Last Week I received the series 3 DVD pre-ordered already month’ ago. We increased the anticipation by putting series 3 aside and rewatching the whole 12 episodes of series 1 +2. I can highly recommend this Britcom. Now its time for the new series. We will rationate it to 1 episode a day max.

Giuseppe Sunday, 5th of July 2009 at 01:06:33 PM This year I watched 11 movies on the Filmfest. Never seen so many but after having not been in cinema for month’ and having a quite rainy summer, The Filmfest met me at a receptive moment. The Goldcard further pushed me to take advantage of this one week a year possibility to watch rather unknown indie movies which will never make it to the big screens. Often enough you pick a pearl which is why I like this filmfestivals so much.

Giuseppe Monday, 9th of November 2009 at 11:21:06 PM  Sunday was last day of Munich’s ASIA Filmfest. It’s time for my wrap-up. This year I did not have a top pick like in the past years. From the movies I watched I liked most “Overheard” followed by “Departures” and “The good, the Bad and the Weird”. I disliked only “Thirst” and “Vengeance”. I missed “Beast Stalker” where I had already purchased a ticket but mixed up screening hour. I saw 9 movies in total. The atmosphere seems to get warmer and warmer from year to year and also the attendence seems to grow. Always nice the evening presentations where the organizers Manuel Ewald and Armin Schmidt talk to the audience and giveaway DVD’s. I won a DVD at the “Overheard” screening: “Sasori”. 8 days with more than 50 movies. My favorite Asian movie genre is the Hong-Kong Movie, especially cop and crime thrillers. I also like Japanes movies. Asia FF is a real gem in Munichs cultural landscape.

Just returned from watching Fatih Akins new Movie. We did not hear any reviews before and did not have any great expectations, we were just wondering about the sold out theatre when we bought the tickets. We really enjoyed this film cause it had lots of Funny scenes a great soundtrack and great actors and a good story. I did not know that Moritz Bleibtreu performs so amazing. I liked most Birol Ünel (haute cuisine cook) and Wotan Wile Möhring (mean real estate agent) and of ourse the attraction of Anna Bederke (waitress Lucia). Having not been in Hamburg for quite a while we both got appetite for a Hamburg weekend. Hamburg rocks …
