Here is the movies of the latest Tele Week, some days with too much Champagne...
A local TV-channel has showed a lot of Harry Potter movies, and I thought I can just jump in anywhere, apparently one can't, and some where showned with Swedish dubbing, and I didn't want to see them that way...
I can't recommend my way of jumping in a little here and there! There is obviously another context to the story that I might have missed.
They were a bit darker than I had imagine'd, and I can very well see the attraction!
Great assembly of actors too!
Lynda Carter it aint! far from it. The prologue tells a long and boring saga of Greek Gods and such stuff, and the were go to WWI. It take's to long to get the story started, Star Wars 1977 and even Jezebel 1938 did it much better, throw the viewer right into a story, and one can catch up along the way.
Storywise it's the same as always, surprise though that one of the leads die.
Gal Gadot embodies a supernatural hero well! Just wish the story was better.
A rather lame rom-com made at beautiful locations, harmless thought, with the great Betty White in a fiesty part.
Storywise it reminded me of movies with Jean Arthur and Melvyn Douglas that they did just to fill out contracts at Columbia or some other comapny.
Far-fetched but entertaining adventure in the old 12-chapter universe. More pleasant than the second Indy movie. With a great later performane of the now retired Sir Sean Connery and kudos too to Denholm Elliott, since those two makes this far more entertaining that it should have been.
An entertaining way to spend an evening!

As if the 1960's and the 1970's never happened, my wonderful neighbour country Denmark, kept making this kind of light operetta movies way into the early 1980's. Usually made at beautiful locations. Based on a light operetta by Florimond Hervé.
Is it worth searching out? No! Though nice to see somethething different.
Dirch Passer was a very beloved comedian and entertainer, who just like British Tommy Cooper more or less died on stage.
Bold outlaws and George Sanders as a crook, great day to spend a lazy New Years Day with.
This is a gem! It's a very serious dark and horrible story, managed by the great director George Stevens, who keeps the story light when it needs to be and very dark when it needs to be, mixing comedy and drama. Cary Grant is on the run for a crime he didn't commit, who hides out in a house owned by an old school friend (Jean Arthur), that is soon hired by a very celebrated law professor (Ronald Colman) who might soon be appointed to USA supreme court, and must stay out of "local" troubles.
Highly recommended!
excepts my damned cold, 2020 can't be worse than 2019, LOL
Time to read what others have seen!
