The Fox and the Hound

The Fox and the Hound (1981)

This movie is about a Fox (Todd) and a Hound (Copper) who becomes friends agains all odds. But eventually they grow up and becomes eachothers enemies.
The first half of the movie we just smiled, then the old lady who has rasied Todd drow him into the forest (at which point Elin left the room to get some Julmust so she would not show that she was crying). Emelie on the other hand jumped more and higher during this movie than she does during anything else.

The movie has very much similaritys to our life here at the school. Vixey (Todds girlfriend) is incredibly alike our friend Helene and Todd has very much similaritys with our teacher Gudrun. And it does not help that Helene dreamt that she gave Gudrun bitch slaps and that Gudrun in real life have a tendensy of tuching everything that is alive.
Boomer and Dinky are Elin and Emelie in a nutshell... while Big Mama is our friend Linda who keeps us in line.
Copper is Elins next door neighbour that was nice in the beginning but started chasing us around the house and just makes a lot of noice as Copper did.

We give this movie a 8/10...

- sniff sniff, cry, cry, this is just some dripping *pip*and now it is time for Elin to die (according to Emelies friend after Elin dissed Idina Menzel)

The Dark

The Dark (2005)

Is about when the daughter to James and Adéle drowns they the day after gets a visit from a young girl, Ebrill, who supposedly died 60 years ago. And the way she died has some resemblance to Sarah (the daughter). Adéle who can not except the fact that her daughter is dead starts to dig around in Ebrills past to find out how it comes that she is alive and Sarah is not.
It is the start to a journey who will change all there lifes.

The movie has a great story, beautiful nature and an interesting topic.
It is based on folk lore from Wales about Annwyn and so on. Annwyn is the place you come to when you die.
It has all the ingredients that is needed for a good thriller drama to work. A dead girl, flashbacks to a different time, legends and sects who commit suicide.

The girl who plays Ebrill (Abigail Stone) did really freak me out though... but that was the point. I just could not believe that The Dark is the only movie she has done. I mean she acted better than Maria Bello who played Adéle. And the girl who played Sarah (Sophie Stuckey) did also an awesome performance.
It just blew me away. I got chills... that is how good they were.
The movie was also beautifully shot with nice contrasts and angles. I really liked the 'dark' and 'water' scenes they did. Really Beautiful.

We give this movie a 7/10

The Fine Art of Love: Mine Ha-Ha

The Fine Art of Love: Mine Ha-Ha (2005)

Is a movie that I had some problems getting a grip on. Sure it was good but it could have been so much better.

The story is about a girls collage in the early 20th century in Germany. All the girls who goes to the school has grown up there, some before they even could walk or talk. They are being drilled to be ballet dancers and lives a very sheltered and strict life. They have not been of the grounds of the school since they first came there, there own world.
But when some starts to question why hand how they ended up at the school things start to happened.
The main character is Hidalla and her friend/girlfriend Irene who is in the middle of all the stuff that is going on. There close relationship is getting tested by the conditions.

I honestly though the story where a bit fussy, that is why the summon up of the story might be a bit hard to understand.
As I said the movie where good but could have been A Lot better if it would have been more precise on what it wanted.
All the acting is good and believable as for the environment and so on. It was all good but the fussy story line.

I'll give it a 6/10, but it could have gotten a 7 or 8 if only for some small changes and so on.

One thing I liked where that they did not do the relationship between the girls sleazy or so. It where more focused on the things around them and how that effected them and there actions.

- Elin, tired and now I'm going to bed... long day tomorrow with movies and pizza.

Enchanted

Enchanted (2007) is a movie about a very cute chipmunk and a princess named Giselle (Amy Adams). Giselle starts out as a catrooned disney princess on her way to marry the handsome prince. This plan is disturbed by his mother, she being a wicked witch sends Giselle away to the 'real world'. There Giselle wanders the streets of New York all alone, confused and scared. There she meets a man (Patrick Dempsy, with that bad hair and horrible acting) and his young daughter. They take her in and discover that she is a real princess. After the rats clean and Giselle sings a tune we meet Dempsey's girlfriend, the up tight Nancy (Idina Menzel who Emelie loves and Elin thinks looks like a man in profile, lets throw stones at Elin).
Our favorite character is named Pip, he is a chipmunk, adorable and a bit of a goofball. Alot like Elin.

This a fun and cute disney story, even though Elin thought it had been better if the whole movie had been animated and if Patrik had been killed.

Elin gives this a 6.5/10, had gotten a 9 if it had been fully animated
Emelie gives this a 8/10

Rock - A - Doodle

Rock - A - Doodle (1991) is a movie Elin has been talking about for months and months but did not know the name. Of course no one could help her since they all are a bit slow... haha na not really! but Elin started to begin to think she had dreamt it but then she talked to her brother who also recognize the plot so she was not crazy... well not more crazy than usual.

The story is about a rooster called Chanticleer who after a fight believes that he can no longer rise the sun. So he left his farm depressed, hurt and ashamed to go work in the big city.
Edmond, a little boy who gets turned to a cat when a big owl called Grand Duke cast a spell over him. It is also Grand Dukes fault that Chanticleer left the farm and the consequence of him leaving where nonstop rain and no sun. So Edmond meets up with some animals from the farm who is going to the city to find him.

There is this character called Goldie whose voice we thought we recognized and in the after text Emelie goes like this... "Oh OH OOOOH, it is her from Pushing Daisies you know the one without the eye... patch." then I was like "AAh fuck awesome... I first though it was Jennifer Tilly (scary thought)".
Did we mention it is a cartoon movie? no? well It is.

Emelie gives this one a 6.5/10 and Elin gives it a 8/10 since it was her favorite movie when she was younger... A bit nostalgi.

-Of for some food and Emelie is so hungry she's chewing her 'snodd' to her mobile

The Trailer!

Strictly Sexual

Strictly Sexual (2008), is a movie about sex, sex with benefits and sex with vibrators.
Donna (Amber Benson) and Christi Ann (Kirsten Kerr) are two young wealthy women who lives in Laurel Canyon. Since Donna has some weird fantasies in bed they decide to get gigolos.
So they go to a bar where they pick up the first two men that's good looking and prostitutes... at least that's what they think.
But when the truth reviles the men gets kicked out of the house faster than you can say Boo. Yet Christi Ann who has absolutely no good experience in sex decides to let the two boys move in to their pool house for certain playtimes. Christi Ann gets a sex life while Donna gets to play dirty school girl.
But when they start to falling in love things get complicated.

We know this movie sounds like a porno but it's not... well not only anyway. You don't see anything naked even though they have sex half the movie.... We were pretty surprised by that.
The best parts though where 1. Amber where not playing her typical role, she where the mentally unstable, sexually frustrated, rich parents, writer girl. 2. Kristen Kerr is pretty much an identical copy of Olivia Wilde... we did not complain. Drawling *wink*

we give this movie a 6/10, would have gotten more if it was a good plot and better looking guys. The Girls where The movie.

Miss Conception

Miss Conception (2008) is a movie where we follow Georgina Salt (Heather Graham), a successful woman in her mid 30s. When she finds out that she only have a month getting pregnant before it's to late the journey of her life begins.
Georgina and her best friend Clem (Mia Kirshner) start to hunt down men so they can take there sperm... It's funny and witty... parts of it anyway.
Both Kirshner and Graham are doing great performances, yet that do not hold up the movie. I really can not put the finger on why. The acting is great, the storyline is not crap and there is some funny moments.

The only think I can think of is that seeing Graham on this desperate hunt I kinda feel the need of slapping her, even though it's perfectly understandable. She has a guy who she love but yet she do not believe that is enough.
Well at least Kirshner has some nice moments. She has the funny lines, a british accent whom I find very nice... even though I first laughed out loud when I heard it since I was not prepared of it.
One other think I found quite funny was that Graham now have done two romantic comedies and in both there is one person from The L-Word in it... NICE

I'll give this movie a 5/10 - and three of those are for Mia Kirshner.
