Hallo allerseits, von mir dann die Gegenrede zu meinem Bühnenkollegen; ich bin kein Fan der Reihe und kenne nur die Teile zwei und drei von Sam Raimi, die ich auch zuletzt vor Jahrzehnten gesehen habe. Außerdem stehen bei Filme nicht hoch im Kurs, die im Endeffekt gar keine Geschichte erzählen und n...

"Evil Dead Rise" is the fifth film in the "Evil Dead" franchise, but it's only loosely connected to the original trilogy by Sam Raimi which came to the cinemas in the late 1980s and early 1990s (and which was appended by the TV series "Ash vs. Evil Dead" which ran from...

"Living" is a remake of the 1952 film "Ikiru" (which means "to live") by none other than legendary film maker Akira Kurosawa ("Seven Samurai"); screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro transplanted the setting from Japan to post-war London, but left the main story intact....

Hallo aus der Mittagspause, da ich nicht weiß, ob sich in dieser Woche überhaupt jemand äußert, presche ich mal vor: von mir erhält "Infinity Pool" eine glatte Fünf. Der Film sieht an sich gut aus und ist adäquat abgefilmt, und die Musik sort für das passende Gefühl des Unbehagens - aber e...

"Infinity Pool" is the first Sneak film by Brandon Cronenberg; the son of famous/infamous filmmaker David Cronenberg ("Cosmopolis", "Eastern Promises") apparently shares some of his spleens when it comes to movie-making, as can be seen in the trailer: http://www.youtub...

"Champions" is a remake of the Spanish film "Campeones", and by just looking at the trailer, they apparently haven't changed all that much: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3e0hWT09YY Of course, the locations and actors are different as can be seen en the US trailer: http://www.y...

Award season may be over, but there are still some nominated films to be shown at our Sneak - in fact, Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale" (based on a stage play by Samuel D. Hunter which he himself adapted for the screen) was nominated three times and won twice - for best makeup and of course...

"Seneca" is Stuttgart-born Robert Schwentkes fifth Sneak film, but it may be his weirdest to date. The film, which was co-written by him and little-known scribe Matthew Wilder, takes us back to the 1st century A.D., where Rom was rules by emperor Nero, and one of the most famous philosoph...

Just for Roughale: no, this is not the first D&D film; back in the year 2000, there was "Dungeons & Dragons" starring Jeremy Irons, which got two sort-of sequels on TV in "Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God" and "Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile...

Steven Spielberg may be one of the most famous directors alive, but he is no frequent Sneak visitor; in fact, it took until 2018's #1205 "The Post" for our sneak to feature a film directed by him - which was then closely followed by #1211 "Ready Player One". This year's Oscar co...

Hallo allerseits, von mir gibt es eine "2 minus" - was "Tár" aktuell immer noch auf Platz 1 des Sneakjahres befördert (und ihn in meiner Gesamt-Filmliste '23 derzeit ganz knapp hinter "Decision to Leave" auf Platz 2 einsortiert). Zunächst aber muß ich Cate Blanchett mei...

Todd Field is certainly not the most prolific writer/director alive. The 59 year old who Californian (who grew up in Oregon) started out as an actor in the late 1980s, but turned to writing and directing around the milennium, though he only made two films since then: 2001's "In the Bedroom&quo...

Hallo allerseits, schön, daß ich wieder in der Sneak dabei sein konnte - auch wenn der Film jetzt nicht das größte Highlight war. Von mir gibt es eine "Vier" für dieses B-Movie aus der Verschwörungstheoretikerkiste. Zunächst einmal war das wieder einer dieser Filme, die nur deswegen nicht ...

As the trailer cannot be shared outside of YouTube, a link must suffice this time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aovFuecPEeU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aovFuecPEeU As a book, "Napóleonsskjölin" was the debut novel of Icelandic journalist-turned-novelist Arnaldur Indriðason published w...

To get that out of the way first: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU . there I was, feeling sorry for myself, as I sat sequestered at home on a Sneak night for the first time in more than 23 years - and out of all possible dates, on my birthday! - but all that was forgotten once I heard you sneaky Sne...
