Miami Vice by Michael Mann

Miami Vice is a beautifully directed piece based on the two detective characters Crockett and Tubbs from the 1980's action drama.

The music is skilfully blended with the artistic portray of the two undercover agents in the midst of Miami's drug business.

It's dangerous. It's beautiful. It's another exceptional delivery from Michael Mann, mastermind behind movies like Heat and Collateral.

Car patching

I like the first picture even though the quality is not that good and you have absolutely no idea what's going on; it was dark and I used a mobile phone. Looks like Jenny is trashing the car...

Well, she's not - just patching the car, replacing the windshield wipers. You haven't seen the manual by the way?!

Babel by Alejandro González Iñárritu

Babel is a thought-provoking creation based on three distinctly separate stories taking place in different parts of the world, on three individual continents.

Between the stories leap thin lines of cause and action, brought into being by human events at a certain time in space.

It's a beautiful package, masterly pieced together by Alejandro González Iñárritu.

A city full of nude ballerinas

I have seen them dancing on rough brick walls, in dark gloomy concrete tunnels, on facades, on all sorts of ordinary everyday objects. Sometimes alone, sometimes dancing in a small group.

Is it art? Well, I file it under art...

More about the dancing queens can be found here; an interview in Sydsvenskan covering Mr Ballerina and his creations.

Traditional Christmas shopping

This year's finding during me and my sister's traditional Christmas shopping is a 'three in one' offer; it's due to a misspelled price marker. In English it would be something like "some cotton, a chemist, and a reindeer, you get it all for only 20 SEK".

For some reason the tradition is to shop in Malmö. Don't know why, it's just tradition. However, instead of the traditional Chinese cuisine we decided to go for Thai food at Möllevångstorget after a tip from Per. The tip was Krua-Thai, a Thai restaurant that's definitely worth a visit since they do dishes Thai-style upon request; a little bit spicier...

Lemon ice cream at Krua-Thai. Served in a lemon of course. Mm...

Future megatrends

Erik, visionary colleague, researcher and collector of future trends and ideas, has written a report on future megatrends.

Much of the information in the report is, according to the author himself, based on his own thoughts around the subject taking shape in various blog posts at Framtidstanken.

Emanuel Sidea at Ekonominyheterna has written an article about the report.

Dumplings by Fruit Chan

The temptation of rejuvenation is brilliantly and provocatively portrayed in Fruit Chan's colorful and horrific tale Dumplings, a ninety-minute masterpiece based on an initial shorter version part of Three...Extremes.

The movie's stylish and beautifully composed shootings are mixed with the most exquisite piano music.

It's true visual art from Fruit Chan, combined with the most atrocious dough bundles you could ever imagine.
