With "Brokeback Mountain," Hollywood films has taken homosexual love and passion from laughed-at comedy to deep drama. Gyllenhaal and Ledger makes a great and believable pair of cowboys, coming closer than close during a summer job i Wyoming during the 60's. In a time of prejudices and widespread and sometimes violent homophobia, they do what they see fit - keep their love for each other a secret while outwards living a "normal" life with wife and kids.

Scenery is stunningly beautiful in the beginning, as the environment there makes the most to show. Ang Lee continues to cleverly utilize camera angles, motives and views to enhance the visual experience.

If anything negative is to be said about this film from me, I would consider the ending a bit too quick over with. From passion to sorrow in about 5 minutes is a little too steep a fall for me. 9/10 - best movie of 2005.

Yes, after a long wait, DOOM: the movie finally hit the big screen. What would you expect? Another Aliens? Or another Resident Evil? The thing is that I find Hollywood action movies to be either radical or very mainstream. For the setting off-world, alien/creature fighting, space travelling, it seems we just can't get a ground-breaking film. Influences from Aliens and Resident Evil are quite obvious. Still, DooM is an entertaining action movie featuring decent actors Karl Urban and The Rock, who actually can act and look cool. It's nothing new about this film, but it does its job. Action entertainment for the Saturday evening.

7/10
