Short opinion pieces about films and TV shows that I’ve watched since 2025-05-20.

I realized that, due to life circumstances, I don’t (want to) watch a lot of stuff at the moment…

Mini-Reviews #50

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Another posting with mini-reviews during the past months (for orientation: I began this list on 2024-04-28).

Mini-Reviews #49

Sun, 14 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

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…

Mini-Reviews #48

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I’m (re)watching many more older films than in the months before, it seems.

Mini-Reviews #47

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Time for another overview of what I’ve watched over the last couple of months…

Mini-Reviews #46

Sat, 27 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

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 #45

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

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 #44

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

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 #43

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Quite a few 1-star reviews this time; seems to be a dead season…

Mini-Reviews #42

Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Catching-up on the notable things that I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.

Mini-Reviews #41

Mon, 29 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

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 #40

Thu, 06 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000

<Insert-witty/insightful-introduction-text-here> … *sigh*

Mini-Reviews #39

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

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 #38

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Uh, once more… you know the drill…

Mini-Reviews #37

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000

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).

More mini-reviews of stuff that I’ve seen over the last couple of months…

Mini-Reviews #28

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 20:08:30 +0100

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 #27

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 20:28:54 +0100

Another round of mini-reviews for films and series that I found noteworthy enough to mention here…

Mini-Reviews #26

Sat, 12 Sep 2020 23:13:45 +0200

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 #25

Sun, 17 May 2020 16:28:53 +0200

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…

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 #20

Sat, 18 Aug 2018 19:58:20 +0000

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 #19

Mon, 18 Dec 2017 00:44:05 +0000

It’s been a long, long time — high time for some comments of mine about (no so) recently watched material…

Mini-Reviews #18

Sat, 12 Aug 2017 23:38:35 +0000

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 #17

Sat, 15 Jul 2017 21:47:21 +0000

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 #16

Mon, 02 Jan 2017 13:41:06 +0000

Mini-Reviews #14

Tue, 03 May 2016 00:06:23 +0000

And again, a little retrospect of the stuff that I’ve watched in the last couple of weeks and months:

Mini-Reviews #13

Thu, 11 Feb 2016 01:18:56 +0000

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 #12

Sun, 10 Jan 2016 20:16:06 +0000

Again, the yield of good material was higher on the small screen than on the silver screen.

Mini-Reviews #11

Tue, 18 Aug 2015 02:32:17 +0000

Bad time for movies, but TV shows are getting better.

Mini-Reviews #10

Sat, 11 Apr 2015 14:43:57 +0000

A lot of material has been accumulated over the past months, so here’s already the next post.

This time, the yield of good material is way higher than in the previous entry.
