Continuing my movie list

6. This life +10
Finally got around to seeing this. Well, it was nice to see the characters again. Besides, Jack Davenport is always worth watching.

7. Sharpe's enemy

8. Mord i mørket (Murder in the dark)
Having read the books by Dan Turèll, I felt like watching the movie. It's okay. Most of the time Michael Falch's character spends running from the police and the organized criminals in the worst part of Copenhagen, while having absolutely no clue what's going on. And it has all the usual actors - Danish movies can get a bit odd, because it's the same small group of actors who appear in every movie, which sometimes gets ridiculous (such as Dirch Passer in Reptilicus - now that is just plain weird). Anyway

9. The nines
Never really managed to be exhiting, this one. Pretty and somewhat interesting, but not really exhiting. Besides, the idea of the-world-is-really-God-addicted-to-The-Sims, well, a bit close to the Matrix. Also, I would like to formally complain to the koalas for not sending more sunshine this way.

10. Låt den rätte komma in (Let the right one in)
And it is proven that the Swedes make better vampire movies than the Danes. This was pretty good. Sometimes creepy, sometimes morbidly funny and sometimes even cute. It's good, okay. A story about a lonely 12-year-old boy, favourite victim of the local bullies,  befriending the strange girl who moves in next door, who turns out to be a 200-year-old vampire boy.

11. Sharpe's honour

The overlapping storyline of the Nines resolves itself nicely at the end... and, although Reynolds proved himself to be a versatile actor, it was Melissa McCarthy who did a particularly great job of adding color to the whole thing.

It's not that I don't think the film was well-crafted to the point of elegance or that the actors weren't good - quite the contrary, it's a fine movie. It's just that the movie never quite managed to, I don't know, truly surprise me or draw me in.

Uhm, wasn't well-crafted. Or not. Sorry, my sentence is confusing me.
