Let the Right One In (2008) Movie Review
There are special effects that no Hollywood blockbuster can create, and magic that no money can buy. It is the magic of humanity that no CGI can recreate or substitute – the magic of perfectly cast actors whose alchemy transcends (and renders laughable) the puerile “special effects” of the generic horror products. LET THE RIGHT [...]

Every country has their lovable, bumbling idiot. America has Jerry Lewis (though France would rather claim him), Mexico has Cantinflas, England has Peter Sellers as the unforgettable Inspector Clouseau and so on. The latest to join this august chorus of ineptitude appears to be Swede Anders Jansson who wrote and stars in Morgan [...]

“The Phantom Carriage” from Swedish director Victor Sjostrom was originally released way back in 1920 and has long been revered as a classic example of early supernatural cinema. Said to have been an early inspiration for Ingmar Bergman, the film is a haunting tale based around a legend that the last person to die on [...]

Like Lars Von Trier, Swedish director Lukas Moodysson has a reputation for producing challenging, distinctly left field art house films which attempt to address social issues through a variety of original and often quite obtuse techniques. As such, his films (which include the massive commercial hit “Together” and the grueling “Lilya 4 Ever”) are often [...]

The Swedish film industry isn’t exactly known for their action movies, but after credible shoot-em-ups such as “Ranarna” (”The Robbers”) and “Executive Protection”, there seems to be an interest in widening the scope of what can be called “Swedish films”. “Hotet” (”The Threat” in English) follows along the lines of “Ranarna” rather than “Protection”, in [...]

It’s a mystery why the Swedes don’t make more action films like “Ranarna” or “Executive Protection”, when they seem to do it just as well as everyone else. Maybe it’s because the locals don’t appreciate the combination of realism and Hollywood-esque shoot’em ups, but this reviewer certainly thinks the Swedes make fine action cinema. Although [...]

If the premise of the Swedish comedy “Kopps” sounds familiar, it might be because it’s similar to the recent American comedy “Super Troopers”. The latter movie was about a group of tight-knit State Troopers facing lay-off because there’s just not enough crime to justify their continued employment. This forces the troopers to manufacture crimes for [...]

“Executive Protection” has the distinction of being the first film from Sweden to be reviewed on Nixflix.com. It’s an action film, although the action is kept to a minimum despite what the boxcover and the pictures would have you believe. It’s a drama, although the drama is so restrained you wonder what any of it [...]
