2014 TV greatness - Manly hug goodbye to the Sons

Thank you @SutterInk for 7 great seasons of Sons of AnarchyVerified account @SonsofAnarchy and a great #FinalRide #fb

I have needed some time to think about the departure of our beloved, over-hugging group of bad-ass bikers. After needing approximately one season to warm up and some encouragement by my good friend from the german Hank from Noise Affairs; I finally got hooked to the show and never really let loose until the very end. Critics say that the show often jumped from awesome and gripping to terribly…

2014 Television Greatness - Goodbye to the one who knock(ed)

Lookin back to 2014-Goodbye to the one who knock(ed) @Breaking_BadAMC.Miss you @AaronPaul_8 @BryanCranston on #fb

I have spent numerous hours getting addicted to the shit Walter has been cooking up for the past 5 years. And after 5 (or more 6 seasons), Vince Gilligan made the best decision he could have made. End the show when it is at its absolute best. Keeping it on for much longer would have probably Lost’ized it and thus it was a bittersweet but in the end triumphant goodbye to what has been one of the…

The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

My favorite of 2014 so far...@apesmovies was nothing short of fantastic: Here is what I think: #fb #MinorSpoilers

When summer hit the theaters, this movie was my No.1 choice to be seen in theaters but with my natural inhibitor not living in the US any longer, the window of opportunity is much smaller. By the time, I was able to finally go to the movies, the English version was no longer playing…and it was a long long wait until this remarkable piece of science fiction finally hit the iTunes Store…and all I…

Gone Girl

@GoneGirlMovie is one of the best thrillers ever with a 100% #Oscar2015 best actress nomination for #RosamundePike

So, there it is … Ben Affleck and David Fincher are kicking off my personal Oscar season of 2014. Given that I am getting married next week, this was probably the perfect movie to watch. 149 minutes of wedding nirvana packaged in one of the best thrillers I have seen in a long time. Thanks to a combination of great filmmaking by David Fincher, a fantastic screenplay of what must be an even better…

The Raid I & II

@TheRaidUS was one of the best action movies in the past years, reminding me of the awesome John Woo HK films #fb...http://wp.me/p2Xp3P-zh

Flying always calls for very easy entertainment and thus I am mostly inclined to just get an easy action flick. The problem seems to be that by now I have watched all of them…except this (kind of) hidden gem (series). The Raid was one of these films which have been on my to-watch (with a whopping 85% / 78%on Rotten Tomatoes) list for years until I finally decided to pull the trigger and boy I was…

Chef

@ChefTheFilm: feel-good dramedy which could have used some more seasoning to be truly great...http://wp.me/p2Xp3P-za #fb

One of my potential 2014 highlights was on the board entertainment on my flight to L.A., so it was no-brainer to try out the what-seemed to be a delicious course from what the promising trailer. So what do I think after 1 hour 55 min of watching food porn on a plane? I feel like having been teased by the mentioned app without going too fancy followed by an entree which kind of tasted like a dish…

2014 - The Good Things are yet to come ....

It's been awhile.Here is my outlook on #2014 - The Good Things are yet to come .... #fb

It feels like a long time ago, since I have been writing something…seems I have come down with a serious case of writer’s block. As I am trying to overcome it, bear with me. 2014 has passed halftime which means that Germany has won the World Cup and more importantly … just kidding … there is nothing more important. Well, it basically also means that we are almost over the hump of shitty movies…

Oscar 2014 Series: Erwin'o'Meter for Best Picture

#Oscar 2014: Best Picture goes to @12YearsASlaveUK & Best Director will go #AlfonsoCuraon for @GravityMovieUK #fb

Ok, this is going to be a busy night but nobody says it was easy to run a movie website on Oscar night, the probably busiest night of the year for people like me to get their opinion (who probably nobody cares about) out there. You now know what my picks are with respect to the best acting performances this year, now let’s move on to the other interesting category of the night…the category of…
