Title: Weißblaue Geschichten
This set includes 18 of the produced 22 episodes which star Gustl Bayrhammer. For unexplained reasons, four episodes are not included. Sadly one of those is an episode which did leave a lasting impression with me. At least I think it was from this series. It was an episode guest-starring G.G. Hoffmann (the German voice of Captain Kirk and early Sean Connery)

It has been 12 years and I finally got the missing episode
Recently I found out by chance, that there is now a second volume of this anthology series, which includes the 4 episodes they had skipped in the first volume. And my memory served me right. the episode guest starred G.G. Hoffmann. Though I never found any hints on the internet that he was ever involved in the series. Nowhere this information can be found. But I recognized his voice immediately and the end credits confirmed it

Death Note: TV Drama: The Complete Collection (2015/Japan) IMDb | Wikipedia (Germany)

I am fan of the Death Note series. I have read and enjoyed the manga series. Seen the anime adaption. I am a big fan of the 2006 movie adaption.
This 2015 TV series is a retelling. Quality wise it is similar to the 2006 movie. It very much reminded me of it. From the actors to the sets. At first it seemed they are following the same path, but very early on you notice changes in the characters. A lot of the plans that Light has in the manga/movies, he also has here, but somehow they all seem to fail and he has to find new solutions to get out of his troubles. So even if you know the story, this series is worth a watch. I really enjoyed it from beginning to end.

My Thoughts:

I haven't read the book. But I enjoyed this movie. I know the movie is not that critically acclaimed, but I really like it. I have seen it in the past on streaming services. And I decided to add it to my collection recently and still enjoyed this movie the second time around. But that may be mostly because of the 80s nostalgia in this movie.

My Thoughts:

I heard a lot of praising things about it. But the trailer never won me really around. But I had decided to buy it, because I thought it should be something exactly to my liking. I finally came around to watch it after it won so many Oscars. But I must say, I was really bored by it and it took multiple sessions to completly get through it. I should have listened to my initial gut reaction to this movie.

Rating:

I felt pretty much the same from the trailer. When I spotted the 4K release at a pawn shop for only $2 brand new sealed I grabbed it anyway for that price. Then The Oscars got me excited to watch it, this film is one of the reasons I decided on a 4K marathon for the rest of this month! LOL Now your review has me concerned again!

I really am curious what your thoughts on this movie are. So cannot wait for you to watch it

My Thoughts:

This was now the second time that I have watched this movie. I took it out of my storage, because I think my son is now ready to watch this movie and he is a big LEGO fan. We have a lot of LEGO sets and we play a lot of LEGO games on Nintendo Switch, like Marvel Superheroes and LEGO City Undercover.
This time around I watched it alone though, because I had the urge to watch it again in original English. Hopefully we come around to watch together the German dub.
I enjoy this movie. Especially the ending and all the references to 80s LEGO. For example the astronaut with the broken helmet. I have a lot of those broken helmets in my old LEGO collection.
I also have LEGO Batman Movie in my collection, which I remember that I had enjoyed more than this. I will watch it soon.

My Thoughts:

This was the second time, that I have watched this movie. The first time, when it came out on Disney+.
I have to say, that I enjoyed it more the second time. Probably because the first time it didn't match my expectations about the multiverse storyline. But now, that I knew what they were going for, I could appreciate it more.
A little problem though is, that it assumes that you have seen WandaVision. I had, but my wife, with whom I watched it now, hadn't. And she was a little lost because of the kid's that Wanda supposedly had.

Plot:
Er ist ein Cop aus der Anti-Terror-Einheit von Los Angeles. Und so ist der Alarm für Jack Traven nichts Ungewöhnliches: Ein Terrorist will drei Millionen Dollar erpressen, oder die zufälligen Geiseln in einem Aufzug fallen 35 Stockwerke in die Tiefe. Doch Jack schafft das Unmögliche – die Geiseln werden gerettet und der Terrorist stirbt an seiner eigenen Bombe. Scheinbar. Denn schon wenig später steht Jack (Keanu Reeves) dem Bombenexperten Payne erneut gegenüber. Diesmal hat sich der Erpresser eine ganz perfide Mordwaffe ausgedacht: Er platziert eine Bombe in einem öffentlichen Bus. Der Mechanismus der Sprengladung schaltet sich automatisch ein, sobald der Bus schneller als 50 Meilen in der Stunde fährt und detoniert sofort, sobald die Geschwindigkeit sinkt. Plötzlich wird für eine Handvoll ahnungsloser Durchschnittsbürger der Weg zur Arbeit zum Höllentrip – und nur Jack hat ihr Leben in der Hand. Als der Busfahrer verletzt wird, übernimmt Fahrgast Annie (Sandra Bullock) das Steuer. Doch wohin mit einem Bus, der nicht bremsen kann in der Stadt der Staus? Doch es kommt noch schlimmer. Payne (Dennis Hopper) will jetzt nicht nur "seine" drei Millionen Dollar. Er will Jack. Um jeden Preis.

My Thoughts:

This movie is a combined version of the two movies "The Death of Superman" and "The Reign of the Supermen". And is the second attempt to make an animated movie out of "The Death of Superman" storyline from the comics. The first was Superman: Doomsday, which heavily shortened the storyline to fit in 70 minutes runtime. This movie here is over 2.5 hours long. And I really enjoyed it. If you enjoyed Superman: Doomsday, it is worth to check this one out. It is a completely different movie.

My Thoughts:

I finally came around watching this movie. I really enjoyed it. It is not much of a must-see as the others, but I think it is a good solution to the story (even though Toy Story 3 already provided a greate solution).
The graphics are really astonishing. How far CGI has come. If there were no characters involved, you could think this is a live-action movie.
Early on I thought this feels more just like another adventure for the characters, but the movie concludes in a way, that I feel now is a good time to stop.

My Thoughts:

This movie took me several sittings until I finally got through months after I started it. I was bored to death by it. Some action scenes were well executed and the special effects were good, but the story and the direction was boring as hell.
I feel the studio thought it sounds not good on paper, but expected it to be a Guardians of the Galaxy hit. But it didn't work out that way.
