Mini-Reviews #1 (2013-05-01)
So, a couple of short reviews for recently watched movies and television shows.
(Update 2023: Added five-star-ratings [may diverge now from what I had in mind, years ago, when I wrote the text…].)
Mini-Reviews #10 (2015-04-11)
A lot of material has been accumulated over the past months, so here’s already the next post.
Mini-Reviews #11 (2015-08-18)
Bad time for movies, but TV shows are getting better.
Mini-Reviews #12 (2016-01-10)
Again, the yield of good material was higher on the small screen than on the silver screen.
Mini-Reviews #13 (2016-02-11)
Here we go again. This time, a near endless supply of franchise sequels and mediocrity in the movie department and a small selection of TV show with mixed results.
Mini-Reviews #14 (2016-05-03)
And again, a little retrospect of the stuff that I’ve watched in the last couple of weeks and months:
Mini-Reviews #15 (2016-09-03)
Another summary of (some) movies and shows I’ve watched over the past months.
Mini-Reviews #16 (2017-01-02)
Better late than never: More opinions on some of the things that I’ve watched since the last time.
Mini-Reviews #17 (2017-07-15)
Hello again, long time no see. The following mini reviews are for stuff that I saw around late
2016/early 2017, but for which I didn’t find the time to write down until now.
Mini-Reviews #18 (2017-08-12)
Since I have to catch up a bit after my long hiatus, here’s the next batch of my short opinions on
some of the stuff that I’ve watched over the last couple of months and weeks.
Mini-Reviews #19 (2017-12-18)
It’s been a long, long time — high time for some comments of mine about (no so) recently watched material…
Mini-Reviews #2 (2013-06-16)
Time again for a quick roundup of verdicts for some of the recently wachted movies and TV shows.
Mini-Reviews #20 (2018-08-18)
Welcome back to another batch of my concise opinons about some recently watched movies and shows.
(Update 2023: Added five-star-ratings [may diverge now from what I had in mind, years ago, when I wrote the text…].)
Mini-Reviews #21 (2019-02-15)
It’s been a while, but here we go again: A quick recap and short opinion piece of some stuff I’ve
seen in the last couple of months.
Mini-Reviews #22 (2019-05-12)
Another entry in my list of short opinions on things that I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks and months and find notable.
Mini-Reviews #23 (2019-10-19)
Again, some short opinion pieces about movies and TV shows that I watched over the last couple of months.
Mini-Reviews #24 (2020-01-12)
Time for another quick run through the films and series that I’ve watched over the course of the last couple of months.
Mini-Reviews #25 (2020-05-17)
A few remarks on several movies and shows that I’ve viewed during the last couple of months.
And this time, I’ll try something new and add also a star rating to it…

Mini-Reviews #26 (2020-09-12)
Quite a long time since the last Mini-Review post, and thus a lot of stuff has accumulated,
including a lot of rewatches; so let’s get started…
Mini-Reviews #27 (2020-12-16)
Another round of mini-reviews for films and series that I found noteworthy enough to mention here…
Mini-Reviews #28 (2021-02-07)
Edition number 28 is here; the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 (“Corona virus”) pandemic over the last months has lead to
less new content (at least major mainstream content: several blockbusters have been postponed; while some others went straight to streaming services…),
which gave me the oppurtinity to [re]watch some older stuff and to catch up with some material that wasn’t too high on my list
(and now I know, why… *sigh*).
Mini-Reviews #29 (2021-05-25)
More mini-reviews of stuff that I’ve seen over the last couple of months…
Mini-Reviews #3 (2013-07-21)
Again, a quick summary of (more or less) noteworthy material that I’ve watched over the last couple of weeks.
Mini-Reviews #30 (2021-07-17)
Another batch of mini-reviews for films and shows/seasons that I’ve watched over the last couple of months…
Mini-Reviews #31 (2021-08-22)
Time again for some mini-reviews of mine…
Mini-Reviews #32 (2021-10-06)
Once more, a few sentences aboout the noteworthy movies and shows that I’ve watched over the last couple of week/months.
Mini-Reviews #33 (2021-11-07)
Let’s see what I’ve watched in the recent weeks…
Mini-Reviews #34 (2021-12-17)
Short opinion pieces about the noteworthy items that I’ve watched over the last weeks…
Mini-Reviews #35 (2022-03-04)
More mini-reviews from the past months.
Mini-Reviews #36 (2022-04-29)
More mini-verdicts of the noteworthy material that I’ve watched over the last months.
Mini-Reviews #37 (2022-08-21)
So, this edition had quite a long gap between when I started writing it (2022-05-14), and when I finally
finished and posted it (2022-08-21).
Mini-Reviews #38 (2022-10-26)
Uh, once more… you know the drill…
Mini-Reviews #39 (2022-12-31)
I’ve seen those items here mostly in September/October, but it took me so long to write some words about them (life, *sigh*).
Anyways, here it is, finally, just before New Year’s Day of 2023 (UTC+1).

Mini-Reviews #4 (2013-09-24)
And another opinion piece about the stuff I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.
Mini-Reviews #40 (2023-04-06)
<Insert-witty/insightful-introduction-text-here> … *sigh*
Mini-Reviews #41 (2023-05-29)
My observation: One of the themes that’s running throughout this and previous entries is
that a lot of so-called “classics” from long time ago, often fail to still impress/wow me,
now that I watch them again (or for the first time).
Mini-Reviews #42 (2023-07-22)
Catching-up on the notable things that I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.
Mini-Reviews #43 (2023-07-31)
Quite a few 1-star reviews this time; seems to be a dead season…
Mini-Reviews #44 (2023-09-03)
Looking at my star rating alone, it seems to be a mostly average/sub-average selection this time;
therefore I was all the more happy about the few highlights which I still could find in the heap.
Mini-Reviews #45 (2023-12-18)
And here is, after a long while and with quite a delay, a new overview.
(The drafts for #46 and #47 are already in the works, so hopefully it won’t take forever…)

Mini-Reviews #46 (2024-01-27)
Lots of re-watches this time of films that I’ve seen before.
One reason might be that I need to remind myself of better times.
On the other hand: Many also get an [below] average grading, so not everything was better in the past 😉

Mini-Reviews #47 (2024-03-04)
Time for another overview of what I’ve watched over the last couple of months…
Mini-Reviews #48 (2024-04-14)
I’m (re)watching many more older films than in the months before, it seems.
Mini-Reviews #49 (2024-07-14)
Lots of rewatches, mostly of quite old films; and even a few first-views, also of older films…
Seems like the current movies don’t really appeal to me much. I mean, even the recently and newly made films are often very generic, bland and too long…
