🎧 Marked For Death – Emma Ruth Rundle
🎬 Next Door

What a morning! Twist after twist after twist.
Nicely filmed, great acting with fantastic dialogue.
My only nitpick is that I somehow found Daniel’s voice to sound somewhat hyper-clear/-real which made it sound a little unnatural.
But overall, this was great!
🔗 May – August 2021 – Daniel Pietzsch’s Photo Journal
Finally, after a year, I made an entry to the photojournal again.
Our three weeks summer holiday, weekend camping trips, some bike riding and other activities in Düsseldorf.
🎬 His House

Grief can be a witch – or a curse. Whatever it’s called, you have toopen yourself up (quite literally) to get rid of it.
The story and topics are important and interesting ones. And overallthis is well made. But it didn’t really grab me for some reason. Maybebecause sometimes it felt to me that the delivering of the horrors wereoverdone – especially the ending. The special effects were sometimesmore of a distraction.
But overall a good film, with quite a few good scenes. I would watchRemi Weekes’ next one.
🎬 Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

Production-wise, this is probably the best part of the Friday 13thseries. Camera work, lighting, sound, are all at least one level up fromthe usual production quality.
It starts very strong in my opinion. But then it goes into thissmall-American-town kind of vibe, which I don’t know, if it fits. Onitself this is a solid film, but in the series, this is the odd one out(so far – haven’t seen “X”). The special effects à la “The Thing” or“Alien” are totally my thing, and were probably the best thing about it.The characters were a bit too “Police Academy”-ish, with The Duke beingborder-line annoying.
In conclusion: a solid movie, but I feel like this would’ve been betteras a one-off rather than being part of the Jason-franchise.
🎬 Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

This is more like “Jason takes the ferry” – because Manhattan content isindeed a bit thin. Anyhow, I liked this for the most part. Certainly oneof the better ones in this series. This has quite a bit of humour. Ienjoyed the stunts. The cheesy soundtrack, NY clichés and a nice guitarscene are not to be discounted, either. Solid!
🎬 Glass Onion

I’m probably wrong about this one. Because I found this to be so bad, I question my own judgement, given all those other overwhelmingly positive reviews about it. But having been through it, I now also question my own favourable review of its predecessor “Knives Out”.
To begin with, this is wayyy too long. It tries very hard being trendy. And funny. Well, I didn’t laugh. It was just silly. Most folks’ acting got on my nerves. The story is pretty constructed. It wasn’t suspenseful. I didn’t like a lot about the filming and editing itself. The ending is just ridiculous. I’m sorry, but It’s been an eye roller for me. And again, I’m probably wrong. Maybe I just didn’t get it.

🎬 The Cleaners

Well, merry Christmas! This is such a downer!
I think this was very well made and I felt it was nuanced enough toshine a light on opposites sites of what can be a very complicatedtopic.
I can recommend this, if you want to be informed about this topic. Justdon’t expect to not feel depressed afterwards.

🎬 The Nightmare Before Christmas

Lovingly made. Good soundtrack. But not quite my cup of frog’s breath.
🎬 Marriage Story

My kind of movie! A story that could well be true. Great dialogue,perfectly delivered (Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are just 👌),lots of attention to detail, interestingly filmed, great charactersthroughout, funny, heartbreaking. Remarkable front to back!
