Mini-Reviews #1
So, a couple of short reviews for recently watched movies and television shows.
(Update 2023: Added five-star-ratings [may diverge now from what I had in mind, years ago, when I wrote the text…].)
Film
- Movie 43 (2013)
- Episodic comedy with an interesting cast. But actually pretty unfunny. Some parts where too short, some too long for the respective punchline.
1/5 stars - Django Unchained (2012)
- Like with “Inglourious Basterds”, I wasn’t really hooked by it; and before that, there was “Death Proof”…
His latest batch of films didn’t grab me like “Pulp Fiction”, “Jackie Brown” or “Kill Bill” did in the past.
So I wonder, is it me or Quentin?
3/5 stars - The Last Stand (2013)
- Schwarzenegger’s action comeback. Mediocre B-action movie.
3/5 stars - Nobody Walks (2012)
- Waste. Of. Time. 😞
1/5 stars
TV
- Arrow — Season 1 (aborted)
- Like “Person of Interest” before, I wasn’t really interesed in it, but began watching it because of the (surprisingly)
good reviews I’ve read online.
And like with “PoI”, I’m now circa mid-season and still don’t know what all the fuzz is about. It’s not a bad show, but I’m not hooked by it; so I say goodbye, Mr. Queen.
2/5 stars
[DE] Am Ende noch ein paar unerwartete Neuigkeiten: Die letzten beiden Staffeln (#4 und #5) der großartigen — und in Deutschland leider quasi unbeachteten — Serie Damages sollen endlich in synchronisierter Fassung später im Jahr auf einem kleinen Nischensender ausgestrahlt werden. Den kann ich zwar nicht empfangen, aber hoffentlich werden die entsprechenden BDs/DVDs bald darauf veröffentlicht…
