Cooking with style
(via TFIB)
How do you feel about roasted duck tonight? William Hereford is showing you his recipe in a new and refreshingly beautiful way. Not only does the food look stunning, but also the visuals. After watching this, I immediately went out shopping for groceries.
Bon appetite

Grace finds beauty
This is is a result of an impulse. An outcome of an an evening, where I decided to walk home instead of taking the bus. I didn’t care about the rain or the time that night. I had no plan whatsoever, I just had a feeling. I love the way everyone has their own schedule. The pizzaman contra the men in the kiosk, the couples under their umbrellas and the copenhageners on their bikes. (I apologise for the film quality)

How To Train Your Dragon
It’s great to see an animated film from DreamWorks capable of competing with Pixar or Miyazaki. Even though there still is a gap in quality.
The Town
It seems like Ben Affleck is turning into a better director than he was an actor. And he has started acting better, when he is directing himself. How that is possible is beyond me. Can’t wait to see what he does next.
Family Guy Presents: It’s a Trap
Seth Macfarlane is continuing the tradition of spoofing a Star Wars film every year. It’s not as funny as the first spoof, but this was the film with most laughs for me this year. Also check out Seth Green‘s Robot Chicken.
Shutter Island
I had a lot of minor problems with this. The exposition in the beginning really annoyed me and the film is way to long. But it is another good film from Scorsese. As always he delivers. The acting and cinematography is great and the film has a lot of depth.
Iron man 2
I think it was a weak year in the classic blockbuster department. There where no really great action film like The Dark Knight or Watchmen, but Iron man 2 was the best we got, and it’s actually pretty good.
Toy Story 3
Even though I got a bit tired of the praise it got this summer you can’t get around that it’s a really good film. As always Pixar is a safe bet and it was great to get the ending to the story.
Submarino
This film will not end up on a lot of lists because it’s a depressing danish social-realism film. Too bad. It’s excellent! Thomas Vinterberg is back with his best film since Festen. To be honest I think I might actually like this one more.
Armadillo
It’s been several years since I’ve had a danish film on my yearly list. This year I have two. Armadillo got a crazy buzz this summer which is great, but the controversy some people talked about wasn’t really there for me. A great look into the war in Afghanistan.
Inception
This film also had a crazy buzz going this summer. And it deserves it. I think Nolan will be remembered as one of this generations best directors. This proves that after The Dark Knight, the studios seems to trust him with their money, which will turn out great for us in the coming years.
The Social Network
It’s been years since I’ve had a cinema experience like this! Thanks to Aaron Sorkin the story is interesting, with some great dialogue. The music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross sets the mood. It was so good I had to buy the soundtrack on my phone on the way home from the cinema. And the cinematography is mind blowing. I can’t praise this film enough. Oh and by the way: The twins are one actor! What?!
2010 has come to an end, and the award season is beginning. This is a great time to be a film fan. (It’s also time to make the yearly top 10 list of my favorite films.) When doing a top 10 list, you of course have to set the rules. For my list I like to go by the release date from IMDB. Which means many of the films are not out in Denmark yet. I have yet to see Black Swan, True Grit, The Next Three Days, 127 Hours, The King’s Speech and The Fighter. I expect 3-4 of these to end up on my final list. (And I have properbly missed another great film or two.)

A fresh start
Hi everyone. First and foremost Happy New Year. It’s been a while since we served you anything delicious on the blog, but don’t worry, the blog is not dead, sick or anything like that. We simply have been to busy lately. Nevertheless I promise, that the forthcoming time we have a great bunch of stuff ready for you.
One of the things, besides work, that has taking my time, is HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”. I was lucky to see the first episode in high def in Cinemateket. The Pilot was directed by Martin Scorsese and is the most expensive pilot episode produced in television history. The great acting, the story, the costume design amazed me, but also how digital art has evolved the last couple of years:
Before I saw this clip, I had no idea it was all digital. Sad? Good? Obviously impressive.
Production for the series’s 80-minute pilot cost 18 million dollar, and the estimated costs for the first season to range upwards of 65 million dollar.
I also love the intro! The story summed up in less than 1:30 minutes while introducing the main character, Nucky Thompson, ”ruler of the boardwalk.”
