Flammen & Citronen
12 commentsIn English, it's Flame and Citron. A drama centered on two fighters in a Danish World War II resistance group. Flame (Thure Lindhardt, 36 year old veteran of over 30 Danish films) and Citron (Mads Mikkelsen, who I have written about before, with many big titles under his belt including: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Monsters vs Aliens, and Afte...

A few weeks ago I reviewed Avatar 3D, where I acknowledged James Cameron's talent for producing ground-breaking cinema technology but also his tired plot-by-formula approach to story telling. I suggested that Avatar 3D was more a technology showcase more than a movie, and I stand by that assessment. And I also mentioned that Avatar would never f...

A little over six months on, I thought I'd re-review the Nokia N97. This is the first time this site has reviewed the same product twice, but given that I still come across people in my travels who are interested in the phone, it makes sense to see if things have improved since many software updates have been released for it. The last time I tal...

Around 12 years ago Damon Albarn decided that being front man for pop sensations Blur just wasn't enough to stretch his musical wings. Sure he was the major songwriter and musical contributor to the band, but they had a particular audience that meant straying too far from the public expectations might have been detrimental to their careers. So what...

Well I was itching to write an article, and while my area of focus tends to run more in the controversial subjects. I decided to do something that would be a little more simple and may be useful to my fellow rusty gamer brethren. This product is going to be more focused more towards those who play first person shooters, or any type of game that ...

I'd been waiting months for this to come out on Bluray, and 2 days ago it did. It's a movie that when I first saw the trailer, my jaw literally dropped. I hadn't been this excited about a movie in a long time. So last night we viewed Moon, directed by one Duncan Jones (who is incidentally the son of someone else I admire - David Bowie), lights o...

The greatest game ever made? That's a very big call; but it's what they're saying. It's not every day a game gets 10 out of 10 on several serious gamer review sites (in fact it basically never happens) - but that's precisely what's going on, right now. So why is there so much hype and reviewer gushing over this RPG? In short - because it m...

I have to say that I have a lot of respect for James Cameron for pushing the envelope when it comes to advancing cinema technology. Although he is famous for directing some really good movies, most don't know that he's also an explorer. This movie business actually gets in the way of his preferred passion of discovery. If you haven't seen his Alien...

In November 2009 Led Zeppelin, Queens Of The Stone Age and the Foo Fighters had a child. The new band features John Paul Jones, Dave Grohl, and Josh Homme. This project has been in the works since 2005 and follows in the wake of other side projects that both Grohl and Homme have contributed to. The album is, in a single word, FANTASTIC! It combi...
