Then, a couple of weeks ago I saw How I met your mother for the first time. I’ve heard of it before, and it was said to be really good, but it just didn’t make me that curious to watch it. From the first episode on I wanted to see more. First season was good, second season great, third season was not as good as season two, but still great. Now I can’t wait for season four. I know it’s already out there.

Best two episodes ever are “Slapbet” and “Smarley”. But start at the beginning, if you liked friends, you will like How I met your mother. It’s simply legen … wait for it … dary.

This week I was 2 times to the movies. The new Bond-flick and The Strangers. Second one was more or less random because they didn’t have any good seats in Max Payne, so we decided to watch any other movie that doesn’t sound too bad.

At first, I was excited. The Strangers starts as a classic psycho-thriller-horror-movie with high tension. The audience in the theatre was great - screaming and frightening (both followed by laughing). But then the good ideas (actually they were no new ideas, but good anyway) were used to often and it was kind of like they didn’t know how to finish the movie at the end.

I give my rating now and will say, what I would have done with the story, but this includes spoilers, so if you want to see the movie, don’t go on reading. My rating: 6 out of 10.

This might contain spoilers! I would have let the strangers do no harm to the victims. Like killing Mike, the couple would hurt itself by accident because they freak out and run around with knifes, shooting on everything moving. I guess this would make the strangers a “cool” type of villians - those who don’t kill, those who don’t hurt or torture. I’d say, that would have make the movie better. They worked towards this idea very long, but messed it up at the end.

So my expectations for Quantum of Solace were high. When I heard Marc Foster will do it, my expectations got even higher. Then Jack White will to the theme song - looked like they would do everything right again. But, as it is with high expectations, they are very likely to be disappointed. The latest Bond is just another actionmovie with some dialouges in between fast and brutal scenes to bring the “story” forward.

Of course I will watch the next Bond as well. I did watch all the Brosnan Bonds too (just to say it, QoS is still better than any Brosnan-Bond). But as for this Craig-Bond, I just have 5 out of 10 points. Sorry.

Last week I saw Burn after reading, the new comedy from the two geniuses. Geniuses, because of The Big Lebowski. Ginuses because of Fargo and O Btother Were Art Thou? And now: Geniuses because of Burn After Reading.

They got together some of their crew: George Clooney, Francis McDormand and J. K. Simmons already worked together with them. They found some new great actors for their project: Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton and John Malkovic.

Burn after reading, the secret service comedy has weired characters, a great story and very entertaining dialogues and situations. The Coens are back. 10 out of 10 points.

All those hidden little jokes (e.g. Apple sound, when full charged) the side kicks (actually full frontal kicks) to society, well developed characters and a beautifully animated world. It is fascinating, how they got these emotions into “lifeless” creatures like robots. I think the first 30 minutes not a single word was spoken. It was like a silent movie. But never boring.

WALL•E gets full 10 out of 10 points from me … I saw great movies in cinema this year, can’t wait for “Burn after Reading”, the new Coen Brothers flick.

The guys did an amazing show, with almost all of their hits (except “Trouble”) and some of their new songs - a littlebit different to what I expected from them, but a change doesn’t have to be bad.

Impressive was also the show. They played with light and some neat effects (projection in huge bulbs hanging from the ceiling). Coolest thing was a rain of paper leaves with uv-light. Looked like a fairytail rain.

If you have the chance to see Coldplay live - go for it!

The site uses our own PHP framework and has now way more content, than the old one. It was about time to give it an update, and everybody is satisfied. Like a big family.

Also we have the intention to give it an update more often, promised!

Anyway the movie was fun, popcorn cinema, not more, not less. Okay to see, but not a must see. I give it 6 out of 10 points.

Anyway since yesterday there’s a new movie in the list: The Dark Knight. And this is not the only thing it has in common with Kill Bill. I was highly expecting both movies. When I saw them, I felt like “Wow that’s so cool”. A movie-experience I wouldn’t want to miss.

The Dark Knight is, in fact, one of the best movies I’ve seen so far. Heath Ledger (as said thousand times before) played as never before (and never again). The Joker is a maniac. Have I said No Country For Old Men has the meanest bad guy? Let me rectify this: The Joker is a villain nobody wants to be in the same city with.

The new Batman movie has more than the usual blockbuster cinema. And more than the usual “good movies”. It combines both. The ultimate fight between good and evil. And everything in between. Everything else but 10 out of 10 from me would be just wrong.

Then he did Italian Job, followed by Kingdom of Heaven. I was disappointed. In The Illusionist (which was actually pretty good, but never got released in Europe - why?) he played with Jessica Biel (one of my least favourite actresses). Now the Hulk? When I heard this, I thought its over.

On my Scandinavia trip I saw The Incredible Hulk. In the worlds largest THX theatre. And - I liked it. Turns out Norton fits to the silent Bruce Banner. The quick rating I gave a month ago should be changed. I give it 7 out of 10. I think the new Hulk movie is good action cinema - the first one (with Eric Bana) was not.
