Mirrors was very thrilling to see. The story is not very different from most horror movies, but it’s a good one. It’s scary, brutal and the end is genius. Kiefer Sutherland as Ben Carson is my personal highlight of the movie, reminding me a little of Flatliners. A broken man that is doubting his senses and though trying to stand against his fears. The other world, the one behind the looking glass is described as dark and horrible in this movie. If you like horror movies, see this one. Beware, the 18+ classification for German cinemas is justified. 8 of 10.

The german production of Krabat (with some very cool german actors) was a disappointment. I expected a movie that was close to the book and not miles away like this pseudo romantic rape of the book model. The only nice adoption is the masters voice and force over his journeymen. A lot of conflicts, events and depht is lost compared to the book.
After all, I had expected more, but it’s 4 of 10. If you have the time to read the book, do it and don’t waste the money on the cinema (or bandwidth for the download).
If you know the book, the songs done by ASP on this topic may interest you. The album “Zaubererbruder” is dedicated to Ottfried Preußlers wonderful book.

5/10 After all, it was entertaining, so it’s an average movie with nice effects.

Girl, Intterupted is based on a true story, starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. We follow Susanna Kayson into a psychiatric institution and experience her ups, downs, new friends and enemies. I can only recommend this movie for everyone who ever had anything to do with psychial diseases. Reminded me of Gothica, because it too describes how powerless you are, once you’re in. 5/6

Solar, the name of a short-movie, that was created by Ian Wharton & Edward Shires, two students, that just graduated from the Cumbria Institute of Arts. They won the “best-of-show” with their project Solar. The project itself took, according to Ian and Edward seven month to realize. The short-film itself is a great dip into another world that once more shows us the power of digital rendering. For the play time of 4.17 minutes, the Quicktime codec is needed. The making of is available too.

Simpsons – the movie. A lot of people were counting the days until the 27th of July this year, so they could enjoy the Simpsons movie. I saw it and I was entertained, no doubt. As the tv-series the movie is packed with side blows on social and political issues, but always in a funny and entertaining manner. The movie is very diversified and is everything else but boring. I met a lot of known characters and even the simpsonified version of Green Day is involved. Even if we know the characters pretty well now, the never caring Homer, the Lisa, trying to improve the world and the constantly joking Bart, this movie is unpredictable! So.. go and see it! I will not download this movie! (Or if you do, see it in the cinema too) now go and write that on a chalkboard like Bart does, in the intro

The short movie Elephants Dream was exclusively created with open source software. It’s available for free on the internet. The movie is done by the orange movie project. The old guy reminds of Agent Smith from the Matrix, especially the scene where Agent Smith describes the Matrix and its perfection. The old guy too describes how perfect the machine is. Big parts of the movie were created in blender.

The cover if the DVD caught my attention, because of the nice vector in the front. A Scanner Darkly is a masterpiece of animation. The main characters actor is Keanu Reeves which makes the movie more interesting than it is in the first place. The visual effects reminded me of the comic shooter XIII. The main character, Bob, lives his life in a world that is poisoned by total observation and a mysterious drug named substance D. The open ending of the story is partly directed to the audience. What are we believing and what do we want to believe?
