Fighter (2007) Movie Review
Aicha loves kung fu, and has been learning at an all-girls club after school for the last three years, until the instructor “introduces” her to a higher level of kung fu after an altercation with a fellow student.

Given the enduring popularity of Eastern style anime and manga, Denmark probably isn’t the first country to spring to mind when considering adult themed animation.

If you’re wondering if the new Danish film “Catch That Girl” (or “Klatretosen”) is your cup of tea, consider this one-line synopsis: “Three 12-year olds, desperate for money, decide to rob a bank.” If that sounds like something you or your kids might like, then “Catch That Girl” is for you.

First let me congratulate Bjork on her first and (according to her) last performance as an actress in a motion picture. Bjork was seemingly born for the role of Selma, a mousy, even childish woman who, surprisingly actually has a son to care for, even though it’s a miracle she can care for herself. Catherine [...]
