Director: Jeff Wadlow
Release date: Mar 14:th 2008
Genre: Action/Fight/Drama
Partial cast: Sean Faris, Amber Heard, Cam Gigandet, Evan Peters, Leslie Hope, Djimon Hounsou, Wyatt Smith.

This is the short review and rating of this movie:
Never back down is a pretty good moive imo, It has everything, A little bit of sports, drama, action, fighting and romance. It's about a young man named Jake Tyler(Sean Faris) and his family, they all have to move from state to state for different reasons. And Jake has a hard time staying out of trouble and fighting, wich unfortunately takes a big part in the youth in the city the move in to in the movie. And why is that im always sitting here asking myself what happened to originality?, well this is about a kid who has to try to beat the odds in fighting. And im pretty sure all of you can guess how it's going to end.

Conclusion: Pretty good movie, nothing special about it though.

Rating: 5.8/10

How I Met Your Mother - Short review and rating of the series.

Title: How I Met Your Mother (H.I.M.Y.M us short)
Creator: Carter Bays and Craig Thomas
Release date: Sept 19:th 2005
Genre: Comedy/Romance
Partial cast: Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan, Bob Saget.

This is the short review and rating of this show:
How I Met Your Mother is just a great show, It's about Ted Mosby, Marshall Eriksen, Barney Stinson, Robin Scherbatsky and Lilly Aldrin. They are all in they're late 20's, living in New York. They are constantly doing alot of fun stuff, hanging out in this bar called Mclarren's. Drinking beer, watching how Barney gets almost any girl to go home with him. Barney doesnt want anything serious with anyone of theese girls though. Ted on the other hand is looking to get married and have children, simply finding the love of his life. He is less fortunate though. Marshall and Lilly are a couple and very happy with eachother. Robin is a single Live tv news caster for a small local network named Metro News One. They are just happy, the show makes you feel at home to be honest. Sometimes it's nice to get away from reality, and HIMYM is the perfect way in my oppinion.

Conclusion: Great show! Good cast, good camera work, good writing. Just good, good, good and awesome :)
I have nothing bad to say about this show what so ever, maybe the fact that it wont go on forever.

Rating: 10/10 (I want to go over scale with this one to be honest and maybe say 11/10)

Saving Private Ryan - Short review and rating.

Title: Saving Private Ryan
Director: Steven Spielberg
Release date: Oct 9:th 1998
Genre: Action/War
Partial cast: Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, Vin Diesel, Matt Damon.

This is the short review and rating of this movie:
Saving Private Ryan, I know that this movie is 12 years old and that there are several reviews allready. But i feel that i just got to express my feelings about the movie aswell. The movie is great, g.r.e.a.t! It's about the invasion of normandy, mostly about Cpt. Miller(Tom Hanks) and his closest soldiers. After the battle of normandy is won, Cpt. Miller recievs new orders from his country(America). A mother has lost three of her children in the war, the fourth and last one is still out there. The Captains mission is simply to gather a few men and find the last of her sons, Who is named Pvt. James Ryan. They are in other words going to Save Private Ryan.
This movie is so realistic, it really gets under you skin and in to your mind. Great cast, Tom Hanks is the war movie hero in my oppinion.

Conclusion: GREAT movie, worth every second watching it.
Nothing bad about it.

Rating: 10/10

The Blind Side - short review and rating.

Title: The Blind Side
Director: John Lee Hancock
Release date: Nov 20:th 2009
Genre: Drama/Sport
Partial cast: Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron, Jae Head, Lilly Collins, Kim Dickins.

This is the short review and rating of this movie:
The Blind Side is, well how to put this.. It's a bad movie in my oppinion, It's about a very wealthy family who takes this young semi-retarded boy in to their home. They give him a room, a car, drivers license, private tutor and more. It's been seen in movies before, and it's just not realistic the way it happens in this movie. Allthough ofcourse everything goes really well for this semi-retarded guy eventually, and that warms your heart. That's about the only good thing about this movie. What happened to originality? Has every movie allready been made?

Conclusion: Bad movie, dont regret seeing it though. To quote myself, the story warms your heart. Proper runtime, good camera work. But thats it.

Rating 3.7/10

Sherlock Holmes - Short review and rating.

Title: Sherlock Holmes
Director: Guy Ritchie
Release date: Jan 1:st 2010
Genre: Action/Crime/Mystery
Partial cast: Robert Downey jr, Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Stron, Eddie Marsan, Robert Maillet.

This is the short review and rating of this movie:
The movie Sherlock Holmes, A good movie. Manageing to raise quite a bit of excitement.
Weak special effects as many other modern movies, for some reason. Pretty confusing actually, but then again it's quite intriging aswell. It's a movie about Sherlock Holmes and his Partner? Watson. Sherlock is as you all probably know allready a detective, a detective who can notice all the small details about people and certain situations. And from all that he can figure just about everything out about the person or the object in question. Watson is a doctor and a friend of Sherlock's, he helps out solving mysteries with Sherlock. A bit reluctantly that is.

Conclusion: Good movie, not a waste of time in any way. Maybe the camera was a little "off".
Worth the time though.

Rating 7/10

2012 - short review and rating.

Title: 2012
Director: Roland Emmerich
Release date: Nov 13:th 2009
Genre: Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi
Partial Cast: John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt.

This is my short review and rating of the movie:
The movie 2012, In short terms and simple words A good movie. Allthough the special effects were quite a bit below my expectations. What im trying to say is, if you're going to produce a movie about the end of the world, streets thorn apart, a flood taking waterlevels almost to the top of Mount Everest, millions and millions of people dying, fire, catastrophy. Then you got to focus alot on special effects, making it realistic.
What about the story?: Well, The word originality has nothing to do in this review. The world has seen a few movie's very similar to this one allready, for example Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, 10.5 And im sure there are quite a bit more similar movies.

Conclusion: It's a pretty good movie. But 158 minutes, what where you thinking? There is so much unnecessary chaos in this movie. about 30-45 minutes of the movie is just a waste of time in my oppinion.

My Rating: 6/10
