  Wicked 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  The movie is well choreographed and bursting with creative ideas, but it still didn't really grab me.

  It's not necessarily the actors who do a good job, but the songs, which I had expected much more from after the euphoric reviews. After all, it is a musical movie. The movie is over and not a single song has stuck in my mind.

  The excessive use of CGI doesn't make it any better. Too bad, I had expected more.

  Ein Sommer in Italien 2025

  ★★★ Watched 19 Jan 2025

  I don't know if I was simply in a mellow mood when I watched the TV movie with my wife or if it was actually due to the quality: the ZDF vacation romance actually surprised me in a positive way, because for the first time it managed to make my bored plot prediction to my wife miss its target. We were genuinely surprised, also by the courage of the plot line involving the older ladies and the quality of the actors.

  Verplant 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 15 May 2021

  Unterhaltsame Doku über 2 entspannte, lustige Typen, die sich (untrainiert) auf eine Radtour von Deutschland nach Vietnam machen. Hatte ein Dauergrinsen auf dem Gesicht und das kann ja nur ein gutes Zeichen sein.

  Ant-Man 2015

  ★★★½ Watched 14 Jan 2016

  Not a bad superhero movie, but it has left me strangely cold. Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas do a solid job, but Corey Stoll was pretty one dimensional and even annoying as a villain!
  The good visual effects push the movie slightly above mediocrity.
