Hobbit - Kampf der drei Heere - Poster lang - Bilbo

Seit etwa einer Woche läuft des Hobbits dritter Teil im Kino und anlässlich der Premiere besuchten zwei Freunde und ich das Kino nicht nur für eben jenen finalen Schluss, sondern um alle drei Teile am Stück zu sehen. Das hat nicht nur den Vorteil, dass einem die Story in Gänze präsent ist sondern auch, dass man einen Gesamteindruck hat, wie … Read More

RoboCop, 2014 – ★★★½- via letterboxd

Jens Holze14. September 2014viaLetterboxdLeave a Comment

Did we need a remake of Robocop? Well, at least it’s not the most obvious choice but then again it seems like every movie ever done is one the tables of hollywood executives. The story of Police Officer Murphy who is almost killed on duty and then mo…

Guardians of the Galaxy, 2014 – ★★★★★- via letterboxd

Jens Holze5. September 2014Extern, viaLetterboxdLeave a Comment

This movie is not about deep thinking, social commentary or anything like that. But it’s ridiculously fun to watch, has a well-paced, interesting story that probably not gets too old even after watching it two or more times. It has great characters and focuses on the ones that make up the team to actually struggle with one another. There is an arc for the main protagonist (and a hint of romance) but it doesn’t distract from the group too much.

Gigantics, 1999 – ★★★★★- via letterboxd

Jens Holze27. August 2014Extern, viaLetterboxdLeave a Comment

This is by far my favourite German movie. The story is really simple: Immediately after his probation ends, Floyd decides to board a ship and to leave Hamburg for good the next morning. He and his closest friends Walter and Rico realize that they onl…

Thor: The Dark World, 2013 – ★★½- via letterboxd

Jens Holze15. August 2014Extern, viaLetterboxdLeave a Comment

The first one was kind of weak and this one is in no way stronger in my opinion. It basically has the same plotpoints (without any need for introduction), the girl’s in danger along with almost everything else because of some bullshit mcguffin that I…

00 Schneider – Im Wendekreis der Eidechse, 2013 – ★★★★- via letterboxd

Jens Holze8. August 2014Extern, viaLetterboxdLeave a Comment

Like all Helge Schneider movies this one makes no sense at all. But it’s brilliant at that. There is some kind of plot centered around a thief but it’s really secondary because if you look for a story you might not enjoy this. But there are lots of w…

Neverland, 2011 – ★★★ (contains spoilers)- via letterboxd

Jens Holze8. August 2014Extern, viaLetterboxdLeave a Comment

This review reportedly contains spoilers. Huh, did anybody ask for the origin story to Peter Pan combined with Oliver Twist? Anybody? Quick story: Peter and lost boys live in London pickpocketing for Jimmy, who looks out for the kids somehow while te…

Jobs, 2013 – ★★★½

yodahome14. Februar 2014Extern, viaLetterboxdLeave a Comment

Having read the biography of Steve Jobs I basically knew the story and I guess the movie gets it mostly right. Kutcher plays Jobs very convincing but there are problems. The choice not to look into Jobs‘ early life and not really explaining where he’s coming for example.

Das Ende des dunklen Ritters – Review

yodahome16. August 2012Filme, MeinungenLeave a Comment

Dieses ist der letzte Streich. Derzeit läuft The Dark Knight Rises noch in den Kinos, der dritte und letzte Batman-Film von Christopher Nolan und damit die Fortsetzung des wahnwitzig erfolgreichen The Dark Knight. Wir bemerken die etwas inkonsequente Benamsung, da man ja mit Batman Begins begann. Logischer wäre also z.B. Batman lasts (Batman Returns ist ja leider schon belegt) oder … Read More

Harry Potter VII – opinion and two related thoughts

yodahome30. Juli 2009life, movies, thoughtsLeave a Comment

Image by drewesque via Flickr Well, I just returned from cinema where I watched the latest installment of the Harry Potter series – known as „Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince“ in the original (=non-localized) version. I will first try to say something about the movie itself and then come to two thoughts that crossed my mind after I watched … Read More
