Just incredible. And tragic.
🎬 The Alpinist
Websites and blogs of people that attended a Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf.
🎬 The Tenant
I thought this looks very good, has good atmosphere, has humor, and throughout quite a few good moment. The end is great, too. But overall, this didn’t entertain me all that much. I found it too long and his co-workers super annoying (without adding much to the plot).
🎬 Repulsion
I think this must be one of those movies that introduced certain scenes and props. Liked it, especially how everything escalates in the end and how the increasing phobia is played by Catherine Deneuve.
🎬 Fall
Two women and their breasts get into a precarious situation high above the ground. It gets points for its vertigo-inducing scenes (although, too much CGI), the suspense and that plot twist. But otherwise it's a bit of an eye-roller.
🎬 Curious Tobi and the Treasure Hunt to the Flying Rivers
A wonderful adventure film. Perfect for with your 6-year old. Zoe liked it. Everybody liked it.
Unfortunately, we had to cancel our gig in Wuppertal this Friday due to illness.
🎬 Barbie
Come on Barbie, let’s go party! And what a fun party this is! It deals very well with “the Barbie topic” as well as societal themes, too. But overall, it’s a an amusing film with a gimmicky set and great characters. Which are brilliantly portrayed by the cast. Watching this only once is not Kenough.
🎬 Bloodsport
What can I say? It was great fun to watch this again with a bunch of my friends. And I would do it again.
🎬 Hereditary
This is so evil and dark. This time I wasn’t quite in the right setting, but it still gripped me once again. It’s so well filmed; the audio is great. I just feel like I don’t quite get all the symbolism, which really only is the main topic at the end. But man, the last 15 minutes is just pure horror.
🎬 Top Gun: Maverick
This was better than the original. The action is ridiculously good. It’s still an American navy though. But I like how it relates to the original and that it at the same time doesn’t take itself too seriously. And again watched this in great company (with commentary) which made this all the more enjoyable.
🎬 Team America: World Police
Honestly, this is pretty great! It gets enough points for how this is made with marionettes. Totally over the top (or is it? ;)) and totally entertaining. America, fuck yeah!
🎬 Top Gun
I really had lots of fun watching this. If you have the right company, don’t take it seriously, it’s awesome. It’s in some way its own parody. And the action is indeed great I must say. Everything else is pretty cheesy. U-S-A, U-S-A!
🎬 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.
🎬 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
Great riffs, powerful vocals, raw sound, and all killers no fillers. Thrash!!!
