E.S.T - Esbjorn Svennson Trio - Live In Stockholm (DVD)

Blood sucking in Stockholm

Advantages: Beautifully filmed, intriguing
Disadvantages: Some will find it too slow

together. Virginia is attacked by Eli, but lives because Lacke arrives on the scene just in time. Neither of them are pleasant characters, both being over-fond of alcohol, but they really manage to make an impression on the film, despite not having particularly wide-ranging roles. I think it was a combination of disgust at their behaviour and real hope that they manage to survive that drew me to them. I don't think I have ever seen such a slow-moving, actionless horror film - especially when compared to Hollywood horror that seems to hold our attention with as much gore as possible. That isn't to say that there aren't unpleasant parts to the film, because there are - but they really are few and far between. The most gruesome moment probably comes towards the end of the film when body parts are flung asunder - yet even that is seen from ...

Review of Let The Right One In

'Stockholm in a pint glass'

, whereby anyone can fish in the city centre without a licence. Over 1.3 million people live in Stockholm, which experiences winter temperatures of around -2°C and +18°C in summer. First Impressions? I flew with Ryanair to the airport known as 'Stockholm Skavsta'. Now you might think this airport is actually in Stockholm, or only a short distance away. However, it took an 80-minute coach journey from the airport to Stockholm's central bus station, so if you plan to fly with Ryanair, just bear this in mind. Having said this, the return coach fare was only 200 Kronor for the 110 mile round trip, offering fantastic value for money at just under £15. After finally making it to Stockholm itself, I was greeted by my friend who explained I then had to fork out another 190 Kronor for a three-day travel pass. However, as I later found out ...

Review of Stockholm in general

Living In Oblivion review

Advantages: Well acted, keeps you engaged throughout
Disadvantages: None

Living In Oblivion is a low budget independent film written and directed by Tom DiCillo and starring Steve Buscemi and Dermot Mulroney. Sure, these aren't A-list stars, but that lends itself to the story. If it was a film about the making of a film and you had George Clooney and Brad Pitt pretending to be small time actors you wouldn't believe it. That's why it was better to use less well known actors, it pulls you more into the story. The film takes place during one day on set of a low budget movie, and documents all the problems that the director, Nick (Buscemi), and everyone else can encounter, from equipment malfunctioning to office politics to actors forgetting their lines. It's almost like a documentary, it is very realistic and gives you the complete story as to what it's like trying to get a film made. There are a few ...
