almost ten years have passed since the first Zombieland movie. As a preparation I rewatched the first one and it’s still hilarious. Are they able to hold up the hilarity almost a decade later? The story takes off years later as the gang have taken roots at the White House. Little Rock is not a […]
“When the moon hits the sky, like a big pizza pie! That’s amore”. It’s almost like the song was written for this movie alone. As a part of a Nicolas Cage Spegeln showed this fantastic comedy from the eighties! It’s a fast paced tale about love, Italian stereotypes and some over the top acting! The […]
There were times during the screening of this I considered walking out. Not because the movie was bad in any way. It was because of the emotional turmoil going on inside of me. This is one of those few movies that manages to strike a chord so hard it almost breaks in half. This is […]
Sylvester Stallone turned 73 this year, I did not notice his age in this Rambo movie! Sylvester Stallone is back in his prized role as Rambo in this action thrilled tale of revenge! It has been almost forty years since Rambo drew first blood. Both movie wise and plot wise. John Rambo is now getting […]
I had high hopes for my favorite clown. But his silly antics did not really live up to my expectations. The kid group from the previous chapter had great dynamics and fun banter. The attempt to bring that back in adult form just fell flat and here’s why! Pennywise, the horrifyingly scary clown from outer […]
With stars such as Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Steve Buscemi to name a few, this zombie comedy seemed to was a match made in a golden comedy heaven. Sadly The Dead Don’t Die misses the mark on a lot of aspects. The Dead Don’t Die is a standard zombie movie. It’s based in a […]
When I saw this I was all alone. In a theatre all by myself. Seems like this movie flied under people’s radar even though it is a flick related to Guillermo del Toro. Directed by André Øvredal that made one of my favorite films of 2016 The Autopsy Of Jane Doe I felt confident this […]
While walking into Spegeln to finally see this movie the headlines buzzed around in my head. The critics seems to love this movie. But there is a lingering fear whenever Tarantinos name is spoken. Tarantino is becoming stale, the formula is dying, this movie is just another Tarantino hashbrown of ideas. With that lingering fear […]
A movie about internet speeds and the stock market. Seems like the most action packed and epic movie of the year right? Well you are actually not that far off. It’s no Marvel movie in the action sense but there are plenty of emotions to unpack in The Hummingbird Project. The story revolves around the […]
Ah Midsommar. The wonderful day where we dance, drink and find love. Pretty flowers, pickled herring and of course ritualistic murders. It is tradition after all and where would we be without those? The director of Midsommar Ari Aster is a guy that is quickly building a brand of making off putting horror movies designed […]
As part of Spegelns celebrating space summer program they are showing quite the selection of Sci-fi movies this summer. Invasion of the body snatchers being their fantastic starting point for this event! This version of Invasion of the body snatchers is actually a remake of the original film from 1956. This particular version is directed […]
Watching a christmas movie at this time is odd. When the christmas music is also a musical that is kind of weird. But on top of all that Anna And The Apocalypse is also a zombie movie. So this is a christmas zombie musical. Yes that is a real thing and what a wonderful thing […]
Not too long ago Spegeln had a double feature zombie night which featured One Cut Of The Dead and Anna And The Apocalypse. As a heavy horror movie geek this was right up my alley. Especially since One Cut Of The Dead had its one and only Swedish Screening. The zombie genre has sadly become […]
Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been super into monster movies. One of my first movie memories is of seeing Godzilla in the nineties. That kind of bad Hollywood movie starring Matthew Broderick. Unfortunately Hollywood kept up that record of doing bad Godzilla movies. Well that was until now. Godzilla King Of The […]
It has become quite the thing to do reruns of old movies in the Swedish cinema scene. While the big cinemas go for reruns of old blockbusters Spegeln is going a different route. They are showing some of the smaller films such as one of the first David Lynch movies called The Elephant Man. The […]
Why did I get a spoon when I got here? The Room is usually described as the best worst movie ever made and there is some truth to that. The vision of Tommy Wiseau is both confusing, hilarious and odd, which makes this not just a bad movie but a bad movie phenomenon. The Room […]
