With smartphones getting bigger and screen resolutions becoming ever more dense, is it still feasible to serve a whole bunch of different image sizes on a photo sharing web site?
Keen to catch up.
Flying a kite, flea market and a pizza dinner.

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.
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.
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!
A very short post for a change.
It’s the January post. With New Year’s leftovers and family photos.

About how my "reviews" can sometimes seem unfair, when they are really not meant to be.
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.
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.
239 new photos from the past.
A trip to Berlin. Zoe turns four. A work event. Friends turning forty. Family holiday in Italy. A band reunion of sorts. Christmas and New Year's. And the usual documentation in between.

Mutoid Man are wild: wild drumming, wild bass playing, wild guitar, wild vocals. All very skillfully played in these short and entertaining arrangements.
Good to get a refresh on this classic. I certainly did not rememberwhodunnit. Maybe a slice too much tomfoolery, but otherwise a solidslasher.
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!
