Tin Man

Tin Man (2007)

So I (Emelie) was told by several people to watch a miniseries called Tin Man. Since I am a fan of The wizard of OZ since I was a kid and love most of the angles that other shows/books have taken of that movie. So I was intrigued by Tin Man, of course it did not hurt that Zooey Deschanel played the lead.

So Tin Man is about DG (Zooey) who is thrown into another world called, The O Z (The outer zone). There she is faced with the truth about her family. She learns that the people she thought were her parents were not; her mother is actually a queen who happens to be missing because of DG’s sister…Azkadellia, the wicked witch.

The show which is in 3 parts is about DG’s struggled to find her mother and to stop her sister from killing her. However as she gets more and more flashbacks of her life in OZ as a kid she is starting to reveal the truth…

At first glance I was not too sure but the more I watched the more I liked and at the end of part 2 I was hooked. The twists are great and even though some of the acting is pretty bad Zooey and Kathleen Robertson (Azkadellia) make up for it. Kathleen was definitely my favorite through the series; I loved how they put so much humanity into her character even if she was mean to be the evil one.

If you’re a fan of The wizard of OZ then I would recommend this, don’t expect too much but it’s a fun show.

I would give it a 6.5/10

The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior

Okey first of. I (Elin) can't even believe they made a sequel to the first Scorpion King movie. I mean it had potential but did not quite cut it. And if I say that the first Scorpion King where like 100 times better than this one you will get the idea over how bad it was.

It is about Mathayus who is played by the overrated, not so talented and definetly not hot Michael Copon.
Well we get to follow Mathayus from they day that he gets recruited to the Scorpion Warriors. His father gets murderd and all he thinks about is revenge. And when he Finally understand who was the guilty one he starts his quest to defet and kill the murder.

The movie was so bad that I almost turned it off. But If I would have done that I could not warn you about it. Sure I had this deep hope for something good to happend. I waited and waited but nothing happend. So you can imagine my feelings. I could not even go to sleep afterwards so I had to watch a Pushing Daisies episode (Emelie will be so proud of me) to try delete the image of Mathayus fighting, trying to look sexy and kiss the only good thing in the movie.
The good thing in the movie was this girl who didn't take crap from men... but that's basically it.

DO NOT WATCH THIS... if you are not very very tired and desperate for a boring and horrible movie.
I'll give it a 2/10. I first even thought that it was Uwe Boll who had written it (since he has written everyone of the movies I hate more than snakes)... My brother on the other hand found this movie very good (only cos he thought it where hot women in it) and they killed people.

Two Weeks

Two Weeks (2006)
I know we said no movie reviews but I (Emelie) am sick and cranky so my mum let me rent some movies. I watched Two weeks today and knew I had to write a review about it.

Its about a woman (Sally Fields) who after struggling with cancer is close to dying. Her four children all come together to spend the last two weeks of her life with her and make sure she is as comfortable as possible.
Great movie choice when sick you say? Well Clea DuVall's name was on the cover xD
Its actually a really great movie even if Clea has very few scenes....and played a bitch but you won't hear complain about that. Not to mention her hair...I have never seen her look as good as in this movie. She played the wife of one of the siblings and as always her acting was perfection.
The only women of the four siblings was named Emily and was played by Julianne Nicholson, brilliant actress if you have never seen her before. She was really the one holding the movie together along with Sally and Thomas Cavanagh.

Its a sappy but hillarious movie. I was planing on keeping my latop with me while watching but I was sucked in and hardly even movied for 94 minutes. I would recomend this movie even if you normaly don't go for drama or comedy movies. I'm a horror or thriller girl and I might even buy this on DVD some day.

All together I give this movie a strong 8.5/10

Maybe it was awesome because I am on cough medicine and have a fever but hey, whatever gets you through the day, right?

An update on our lives

Sorry, no movie reviews today but you do get an update on our lives.

I (Emelie) am home with my mum, I managed to be here for 2 short hours before I met my Godfather and he gave a Christmas present...the worst cold I have ever had. It’s been a week and it’s getting worse every day. Not fun at all. So I don't do much, though I do enjoy our fast internet here *hugs internet* and I moved all my stuff to my dad’s because my mum sold our apartment. All nice things to do when sick...

Elin is home in her barn, trying not to kill her parents and cursing her slow internet *kicks Elin’s internet and tries to give her some of mine*.

I'm supposed to go and see her on Tuesday, so we're both hoping for a miracle that I will actually get better. If not then I have to re-book my ticket and try to keep Helene company in school until Elin and her new haircut comes to play with us.

So in short words, Emelie is sick and miserable, Elin is bored and miserable...hopefully we will meet again in 2 days or a week.

- That’s all for now, *cough, couch* we miss you all very much *sneeze sneeze* we have some serious movie list to catch up on when we get back to school.

Helene Walking on Sunshine

For you all who do not know who Helene is we have decided to show you. We where really high on candy yesterday and this was one of the slower moments that evening.
Helene is trying on Elins shoes (submarine size ;P) and starts to dance... Elin sings (yet false but not really trying that much) Walking on sunshine by kathrina and the waves!

Scared yet?

Farm Sluts and Scary School moments

As you all know Farm Sluts are funny... Oh really you didn't know? TO BAD FOR YOU...
hehe.
well first we are gonna start reviewing our Christmas School students' farce/Spex.
It started off with the school rock band playing a couple of songs! Elin of course being the best drummer in the world... only did 3 misstakes, everyone where amazed, facinated and though Elin still rocked like a star on weels. Since no one but a few selected new that Elin where the drummer, singer and pure awesomness even our teacher where suprised since she thinks Elin is all strange and funny.
Then all the other classes did some scetshes and we just have to say... OUR CLASS SUCKS!!! that's why Elin got massage from Helene who manage the sound and Emelie played with the lighteningswitch and told Helene (aka HKF) to turn up and down the volyme... the best part of the whole thing though where the art students movie... We laughed our butts offwhile our panties danced the twist.
Okey maybe not... Elin has taken some crack before she wrote this.... or was it overdose of liqorise... Maybe she has eaten to much candy as our friend Kajsa did... she run around in a cirkle. Around, Around, Around, Around.... AND she played basketball with a ping-pong boll.
Well no over to you guys ELF, HKF, AEA and Farm Sluts.

Farm Sluts (2003) is not a porno movie... We promise. It's about this guy who at work get a spam email about animal porn and when everyone sees this he gets fired... And It does not get any better. When he gets home he accedently kills his dog, looses his girlfriend and apartment.
Then he becomes very depressed and starts to try taking his live... all though it does not go so well. Either he gets interupted, fails or miss calculated the attemts.
We loved this movie, mostly since it's Title and that Elizabeth Keener is in it... not looking like her self! but still Hot.
I do not think I told you guys that it's a short film... and we did even leave out like half the story.
But since it's a short film it was availeble on youtube so here you can watch it since we decided to put it upp here.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425013/

We give the movie a 8.5/10 and Helene (who is our guest reviewer today) gives it a 8/10...

Here we Go.... no not the Girls Aloud song...

Red Doors

Red Doors (2005)

Is about a a bizarrely dysfunctional Chinese-American family. The father has just retired from his work and now suffers a depression. The youngest daughter have a sick and twisted game with the boy next door.
The Middle daughter is a medical student studying to become a doctor. But when a moviestar comes to the hospital she falls in love.
The eldest daughter is just weeks away from getting married with a man she is not really in love with.
But when the dad after a series of suicide attempts disappear they start to rethink there life and try to find there path.

I found this movie refreshingly new and nice. I really liked that they mixed the romance and serious with a splash of humor.
I also love when they mix cultures in movies, and this is no exception. It was really nicely told and really good acting.
Not even the lesbian plot where badly made. I thought it was very believable. It is not often that happens in a movie with so much other stuff around. But in this one they managed.

I would have to give this movie a 8/10 for its nicely written and told story. For not being cliche and most importantly really making me smile unconsciously.

an extra plus for the awesome cover:)

Tideland

Tideland (2005)

This movie is about a monster shark (a train), morbid things and dead people being stuffed like animals... not morbid at all.
We get to follow Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland) whose mother dies and whose father decides to flee and take her to her grandmother’s house. There her dad OD and sits in a chair during most of the movie since Jeliza-Rose don't realize he is dead.
She play with her decapitated doll heads when she first meets Dell, a crazy woman who likes to seduce young men and stuff animals and people. Jeliza-Rose believe they are best friends after they have exchanged like two sentences.
Then there is Dells brother Dickens who is mentally challenged who does not have all the horses in the stable, he is not the sharpest knife in the knife box, his elevator does not go to the top floor... you get the idea.
Dickens and Jeliza-Rose becomes friends, girlfriend/boyfriend and eventually both hated by Dell. The sickest thing in this movie (there is ALOT) is the relationship between Dickens and Jeliza-Rose... Since Jeliza-Rose is like 11 and Dickens is Much older since he had an affair with Jeliza-Roses grandmother before she died. But then Dickens where ALOT younger than the grandmother.

We agree this is a sick and twisted movie... but the acting is extraordinary and there is no plot. It's all about sick and twisted things so we give it a 6/10... it would have been better if it had a plot, story, meaning... SOMETHING.
Jodelle Ferland is just pure wonderful and believable as Jeliza-Rose.. I mean which 11 year old girl gets to make the heroin cocktails to her dad, sleep in her dead fathers lap, make out with a older man and a doll... head?
We just sat there had where like "WHAT THE FUCK" but the we realized it was just a movie. So now we are both enchanted by her acting... so expect more movie reviews from movies with her in them...

The Hole

The Hole (2001)

One misty morning, Liz Dunn (Thora Birch) stumbles down the road to her school and screams for help. A police psychologist gets her to reveal her story: A month earlier: three rebellious teenagers - Mike (Desmond Harris), Frankie (Keira Knightley) and Geoff (Laurence Fox) are trying to ditch the school field trip to Wales. The school nerd Martin (Daniel Brocklebank) helps them out by allowing them to stay in an old war bunker for the three days on the condition that his friend Liz joins them. The teens go down, party and have great fun but Martin doesn't return to let them out and they hope and pray that someone will find them...

We watched this yesterday, party because Elin was sure Laura Harris was also in it but even without her it was a great movie. Some good twists and good acting (mostly). Keira Knightly really brings it on and her role is lovable even if she is not supposed to be. I mean who brings a blow-up sofa into a bunker? Did I mention it's pink? Well it is...

We give this movie a 7/10,

SuicideGirls: The First Tour

SuicideGirls: The First Tour (2005)

Is a documentary where we follow a group of SuicideGirls who tour the USA with there burlesque shows in 2004...
For you who do not know what SuicideGirls is I can say this much... It is not about girls killing themselves.
SuicideGirls is a internet page where women can express themselves and not feel ashamed of what they are or how they look. Some girls put up photo sessions on themselves, often with a Pin-up motive. For more information go to: http://suicidegirls.com/ .

Anyways we get to follow them on their journey through USA and so on. The documentary is divided so that we get to follow one SuicideGirl at a time. Hear there thoughts, see one of there numbers and a photo session...
The film is so twisted... but in a good way. The people in it are so colorful and it is hard not to laugh with them and so on. They have no limits. They do whatever they feel like, say what they thing and just... just... being wonderful.

Emelie gives this movie a 6/10 and Elin gives it a 7/10 (since she is the one who is hooked on SuicideGirls)...
