Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II

Felt these movies gradually got worse, although I fully understand why they would do a full rebellion. Some good action, decent actors.

Bølgen (The Wave)

Although anticipated, no one is really ready when the mountain pass above the scenic, narrow Norwegian fjord Geiranger collapses and creates an 85-meter high violent tsunami. A geologist is one of those caught in the middle of it.

Always really enjoyed this movie. It’s shot just outside my hometown, and for a disaster movie, it feels more realistic than most. Well acted as well.

Closing out Easter (which has been a great week), with Jurassic World. Second ever viewing. Not expecting too much based on memory and my original rating, but at least it’s a big budget spectacle, and I do remember there being some good scenes (not only thinking action, I like when they first go to the park).

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
