Leonard: "How am I supposed to heal if I can't feel 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...

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.

Minus: The cut was a bit sloppy, I think. One wonders if the original cut was considered to be too long and the movie was cut down by someone who was not involved in the original production.

The only good actor in the movie was Michael Ironside, who also appeared in Total Recall and the TV series V.

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.

(But, as Kjell said, if it is a Volvo you want, you will be disappointed if you get a Saab.)

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.

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.

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.
