Siiiigh… World Cup ’94 in the United States of America… so many memories of that huge and glorious event. I was in primary school back then and can perfectly remember how Italy lost their first group match against football giants Ireland or how could one forget; Roberto Baggio’s amazing penalty kick in the final game, […]

Intouchables
Starring: François Cluzet, Omar Sy and Anne Le Ny Directed by: Eric Toledano Intouchables (or Untouchable, in English) was a very pleasant surprise to me for 2012. Considering that I’m not that much into french movies and that Intouchables is on the run to become the most successful movie in France, leaving La Grande […]
Christmas Special – The Little Nazi
The older I get, the more I dislike Christmas. Seems like I lost my “emotional bond” to this over-commercialized orgy of hypocrisy during the last 7 years or so. We are enchanted by this magic contemplation, whilst ignoring all the misery happening around us, but let’s be nice to each other, even just for the […]
Mr. Oizo – Stade 2
First off, if you’re into “cheap” electronic music and think David Guetta is an angel sent from heaven, you should not read any further. Just go to McDonalds and enjoy your Happy Meal as it is easily digestible. Thank you. Quentin Dupieux a.k.a. Mr. Oizo did it again. He released another banger of a record […]
Kirby’s Adventure
Every single one of us has got his ultimate favorite videogame. When I talk to my friends about their favorite game, classics like Mario Kart, Rock’n Roll Racing, Mega Man or Zelda come up. Given the fact that I never owned a Super Nintendo as my parents knew that this would worsen my mental labilities, […]
Staplerfahrer Klaus
Directed by: Stefan Prehn & Jörg Wagner Produced by: Michael Sombetzki Starring: Konstantin Graudus It seems just like yesterday when I first saw this gem of a short movie at Luc’s place. I remember watching Forklift Driver Klaus 6 years ago and the impact it had on me, since I’m not the biggest gore afficionado; […]
The Hunt
I always hated the fucking dog at DuckHunt on the NES. His gleeful and malicious laugh always made me wish I could jump into my television and beat the crap out of that sucker! But this short movie made me shit my pants in fear as it is a dark take on the NES classic. […]

Lebanon
Written and directed by: Samuel Maoz Starring: Yoav Donat, Itay Tiran and Oshri Cohen Release date: 15th October 2009 “Man is steel. The tank is only iron.” Little did I know about the First Lebanon War and after watching this movie, I don’t want to know much more about it because war is something disturbing […]
Tim Hecker – Ravedeath, 1972 & Dropped Pianos
For the last months I unfolded a passion for a music genre that I’d like to call abstract music. Most people tend to define this genre as ambient / drone / whatever, but I prefer to rely on my own definitions of music instead of blindly following trends and assuming new tags on last.fm as […]
