This was a silly concert. I do sometimes like to listen to jazz like this. Jazz that takes a piece of the mystic and traditional Norwegian soul and makes it into a journey. But to be honest seeing Nils live was a disappointment.
I rather listen to his CD. It Is a better experience in every way.

James Bond Casino Royale (film)
Every time there is a new James Bond there is a lot of tension in the first movie. It is usually like: if the movie fails the James Bond franchise is in danger.
Therefore they brought in the director from Goldeneye to ensure success.
Earlier there has also been similar attempts on creating a darker Bond more like the one in Ian Flemming’s books. Most noticeably the failure with George Lazenby.
This time however they have gone to the roots and made something of a Dr. No killer.
They step away from a lot of the Bondiness that was created for the films and is not from Ian Flemmings mind.
One shouldn’t be surprised that it works. It is just the fact that we have gotten used to something else? Truth is it works so well. With such an impact 2:24 seems like an hour and a half. Even when you see it second time.
It is really enjoyable to see that James Bond takes damage and has his face full of bruises. And the rest is just pure enjoyment as well. Best line is: “That's because you know what I can do with my little finger”
The weak point is that the story is totally weak as well as the end. But who cares. This is one of the best bond movies ever. You have a license to see it now.

Oooops, no winter…
Well I was wrong, winter is not here. It is soon Christmas and temperature is still high. No snow. And animal life is believing in a new summer. It is all weird – but I do think the snow will be here soon. But will it be in time for a white Christmas?

Million Dollar Baby (movie)
I’ve been a big fan of Clint Eastwood as long as I can remember. His movies includes both a lot of classics as well as a few turkey ones. Unlike a lot of you I was deeply disappointed with Mystic River so I waited a long time before my sister “tricked” me into seeing this one.
But as It is said so many times: the one that waits – waits for something good.
And so it is that Million Dollar Babe is up there among Clint’s finest ever. It is obvious that Clint and Morgan is having an explended time while shooting this. And so is it that this movie is a fun, interesting movie that hits you where you need it.
In fact all the punches, all the violence that Cllint has given us on the big screen up till now has now been gathered into the fist of a girl. And what a fist – a million dollar fist – a million dollar babe.
Now this movie could easily been a great boxing movie and nothing more. And a lot of people I think would feel ok with that. But it is so that this movie is also deeper than the numerous punch lines.
And so Clint is taking the time to tell us some more in all the enjoyment.
Another one for everybody to watch.

Volver (movie)
A good movie is a pleasure – something that is oh so easy to forget because there is not really that many movies that are a pleasure. Volver is a gem – one of those moments when you forget yourself and just enjoy.
Not so that Volver is brainless. No way. In fact it puts it finger on some really important issues but at the same time its such an cute comedy. And as you understand in 99% of the times this wouldn’t be possible – to make a movie which is both deep, funny and cozy.
I don’t think I should say much more about this movie – as it is one that everybody should watch no matter what and you’ll understand what I mean.
