Valhalla Rising

A man with a remarkable talent for violence must fight to survive when he sets out on a remarkable journey in this fantasy from director Nicolas Winding Refn. One-Eye (Mads Mikkelsen) is the nickname given to a nameless, mute warrior who has become a slave to Barde (Alexander Morton), a wealthy Scotsman who obtained One Eye for his remarkable fighting skills. One Eye is a fierce warrior but shows little loyalty to his master, and when the opportunity presents itself, One Eye murders Barde and his mercenaries and sets off on his own, with a young boy (Maarten Stevenson) tagging along to speak on his behalf. Eager to leave Denmark behind in favour of freedom and adventure, One Eye throws in his lot with a band of Christian Vikings, who've set out on an ambitious quest to travel to Jerusalem and claim the Holy Land as their own. But the voyage to the Holy City is a difficult one, and the Vikings are met with violent resistance, forcing One Eye to rely on his talents as a warrior to protect himself and his young apprentice.

0.5/10
it would be zero, but I have to save that just incase there is something worse.
This is all about photography, think how top gear film cars, that is all this is almost 2 hours of fancy camera work on scenery, with one line of speech every 5 minutes. There isn't a huge amount of violence in it a scene every 15 minutes. The rest as I say is scenery, literally minutes and minutes of scenery where nothing happens.

The Box

Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger, delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. But, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.

1/10

Certainly not what i was expecting, pretty darn rubbish.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

It wasn't about the choice, or the aftermath in a psychological sense.
it is some odd sci-fi/ religious twist, which is just bizarre.
Should of just done psychological effects, I reckon that could of been good.

End Spoiler Alert!
