Another great experience at the cinema
Stig, Iril and myself went to the cinema today to watch the latest norwegian movie about a resistance fighter during WWII, "Max Manus".
I haven't seen a norwegian movie since forever, most of them tend to be at best average, but most likely crappy. But this one was something I had looked forward to, Max Manus took great risks to perform sabotage against the germans occupying Norway so the story about him is interesting even outside the big screen. The movie was great, well worth the money :) Actually it's the best norwegian movie I've ever seen.
Before the movie started, we saw the trailer for "Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise. Mein gott, it looked horrible! A Stauffenberg speaking English doesn't work for me, and there is already a great movie out there about the same mission, "Stauffenberg". What's the use of a pompous over produced Tom Cruise movie, where the bad guys are so bad they speak english with a german accent, and the good guys (even though they are germans too) speak english without the evil german accent? Nah, not going to see that one.
