Starting A New Kirby Project

Today, I started a new project with Kirby CMS. (No, it’s not my personal site. That one’s still brewing…) Kirby is a lightweight, no-fuzz content management system (CMS) created by Bastian Allgeier, which works well for projects of any size. It is easy to install and amazing...

🎬 Old

Movie poster for “Old”.

I found this a little kitschy at times. And the subject matter couldhave been explored more deeply in my opinion. But otherwise an enjoyablemovie with an interesting idea and good execution.

🎬 Prince of Darkness

Movie poster for “Prince of Darkness”.

I like Carpenter-films. This one is no exception. From the atmosphere tothe soundtrack to how it’s made: all top-notch. Where it’s a bit lackingfor me, is the story itself and the action. It didn’t captivate me asmuch as his other films did. And I don’t know why that is. Maybe I wassimply a little too tired when I watched this.

🎬 The Fly

Movie poster for “The Fly”.

Wow! That is a classic for a reason. I haven’t seen this in a very longtime and now had a blast watching this at the cinema. It’s suspenseful,shocking, well-written, well-played, well-filmed, and great specialeffects and costumes. Highly recommended!

🎬 Enemy

Movie poster for “Enemy”.

This drew me in right from the start. Suspenseful, mysterious, eerielighting, menacing soundtrack. And a Jake Gyllenhaal in top form. Andall of this told in a well-paced and never boring 90 minutes. We didwatch the beginning again, right after it ended. Plus a YouTube analysisafterwards – because we can‘t say we understood this on our own on thefirst watch. But a second watch would certainly not be a waste of time,anyway.

🎬 Inside

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

Ok, Willem Dafoe is once again great here. And it’s an interesting and promising new take on Cast Away. And it’s sprinkled throughout with seemingly exciting hints. But then nothing really comes out of them. And that goes on for too long. But oh boy, that one bathroom scene – then cut: to dog food! Disgust-master‘s finest. And I have to live with that now.

How To README

Solid documentation of a project is important, especially if you’re working in a team. When all information about how to install, deploy, or contribute to a project is buried in only one person’s brain, you’re in trouble once you have to make changes and that person is on va...

🎧 War Moans – Mutoid Man

Mutoid Man are wild: wild drumming, wild bass playing, wild guitar, wild vocals. All very skillfully played in these short and entertaining arrangements.

🎬 Scream

Movie poster for “Scream”.

Good to get a refresh on this classic. I certainly did not rememberwhodunnit. Maybe a slice too much tomfoolery, but otherwise a solidslasher.

🎬 Hellbound: Hellraiser II

Movie poster for “Hellbound: Hellraiser II”.

Hellraiser? Hell, yes!

Sure, the effects might partly be a bit dated; but that does not at allimpact this succession in any negative way. Even more than the firstpart, this is a truly evil film. Certainly not a horror movie forbeginners. I don‘t know why I haven‘t seen them before. I missed out!
