84. Being Human season 1.
Crappy werewolf special effects, but fun series. Especially Mitchell.
85. The Wire season 2.
I wonder if there is such a thing as Omar/McNulty slash...
86. Doctor Who season 3.
Yes, I know, I'm way behind everybody else. Martha Jones kicks ass. The Doctor, on the other hand - I am coming to the conclusion that I really don't like Ten. Oh, he'll babble and enthuse and act nice and charming, but then he turns around and does some really shitty things. Like what he did to Jack. So, Jack has become a fixed point in time and he doesn't want to keep him around, so what? He couldn't even give the guy a lift to someplace not an empty spacestation? Maybe the regeneration required his immediate attention, but he couldn't stop by afterwards? But no, I have a theory about that - you see, Ten is all about Rose. And Rose might have had plenty of flaws, but she liked Jack, and if she had seen Ten kicking him off the Tardis - so he didn't. He just lied to her.
87. Forever young
Didn't even do the Fish out of temporal water trope particularly well. Also, why do the actually run from the military? What cause do they have? Or is it just because you always run from the military in movies?
88. The Incredible Hulk
Sorry to say, but the Hulk - I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that this particular Marvel character shouldn't be on the screen outside of animated movies. Big and green just looks kind of - not that good, really. Sorry.
89. Mørklægning
It's too bad that the acting is mostly wooden and the movie dull, because the story - a murder investigation during the Occupation, with most of the police getting sent to Germany halfway through and our hero having to hide while not being able to let the case go - that story actually has potential. Alas...
90. Blood and Chocolate
So, basically, Romeo and Juliet with a furcoat? You know what annoys me with werewolf stories? When they degenerate into pack mentality and alphas getting first pick of the pretty young bitches and social mores like something out of the stone ages. This movie at least has the werewolves be some form of independent and insular species, but that doesn't change, that I keep waiting for decent urban fantasy with werewolves that have instincts and traditions, but also have their human side going "dammit, it's the 21st century and I am citizen of a democratic country, I am not going to go bite some guy just because the guy who happens to turn into a somewhat bigger wolf than me tells me to". Apart from that, I spent part of this movie wondering about the viability of an interpretation along the lines of werewolf as immigrant from Middleeastern country...
91. District 9
Gorgeous and pretty good in oh so many ways, but afterwards, when you think about it a little, it works better as allegory than science fiction. There's simply too many loose ends - why aren't the big nations getting involved, why haven't anybody bribed some prawns with catfood to become mercenaries, why... But it's still awesome, even if the main character is a jerk, mildly put.
92. Der Amerikanische Freund
I've been having fun, watching all these different versions of Ripley - how many different ways people have interpreted him. Dennis Hopper's cowboy developing a morality is not Matt Damon's oh-so-gay-for-Jack-Dav is not suave John Malkovich is not Barry Pepper's smooth young monster with perfect smooth young monster wife. Mind you, I'm still waiting for a movie of "The boy who followed Ripley" - come on, I want Ripley in a dress, dammit. :-)
93. Flashdance
Nice music and feels like the girl was auditioning for Fame, kind of... but I suspect, that the classics should be seen in your formative years, not as a jaded individual in your 20's...
94. Vampyrer
Maybe not a masterpiece, but entertaining enough - someone ought to use it to hit the Danish movie establishment over the head and say, "see, you don't need huge special effects budgets to do fantastic genres". Although I wonder why there are so many Swedish vampire movies - well, I say many and mean that I know of three, but if the Swedish movie industry resembles the Danish...
