In short, two homicide detectives are sent to investigate the murder of a hip hop group. Everything is set up for some great comedy: One of them (Harrison Ford) … Continue reading

Lost in Translation

Finally watched the 2003 hit movie [Lost in Translation](http://imdb.com/title/tt0335266/) with Bill Murray last weekend. I always get a kick out of watching movies set in locations I have been to, and I fondly remember Tokyo as this giant, crazy metropolis … Continue reading

Event Horizon

Finally, here we have a movie that’s much more appropriate to Halloween. Sure, it’s a science-fiction movie but that doesn’t really change anything. Event Horizon is a splatter-shocker-horror-movie, plain and simple. Event Horizon stars Laurence Fishburne (in the role of … Continue reading

When I went to the DVD fair with Olav, I bought only one DVD: The collector’s edition of “Close Encounters”, at an amazing price of merely 10 euros. It’s the 2 DVD version, too, and tonight I finally watched the … Continue reading
