Posted in comedy, drama with tags , , , , on 10 April, 2009 by Z!

The Art of Negative Thinking is a Norwegian film about a group of physically disabled people that are thinking positively about their lives until they meet someone mastering negative thinking. Interesting approach to a theme that still seems to be considered a taboo in Hollywood.

Varg Veum – Falne engler (2008)

Posted in crime with tags , , , on 23 October, 2008 by Z!

Probably my favourite Varg Veum movie so far. “Fallen Angels” is more intricate than any of the previous episodes and even the Norwegian Derrick himself gets involved in the crimes.

SOS Svartskjær (2008)

Posted in family with tags , , , , on 18 October, 2008 by Z!

It’s very hard to put a label on this Norwegian film as juding by the story it is supposed to be some kind of a thriller but still it comes across as a very enjoyable family movie that appeals to most generations.

Varg Veum – Kvinnen i kjøleskapet (2008)

Posted in crime with tags , , , , on 18 October, 2008 by Z!

Varg Veum is a Norwegian crime series based on Gunnar Staalesen’s novels about a private detective. The films are not connected so they are enjoyable without seeing them in the order of their release date or just on their own. “Woman in the Fridge” was shot in Bergen so the scenery is beautiful and the story is quite okay with decent acting.

Rating: 6/10
