Paradiset (2003)
Almost as boring as Sprängaren
.., but not quite. It has a few glimmers of hope, but overall it's just a mess of boring characters (that strangely seems a lot more alive in the book), bad script (again nothing like the book) and strange (or should I say bland) casting. Well, better luck next time Mr. Nutley!
Pay It Forward (2000)
Decent performances
Not as thought provocing as the movies producers may have intended. It comes across as a bland americanized flat, butter ridden, piece of Dr. Phil psycho crap about how one individual can change the whole world just by being nice. However, that aside this movie still has some strong performances by it's leading actors. Mr Spacey, Ms Hunt and young Mr Osment all do solid work here. Mr Spacey in particular does a tremendous job, doing very much by doing very little. It's all in the small gestures. But, even if the writers try do shock the audience into thinking otherwise with the tragic fate of the movies do-gooder (failing miserable by adding a further scenes after wich induces severe pains in my stomach), this movie is intended for family viewings, and is because of this very sentimental in it's nature. Too much so in my book.
