Instrumental post rock from New Zealand. Very atmospheric. Great to work to (as a lot of instrumental albums). My current favourite from that album is “Everything All of the Time” – that drum beat is exactly my kind of groove.

Good dialogs and good acting. But unsurprising and very conventional. Was ok.

Had its moments and good ideas. But ultimately I found this unconvincing and excessively cruel.

About the history of Polaroid. A lot of great info and anecdotes about instant photography. Nice animations included. An hour and fifteen minutes very well spent!

Kann dieses Buch nur empfehlen. Auch wenn man sich – wie ich – mit den meisten Themen schon einige Male befasst hat. Aber es ist immer gut zu wissen, dass sich einige Leute mit Themen auseinandersetzen, wie wir als Gesellschaft in Zukunft leben wollen und könnten. Und ...

The true story of British intelligence whistleblower Katharine Gun who—prior to the 2003 Iraq invasion—leaked a top-secret NSA memo exposing a joint US-UK illegal spying operation against members of the UN Security Council. The memo proposed blackmailing member states into voting for war.

A well-made movie about a topic I’m interested in and about a case I wasn’t aware of. Top!

What is this? 70s-style hard rock? Anyway – I like it! Great guitar riffs, catchy – although often long – songs, and – guess what? – very nice drumming.Every song is strong, but “Black Funeral” might be my favourite, if only for those amazing drum fills in the pre-chorus.

I loved “Parasite” by Bong Joon-ho. This was not as good.

Still very good, though, with interesting (moral) questions raised about disabilities, family bonds, the work of the police, and the blaming of presumed murder suspects.

My only negative point is actually, that is was a bit too long. (And maybe I didn’t get into it as much, because we watched the dubbed German version, which I am no longer used to, and which irritates me.)

How about some mainstream comedy for a change?

This was funny! But not so good that I need to watch it again. But maybe part 2? ;-)

This was ok.

Individual scenes were certainly nicely done. But I often had the feeling that I had seen everything before.

It had too many jump-scares, which drives me nuts.

November had a Friday the 13th. I interpreted this as a sign to watch another horror classic I have never seen before.

Overall it was an ok movie. I’d like to note that the murders in this were indeed pretty brutal – still by today’s standards, I’d say. In this regard it was probably indeed ahead of its time.

I never knew it had Kevin Bacon in it.

This was great! Super funny. But also serious and sad.

Great dialogues, and great characters. There also was often this suspense in many scenes where you wouldn’t know what would happen next.

I found the full uncut version DVD on a flea market recently. I don’t think I have seen this version before. And to be honest, I actually don’t care very much about that sort of thing. I just thought it would be nice to rewatch this again after 20 years or so.

I still appreciate this movie for its original story and style that influenced so many Zombie movies after it. Basically, every season of “The Walking Dead” works like this movie. Minus the humour. And that’s another aspect I like about this film.

But man, this was looong! And the sound was bad. The Zombie-makeup was just comical, too. And it’s sexist.

Anyhow, I still enjoyed watching this classic again. I just wouldn’t recommend to watch this full uncut version.

Been listening to a bit of The Haunted lately. Mainly the “The Dead Eye” record. Just some beautiful guitar work on this one. And great vocals (as is normal for Dolving). Plus, I sometimes need a bit of Per Møller Jensen’s drumming.

Not super-logical. Was ok, with a few good scenes. But not really recommended.

I like movies that play in a single room – like a play at a theatre. It’s a pretty morbid play. And pretty clever. Reminded me of Columbo at times. Bonus points for making it look like a one-shot movie. Thumbs up!

A rewatch. First time was in the cinema, where this movie is much more impressive of course. But I liked it a second time on the TV, too.

Convincing story. Amazing futuristic and dystopian world. Probably would watch a third time at some point.

One more horror classic. One more great film!

Reminded me of Alien in a few ways.

Great special effects. Great set. Great story. Great acting.

My second Roy Andersson movie.

He has a unique style. And I think I still need to get used to it. Nevertheless, this was entertaining with it’s dry humor. I probably didn’t fully “get” this film, though.

Another classic – from 1968! – I’ve never seen before. It’s deservedly highly respected! This must have inspired so many horror-movies after it. I can’t recall an earlier (horror) movie with that “secret backdoor” element, the “nosy neighbour cliché”, the “is the protagonist going crazy or is she right?”-storyline, or that “look through the door spy”-shot. And there are probably even more firsts in there.
