NOT. SATISFIED. GRRRRR.

Terra
If you only see one film this year, see Battle for Terra. We saw it ages ago at the Fantasy Film Fest, and I can easily say it is one of the best sci-fi films I have ever seen, as well as one of the best films in general. It’s …
Watchmen
I hated 300 with a passion. It was one of the dumbest and most offensive films of all time. And Zack Snyder’s mediocre-to-crappy remake of Dawn of the Dead was nothing like Romero’s masterpiece. So I have some trouble confessing that I actually rather liked Watchmen. It was a good …
A Short Thought About Lost (With Spoiler)
WHY IN THE NAME OF DOG CAN’T THESE PEOPLE GIVE THEIR DAMN LOVE TRIANGLE SQUARE A DAMN REST?!? GET ON WITH IT! … … … Also, I like Juliet and Sawyer. Leave them alone. … … Thank you.
Hancock
Verena: This movie was like a person being drawn and quartered. Every piece of it seemed to be going in a different direction. Jonas: …that’s true. It was a lot less than the sum of its parts. Verena: It’s like they tried to make four different versions of the same …

If these two movies were candy. Verena: Oh. Jonas: If it was candy, then Immortel would be poisonous. Transformers would …
Jumper
A very short review, as they tend to be. So, Jumper. It had a trailer that looked somewhere between interesting and silly. As it turns out, it’s more on the interesting side than on the silly. Actually, most of it is pretty good – there just isn’t enough of it. …
The Nines
Verena and I recently saw The Nines, a movie by John August. And here is what we thought: The plot was excellent, and so was the writing. I’m not going to tell you anything about it, though, because that would spoil half the fun. Well, I’ll say one thing, because …
The Greek Riots: Some Basic Facts
Hi all. I have just finished and released a video which tries to explain the origins and meaning of the riots in Greece. It’s far from perfect, but between a severe three-day headache, an unhappy cat and Pinnacle Studio bisbehaving, it’s the best I can currently do. And that’s OK …
Paul Newman
Paul Newman has died. It’s sad – very much so. But I’m less depressed about it than I was about the sudden deaths of, say, Richard Biggs or Douglas Adams. While his death is a tragedy, I can think of few lives less wasted: he lived long, loved deeply, created …
