You Don't Mess With The Zohan

Saw it on Friday.

Really cool movie!

Very funny and also a lot of action!

Adam Sandler is great as Zohan Dvir (a.k.a. The Zohan, a.k.a. Scrappy Coco) a counter-terrorist. He is the best. Some mix between Rambo and Superman - simply unbeatable.
But he's fed up with war and fighting, all he wants is to be a hairdresser. So he goes to the USA to make his dream come true. After some hurdles, when he finally made it, his past catches up, and Phantom, his archenemy, comes for the final show down.

Great movie with a lot of laughs!
Partly insane but extremely funny!

You won't regret it!

The X-Files: I Want To Believe

Seen on Friday.

To be honest, I had expected a lot more.

It's a great thriller with suspence a action, but it's just not 'The X-Files'.

I stopped watching the TV series when the whole story started to become to complicated inside the FBI; I loved the older episodes with lots of mystery and aliens and other supernatural stuff.

Can't really remember the first movie - but I don't think it was so special either, when I can't remember anything.

This time there is to much about Scully's and Mulder's past - don't even know if they really had a common past with a deeper relation or if the just put it in to make the movie a bit more interesting.
Only mystical thing is that there's a priest - a sentenced pedophile - who has visions of kidnapped women, because of his spiritual connection to one of his past victims.

If you want to see a thriller, it's a great movie.

If you want 'The X-Files', you should at least save the money for the cinema and rent the DVD later.

Get Smart

Seen Yesterday.

Sooo damn funny! Partly I nearly laughed my head off!

It's some time ago - about 18 years or so - since I saw the old Maxwell Smart played by Don Adams, but as far as I can remember it was one of the funniest secret agent tv series I've ever seen so far.
Steve Carell is fantastic as Maxwell Smart a.k.a. Agent 86.

Together with the CONTROL-Agents 99 (Anne Hathaway), 23 (Dwayne Johnson) and the chief (Alan Arkin), Smart has to save the world from KAOS' latest plans, after the CONTROL-headquarter was attacked and all the agent's identities were revealed.

A lot of slapstick comedy and fantastic and funny action make this movie a great pleasure to be seen!
I would nearly go as far as to say it's a must-see.

joined postcrossing

About two weeks ago I joined postcrossing.
It's a project where members get adresses from other members to send them a postcard and receive one from some other member.
I think its a pretty cool idea!
Just got my five first adresses. Cards will be sent to Finland, USA, Germany, Netherlands and Portugal.
When they reach the receipients I will receive my first regular cards. :-)

There is also a forum where people make special arrangements and trade cards (and other stuff) big style. But I think I will keep my hands off of that - too expensive. ;-)

In that forum Julia asked some people to send cards to me while she sends them some of hers to get me started. She is such a sweety!
I already received this three beautiful cards - from Finland (wonderful Aurora Borealis), France (great multiview of the city of Munster) and Germany (nightview of the famous Oktoberfest). :-)

Kris Kristofferson in Vienna

Friday, 18. July, 2008

Wonderfull concert!

On Thursday my friend Maze told me that Kris will be in Vienna on Friday.
Didn't think I would get a good ticket, but luck was on my side and I got the last ticket in the 16th row. Around that seat all were already sold. Then there were just a few tickets - 20 or so - in the last rows left. Lucky me! :-)

To be honest before this concert I didn't know too much about Kris Kristofferson. Only saw him the in 'Blade'-Trilogy and 'Convoy' and knew that he had sung the theme-song of 'Convoy'.

The concert was really worth being seen!

His songs and his whole appearance seemed pretty true and honest to me.
The songs are great and the things he said between them were pretty cool. Like when in advance of one song he said 'I wrote it for my kids and their momS.' - got a lot of laughs.
But he also said serious things. He mentioned that these days news are rather depressing everytime you read the paper but he's faithful that soon there will be the headline 'Barack Obama - new president of the United States'. From the reactions of the audience you could tell that people all over the world hope for a change, and maybe Obama could be the start of several changes all over the planet.

After the first hour he made a short intermission and as the lights went on a guy ran to the stage with a guitar case and Kris signed his guitar right away. I found that very kind of him!

To bad I didn't have my camera with me, but here's a little video from youtube-user wuzlump.
