🎬 Endless Night

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
Hm… I liked the characters and dialogues for the most part. But the build-up was way too long, leaving me questioning if this indeed is a crime/mystery movie. Meh. The house is very cool, though!
🎬 Tremors

As I hoped, this was a good fit for my slightly hungover self. A simpleplot, no surprises and some good old-school special effects.
But it was very obvious and (because of that) a bit unintentionallyfunny: I thought a lot “say what!” during the dialogues. And the actingwas all so keen, over the top, and the characters were all so damninvolved in their quest and full of clichés, putting a smile on my face.But the smile was only short-lived, because you know it’s really seriousand you want them to succeed.

Flop Off
🎬 Little Miss Sunshine

A great movie! I love a good dialogue and this has plenty of that. Plus,well thought-out characters, very well played. And it has Steve Carellin it!
Maybe the ending could have had more bite to it (I don’t even know whatI mean exactly), but other than that, this is very much recommended!
🎬 Timecrimes

This was quite clever. And funny. I enjoy a good time travel movie. Notthe best of its kind probably, but definitely an enjoyable watch!
🎬 Die Hard

Persuaded Nicole to (re-)watch this with me. I still found thisentertaining. And it brought nostalgic feelings back.
I watched this for the first time in English. And I must wonder why –why??? – they didn’t put in just a little effort into making the Germandialogue realistic.
Everyone is so damn cool in this. But overall, a solid movie, althoughthis is not the kind of (action) film I enjoy all that much anymore.
🎬 The Humans

I generally enjoy a good “Kammerspiel”. But I found this to be ratherboring. I’m sorry.
🎬 Call Me by Your Name

This was a remarkably written movie. Very sensitive and probably quiteaccurate to be honest. And I noticed I wasn’t quite used to seeing gaycontent. Good movie overall. Would have been better, if I didn’t findmost main characters so unlikeable.

🎥 Booster Run
Riding through Düsseldorf Bilk to and from the doctor where I got my Covid booster. Since it was during daylight hours, I thought I’d record another one of these POV cycling videos. And this time I did my little commentary in English. And it’s only half as long with 16 minutes.
For this recording “Sharpening” was set to “Low” on the GoPro. And I think that is too low. I think I’ll prefer a little “too sharp” over “not sharp enough and then needing to do that in post”. I also only uploaded a HD 1080p version this time. And I might just record in that resolution in camera. 4K results in such big files. And I’m again figuring out encoding settings and formats. And that seems like a science to me; maybe I should just use YouTube.
