Februari was last time I made a new Post Blog? Christ... It´s been allmost 5 months. The Oscar a long over and I can tell you that I had about 6 correct guesses I think. The reason I havn´t posted a blog in a while is... there is no reason. I just havn´t had time. I havn´t been very active in the "Movie Industry" since the oscars. I havn´t watched as many movies and not posted as many reviews as I used to. But now i think I´m coming into it agian. Maybe I just needed a little break.

So to look at this year so far. I´m disapointed with this movie year so far. The best I´ve seen is Iron Man and that doesn´t say that mutch. It was a great movie but is that as good as it gets? I´ll just wait and see what is to come the next 6 months of the year since that is the time where the best movies are usualy released.

I´m looking forward to "Righteous Kill" which will be released in September. It has Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro in it and just that is enough for you to want to see it. My expectations where lowered though when I saw that it had the same director (John Avnet) who directed 88 Minutes. But I´ll give him another chance and se how it turns out. One thing that has been on my mind is that i havn´t managed to see the new Indiana Jones movie yet. I´m a fan of the series, especialy the first one so i should realy have seen the new one by now.

Anyone else depressed over that The Wire has ended? Well I am. It is one of my favorite shows and I hated to see it end. Just trying to make the post longer right now but i guess it´s useless. I will probably post more blogs now then i´ve done in the last 6 months so maybe i´ll here from you in a comment or something.

Now, there is five more categories, but i havn´t seen any of the nominated in those catigories, so i can´t decide. Feel free to comment on this post.

I hasn´t been able to post any new blog because my internet has been shut down, and will probable be for a time.

American Gangster has been releasted after all of my wating, but i have to admit that i havn´t seen it yet. Though i did see Ratatoille by pixar, i realy think they´ve got back in shape, i didn´t think Cars or "Chicken Little" was verry good, As allways you can read my fullk review at the Ratatoille page.

It´s Not Far from Christmas now! And with it New Year, it´s soon time to decide which movies have been the best of this so faramazing movie year, i can´t decide myself, if i watched American Gangster mayabe i had something to choose .

Iresently watched an interview with Paul Shrader (the writer of Taxi Driver And Raging Bull) where he sais that the movie industry is slowly disapearing because of all other media. That movies isn´t as important as they where in the society during the 60-70s. Of cource it made me think, he is probably right People care more about who Paris Hilton is Dating instead of the amazing world of movies. Paul Shraders Own Wordswas: "The movie industry is disapearing, because of all othermixed media, movies arn´t as important for the society as it was in the 60-70s. It´s being replaced by something, but we just don´t know what yet." I will probably write something in the forums about this.

That Was All! Keep Your Friends Close, But Your Enimies Closer.
