Assembly Required (2021– )

Home Worker King

[8 May 2023]

I'm sorry

Unfortunately, this series was not dubbed into German. There is only a German over chatter, so the English almost swells through more. Therefore, I will not do that to me.

I have no idea why the Germans don't try harder. After all, my suspicion has been for some time, there are no more.

Where is the verve, where is the imagination? It's as if they've all completely given up on themselves.

I really liked "Listen to Who's Hammering." But if Germans aren't even capable of dubbing correctly anymore, what am I supposed to be able to watch well, and especially hear?

If I could, I would offer myself. But I am unfortunately only an enthusiastic spectator when it is really enthusiastic.

Groundhog Day (1993)

The last classic romantic comedy with great fun

[10/10 · 10 January 2022]

Of course, many "of today" cannot understand this. But as far as I'm concerned, this movie here is actually the last real classic romantic comedy (when I think of Rock Hudson and Doris Day & Co), where the joke rises to great fun. And by that I only mean the romantic comedies, where the "drama" is completely absent. For example, in "Sleepless in Seattle with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks" the drama is present.

The great fun from "Man's Favorite Sport?" from 1964 with Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss ends in 1993 with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell in "Groundhog Day".

In many movies of the last 30 years, I missed this kind of fun a lot when I watched movies about love.

Die Ente klingelt um halb acht (1968)

Classics without acceptance

[7/10 · 14 March 2021]

This classic comedy is wrongly ripped off by self-proclaimed experts. It is the only German comedy with Italian support that was shot as if it came directly from America.

Hercules Recycled 2.0 (2020)

Scary

[30 January 2021]

It's always scary. When the deceased are summoned back into life by the prevailing adjustment, long after their death, by new films. And they, because they are dead, can no longer express themselves.

Whether we get this film translated into German is in the stars.

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Of All Time

[9/10 · 7 January 2021]

The best four-piece of all time. All the others were destroyed by Reboots & Co.

Fatman (2020)

Comedy?

[6/10 · 18 December 2020]

A sadistic drama. With a little bit of action. No trace of comedy.

Merkel (2020 TV Movie)

Madness

[7/10 · 25 April 2020]

After 32 years (The Cat - Götz George) 7/10 again a school grade 2 for a "pure" German feature film

The Mating Game (1959)

A World of my Heart

[9/10 · 3 March 2020]

09/10 - I want to go there. And the sad thing is that this will never be possible, because what is shown in the film will never happen anywhere on this earth again. "A Lost World" that would have been worth saving.

Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019) Season 8, Episode 6

The Devil and his Children

[1/10 · 9 February 2020]

This series is a series of the devil. The followers of this series are the children of the devil. And every thumb down is the weakness of evil pride in admitting the truth.

Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019) Season 8, Episode 3

Fever

[4/10 · 9 February 2020]

Stupid melody fever as if it were a silent movie. This Part is for blind poeple. You don't need ears for this.

Maya the Bee: The Honey Games (2018)

Without Love

[6 February 2020]

Before I do such a "cramp", I prefer to look at "The Augsburg Doll Box" with "Schlupp of the green star".

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)

Ice And Fire

[4/10 · 3 February 2020]

Praised by many to heaven. A series that consists of 95 percent assholes, sadists and beasts. For nine years I i've refused to watch this series and now that I've struggled to do so, I've already regretted having started. 17 episodes seen and the score is 5 to 2 points. "Arya Stark" is the only role, which is why I haven't thrown this series yet.

I guess what character those who award 8 to 10 points have...

Immer Ärger mit den Paukern (1968)

Fun Comedy

[8/10 · 25 January 2020]

If I want to see a good pure German film, then I have to travel to the old times and choose one before 1989. After 1989, I did not meet a single film that earned me more than 6 points on IMDB. If some manage to score 7 or 8 points, it is German co-productions.

This film with Roy Black, Uschi Glas and Georg Thomalla has a current IMDB rating of less than 4 points. But from me he gets a whopping 8 points. Why? Because in this film there is still what I miss most in the German movies today: real fun.

And it is the films with Georg Thomalla from 1965 to 1975 that offer this fun that I am so lacking today. So I chose the genre "fun comedy" for myself, because many supposed comedies show no fun at all. Maximum they show the essence of Woody Allen, with his sweet lemons.

The film "Always Trouble with the Teachers" may not give much in terms of content, but in a fun spirit it greatly surpasses other films that call themselves comedies and yet are not.

If you don't like this movie, you'll probably like the non-funny movies of today and be so lemony on it.

Deal of the Century (1983)

Sexy Weaver

[5/10 · 5 January 2020]

The film itself (in content) is pretty much for the chickens. But Sigourney Weaver looks really sexy in this strip, which is almost rare for her. That's why the film is worth not just watching it once.

The Blackcoat's Daughter (I) (2015)

I wish I knew

[4 January 2020]

I do not understand that. Julia Roberts and Sharon Stone have a lot of movies I watch, but Margot Robbie and Emma Stone don't have a single one that might at least interest me halfway. And even Emma Roberts doesn't make it. This film is the first where there is at least interest. What is this just a time?

Benjamin the Elephant (2019)

Modern Bad Movies

[30 December 2019]

I love the old cartoon movies. I can't do anything with these modern chunky monster movies, that was already the case with the last two Asterix movies. Absolutely not mine.

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Best forever

[10/10 · 26 December 2019]

The best Christmas story of all time, with an intense message for every real person. At the same time entertaining and unforgettable.

Rambo: Last Blood (2019)

modern films

[8/10 · 3 October 2019]

The last decade of 2010 to 2019 has almost nothing to offer for me, with a few exceptions.... Rambo 5 is an exception...

The Country Doctor (1987–2013)

Only Christian Quadflieg

[7/10 · 18 June 2019]

I like and see only the first episodes with Christian Quadflieg. My rating (7) is only for the Quadflieg episodes. - Dr Karsten Mattiesen (40 episodes, 1987-1992) -

John Wick (2014)

Reeves comes Down

[2/10 · 26 May 2019]

A terrible movie. This is not for me. Reeves was earlier a classic star. But in this movies he got down. Where is his love ? - Movies how "1996 Chain Reaction" are beautiful in the mind. But this feature can not into my movie heart.

NCIS (2003– )

2000-2009 / 2010-2019

[9/10 · 27 August 2018]

Sorry but this series is the best series in the two times 2000-2009 and 2010-2019. No other series have this mark. In my eyes CSI Las Vegas was first but this series comes down as William Petersen left his role.

I search a second series but I don't find this. All of I see is in the times 90er, 80er, 70er, 60er, but in our time is nothing.

NCIS is only this series I see in the actually time.

Charmed: The Good, the Bad and the Cursed (2001) Season 3, Episode 14

Nice & Best

[8/10 · 21 August 2018]

This episode is One of the best and nice episodes of the whole series. The fantasy is exlusive. The memory is an evergreen. Prue and Cole as a team is great. An only western feature. It is better than many western films. In my mind is this Episode in the Top Ten.

Master Eder and His Pumuckl (1982–1989)

Good Retro Forever

[9/10 · 27 June 2018]

A TV series for the whole family. An evergreen. Good play, good starring, good view. I missing this art of series in our time today. Looking this and your heart will be happy.

Löwenzahn (1981– )

Old & New

[9/10 · 28 January 2018]

I like the old series of Löwenzahn with Peter Lustig (9) But I don't like the new Continue Series with Guido Hammesfahr (4) The Different is also: Löwenzahn with Peter Lustig (1981-2005) was a series for the whole family but Löwenzahn with Guido Hammesfahr (Fritz Fuchs) is a series for the modern children only.
