🎬 Lucy

Puh! I’m not quite sure if this is meant as a parody. If it is: ok, but it’s really over the top with lots of CGI and unnecessary action. I don’t know. A weird one.
🎬 The Teachers’ Lounge

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
A fantastic story (basically) about a teacher – who seems to be the only sane adult at that school – get singled out and blamed for what’s wrong at a school. It’s tragic and Leonie Benesch plays this absolutely brilliantly. The other cast is fantastic, too. So, I liked this a lot, and for some reason I thought this could have been longer and not be so open-ended.

🎬 Halloween

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
I'm not too much convinced about the premise: that Laurie – 40 years later – is still obsessed with Michael, and how he escapes (of course!) exactly on Halloween. And then it all peaks in this Home-Alone-ish finale.
But the suspense and slasher-action, the visuals, the soundtrack, the cast, is pretty good, I must say. So I still ended up well entertained.
🎬 First Blood

Rambo just wanted to have lunch in that little town after he found out his comrade had recently died. And then he got persecuted and things escalated.
This really is a great movie, and I always think it has way more depth than its reputation might suggest. The action is great though.
ASN.1 Comparison
My daily work involves episodes of the men who stare at goats bytes. Often its not one bunch of bytes, it’s two. And I need to compare them. That means in two levels. First in structure, second in content. A normal byte comparewon’t do in such cases. I’ve written a lot of tooling for my every day life ever since. Also an ASN.1 viewer and editor. I thought about extending one of the exiting tools, but the job to do is comparison and I have a tool that I like to use for that job: Beyond Compare

🎬 Dead Man

Johnny Depp as a wounded/dead man still walking. Surreal, dreamy, funny, great acting. And the soundtrack is especially noteworthy: it's just Neil Young and his electric guitar, and it all sounds like he's improvising live to the movie. Just great.

🎬 Black Bear

Still don’t know what’s going on (and that’s part of the fun). Still very entertaining. Still like this very much!

🎧 Nightmare Logic – Power Trip
🎧 Axe To Fall – Converge
For some reason, this is the album from their discography that I had been drawn to first. And I absolutely love it!
Converge were so impressive live a few weeks back, I had to get more into them. And it’s absolutly rewarding once you do. So many interesting ideas and songs on this album. Plus the musicianship is top notch. And that sound!
The whole thing is so damn heavy! And in a different way than I’m used to from - say - Death Metal. A ferocious steamroller.
