If you already know the history of Formula 1 this will propably tell you nothing new. If you only know F1 from its modern days whatch this.

In any case this is the best documentary about F1 that I've seen so far. The pictures together with the soundtrack are awesome. Mixed with quotes from former drivers gives you an insight how it was and what it meant to be a race drive in the 60's and 70's

Star Trek: Of Gods and Men

Yes, this has no Hollywood-like CGI, then again it didn't had a Hollywood budget. But it's fun too see some of the old Star Trek cast again.

Fast & Furious 6

Well, it´s Fast & Furious. You know what to expect when you read the title. And it delivers.

Feels a bit like Dallas or Denver Clan only a couple hundred years back. I don`t mind the fact that it´s not historical sound because it never claimed to be in the first place. It´s good entertainment.
One thing that is a bit disturbing production wise is that while some people in the series are getting older quite normal (especially the children), which suggest the time that has passed, it is not reflected in the appearance of the main characters as much.

Trouble with the Curve

First movie in a while that kept me in front of the screen from start to finish.

Cloud Atlas

This movie depends on the urge of the viewer to want to watch the end despite it´s confusing back-and-forth plot. I had to convince myself every 15 minutes to go on with it but after about two hours I lost interest. After that it played along without me taking much notice.

An hour and two stories less might have done the trick.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

if you know what to expect from theese kind of movies you won't get dissapointed.

yes it's nothing knew, everything has been seen before but on the other hand an action movie is what it is. Some have decent story lines others don't. Beside that an explosion is an explosion and a gun fight is a gun fight.

If you don't like it don't watch it.

V

I´ve seen better ones cancelled.

Don´t remember much of the details from the original so I´m not comparing. This one started good but got pretty much two-dimensional very fast. CGI look really bad always felt like people were standing on top of sets rather than in it. Story had potential, yes, but the uninspired pulled it south.

Taken 2

I agree, not as good s the first. Still better than a lot of other action movies.

Total Recall

Just watched the ext cut. Actually if you take the movie itself without comparing it to the first it´s quite good. If you like action and CGI you won´t get dissapointed. Story is OK for the genre and if you do compare it to the first I think the story is even better in places.

It is not a must-see-movie but it´s good entertainment.

This is how Overhaulin used to be in the early seasons. Bringing back cars for people who REALLY deserve it. Love it.

Extras

Took me a couple of episodes to get into it. Finished first season now and really like it.

Not comperable to any US sitcom, this is british which you either like or you don´t.

The "guesstars", although only having very few scenes in every episode, are kind of self-mocking (hope it`s the right term) which is cool.

And I really think Ashley Jensen, who plays Maggie, is awesome in her role.

Give it a try.

Keep Your Head Up, Kid: The Don Cherry Story

If you like North American Hockey you may or may not like Don Cherry.

If you like Don Cherry you should whatch this. It tells his Story roughly from childhood until becoming a commentator on CBC.

He always is true to himself, and that´s what I respect him for.

Greatly played by Keeso.

Movie is OK.

But where the original Tron was outstanding, and at it´s time something special, Legacy doesn´t offer anything new. Today it´s just another CGI Movie. It doesn´t stand out in my opinion.

Don`t like the fact they put the Tron charakter in but choose to make him faceless despite the few scenes at the beginning. And the Clu charakter looked kind of weird. Supposed to look like a younger Flynn he seems more like an old one who had plastic surgery.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome

I hope there will be more. Although it has not the level as the TV Series had it still looks promising and has lots of potential. After all so far it has only been roughly 100 min.

But I too fear this will die before it can grow. If you look what kind of shows do have success right now this seems pre-destined to fail.

Pity, there isn´t any good scifi on TV at all.

Battleship

Don`t know what people expect from those kind of films ?

Unrealistic scenes ? Well, yes - its a sci-fi movie not national geographic.

I agree they could have gotten more into the aliens to give it a bit more depth and overall the whole movie is like a melting pot of severall others.

Nevertheless sometimes I need movies where I don´t need to much intellect.

Gary Moore : Live At Montreux 2010

If you are, like me, a fan of Gary`s hard stuff than this will bring you back. It will simply blow you away. Amazing, memorable performance. Not just because this was the last Live recording before he passed away. He even played three new songs that where supposed to be on a new album he was working on.

In my opinion he is still one of the best guitarists ever because of the way he played, He could make it talk to you like few others and he shows it here.

So turn up your gear because the sound is awesome. Enjoy.

RIP Gary, we miss you.

watched this mainly because i´m a neeson fan. only problem with the story is that you know what will happen. nevertheless this was a good one. and in times of all these multi million dollar special FX spectacles (which I do at times also like) one should take time for a movie like this.

Fuck faith - earn it
