This might have been a bit too long, but other than that, there’snothing not to like. Another murder mystery, that could have only beensolved by the great Hercule Poirot. The funny dialog and quirkycharacters make this worthwhile alone already. And as a whole Icertainly can not not recommend it.
This is one of those movies where actually not that much is happening.Like an anti-blockbuster. It’s subtle, a little philosophical. And allabout the conversations and characters. It’s funny and serious at thesame time. With wonderful performances of all the actors! First andforemost of course the one of Harry Dean Stanton. But it also remindedme how much I enjoy David Lynch as an actor.
Beautiful!
Yep, I liked this! It was partly quite disgusting – more so than most horror flics I’d say – but I won’t complain about that. But it had great humour and a pretty original story I’d say. And it has this meta level and “maybe play with the timeline/references to the past” thing going on (which you only really notice at the end and in the credits), which I don’t know if this made a whole lot of sense, but I’d try to find out and watch the movie again. Bonus point for Chelsea Wolfe soundtrack.
The Planck is the only computer keyboard I use now. I do not want to – nor can I – use a standard keyboard anymore. My MacBook Pro’s keyboard that I’ve used for years? Of no use: the staggered keys, the size (way too big!), the low key travel, the non-customisability. Everything’s alien now.
I recently dusted off an old Raspberry Pi and installed Samba to serve all the movies we have on two external hard drives on our local network.
Meh. I know this is a cult classic – and that’s why I wanted to see it –but I didn’t like it that much. I appreciate the story, but I felt theexecution was lagging. I couldn’t easily follow the plot. After readingthe Wikipedia article on it, I noticed that I think I understood most ofwhat happened. But certainly not everything, and it was more work thanentertainment.
After the two previous not-that-great instalments of this franchise,this was again very good! Jason is just evil, menacing and capable, thekills are much more creative again, it has suspense, great stunts andoverall fantastic humour. On to part 5…
A beautiful film! I would’ve probably liked this even better as a teen.But I’ve just now watched this. Still somehow things felt somewhatfamiliar.
I did only see the German dubbed version, so I think it’d be worth it toat some point see the original.

At first I thought: ah, this seems a little too silly and old-school; doI really want to watch this? But then it convinced me more and more.
It’s pretty scary stuff. Plus super-violent and splattery. And thatending!! Old-school effects galore!
Remarkable film. Didn’t regret this at all!
Maybe towards the end, it’s a bit longer than necessary. But other thanthat I was again very well entertained for almost 3 hours.
The splatter is just so over the top it’s ridiculous! And so much fun.Despite the serious topic. Poah, and that first Mandingo fight scene inMonsieur Candie’s mansion is almost unbearably violent and cruel.Justified IMO, but bloody hell!
Acting, script, pace, etc. all perfect. Very satisfying revenge film.
I’m so into this album again – or even still. It’s fascinating to me, how you can do that much with only three instruments (at a time). And then the vocals add another layer. So, I’m really enjoying discovering and analysing all the different parts. It just keeps giving. And TOOL’s great live performance certainly played a huge part in making me dive into this again.
Very well deserved that this is the first album to appear a second time in this list.
Mal wieder mit dem Kind einen Film geguckt. Dieser ist sehr zu empfehlenals Einstieg: keine bedrohlichen Szenen, nicht zu lang, es sind ehereinzelne Episoden in einem Film – aber mit einem leicht zu verstehendemübergeordneten Thema.
Mit fast fünf hat sie die ganze Zeit aufmerksam zugeguckt und oft auchgelacht. Und auch für Erwachsene ist der durchaus unterhaltsam.
This was more of a dumb-phone than a smart-phone. The supernatural neverexplained, unnecessarily violent in places, constructed jump-scares, andkid-characters that weren’t believable. I don’t know why Ethan Hawkeeven “starred” in this. It’s also a weird mix of some highschool movie,“Silence of the lambs”-style thriller and “the sixth sense”. But inboring. I’m sorry!
