When I first saw Battle Royale with Takeshi Kitano from the year 2000, I felt really sick. Most of us have seen enough killings and repulsive violence in the movies to have built up a pretty generous tolerance by now. When you take the idea of forcing people to parttake in televised gladiator games with deadly outcome we have seen it plenty of times before. The Condemned and Running Man to name a two. But in Battle Royale.. to push this even further, these japanese (who else!?) let school children be the gladiators, suddenly placed in the arena to kill each other until only one is left standing. It's quite.. yeah, repulsive. That's why I could not believe my eyes when I saw the first trailer for Hunger Games. Is it really OK to do a movie like this? In a culture where it's a total taboo to show a nipple, you can obviously place your fictive 12 year...

Toplist of the week: Zombies

Zombies are the new vampires! It's a mystery to me how dead cold creatures walking around slowly dreaming of eating a brain will make good stories. I have seen a few taking on the task from different angles with different result.

The first member of moviedeek.com is.. surprise surprise the developer. Somehow I have the feeling most people reading this already know me. That does not stop me from enjoy my time in the spotlight by interviewing myself.

Why did you set up moviedeek.com? Because I believe it's a good idea! I often find myself surfing around on movie sites looking for a movie to watch. No matter how much inspiration and recomendations I had earlier, when I sit there it's all blank. I wish moviedeek.com will be a platform for people with an interest in film to inspire each other.

So you think you're that inspireing? Luckily it's not up to me. Anyone with a facebook account can join in and build lists, post comments, share lists and inspire!
