Ok documentary. Made me want to watch even more of his movies again.

We were in a mood for Tarantino and decided to watch his debut. And itwas kind of nice to watch this right after The Hateful Eight, as Idiscovered that they share quite a few similarities.

Rewatching this after a lot of years, this was a great refresher. It’sstill his weakest movie, but everything else but a waste of time.Especially enjoyed Harvey Keitel’s performance. And that credit-scoreCoconut song.

A Tarantino film is always a guarantee to entertain me. This one mightbe not have a satisfying ending as his other movies, but nevertheless,it’s great. Love Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack!

With Ukraine so much in the news, I started listening to Jinjer again more. Hope they are well! Love this EP!

I come right out and say it: this is a lot like “The Big Lebowski” – butnot as good. The film was too long. That’s mainly because the story wastoo confusing to me to actually really care about what’s going on.

But individual scenes were very funny and enjoyable. Loved theperformances of Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin and Katherine Waterston.Actually I liked much about how the movie was done otherwise. Butunfortunately, I found the parts greater than the whole.

Oh my god. This is a weird one. After initial doubts in the beginning, Iended up really enjoying this one. Beyond the brutal and disgustingparts is this actually rather loving relationship with the “father”. Iwas constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what’s going to happennext.

Visually great. And Agathe Rousselle was amazing!

I’m sometimes reluctant to watch older movies (it’s from 1974). But Ishouldn’t have had this concerns before deciding to watch this. Justoverall great whodunnit fun, with great acting. And pretty hilarious,too.

I don’t think I have anything good to say about this one. A combinationof kitschy and advertising-like visuals and a weak story with borderlineannoying music. I’m sorry.

I didn’t expect this title to kind-of refer to my experience with it.And then I fell down the stairs to the basement when I went to see it atthe Souterrain cinema. Well, there was no blood actually, but I felt the effects of that fallfor over a week. Given that the first sce...

A little update about my mood and why I haven’t posted in a while.

The gun fight in the middle of the night is a great start into the storyabout this assassin brother duo. While their quest is already gripping,this movie is as much about relationships and life in general. And thiscombination made it special and a very enjoyable watch.

This film will hopefully also make you appreciate how much morecomfortable life is in the 21st century (in the so called “developed”world anyway).

Wow! I’m going to experiment with this a little. I already created this very post using Gitpod. With the iPad (and the Planck keyboard, of course).

This was a weird one. For me, this was partly (and maybe involuntarily)too cute and/or funny, which I felt was not fitting to the overallrather dark – almost menacing – atmosphere. Which I liked. Just like theacting and the whole setting. Hm. A “mixed review” I guess.

Getting a “Accessory Unavailable: The attached accessory uses too much power.” warning? Here's the fix!

Some proper old school sci-fi. With fucker Charlton Heston. I think Icould recognise the influence this had on other movies. So I think itdeserves its “classic” status. Loved the end: “You’ve go to tell them!Soylent Green is…”.

But man, the scene between Thorn and Shirl in the bedroom during the“furniture”-party… what was that? Lol.

Yep, good entertainment. Funny, good music, and a great cast. I foundthe storyline sometimes a little bit all over the place, which is my onecomplaint. And I would’ve actually loved to hear/read more of that finalarticle he wrote for Rolling Stone.

New challenge. New possibilities.

Having seen “An Impossible Project” at the Metropol on Wednesday made me realise again how much I like going to the cinema. At least to those of the little, artsy kind. Like the “Filmkunstkinos” here in Düsseldorf.

The whole experience is just so much richer than at home: you get to see the film on a big screen in a dark room, with loud sound and without distractions. It’s much more immersive and I’m always much more into the story being told.

Plus, the locations here in town are all very cosy and inspiring. You get to smell the popcorn. They sell great beer. And you get new ideas for what to watch next. And usually those cinemas are frequented by interesting folks, too.
