- DirectorMårten KlingbergStarsPeter HaberMikael PersbrandtIngvar HirdwallA young woman is found strangled in a hotel room. The investigation leads Beck and Gunvald to Stureplan, Stockholm's nightlife and its downsides.(Jan 1) I really like the movies about Martin Beck and Gunvald Larsson, especially when they are played by Peter Haber and Mikael Persbrandt. This is the first of 8 new movies in this series. It was not one of the better in the series but not one of the worst either. Decent start of the new season. 6/10
- DirectorJustin BensonGregg BishopTodd LincolnStarsPatrick LawrieEmilia AresCelia K. MiliusA Los Angeles police chase sends a fame-obsessed man on a wild ride to save his girlfriend from a cybernetic terror.(Jan 2) The first movie in this franchise were good, the second were great but this was a big disappointment. I didn´t like any of the segments, a real mess of a movie. 3/10
- DirectorAlfonso Gomez-RejonStarsAddison TimlinVeronica CartwrightAnthony Anderson65 years after a masked serial killer terrorized the small town of Texarkana, the so-called "moonlight murders" begin again. Is it a copycat or something even more sinister? A lonely high-school girl may be the key to catching him.(Jan 2) Decent slasher with a great cast even if Anthony Anderson felt like a bit of a miscast. But the movie also has a lot of flaws and the disappointing ending is the biggest one. 5/10
- DirectorJeffery Scott LandoStarsMeghan HeffernRhonda DentTravis WattersCami is a dedicated student of entomology that is researching insects in her sorority house. When her sorority sister Josi sprays insecticide on her bugs, Cami becomes upset. But sooner she learns that the insects had grown bigger and bigger and she and her sisters are under siege by the insects. Further, Josi is the host of the breed of mutant insects that are very hungry.(Jan 3) Low budget horror/comedy with the worst effects I have ever seen in a movie. I did get a few laughs though and it wasn´t a total waste of time, but pretty bad. 4/10
- DirectorFrank MillerRobert RodriguezStarsMickey RourkeJessica AlbaJosh BrolinSome of Sin City's most hard-boiled citizens cross paths with a few of its more reviled inhabitants.(Jan 3) What a big disappointment. The first movie is awesome but this failed to live up to that one in every way. 4/10
- DirectorMårten KlingbergStarsPeter HaberMikael PersbrandtIngvar HirdwallA well-known crime boss is murdered by a sniper in front of his family.(Jan 10) Decent follow up to the first movie of this season. Nothing special but about equal to the first. 6/10
- DirectorKurt WimmerStarsChristian BaleSean BeanEmily WatsonIn an oppressive future where all forms of feeling are illegal, a man in charge of enforcing the law rises to overthrow the system and state.(Jan 11) Great movie, well made with superb action sequences. It also has a great cast. It reminded a lot about "The Matrix" but I think that this is better. 8/10
- DirectorTodd RobinsonStarsJohn TravoltaSalma HayekJared LetoBased on the true story, two homicide detectives track Martha Beck and Raymond Martinez Fernandez, a murderous pair known as the "Lonely Hearts Killers" who lured their victims through the personals.(Jan 12) Great cast but not that good of a movie. It is well made but slightly boring and many of the characters needed more depth. 5/10
- DirectorBrian Trenchard-SmithStarsWarwick DavisBrent JasmerJessica CollinsOur deadly leprechaun is in space to woo a beautiful princess who is impressed with his gold and desires to separate him from it.(Jan 13) Poorly made sequel, by far the worst in the series so far. Bad acting, awful effects and not very funny. 3/10
- DirectorJean de SegonzacStarsAlix KoromzayBruno CamposWill EstesA human mimicking giant bug survived Mimic (1997) and is killing humans and stalking a woman, who's bug/biology school teacher in NYC.(Jan 17) I like the first one but this was nothing special. Not terrible either but it suffers from poor effects and a ridiculous ending. 4/10
- DirectorGeoffrey WrightStarsBrittany MurphyJay MohrMichael BiehnIn the small town of Cherry Falls, a psychotic murderer is killing off the virgins of the local high school.(Jan 17) Decent slasher, not a complete waste of time. Interesting cast but poor editing, could had been better. 5/10
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsIan McKellenMartin FreemanRichard ArmitageBilbo Baggins and company are forced to engage in a war against an array of combatants and keep the Lonely Mountain from falling into the hands of a rising darkness.(Jan 18) Disappointing finale to a disappointing trilogy. The whole production feels sloppy compared to the previous ones and it looks like it needed more time in post production. It also could had been shorter and it is a relief when the movie finally ends. 5/10
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBen AffleckRosamund PikeNeil Patrick HarrisWith his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.(Jan 19) Well written, well acted and very unpredictable. But it is also too long and I didn´t like the ending. 6/10
- DirectorScott FrankStarsLiam NeesonDan StevensDavid HarbourPrivate investigator Matthew Scudder is hired by a drug kingpin to find out who kidnapped and murdered his wife.(Jan 21) Well written movie with solid acting. The final act could had been much stronger though but still a great movie. 7/10
- DirectorMikkel NørgaardStarsNikolaj Lie KaasFares FaresPilou AsbækThe murder of young twins initially implicates a group of upper class students as the killers, though the case takes a turn or two from its starting point.(Jan 22) Decent follow up to the first movie in this new series but slightly worse. Very well made though and the acting is great. 6/10
- DirectorJ.T. PettyStarsLance HenriksenAlex CioalcaKarl GearyA man enclosed in a plastic bubble, his sister, and their best friend must defend an apartment complex from the mutant Judas Breed insects.(Jan 23) Awful sequel, really terrible. Highly boring, completely uninteresting characters and far from convincing acting. The first movie in this trilogy is the only one worth seeing. 2/10
- DirectorJoseph GuzmanStarsAsun OrtegaDavid CastroPerry D'MarcoA left-for-dead nun forced into prostitution embarks on a deadly revenge mission to do the Lord's work, punishing sinners in a strictly personal vigilante Holy War.(Jan 24) Decent contribution to the explotation genre. Nothing groundbreaking but solid entertainment. 5/10
- DirectorGonzalo López-GallegoStarsSharlto CopleyThomas KretschmannJosie HoA man wakes up with no memory in a pit full of dead bodies in the wilderness and must determine if the murderer is one of the strangers who rescued him, or if he himself is the killer.(Jan 24) I like the ending but other than that it was a pretty bad movie. No interesting characters, not very good acting and the movie is slightly boring. 4/10
- DirectorStephen KayStarsBarry WatsonEmily DeschanelLucy LawlessA young man tries to deal with the childhood terror that has never stopped haunting him.(Jan 26) Pretty boring movie that is poorly written. But the most annoying thing is the awful editing. It also has a ridicolous conclusion and a silly looking monster. 3/10
- DirectorPhillip J. RothStarsLorenzo LamasSimmone MackinnonJeffrey GormanMoneyless, ocean-exploring gigolo and his worldly lady-friend are forced to take part in looking into the possibility that aggression - utilizing marine life - is being planned.(Jan 27) Not really a good movie but quite entertaining B-movie fun. Many rememberable and funny quotes to laugh at in this one. 5/10
- DirectorJason StoneStarsSusan SarandonGil BellowsEllen BurstynDetective Hazel Micallef hasn't had much to worry about in the sleepy town of Fort Dundas until a string of gruesome murders in the surrounding countryside brings her face to face with a serial killer driven by a higher calling.(Jan 28) Decent serial killer movie with a good cast. Quite slow though and lacking suspense in the conclusion. 6/10
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansSamuel L. JacksonScarlett JohanssonAs Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world, he teams up with a fellow Avenger and S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Black Widow, to battle a new threat from history: an assassin known as the Winter Soldier.(Jan 29) Pretty good sequel, definetly a little better than the first. Very well made, it looks great and the cast does a good job. 7/10
- DirectorUlrik Imtiaz RolfsenStarsTrond Espen SeimBjørn FlobergKathrine FagerlandA successful female politician hires private detective Varg Veum to find her missing daughter without attracting too much attention. During his investigation, Veum becomes aware of an international company and its dealings with corruption, black-market business, ad murder.(Feb 1) The first of many movies about Varg Veum. Not a great start, even though it is well acted it occasionally gets a bit dull. Will probably watch a couple more of these to see if it gets better. 5/10
- DirectorTed PostStarsClint EastwoodHal HolbrookMitchell RyanInspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan pursues a conspiracy of vigilante cops, who are not above going beyond the law to kill San Francisco's undesirables.(Feb 1) Decent sequel but the first is better.

- DirectorJames FargoStarsClint EastwoodTyne DalyHarry GuardinoInspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan reluctantly teams up with rookie Inspector Kate Moore to foil a terrorist organization made up of disgruntled Vietnam veterans.(Feb 2) I liked it, good sequel. Better than Magnum Force and almost as good as the first. 7/10
