Halloween Reviews 2003
It’s Halloween Season, and as I had promised last year, I have begun to review more movies. Here’s what I have reviewed so far: 1. [The Quatermass Xperiment](/2002/10/16/the-quatermass-xperiment/) 2. [Event Horizon](/2003/10/20/event-horizon/) 3. [Halloween 1](/2003/10/27/halloween-1/) Don’t forget to read last year’s … Continue reading
Event Horizon
Finally, here we have a movie that’s much more appropriate to Halloween. Sure, it’s a science-fiction movie but that doesn’t really change anything. Event Horizon is a splatter-shocker-horror-movie, plain and simple. Event Horizon stars Laurence Fishburne (in the role of … Continue reading
Coke Prices
Here at the Kiosk at work they raised the price for a 0.3 litres bottle of coke. They expect you to pay 0.7 Euros. Seventy cents – for a third of a litre of coke? Hell no. This will be … Continue reading

Website about Frankfurt's Nazi past
There’s a new website about Frankfurt’s history during the Nazi years. It makes a decent impression, considering it’s heavily java-scripted. It’s always good to know about the exile you have to live in.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind DVD
When I went to the DVD fair with Olav, I bought only one DVD: The collector’s edition of “Close Encounters”, at an amazing price of merely 10 euros. It’s the 2 DVD version, too, and tonight I finally watched the … Continue reading
When Worlds Collide

Invasion from Mars (1986)
My [Martian Movie Marathon](/2003/08/27/martian-movie-marathon/) is progressing. After I watched the quite crummy [original of Invasion from Mars](/2003/08/31/invasion-from-mars-1953/), I continued with the updated version. The story is basically the same: A spaceship from Mars lands behind the young guy David’s house … Continue reading
Invasion from Mars (1953)
Part Three of my [Martian Movie Marathon](/2003/08/27/martian-movie-marathon/) was Invasion from Mars – and to be precise, the version from 1953. What can I say – it’s a b-movie, and I do not mean this in any good way. Invasion from … Continue reading
Mars Attacks!
Finally, my [Martian Movie Marathon](/2003/08/27/martian-movie-marathon/) is coming to an end. And what better way to conclude this than with Tim Burton’s “Mars Attacks!”, the definite satire of the Mars Invasion sub-genre. Packed full of cool jokes, Mars Attacks! portrays what … Continue reading
On the Road with an iBook
As you are probably aware if you know me or have been following my website for a while, I own an iBook G3/500 as a portable computer. And don’t get me wrong, I love this machine as I have really … Continue reading
