hi,
i decided to put up a new category, actually the first real category on here.
every sunday night i have a look at the films i´ve seen over the week, how i liked them etc.
this is basically a way to put down my intial reaction and feelings i have after watching a film, and being able to keep track myself in my own movie-diary so to speak.
so let´s see...
i finally watched
The Boat that rocked, which is one of the reasons why i think about renaming the blog "honeyislate". i always seem to be behind, that film is one and a half years old, how come i only see it now? it´s on the 60s! how could i miss it??
i have to say that i loved it, the way it was set up and light etc. i had no problem with the often criticised incoherent plotline, for me it was purely a fun experience. why did it do so badly, financially? in my world it would had been a skyrocketing success!
plus it was my first look at tom sturridge, who creepily enough, reminded me a lot of his best mate pattinson. i hope he just used him to create the role of young carl. if not these two must be soulmates or secret twins or whatever. just the voice and the way of articulation. they phrase their sentences exactly in the same manner. maybe a london thing?
apart from that, the movie was colourful, happy, funny and had awesome music. can´t have more, can you?
second watch: completely different scene. french film. complete female cast.
8 women. slightly over-the-top acting. still very entertaining. done like a stage play. interesting songs. bright colours. nice clothes. catherine deneuve. laughed and cried.
third watch: now tom sturridge, robert pattinson´s darked haired twin, got me interested and eddie redmayne is keeping my interest for several weeks now, so i had to check out
Like minds. i only saw it on youtube, so i can´t actually say much about the set up, but i loved the acting and the calmness in which (most of) this thriller is taking place. i´m usually not one to love movies about senseless killings or intestines hanging all over the place and bodies being cracked open, but still it was worth a watch. everything with redmayne´s face in it is worth a watch. even if i didn´t get the ending.
fourth watch is actually of no interest to my english-speaking readers (errm.... all) but i´m going to put it out here anyway. it is called
vorne ist verdammt weit weg. this film is starring erwin pelzig, who is a regionally well-known fictional character invented by a comedian who used to go to school with my dad. this fella talks in the thickest accent of my hometown (which alone is already quite funny) and in this film he is learning about and fighting against globalisation. highly political topic brought to you in a funny and sweet way. makes you think about capitalism and the downsides of it. maybe i should start writing in german again, too...
that´s it from me, i hope next week this category will be a bit better organised, have a header etc.
have a nice week! i´m off to bed!

i just found out that my most clicked post is the one about paula from last march. i´m not trying to get more traffic on here, but after reading her story here again, i feel so sorry for her and decided to post a picture i forgot to include last time. she apparently died in 2008 only 58 years young.
