Maybe if you manage to sympathise with the protagonist, you will feel different about this. But I didn’t, and so I found this pretty boring.
The end was really unexpected, though (which is a plus in my book).
This website has a new page where you can read about what's currently going on in my life.
Wow. I wasn’t prepared for this much emotion. Much respect Mr. Villeneuve, what a beautiful film! Visually, sonically, emotionally. And the story really comes together nicely in the end. And Amy Adams plays her role so brilliantly! I could easily watch this again once I'm prepared for another onslaught of sadness.
Another accident happened: I broke my arm while hiking.
If you see past the partly questionable acting, this is a lot of fun. Quirky, gory, funny with a hint of seriousness and menace. Effects were great! I’m not sure if I like running and talking zombies, but I enjoyed this overall.
This one makes you think. There’s a lot going on, and I felt like it wants to say a lot. A bit too much maybe. I found his a bit long, yet still interesting. I enjoyed Force Majeure and especially Triangle of Sadness more.
Violent and vulgar. Cheap and cheesy. Underwhelming and unworthy.
In the beginning, this had me excited to see where this is going. But then it’s a lot of the same throughout the film without much progression. But maybe that’s the point!? I don’t know. It’s indeed insanely well acted and very funny at times. And it’s certainly quite unique in how it’s filmed. Maybe this needs a rewatch.
This was a wild cruise! An a damn entertaining one! Nothing too subtle going on: just bunch of filthy rich idiots getting what they deserve. Muahahaha. The captain’s dinner is incredible. With Refused’s "New Noise" as the perfect Soundtrack. In den Wolken!
The music section for the most part now features the Bandcamp embed instead of the one from Spotify. I find this to be much better, because you can listen to a whole album, even without account. And I actually prefer Bandcamp and have been using it more and more lately.
Uff, it’s been a week already, since I had a great day with Florian at Zeche Zollverein in Essen – photographing and talking. He has the evidence over on his fantastic photo blog:
Haven’t seen this in a long time. Was inspired to rewatch it by apodcast episode about it. Again liked it a lot. It’s remarkable, howwell this has aged in my opinion. The dialogue, the filming; thesupposed crime is actually pretty violent (you don’t see it, but theytalk about it). It’s an all around well-rounded affair. And it'sprobably worth another rewatch given all the little details in it.
Not Jarmusch’s best film, but entertaining none the less. RobertoBenigni was the best in this one.
Trying not to fall behind more than one year.
Panoramic summer impressions.
Lovely little episode-movie. Great humour (oh, the scene, where she’strying to make him laugh!), choreography (the plane in the window in thefirst shot of the second episode), visuals and soundtrack!
Their new album. This band really became a favourite during the last year or so. This output again immediately puts a smile on my face. So much fun playing and singing going on. An authentic sound. So good. Need to see them live!
For some reason I wanted to listen to this classic a while back. Still regularly putting this on.
It’s not far from Mutoid Man to Converge. And then their latest album is a collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe!? Sign me up! This seems to be atypical, but I like this a lot. A great album front to back!
It’s the month of July.
Two parties, some rare visitors, a camping trip, a Krimidinner, and some horse riding.
I think I have a soft spot for those old Italian horror film. The setdesign, the make up, the fantastic old school effects, the music, theacting, the not-taking-themselves-to-seriously. Good stuff, in my humbleopinion.
This could have been something. The Brood is really quite terrifying.But it didn‘t really came into action all that often. Instead, the moviespend a lot of time with slow-paced dialogue. And I think I didn‘treally get what the ending was hinting at.
I thought there was a lot of good stuff in here: foremost thePumpkinhead monster itself – but also the visuals in general. Thecharacters are good too, it even has some well thought out dramaelements. But in the end the sum of its parts didn‘t really add up to awell rounded movie. Was still entertaining, though.
The story is pretty conventional. But I was in the mood for that. Hassome cool effects and is fast-paced and entertaining.
A totally fine movie. Zoe liked it, but in my opinion it’s not the mostappropriate film for a five year old due to quite a few threateninggestures, themes and scenes.
Kurzweiliges Buch über viele typische Denkfehler. Viele kannte ich schon mit Namen, einige ohne Namen, und einige waren mir so explizit neu.
Aufgrund der Menge an Denkfehlern (=Kapitelanzahl) bleibt nicht alles beim ersten Lesen hängen. Das Buch kann man sich aber gut in den Schrank als Referenz stellen.
On Sunday, June 25th 2023, we were involved in a car crash on the Autobahn. While our camper is beyond repair, we were very lucky and escaped with only minor injuries.
Having just been to Bruges, it seemed fitting to watch In Bruges. I canconfirm it’s not a shithole. Fuckin‘ Bruges. That’s my kind of fuckin’film: quirky characters of a shady „occupation“, a bizarre yet coherentplot, with serious and funny elements, and overall very entertaining.All in just over 100 minutes.
Of course, Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic. And it is visually actuallypretty sweet. But oh man, it’s just 3 hours of absurdities. Way over thetop. Not really my thing.
Compared to Ana Lily Amirpour‘s other films, this was lacking. Somehow the setting and vibe didn’t get me as much. Worse dialogue, and too long. And I have to admit that I find realistic cannibal scenes quite repelling. I’d rather happily rewatch her other movies.
