xXx: State of the Union (2005)
Why was this movie made?
This time Hollywood was fooling you big time, yes, the viewer. And you, me, we all fell into the trap. I have not the strength to write all that I would like to say about this movie, but I honestly believe that this was a practical joke of some sort (like Oceans 12 which I'm sad to report a saw).
I have read some of the comments given to this film, and I can only agree, I believe that this movie had only one goal, rip the money from us, and I believe that they succeeded well, riding on the success of the first of the series.
The thing that mad my neck hair rise, seeing the phenomenally good actor Samuel L Jackson, trying to lift the movie back on its feet. I ask my self, why did he agree in being part of this nonsense? I will try to forget that he was involved (he will probably doing that too).

Hemligheten (2005)
Warning, this movie is so bad.
Well, as a real fan of Swedish movies, Hemligheten turned to be a huge flop. The movie was a mixture of armature video and low budget stuff that made this cocktail painful to watch. I had high expectations and was looking forward to see it but after seeing it I was just laughing. At first (about 10 min) it seemed to bee a horror movie (Blair witch style) but suddenly it had some weird amateur comedy... I ask my self, what was this movie supposed to bee? The ting I hated most about this movie was that they wanted to scare us, make this a horror movie, but it turned out to bee a mixture of some really, I mean REALLY bad acting and (can't stop laughing) spoken in English, why!? Was the decision of making it an American / Swedish -movie a trick to make it more international or was it just a practical joke? Having Swedish as a mother tongue, I heard from the accent (before I checked the points, and the actors names on this website) that the actors was all Swedish, well, they were acting as students from the US. I mean, OK, my text here is far from perfect but why did they have pick that role? The movie could just as easy be about some tourists from Sweden how visit Gotland. Well, I'm not a movie maker and I seldom criticize movies but this time I just had to register and warn other consumers.
