Alpha and Omega
19th April 2011 - "Alpha and Omega" provides decent entertainment, but is by no means innovative.
I am Number Four
19th April 2011 - Fantasy is a popular genre nowadays, and this film clearly aims to be the starting point a new science fiction saga. The result isn’t hopeless; though, the film is unoriginal and easily forgettable.

Scream 4
18th April 2011 - Everybody’s a suspect. Anyone can be the next victim. These are the rules that apply in ”Scream 4”, a film that offers decent horror entertainment; still, it’s nowhere near as good as the classic first film. This film is not suitable for anyone under the age of 15.

Easy A

Due Date
4th January 2011 - When two very different individuals travel across the US, problems arise as they crash cars, break laws, quarrel and, gradually, become friends. This comedy is quite inappropriate for children, and so-so in terms of quality.
Tron: Legacy
17th December 2010 - Sam Flynn is pulled into a digital world, meets his long lost father and finds himself in the middle of a merciless battle. This high-tech adventure is visually stunning; however, the story seems uninspired.
Fair Game
6th December 2010 - In this well-made drama, we get an insight into how powerful forces in American politics manipulated the truth in order to justify the invasion of Iraq, and how this affected single individuals. The film is based on a true story, and comes highly recommended.

18th November 2010 - The first part in the final instalment of the Harry Potter saga is an exciting and well-made film. This autumn’s highly anticipated cinema release builds up to a whopping finale next summer.
Jackass 3D
18th November 2010 - The Jackass concept, where a bunch of ‘never-grown-ups’ try to bend or break all limits, is starting to wear thin. The film has an 18 year age limit, and should not be watched by young people.

Legend of the Guardians - The Owls of Ga'Hoole
14th October 2010 - This animation film has incredible graphics and amazing detail. However, the construction of the story would have benefited from the same attention.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
30th September 2010 - Scott Pilgrim has to defeat seven evil ex-boyfriends in order to win his dream girl. The film’s universe is a mix of film and video games, and will probably appeal to many video game enthusiasts. However, it’s not really a film for children under the age of 15.
The Last Airbender
23rd September 2010 - It’s not easy being a young boy with exceptional skills who also has a responsibility to restore peace in the world. Apparently, it’s not easy making it into a good film either.
Toy Story 3

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
5th July 2010 - The third film in the immensely popular saga offers drama, suspense and, not least, romance as the story of Bella and her relationship with vampire Edward and werewolf Jake continues. This is a well-made film that will please the fans.
Robin Hood
28th May 2010 - The story of how the legend of Robin Hood was born is an extremely well made, entertaining and intelligent action film, but it lacks that little extra it takes to become a true classic.
The Runaways
28th May 2010 - The rebel queens of the legendary girl band “The Runaways” become rock stars as 15-year-olds with all that entails of ups and downs. This is a fresh drama with lots of good music, but as a biography the film lacks depth.

28th May 2010 - The heroic prince Dastan must save the Persian Empire in this fast-paced, but oh so ordinary action-adventure, suitable for children from 12 years and older.
The Last Song
27th May 2010 - It’s really quite misleading to think that “The Last Song” is supposed to get teenage girls to think that this is the best film they've seen in a long time. This film doesn’t deserve that honour.
Clash of the Titans
16th April 2010 - Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus, must save humanity when the wrath of the gods strikes down.

How to train your dragon
25th March 2010 - The Vikings on the island of Berk must constantly fight hordes of dragons. Hiccup, a Viking teenager, does not fit in with the others. He will not slay dragons. This is an exciting and at times very dramatic film suitable for children from 9 years.

Fantastic Mr. Fox
19th March 2010 - This stop-motion animated film is an original and entertaining interpretation of the famous children's book by Roald Dahl. It isn’t a typical family film, and will perhaps have the greatest appeal among adults, but the film is good and is recommended for children from 8 years.
Where the Wild Things are
19th March 2010 - When problems become too big, Max flees into a fantasy land, but it’s not easy to create happiness there either. This film has great depth, and gives excellent insight into a child’s psychology.
Moon
16th March 2010 - Three years alone on a lunar base has led Sam Bell to the brink of madness, and strange events causes him to question his own identity. Sam Rockwell is impressive in the lead role, but the film does not succeed in revealing its surprises in a good way.

Planet 51
23rd February 2010 - The life of 16-year-old Lem is turned upside down when the astronaut Chuck lands in his home town on Planet 51. This animation film has a good concept and offers decent entertainment, but the story is full of clichés and poor dialogue.
Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief

The Twilight Saga: New Moon
19th November 2009 - It´s time for a new chapter in the Twilight-saga, and this time a broken heart causes the drama. This is the autumn’s movie hit for teenage girls, and they most likely won’t leave the cinemas disappointed.
Fame
6th November 2009 - The musical from New York High School of the Performing Arts will probably achieve high numbers at the box office, with factors like music, dance, gorgeous boys and girls and big dreams. But the movie won't live forever.
Up

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
6th November 2009 - The third Ice Age movie has more action, more adventure, more relationship trouble (there has to be when Sid is present) and more characters. Even though this means there is less space for the excellent plot and the well-known characters...
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
6th November 2009 - Sam, Mikaela and the Autobots have to save the Earth once again when the evil Decepticons return. This is an entertaining action adventure, but the movie contains many violent scenes and is not suitable for children under twelve.
