ah. limited to US users. here is the first episode of Broen

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xrdm6u_bron-broen-the-bridge-s01e01-english-subtitles_shortfilms#.UehjPW1V4R4

One of the reasons that I liked these were those two main characters. Kim Bodnia from Pusher, Bleeder etc. as a Swede detective I think and Sofia Helin with a nice scar on her face, playing introvert and weird Danish detective.

Thanks for the link! I'll be watching them all soon. Seems like I tried to find episodes online for something you mentioned but failed or gave up quickly.

I see you've mentioned wire in the blood too. So if you haven't found it yet, the first episode is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIk6fmnfvWI and then the rest of these. I don't know why it shows that there are only 14mins, but it streams to the end of the episode.

Excellent movie. Once seen, never forgotten. Really must get a dvd copy some time.

Watched The Hunter (2011; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703148/?ref_=rvi_tt) - pretty good, you have to read between the lines a little but will probably watch it again some time as I get the impression more may be revealed on a second watch.

Just finished Dredd, thoroughly enjoyed it. Reminds me of Watchmen a little, with the tone and colours and violence.

EVILSPEAK is one of my all-time favorite horror films & Code Red has released a brand new version, fully uncut! Just ordered my copy. I have the previous dvd release too.. really hate double-dipping but could not resist this movie.

This looks great. Thanx for the recommendation. Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN8fNNYMVrU

EVILSPEAK should be shown to  kids who are being bullied. It shows them exactly how to deal with their situation: summon Satan & exact REVENGE!

Code Red will be releasing NIGHTMARE on Blu-ray later this year to counter a European bootleg. JUST BEFORE DAWN is also in the works along with some awesome martial arts films like RAW FORCE (martial arts vs. zombies!) & FORCE: FIVE.

Haven't watched many movies lately.. simply been shortage of time..

Watched Cloud Atlas that have been celebrated quite a lot. Yep, well, it's well done. But at the same time very often I'm like "aarrgghh!!". I mean, oh yes, one of matrix brothers is now.. sister. And yes world is so full of oppression of individuals rights and all that, but oh please. Never read the book, but often movie felt like this modern type of exploitation movie. Exploitation of the bad consciousness of modern liberals. But there is no denying that the way story is told is fresh, visually impressive, unusual ability to mix movie genres and respectable way of self financing most expensive independent movie.

the hobbit ...  very childish, original story quite betrayed, but wtf, my dwarf fetish was satisfied... damn I am a nerd and wants more...

oxford murders, by alex de la iglesias.. not his best flick, but still very very good.. I much prefer spanish set up , but it definitely works for me

after several suggestions I have completed THE KILLING (DK) and BROEN and completely loved them.

I watched the first episode of BROEN & it didn't really grab me. Possibly because I already knew the basics as the U.S. version was nearly the same but takes place in much more interesting areas: Mexico (sleazy, crime-ridden) & Texas barren desert. What I didn't get about BROEN was the significance of the bridge between Denmark & Sweden-does the film take place before the creation of the E.U. so there were customs/border enforcement at the time?

Another U.S. crime show that just started is LOW WINTER SUN that I suspect is based on either a UK or European series. I haven't looked it up yet. So far, it's only so-so. BREAKING BAD's final season is a good thing because I have a sort of mild-like/hate relationship with it. So much of it is so goddamn illogical it drives me nuts.

I haven't seen it yet but I understand it depicts something of the war between the dwarves and the orcs, something I've always thought would, in itself, make an excellent movie in the right hands. Was there a lot of that, or was it just some kind of opening montage thing?

If one has not seen the first, I recommend to wait that you could at least see 1 & 2 together. Maybe even 3rd..
1st Hobbit is like...  pretty much nothing happens! As soon as things seem to start rolling, then it stop.

The original series of Bron has the joys of Danish acting while suffering from typical Swedish wooden acting. Those who've watched it will have noticed Kim Bodnia, Frank from Pusher, as the Danish copper. The reporter who gets bumped off in the first series must have been based on the local charlatan Viggo Cavling. Not surprising if whoever wrote the script had it in for him. The bridge has had quite an impact on the entire region since it opened in 2000. Customs still exist and operate in the EU. It isn't a total free for all along the borders between EU countries. Overall I thought Bron was on the lame side but I enjoy watching it because it's set in the shithole I come from. Moving the setting from Malmö/Copenhagen to Texas/Mexico sounds ridiculous.
