Skenbart - en film om tåg (2003)

Also knows as 'Illusive Tracks' this one is simply delicious. I had no idea Swedes can have such a good sense of humor. It is amazing how much timing is important to make a good comedy and the actors take their time to get the rhythm just right. The plot is about a train ride from Stockholm for Berlin right after the war and about doing good and being idealistic again. Lots happen during that night. There are no characters, no deep imagery but Peter Dalle's dialog is brilliant for the context. It could be a sort of slapstick with Wittgenstein as a guiding idea. You'll love it.

X2 or Xmen 2 (2003)

One thing I learned from this film: even in the year the action takes places, even in a school for (presumably progressive) mutants...well... bier is NOT allowed in school. Meaning in the kitchen. - Logan (the guy with special steel claws coming out from the back of his hands) asks for a bier and a student (able the cool-freeze stuff) is utterly surprised, This is a school, said he implying 'you won't find bier miles around, and I realize neither the school nor the teenager are European. I liked the transformations and the fights, as well as the way various 'powers' combined. Most of all, the Magneto demonstration as well as his assistant transformations. PS: Is it possible that Jean simply died? This smells like a followup. Indeed...in 2006
