Okay, quiet an interesting movie. It has a simple topic; some American teens wanting to experience Europe, quiet normal if you like to travel or you are some sort of interested in different cultures.
They get an extraordinary experience when they arrive in Ukraine, they can see a ghost town and just a ghost town but a radioactive one, they can experience nothing less but Chernobyl! or a town nearby but that's just as good ;)
Would you had said yes if a travel guide was with you and he promised you it would be save?
I'm not 100% sure what my answer would be, but these youngsters they chose to follow him into the mysterious adventure. They see a left town, empty... No children are laughing, no people are yelling, shouting, hurrying and no cars are driving, it is all silent!
They take pictures and makes sure that they will remember this for the rest of their lives... When you are young you feel kinda immortal, right?
Okay, maybe I would have said yes after all since I have seen a ghost town from the outside when I was kid, it was in Cyprus before it became a member of the EU and yet here I am, still alive... But of course it was not a radioactive area.. like this, where animals has taken over and now only the strongest will survive, or 'survival of the fittest' as Darwin used to say.
I still don't understand the bear though... this film could had been cool without.
I don't understand why this film is so low rated on Netflix, of course it is a weird film and not quiet perfect, but still very interesting. I like the parts where it gets dark and they are stuck in there to next morning and what to do when you are surrounded by angry dogs who are high radioactive?
Well, you wait for them to be gone.
And then your travel guide disappears and then what do you do? you will try to find him and then get away.. but what if something follows you?
Let's take a look to see how realistic this film is, They swim in a radioactive river... I cannot recommend doing that since all the water around Chernobyl are deadly, and you do not eat the fish you catch their. And if you saw the fish you wouldn't want to eat them. So that part is not possible at all. Next part when they actually end inside the core of the abandoned power plant and I have to say you do not live for long in there and you have no time to be a drama queen... that's for sure. So that is, even though you see weird human kinda things, this is more unrealistic, because who says that you cannot create some sort of human being who can live under these circumstances?
This is kind of a mix between 'Wrong turn' and 'The hills have eyes'.
Well, I think you should take your time to watch this film if you are interested in weird phenomena. So how do I understand the end? I'm no expert though but I think these creatures where made by mad scientists since they have a room full of them.
Watch it, it is worth it and maybe you can figure out the bear?

'Mandela - long walk to freedom' - the film
A great story of one of the most inspiring people in the fight for human rights and equalities.
A beloved man with a good heart on the outside and even his dark sides are seen as well.
He is full of dignity and even though he is angry and kinda mentally abused.
This film is worth watching even though it is long and not full of action (a film doesn't need a lot of action to be good).
I was very fascinated of Mandela's way of seeing his fight for human rights, he wanted it without blood! That's a thing no one can ever take away from him, he wanted a peaceful revolution and well it is a bit a shame he didn't get what he wanted since it turned out really bloody and violent. But what did the government expect? If you take a big bunch of people and take away all their rights including votes and then includes a 'heartbreak law', so that whites and 'non-whites' cannot be married, how can you not expect these people to protest and turn out violent? I don't believe in violence, but I sill understand their frustrations. This actor who plays Mandela is really good at imitating his voice and difficult accent. Now I'm so used to many sorts of English so I understood what he said, but a lot of non English people prefers subtitles on this film, even a girl from my class who has lived in Cape Town.
I can really recommend everyone to watch this film, but if you have no interest in big historical moments, then this is a very long film. But why not give it a chance and try to watch this to become multicultural and learn something very important? Apartheid is not the way. As Mandela said when he was released from prison: 'Apartheid has no future', and he was right. I just can't believe I was 2 month old before it ended...
I think this movie is a great way to honor on of the biggest men in modern history, he needs to be celebrated and remembered by us, the next generations and to the end of the world.
Keep it in mind.

'Woman in gold'
It's no secret that I love historical movies and this one was no exception. Helen Mirren is doing a great job as Ms. Altmann and I like they speak German in this film. I even thought they spoke well Austrian-Germany even though I'm no expert in German dialects then I have been to both Germany and Austria and they speak softer in Austria.
Ok, this film is another story about the dark side of the European history including the discrimination of Jews during the Second World War. This artistic painting by Gustav Klimt is stolen by the Nazis and later this stubborn old lady wants her painting back. It's all about justice and compensating from the horror these people faced in Hitler's regime.
This film also shows how Jews were humiliated and put down to a low level even though a lot of them were very rich.
If you like me like historical films, then I can only recommend to watch this film.
When I come to New York some day I will sure see this painting in real life :)
Okay, have great day!

'The boy in the striped pajamas' - the film
What an amazing film with really good actors. The film is not a disappointment not even after reading the book. The only thing to point fingers at is the language.. Why are they speaking English when this is supposed to be a German family living in Poland? Big mistake, it kinda destroys the picture it is trying to make upon Nazi Germany.
But this film is amazing and cruel at the same time. How do you tell a child what's going on and that Jews aren't real people when this little innocent child can't see any differences between Jews and the other people. And can you love your family unconditionally? Even though your father is doing things that are hard to accept would you still be able to love him? Bruno's mother has cold feet and doesn't want this separation of people and her reaction when she finds out the Jews are getting killed in this concentration camp shows that not everyone were convinced about how to treat those Hitler didn't like. It wasn't only Jews but simply just every non-arians, homosexuals and the ones who tried to be against him. And what about Gretel? Will she ever rip her Hitler posters down and burn them or will she cry when he shoots himself and will she continue his legacy? Most answers would be no, since Germany already after the SWW tried to avoid what had happened and they tried to burn the camps down to hide their tracks. New Nazism was illegal afterwards and it is a big tabu to just to and be sceptic towards another race or culture (I have seen a lot of examples in the past couple of months during this refugee debate).
The chamber scene in the end is very intense and you feel a kind of empathy you don't really understand yourself. Maybe because you can't imagine in anyway what it must feel like to be locked up like that, having tasted away your freedom, life and even name.. you are just a number, how cruel is that?
Enjoy your freedom!

'Thriller live'
What a great show I watched this show back in 2011 and back then it was a different theme. This year it was focusing a lot on HIStory, I guess it's because of HIStory's 20th anniversary (:
My mother was sceptic about this, she thought she would get bored, but she really enjoyed the show, she even asked when they would be back in Denmark, haha xD
I had a better spot this time than last time and I thought it was really cool to see the actors' face expressions. It some really cool actors and the dancers are amazing. My mother really got the MJ spirit ;)
The costumes were gold and the dances and performances were inspired by the HIStory tour. When the MJ impersonator said his magic frase 'You know you want me', oh dear it was nostalgic :D
I can really recommend this show to MJ fans all over the world, it is a cool experience now that Michael is gone and can't entertain us anymore. It's just a shame that you are not allowed to film or take pictures in there, I took some picture before the show started though (:
I was about to propose to one of the actors, he could really sing! Oh Lord ^^
All I wanna say is, if you are a fan or you just want to watch a cool show, then you won't regret watching this. It is an awesome tribute to the King Of Pop.
Have fun and take care (:
