I envy you, I wish I could go back and do it for the first time, all over again
. I guess I had a similar feeling after seeing The Game, thinking it would be completely pointless to see it a second time. But I acutally enjoyed watching it again, paying extra attention to some details. For example, I enjoyed seeing Anson Baer (Armin Mueller-Stahl), wearing the same suit as Grierson in The Thirteenth Floor. Also, when Nick van Orton visits Consumer Recreation Services, for the first time, the camera deliberately pans down to emphasize the fact that their office is located on the 14th floor...

so the official message still is "don't try this at home kids, buy a video

Rating: TTT - A Simple Plan (Svea, 990717)
- Three men find a bag full of money (millons of dollars). Should they be
honest and turn it in or keep it for themselves and get a chance to escape
from their dull life in a small town?
The theme and the story is somewhat similar
to Very
Bad Things,
but whereas Very Bad Things is too hysterical (in
the typical Hollywood exaggerated acting style), reaching its peak of
intensity already after 20 minutes, leaving you a bit numb and indifferent
to what happens in the rest of the movie,
A simple plan is so slow paced in the beginning that a
narrator has been added to bring some kind of life to it. It gets better,
though, but perhaps not good enough to wake you up if you happened to fall
asleep in the beginning. In both movies there is a woman (played by
Cameron Diaz
in Very Bad Things and by
Bridget Fonda
in A simple plan)
that affects her man to do things against his better judgement.

- The opening scene, particularly the sound effects, seems to be inspired by a similar scene in The Wrong Trousers. One of the characters resembles Jabba de Hutt in the Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi.

Rating: TTTT - The Mask of Zorro (Palladium, 981029)
- Rating: TTTT
- The Horse Whisperer (Biopalatset, 980911)
- Touching, almost 3 hours long, but never boring, movie
by Robert Redford who also plays the leading part as the
"horse whisperer", a man who understands what goes on in the head of a
horse. He also understands what goes on in the heads of other people,
it turns out.
Rating: TTTTT - In & Out (Palladium, free sneak preview 980820)
- Heart warming, silly commedy, directed by
Frank Oz, who
also directed
Dirty
Rotten Scoundrels (Rivierans Guldgossar). Starring
Kevin Kline,
Tom Selleck, et al.
Not the kind of movie that leaves a lasting impresstion, though, I think.

- Göteborgs Filmfestival 1998 (980131-980206)
- Starthip Troopers (Royal, 980104)
- Directed by Paul Verhoeven, who also directed
Total Recall,
RoboCop and
Basic Instinct.
The only good actor in the movie was
Michael Ironside,
who also appeared in
Total Recall
and the TV series
V.
The remaing actors are all very young and seem to have been
hired for their good looks rather than their acting skills. The graphical
effects are good, and although the movie in large parts reminded of
pre WW-II recruitment propaganda, it had some some kind of freshness.

1997
- Tomorrow Never Dies (Palladium, 971229)
- The second movie with
Pierce Brosnan
as James Bond. Good humour and action.
Rating: TTTT - Alien: Resurrection (Biopalatset, 971215)
- Knowing that this
Alien
movie was directed by
Jean-Pierre Jeunet,
and having been told by friends that this movie was different from the
others, I could actually enjoy the movie, mostly by not taking
it so seriously and seeing the humour in everything. (But, as Kjell said,
if it is a Volvo you want, you will be disappointed if you get a Saab.)
Rating: TTT or TTTT - Contact (Biopalatset, 971121)
- Dr. Eleanor Arroway (well played by
Jodie Foster)
is a radio astronomer searching for extra terestial intelligence.
The beginning of the movie captures the atmosphere within the research
community in a good way. It touches many issues relating to research
and the possibility of contacting life on other planets:
philosophy of science, Occam's razor, religion, politics. But it seems that
these issues aren't the primary interest of the director
Robert
Zemeckis, since in some of these scenes, the actors
just seem to be reading their lines, without really understanding them.
Some other scenes, dealing with friendship, love and grief, are better.
The movie also contains some excellent visual effects.
Rating: TTTT+ - L.A. Confidential (Biopalatset, 971118)
- L.A. in the fifties. Police. Organized Crime. Who will take over?
Bribes. Drugs. The Nite Owl massacre. Gang rape.
Who is smart and who is not?
What will happen to the beautiful Lynn Bracken
(Kim Basinger)?
Rating: TTTT - Face/Off (Biopalatset, 971110)
- A movie with a somewhat incredible story, extremely violent,
exaggerated, karate movie style action scenes, that still is very exciting
and capturing. Starring John Travolta and
Nicolas Cage.
Rating: TTTTT- - Air Force One (Palladium, 971024)
- Harrison Ford spelar president och hjälte. Heja USA.
Rating: TTT+ - My best friend's wedding (Viktoria, 971017)
- Julianne Potter
(Julia
Roberts) and David (?) had a romance 9 years ago
and have since then been best friends.
They made the promise that if they on their
28th birthday hadn't found anyone else to marry, they should marry each
other. Three weeks before her 28th birthday, David calls Julianne and tells
her he is about to be married to another girl.
Julianne becomes desperate...
The sound track consists mostly of Burt Bacharach hits!
Rating: TTT++ - Shine (Svea, 971012)
- Based on the true story of the Australian pianist David Helfgott.
Rating: TTTT - The Lost World: Jurassic Park (Palladium 971002)
- Directed by Steven Speilberg. Excellent special effects.
Rating: TTT - The Fifth Element (Biopalatsen 970826).
- Starring Bruce Willis.
Directed by Luc Besson, who also did
The Big Blue and
Nikita.
Simple, humoristic, straight-forward "save the world" story with some
good guys and some bad guys. Technically very well done.
I liked the futuristic environments and the music.
Rating: TTTT - Liar Liar (Biopalatset, 970723)

Rating: TTTT - Men in Black (aka MIB) (Biopalatset, 970722)
