🎬 undertone

Was actually quite well done with not much (effectively just one on-camera actor). But I found the plot too constructed and a little incoherent, which made it less spooky than it could’ve been.

What a bloody annoying bitch!

I found this quite entertaining, although it was a little slow to start and it’s really trying hart to be shocking. And I actually found this slightly more funny than terrifying. But it’s a good mix. And the acting was really good!

Loved the ending, which is like the reverse of Romeo and Juliet or something.

🎬 No Country for Old Men

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.This is The Big Lebowski, but in serious and suspenseful. It has a narrator, who’s also appearing in the movie, and who doesn’t know if he (still) belongs there. You have people demanding money from a guy who stumbled in...

🎬 BLOOD INCANTATION - All Gates Open: In Search of Absolute Elsewhere

Movie poster for “BLOOD INCANTATION - All Gates Open: In Search of Absolute Elsewhere”.

They showed this at the local cinema, the Atelier. I always enjoy a good studio documentation - especially one of such an interesting band and one that's as well done as this one. And I'm very glad no one fell off that roof, WTF!?

👍 Recommended!

🎬 Burn After Reading

Movie poster for “Burn After Reading”.

I wanted a Coen movie, I got a Coen movie. Absolutely hilarious. And another fantastic cast. They were all a delight to watch, but I probably liked John Malkovich's performance the most. Also loved the idea with the CIA guy reporting those summaries of what had happened. Clever and funny.

👍 Recommended!

Ja, war voll ok. Hatte ein paar gute Sprüche, Situationen und Gags in guter alter Stromberg-Manier im Programm. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

🎬 The Big Lebowski

Movie poster for “The Big Lebowski”.

Have rewatched this after a looong while. And the first time not dubbed. Still so so good and so funny. Every scene is perfect. The cast and their performances, the dialogue… One of my favourite movies of all time.

👍 Recommended!
