Movie meter: Inception (2010)
in MoviesA group of dream thiefs infiltrate the dreams of others to extract valuable information. The concept of dreams is an abstract one and the movie does a good job at portraying this. Leonardo DiCaprio, working together with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Ellen Page, and Cillian Murphy, play an interesting bunch of characters. In the movie…

Movie meter: Watchmen (2009)
in MoviesA group of ‘super’heroes on the brink of extinction in the Cold War joins forces again to try and stop it. The movie is explicit and sometimes rather psychedelic.

Movie meter: Race for glory: Audi vs Lancia (2024)
in MoviesThe story of Lancia battling the mighty Audi in the Rally World Cup, back in the 80s. One car lovers will enjoy lots. I must say there was too much focus on one person, making it feel like only they felt like what was at stake. Random scenes with no follow-up, while other scenes were…

Movie meter: Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
in MoviesThe world is in danger again when the very Jaeger robots used to save the world are corrupted by the Kaiju themselves. The movie had some great action scenes, which distracted from some of the overdone humor and fast-paced dialogue. Sometimes it felt like the makers of the movie wanted to keep the action going,…
