Ein Film auf den ich sehr gespannt war, King selbst bezeichnete ihn als eine der besten Verfilmungen seines Werkes. Wobei man solch Aussagen sehr mit Vorsicht geniessen muss, wie zuletzt schmerzlich bei The Monkey sich zeigte. Aber egal, schon die Besetzung versprach viel. Und was soll ich sagen, ja...

The Life of Chuck on imdb:

A life-affirming, genre-bending story based on Stephen King's novella about three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz.[/quote

The Ballad of Wallis Island on imdb:

An eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favorite musicians to perform at his home.

I generally like animation movies, some for their astonishing real-like animations and others for the imagination to support a good story by sometimes quite weird looking optics. This one was definitely one of the latter category. The story was well told as a look back at the main characters life (a...

#1529 Memoir of a Snail on imdb:

A bittersweet memoir of a melancholic woman called Grace Pudel - a hoarder of snails, romance novels, and guinea pigs.

A "horror film for 10-12 year olds" was Kasi's intro if I remember correctly - yedah maybe it was. But that was not its biggest fault, that was more the overpowering amout of clichees throughout, especially in the very generic soundtrack, which I thought might have been AI generated, but a...

#1528 Monster Summer on imdb:

When a mysterious force begins to disrupt their big summer fun, a group of friends team up with a retired police detective to embark on an adventure to save their island.

What a charming film with this cute little horse... whait a minute - that was a dog, a Great Dane to be precise! Bill Murray had not much to play here, but he did a good job playing the character with a dark side to it that was unnoticable for most until he took the final step... Tough subject but w...

The Friend on imdb:

When a solitary writer adopts and bonds with a Great Dane that belonged to a late friend, she begins to come to terms with her past and her own creative inner life.

Interesting enough from the beginning to give the rather unknown film a chance. And it paid off well, the charm of the 4 old ladies entangled me quickly and I had a good time with the - a very fair 2 for them!

Four Mothers on imdb:

A struggling novelist who is forced to take care of three eccentric older women - and his own mother - over the course of one chaotic weekend in Dublin.

Short and pretty much brainless entertainment, good for a Manic Monday

3+ (as it was a very Manic Mionday for me...)

Guns Up on imdb:

When a job goes horribly wrong, an ex-cop and family man who moonlights as a mob henchman has one night to get his family out of the city.

P.S.: Bei Will Poulter fällt mir zuerst Michael Fassbender ein, der schon viel öfter in der Sneak zu sehen war. 8) Ich wollte das auf den kurzen Zeitraum beschränken, kriegte ich aber irgendwie nicht richtig formuliert und wollte der schon vergangenen Zeitverschwendung nicht noch zuviel dazugeben :...

Booooring... that was my main feeling yesterday. The narration was also too jumpy and I could not see much of what point the film wanted to make. Nice 50s feeling came over though, so I am giving a weak 4-...

PS: Will Poulter must be running for most appearing actor in our sneak
