American Pie (1999) – Paul Weitz
[25-WR]
The inevitable coming-out-of-(teen)age story for the millennial male generation. Filled with stereotypes to empathize with and nostalgic one-liners to never forget.
[25-WR]
Le dîner de cons (1998) – Francis Veber
[25-WR]
It starts really stupid but it Omelettes itself up into a kind of karma theater-play that’s different, kind and refined in an unpretentious way.
[25-WR]
The White Lotus – Season 1 (2021) – HBO
[25-WR]
Tense, biological comedy that rattles itself up like a rising sunset-snake squirming along a scuba-diving ray of light in a troubled water-sky.
[25-WR]
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) – David Fincher
[25-WR]
It honors the original by keeping it Swedish all the way including blurry accents that can´t stop its long force of satisfactory texture-layer brilliance.
[25-WR]
World Domination (2023) – Blood Command
[25-WR]
Euphoric showcase of a world ending punky attitude in 20 songs but in an enigmatic coherent manner. The Netflix soundtrack for your very own apocalypse.
[25-WR]
Disharmonium – Nahab (2023) – Blut aus Nord
[25-WR]
Entering the void of french Black Metal, this album sets a new standard. A maelstrom of cascading highs, lows, ebbs & flows as it‘s downspiraling.
[25-WR]
Hürtgenwald – NRW, Germany
[25-WR]
The sensory intensity that’s felt through the uncontrolled reactions of those who ancestrally better feel what the terror of such approaching nighttime could be like.
[25-WR]
Let the Earth be Silent (2023) – Fvnerals
[25-WR]
Solid spectral shit surrounding sound-minded guests with an obscurantist‘s pain manifest that only blood itself could come up with if it had a conscience.
[25-WR]
Beau is Afraid (2023) – Ari Aster
[25-WR]
Could easily be the far out-test comedy ever. A mummy-issued ego trip getting away with its masturbatory pretentiousness while begging for multiple visits.
[25-WR]
Oppenheimer (2023) – Christopher Nolan
[25-WR]
Impeccably not grainy but full of particles modern-talkie that feels much longer than only three hours long…ing still for more Gary Oldman time.
[25-WR]
The Station Agent (2003) – Tom McCarthy
[25-WR]
Warm-acted, well-hearted, boutique jewellery piece of naturally grown independent cinema that convincingly re-touches people´s frailty in great memorable angles of tiny actions.
[25-WR]
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) – James Mangold
[25-WR]
Great for what it is: a moving-train jump into ageless redemption from the shards of bad casting trampling all over their own crystal skulls.
[25-WR]
Across the Universe (2007) – Julie Taymor
[25-WR]
Unannounced musical pushing Dear Patience for the trailer-allergic expecting pure dialog. It sugar-shocks with its spiral-singing flopping in steady but annoying beauty.
[25-WR]
Chapter 27 (2007) – J.P. Schaefer
[25-WR]
Jacked up in fat aggressively whispering for respect as an actor while shooting the wrong Beatle played by another actor actually sharing the killer´s name.
[25-WR]
Thirteen (2003) – Catherine Hardwicke
[25-WR]
Lucky number for derailment palming the air around the the missing family-cell walls while choking her own soul not to drown back into nothingness.
[25-WR]
Poor Things (2023) – Yorgos Lanthimos
[25-WR]
Fish-eyed, piss-European trip that´s mind-veneering even for the hardest of avant-garde-st getting bagged up drowned in the funny tasting river.
[25-WR]
Snowden (2016) – Oliver Stone
[25-WR]
Oliver Stone-light, hyperactive non-action film that acts a greasy hook with a morally firm intent to blow it’s own bells and whistles away.
[25-WR]
The Beach (2000) – Danny Boyle
[25-WR]
Great it´d be if its understandably-wrapped-in-commercial-crap internal jungle-fever madness would outgrow the bills to pay for this watered down effort.
[25-WR]
Cabaret (1972) – Bob Fosse
[25-WR]
Singing-dancing heavy downer light-show sharply staged around a three-legged relationship with sex, booze and blood outspoken with clear-minded, subtly astute dialogue.
[25-WR]
Joker (2019) – Todd Phillips
[25-WR]
Entrancing eye-mouth opener commercial film, widely deep cleaning it´s tired subject matter into something wilder stunning the soul free for a burning new world.
[25-WR]
Moby Dick (1956) – John Huston
[25-WR]
Toned-down, trippy-colored salty-candy trip about classic revenge and honorable madness. A well-manouvered, savagely hunted-down condensation of a source material “mastodon”.
[25-WR]
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) – Alejandro G. Iñárritu
[25-WR]
Ist es ein Vogel?
Ein Flugzeug?
Nein, es ist Birdman.
Keaton bringt mit beflügelnder Verzweiflung die Rolle seines Lebens zurück auf die Bühne gen Sterne.
[25-WR]
Breaking Bad Intro (2008-2013) – AMC
[25-WR]
Die farblose Verschmelzung von Barium und Brom hinterlässt einen beißenden, ockerfarbenen Geschmack auf der Zunge. 17-sekündliches Glücksgefühl ohne ruinierende Spoiler und protzige Show-Offs.
[25-WR]
Meeting Norman Reedus @Walking Dead Convention
[25-WR]
Teures, stressiges Unterfangen um aktuell populären Show-Protagonisten zu treffen.
Schlangestehen, kleinen Raum betreten und hoffen dass man auf bezahltem blitzschnellen Fotoabzug halbwegs gescheit aussieht.
[25-WR]
Piano Concerto No.23 in A, K.488 – Allegro in A (1786) – Wofgang Amadeus Mozart/Horowitz/Giulini
[25-WR]
Rides a hair or two faster than usual but does not in any way feel carousel-led or gone astray in repetitive dactyl derision. Cool.
[25-WR]
Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny (2020) – Mr. Bungle
[25-WR]
Heavy, raw but repolished highschool writing about social criticism. Sprinkled with self-references, thrash anthem riffs from popular bands and played with lots of fun.
[25-WR]
Low (1977) – David Bowie
[25-WR]
Poly-syncratic avant-garde mindfuck simmering ahead of its time with high-functioning, cutting-edge madness that is never boring to the sound or vision.
[25-WR]
Guidance (2016) – Russian Circles
[25-WR]
An instru-metal journey that positively both ascends and descends with heavy ease while knitting mind-deserts that stay tarp-ed under a sepia sky.
[25-WR]
Mr. Bungle Reunion Concert – 02/13/20 @ The Warfield, San Francisco, CA
[25-WR]
Letzte Tourshow ihrer Art.
Reines Punk/ Thrash Allstar-Manifest, wo weder Langeweile noch schlechter Sound aufkamen.
Das ‚Warfield‘ war perfekt für dieses musikalisch historische Ereignis.
[25-WR]
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) – Dan Kwan
[25-WR]
With a completely incomprehensible and visual-demanding plot it’s easy to look stunning nowadays.
But nailing it with a well, bagel-circular story is rare.
