Stargate SG-1

They should have stopped after Season 8 the last two were really bad and in my eyes pulled the whole series down a bit. Still up to that point it's a great show and I really enjoied it.

Dallas

Dallas was a phenomenon at the time that can't be repeated or transformed in our time. The Mother-Soap. Once in a lifetime you should have watched it but skip the infamous Season 9 (if you don't know why you are either very young or completely unaware in the 80s ;-) ). I admit the quality of the show drops to the end but in general it's still a good show.

Planes

Well, it's Cars with Planes.

Looks great, as I expected, but the story is not very original. To be honest, I'm kind of getting tired a bit of those animation movies.

Shootout!

I'm very interested in the history and strategy of war. I just don't get it why History Channel always has to re-enact everything and use flashy graphics and soundtracks.

Expedition: Bismarck

The pictures of the wreck are amazing and they reveal what really happened back then. But overall it's too Hollywood for a serious documentation.

Rush

I was really looking forward to this and wasn't dissapointed.

A great movie about two personalities who couldn't be more different and yet so much alike.

Home Improvement

Really love this show. Just finished watching the whole thing again.
This is not only great comedy, this is about the people, their life and everyday problems. There arent't a lot of sitcoms you can watch more than once, this is definately one. And if you haven't watched it, well - what are you wating for ?

Adele: Live at the Royal Albert Hall

Adele was one of the very, very few who caught my attention over the last couple years.

Awesome woman, awesome voice.

Wish I could have been there, great performance.

Pacific Rim

A lot of people told me this is a bad movie. After finally seeing it I can't understand why? Yeah the characters are flat and the plot is foreseeable but that's almost a given in theese movies. So this is about the action and in that regard I fail to see while this was worst than others of this genre.

So get a beer and snacks and enjoy it.

Through the Wormhole

I love this show. Don't know if it is scientificly sound like someone mentioned but it gives me a lot to think and discuss about and that's made it worth watching.

Catwoman

Have seen better, have seen worse. Not a "must-see" by any means. The outfit was worth it, though ;-)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

For me, this was the worst of the three. I can't put my finger on it but it didn't feel right. Still decent entertainment.

The Amazing Spider-Man

Yeah, it's kind of funny, plots are thin and acting isn't that good. There are no supervillans, but hey, we're talking late 70s TV here and I loved this show as a kid. And it's the first live-action Spidey so it's kind of a classic.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I'm not looking for a deep, logical story in those kind of movies. You have to know what to expect and in that regard they deliver.

BUT.....please, no more of those stupid jokes and those slapstick-like Transformers.

Tron: Uprising

This was way better than I thought it would. The animation together with the soundtrack creates a stunning atmosphere. This was so much fun to watch, a shame it didn't last longer.

Prisoners

Beside the acting I can't find nothing special about this movie. Yes, the story is interesting but the movie moves so slowly that in the end it felt like a five hour piece.

Man of Steel

Christopher Reeve will always be the the original Superman but this was the best Superman movie I've seen.
Had my doubts about it at first but they were literally blown away while watching. And while I wouldn't go as far as saying this will become a legendary movie it is great and entertaining. I hope they can build on this and deliver a equally good sequel.

The Great Gatsby

It's not a bad movie but not my cup of tea.

Sure looks beautiful and despite what some others said I think the soundtrack fits the picture well. It's that kind of movie that you might not regret seeing but won't see again.

White House Down

Personally I prefer Olympus on all accounts. Sure it's a matter of taste but I´m not seeing one area where this was the better movie.

Visually nice to watch but besides that it doens´t have much to go for it. You know how the story will end. And it´s not suited for younger children it has a bit too much violence. And I doubt teens might fall for a fairy tale.

This is wrong in so many ways. They took the Mad Max tag and put it on an otherwise mediocre movie with a bad script. Maybe this would have been a good Indiana Jones movie but this isn't Mad Max by any means.

And while Tina Turner is a great singer/performer on stage, she is one of the worst actresses I've seen.

If you'd liked the first two then you better don't watch this

2001: A Space Odyssey

A science fiction classic and a cinematic masterpiece. Or so they say.

I have no problem admitting I didn't understand it the first two times I saw it. I was in my teenage years then. I just watched it again but this time I read some interpretations, explanations and quotes from Kubrick. While I still think it is a masterpiece in technical terms considering the time it was filmed I now feel the plot is not so great at all. The movie suddenly became very mediocre to me.

I like the ideas behind the movie but I think it's blown out of proportion. Just my point of view, I know a lot of people think different.

Burn Notice

I think the final season was weak. The plot was constructed just to fit some needs. It had strong moments but they should not have started another arc.

Nevertheless I really liked this show. Has a bit of everything, Action, drama, lovestory, fun.

It's a bit like Thomas Magnum, Jack Bauer and a bit of McGyver.

Sci-Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible

Some episodes are entertaining but all in all this is not very scientific. it relies a lot on when and ifs. A lot of the time its just: this is what we would do. But they are not telling how it would actually be done

NASCAR: Driven To Win

Boring. Loosely cut together crap with little content in poor VHS quality.

Even as a longttime NASCAR fan I could not stand to watch this.

When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions

If you already know the NASA History you will find nothing new. But the picture material that is used in this documentation is awesome and the quality is stunning.

Therefore I highly recommend watching this if you're interested in this subject.

Gangster Squad

Good movie, entertaining. Reminded me a bit of The Untouchables at times. Not a deep story though and you know almost any time what is going to happen next. But nicely filmed gunfights.

The worst thing in my opinion: Sean Penn. That was the worst attempt of a DeNiro impersonation if I ever saw one.

Olympus Has Fallen

Was actually better than I thought it would be.

Like most others said there are a lot of comparisons to "Die Hard". This movie does not reach the first of the "Die Hard" series but let's be honest, the last two weren't that good either.

That beeing said I would recommend Olympus if you're looking for a couple of hours to keep your mind of, don't analyse it to death. Like a lot of other action movies it can't hold a lot of water.
