On September 11, 2001, America witnessed three terrorist attacks when three planes were hijacked and destroyed the pentagon and the two world trade centers. However, one plane in the mist of the hijacking never reached its target. Instead the passengers fought back to save thousands of lives even if it meant they too, would die. This is their story. The story of flight 93.

Trodde denna skulle vara bättre än Flight 93 och det är den. Men bara marginellt. Flight 93 är faktiskt mera gripande då man i den får följa offrens familjemdelemmar. Det får man inte i denna. Detta är mera en actionfilm.

Upon hearing of her mother’s death, jaded teenage loner Purslane Hominy Will returns to New Orleans for the first time in years, ready to reclaim her childhood home. Expecting to find her late mother’s house abandoned, Pursy is shocked to discover that it is inhabited by two of her mother’s friends: Bobby Long, a former literature professor, and his young protégé, Lawson Pines. These broken men, whose lives took a wrong turn years before, have been firmly rooted in the dilapidated house for years, encouraged only by Lawson’s faltering ambitions to write a novel about Bobby Long’s life. Having no intention of leaving, Pursy, Bobby Long and Lawson are all forced to live together. Yet as time passes, their tenuous, makeshift arrangement unearths a series of buried personal secrets that challenges their bonds, and reveals just how inextricably their lives are intertwined.

Detta är också en film som jag har svårt att sätta fingret på vad jag egentligen tycker om filmen. Jättebra skådespelarinsatser. Filmen hade inte varit något utan deras insatser. Filmen var dock lite seg för min smak. Men får dock en stark 3:a i betyg.

It’s the last days of Adolf Hitler, April 1945, and Hitler’s personal secretary Traudl Junge finds herself in the Der Fuhrer’s bunker. Facing inevitable defeat, Hilter’s moods range from defiance to fight or flee, remain loyal or opt for self-preservation. Eva Braun parties while Magda Goebbels kills her children. The movie goes on to show how Hitler and Eva lived their last hours in the Bunker.

Skakande film om Hitlers sista tid i livet. Den tid han spenderar i sin bunker i Berlin. Bruno Ganz som spelar Hitler gör ett ypperligt jobb. Vore dock spännande att få reda på om det som händer verkligen är baserat på faktiskt händelser och hur mycket som är fiktion.

In the mid-80’s two young climbers attempted to reach the summit of Siula Grande in Peru; a feat that had previously been attempted but never achieved. With an extra man looking after base camp, Simon and Joe set off to scale the mount in one long push over several days. The peak is reached, however on the descent Joe falls and breaks his leg. Despite what it means, the two continue with Simon letting Joe out on a rope for 300 meters, then descending to join him and so on. However when Joe goes out over an overhang with no way of climbing back up, Simon makes the decision to cut the rope. Joe falls into a crevice and Simon, assuming him dead, continues back down. Joe however survives the fall and was lucky to hit a ledge in the crevice. This is the story of how he got back down.

Mycket bra “dokumentär”. Den fÃ¥ngar upp dig frÃ¥n första början och hÃ¥ller dig pÃ¥ kanten av soffan genom hela filmen. Den är skapad av samma gäng som gör serien “Jag borde vara död” som gÃ¥r pÃ¥ Discovery. TYcker du om den serien kommer du verkligen tycka om denna filmen.

“Inside Man” is the story of a tough cop, Detective Frazier (Denzel Washington), who matches wits with a clever bank robber, Dalton (Clive Owen). As the dangerous cat-and-mouse game unfolds, a wild card emerges: Madaline (Jodie Foster), a power broker with a hidden agenda, who injects even more instability into an already volatile situation.

Tyckte filmen i allmänhet kändes lite slö. Den kom aldrig riktigt upp i fart. Man sögs aldrig riktigt med i handligen, kände aldrig riktigt för hur det skulle gå för skådespelarna. Men filmen är ändå bättre än de allmäna tjuv- och polisfilmer.
