Some time ago I was in the cinema together with Astrid and watched the movie The Wave. It is based on the social experiment The Third Wave, which has been done in 1967 on the Cubberley High School in Palo Alto.

The main question is: "Is another dictatorship in Germany again possible now?"
There is a teacher and his pupils in a project week and they are supposed to work together on the topic autocracy.
It begins as a little game between the teacher and the pupils but soon everybody loses control of the experiment. It becomes clearer and clearer that a dictatorship is also possible in the present.

It's a great movie about that topic. You feel a little bit involved into the plot. I'm happy that I saw The Wave.

Today I saw Apple advertisement movies. They are really funny. They compare a PC with a Mac.

If you are interested in a Mac you should also read why you will love it.

Yesterday I saw the movie Grounding. It's about the last days of Swissair and how Mario Corti tried to help the company. Beside the normal story of the financial problems you get information about the people behinde Swissair.

The movie explained in a very detailed and interesting way how the Swissair was forced to stop flighting (grounding).

On Tuesday I watched together with Astrid The Good Shepherd at the cinema in Erfurt. It was amazing.

The seats there were really really awesome. The movie is about the history, repective the beginnings, of the CIA. There is a really young CIA agent which is involved in different operations - for example the Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba in 1961. And about his love to some women and to his son, who also go the CIA later.

It's a movie about the deal with information and disinformation; about the truth, the trust; about friendship and enemy.
And about how this special CIA agent (called "mother" by the Russians) handles this big game.

The movie is really worth to be seen.

The movie United 93 is about the United Airlines Flight 93 on its way from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco. It shows the story of the skyjacked aircraft how it passed its way on September 11, 2001.

It's a docudrama about the four terrorist attacks in the USA. It's very dramatical and really emotional but interesting nevertheless...

On last tuesday Astrid and I were together in our campus cinema to watch the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (information our cinema has got (German)).

It's a about an abstract view of the past, the present and the future of all lives. But the whole story cannot be told in one sentence... but it is really worth to be seen and the future in the film looks somehow beautiful. The technique seems unimaginable complex - and there is an AI in the movie called HAL - which has got in the end of the film the whole power (almost).

The story is a little bit long and sometimes a little bit emtpy. But the effects are great (old, but great) and the decorations and sets of the story were marvelless.

All in all it was a nice evening together with Astrid in the real world. And the moon shined so bright....

Just because of a very spontaneous idea of Linette we went this night into the movie Elementarteilchen (elementary particles).

It's a german movie about a france book. The topic is very easy, it's about sex - everywhere and at any time. I don't know the book, but the film is very strange at this point. There is almost no action but a lot of emotions and senseless talks. But it has got a nice spirit somehow...

It was a very nice night at the auditorium nevertheless.*gg*

Today I saw a Walt Disney film: Tron (amazon link)

It's a movie about users, their programs and the master control program (MCP). This film was created in 1982 but is still very cool.

Tron (short form of electronic) is a security program which has the power to fight against the MCP. It is really worth to watch this movie.

Today I saw again Avril Lavigne's Try To Shut Me Up tour - Buffalo NY concert 2003 - My World (DVD).

And I still wonder how much this woman rocks the house. I can feel every of her thoughts and her feelings in her songs (even if they are a little bit old). Futhermore I love her styling, her impressions and the way she told her stories very much.

After this session I realized that everybody who loves a skater girl must be a lucky person...

This day I saw another movie at the cinema: The Da Vinci Code - Sakrileg.

It was a free presentation only for teachers in our town. But as long as I am a free guy, I used my chance to go to this presentation and have a look at this lovely movie with Tom Hanks as one of the main characters.

The story wasn't too bad: There were many thesis about the church, Jesus and his relationship to Mary Magdalene and Opus Dei.

The film is a non-historical film, but it was very good to think across of our current point of view and our view of the world, our history and our belief.

The best movie I saw for a long while...

Today I saw a movie of Otto Waalkes - 7 Zwerge - Männer allein im Wald.

It's a movie that relates to the story of the Brothers Grimm.
Many german comedy stars play a huge of characters in this movie. It's very funny and a very good way to relax and just be entertained.

Enjoy it.

If you didn't noticed it, there exist a Grimme Online Award of published quality on the Internet.

Nominated are spreeblick.com in the category information, kuechenradio.org in the category culture and entertainment and ehrensenf.de in the same category for example.

Please vote for your favourite and have a great night!

Today I saw a wonderfull movie - Herr Lehmann.

It's about a man (Frank Lehmann), 30 years old who lived in Berlin (Kreuzberg) and the movie describes his life there and his point of view.
The story is very good to have an other view of the lifes of the germans in the western part of Berlin.

There exist also a wiki page of Herr Lehmann and a quotation page in the Wikiquote.

So have a nice day, and see you soon. :-)

Okay, I think I should blog about Scary Movie 4 nevertheless. It was the first time when I visited the cinema after a short while.

The movie was a little bit interesting. It was almost funny in some places - but all in all not the kind of humor I liked.
The story was not to bad, but the try to parodies the horror and mystery genres makes the story confusing and it was hard to follow the action of the movie.

I wouldn't want to say that you should go into your cinema and watch the film, too, but if the girl next to you is it worth, than the whole movie doesn't matter... believe me and have a nice night. :-)

I saw on Wednesday ZAPP with a report about Podcasts. Really nice. And with an interview with Toni Mahoni.

Toni Mahoni produces the Vodcast for Spreeblick. Cool guy with great stories.

If you understand German you can also download the ZAPP show via the CCC mirror or the Spreeblick mirror.
You can also read the great summary of the show written by Tim.
