Thor: Ragnarok / Justice League / Crisis on Earth-X

I’m currently on a vacation at home – or as it called now: staycation – and on Monday I had lunch at one of my favourite Italian restaurants (Actually, it’s an Italian deli that also serves warm food and it’s soo good!). Upon driving home in the early afternoon I thought to myself: what a…

Ghostbusters (2016) – Starring Chris Hemsworth

So, everyone and their dog has written or made a reaction or review video about the first trailer and then the international trailer of Ghostbusters (2016) a.k.a. “The Female Ghostbusters”. If you haven’t seen them, here they are: Pretty much everything was criticised. From the awful jokes (slime in cracks, wigs), the parody-like elements (Yay,…

Honig im Kopf

The title literally means “honey in the head” and this is how a main character is describing how Alzheimer’s feels like (an analogous pun would be that the brain gets jammed). Honig im Kopf is a german Dramedy movie I saw in the theatre today. I was expecting a comedy with some melancholy and while…

3D, Ticket Prices, …

I hate 3D. In the real worlds it’s somewhat OK so you don’t crash into the car in front of you. But in the theatres it’s just a pointless rip-off of which I hope it’s going to die again – and soon. Movies in Technicolor and with sound – that were revolutions in the theatres….

The Hunger Games

Synopsis: The United States of America have long been gone. In its place, between the Appalachians and the Rockies, is now the country of Panem, consisting of 12 districts and the Capitol. Many years ago the 13 districts rose against the Capitol and paid a high price for it. The riot-leading district was completely annihilated….

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

I haven’t been much to the movies lately because I don’t care much about most of the recent movies. Or I get them on DVD when Amazon.co.uk is bargaining them at 5 pounds. And I was never really interested in the classic style horror movies. But this I’m going to watch when it hits the…

Clash of the Titans (3D)

The “adventure” 3D is over for me for now. I my opinion it adds nothing to the experience of watching a movie or enhances it somehow.. In contrast to well-used special effects I don’t get the feeling that the movie is getting better just because there’s a depth perception now and then. But now to…

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

The last time I watched such an awful movie in the theatre, was Beowulf. And even then I didn’t have that many facepalms as this time. Basically everything was abysmal: The script itself, the dialogues and sometimes even the special effects. What does it say about a movie when a TV production like Xena: Warrior…

Avatar

Yesterday evening I was in Avatar. I don’t think you have heard of it, it’s a little small-budget indie movie that only runs in arthouse cinemas. Or something like that. Sorry, I am not overly impressed. Sure the 3D stuff looked fabulous – for about 15 – 20 minutes. Then I got used to it…
