The Departed (2006)

IMDB: "The Departed"
On IMDBs Top 250 Movies
This movie contains so many awesome actors you wouldn't believe! And the plot it so twisted I don't want to give so much of it away. All I can say, besides a little bit of the story, is: watch it!


Jack Nicholson is The mafia boss of South Boston, Leonardo DiCaprio is undercover, Matt Damon is a corrupt cop, Mark Wahlberg is a jerk and Martin Scorsese is the genius behind it all!

I really don't know what else to say, because you should just see it for yourself! There's more about the movie on IMDB and it's on IMDB's Top 250 Movies.

Fast & Furious 7 (2015)

IMDB: "Fast & Furious 7"

The movie we've all been waiting for! Honestly, these are not my favorite movies. They're alright, but not quite my taste. Cars are cool, but I'm no motor-head. Reason I started watching these films: Vin Diesel. Reasons why I continued: Michelle Rodriguez and Paul Walker


























The team is back, or as Dom (Vin Diesel) so often says: Family. Brian (Paul Walker) and his Mia (Jordana Brewster) and son are living the domestic life, but Brian "misses the bullets". And as we saw in the ending of "Fast & Furious 6" Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) comes back for revenge of his brother, Owen (Luke Evans). They meet Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russel) and he wants help finding "Gods Eye" who can track anyone, anywhere at any time!! A pretty useful tool to have if you're looking for someone! Specially when you have to find Shaw before he finds you
















This is the last movie Paul Walker did. He almost finished the entire movie, but sadly not all of it. After he died, his brothers Caleb and Cody and other stunt-doubles finished the movie for him. And I have to say that they did a good job. I never thought I would cry when watching any of these movies, but in the end, I bawled like a baby.

This was a worthy and perfect ending for the franchise and for the late Paul Walker. And I hear rumours that they're making another one?! For Paul's sake.. Stop. Let him have this ending.

Focus (2015)

IMDB: "Focus"
I'm just happy Will Smith is back after being in "After Earth" which is one of the most terrible movies I've ever seen! And I'm certainly not complaining when Margot Robbie is on the big screen. That woman is breathtakingly beautiful and she can act! 

























Nicky (Will) is a brilliant con-artist and he meets this gorgeous woman, Jess (Margot) who turns out is trying to con him. When she finds out who he is, she desperately wants in on his "business" and a partnership is made. She is very good at what she does, but for some reason Nicky has to let her go.

After a couple of years, Nicky is "doing some business" and all off a sudden Jess shows up and throws him off his game. Will he be able to focus and get the job done? (See what I did there?)

Nicky teaching Jess how to become a perfect con-artist.

























I loved the first part of this movie. It reminded me of the "Oceans" movies because of the master brains who does these smooth thefts. The other half is also good, but not as good. The good thing about this movie is that you never know how it's going to end. And I really liked the chemistry between Will and Margot.

* 6/10 *
(And I know this is under the category "Comedy", but it's not like an "ha-ha"-comedy, so don't expect to laugh your butt off from this movie. I know the risks of thinking it's a plain comedy and getting something "dramatic" instead.. It can kill the movie entirely..)






You should also check out the episode of "The Graham Norton Show" where Will and Margot is on (also Hugh Jackman and David Beckham). It's an hilarious episode, so I put it on here so you can check it out if you want to.

Blow (2001)

IMDB: "Blow"
This is one of Johnny Depps best movies. I'm sorry to say that (in my opinion) he doesn't make good movies anymore. He's been one of my favorites for years, but after "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest" (which should've been the last one!) he just went downhill. And it kills me to say that. But yeah, back to this! THIS is FANTASTIC



This is the true story of George Jung (Johnny Depp) who was The biggest cocaine-dealer in the 70's. It all started with him and his pal Tuna (Ethan Suplee) smoking weed and then got the opportunity to sell and make big bucks. After he understood he would make even bigger bucks he started selling cocaine and became very good at what he did. He met new people, made new partners and lived life to the fullest. Big house, girls, drugs, all he could ask for! Do you how the story ends? If you don't (or if you aldready do), WATCH IT!

Derek (Paul Reubens) and George celebrating with a drink after an easy job well done!

















This is my favorite scene. Just because of the music, the hair, the Depp..

Lethal Weapon quadrilogy (1987, 1989, 1992 and 1998)

Pictures borrowed from here.
IMDB: "Lethal Weapon", "Leathal Weapon 2", "Leathal Weapon 3" and "Leathal Weapon 4"
I gather all these films in one post, because they all get the same ratings. They're classics, they're funny, packed with action and just plain cool.


Murtaugh (Danny Glover) and Riggs (Mel Gibson) are a lethal duo!
In the first film, Murtaugh who's a by-the-book-soon-to-be-retired cop gets a new partner, a crazy firecracker with a short fuse, Riggs. That's a good combination in any movie. There's a different villain in every sequel, but there's always the duo that takes care of them.

"You think I'm crazy? You call me crazy, you think I'm crazy? You wanna see crazy?"


"I'm too old for this shit.."
This is the only problem. Joe Pesci is the most idiotic, irritating, dumbest sidekick ever. During all four movies, all I could think of when I saw him was: "Ok.. ok.. ok.. ok.. Whatever.. SHUT UP!!!"

22 Jump Street (2014)

IMDB: "22 Jump Street"
I wasn't the biggest fan of "21 Jump Street", I actually don't remember anything of it, so I was sceptical when I sat down to watch this. But this made me laugh so hard I choked on my popcorn! They make fun of themselves, that sequals are never good, and so on! And that's the perfect humor for this kind of movie and (don't ) let me get started on Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum - Those two have such good chemistry it's not even funny! It's hilarious!


This time, they're back in college! And it has the same plot as the first movie (and they know it). Someone in school are selling drugs and Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) is on it! Two "old guys" in college - no one will notice!

* 8/10 *





Sequel of "21 Jump Street" and a "remake" of the TV-show: "21 Jump Street".
