27.03.2024 • STREAM IT NOW: 3 BODY PROBLEM
The eight episodes of the first season of »3 Body Problem« have been available to stream on Netflix since Thursday last week.

The Netflix production is based on the award-winning »Trisolaris Trilogy« by Chinese author Liu Cixin. The »Game of Thrones« showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss as well as the »True Blood« producer and author Alexander Woo are responsible for the series.

The complex plot unfolds on two timelines. In the late 1960s, the young Ye Wenjie (young: Zine Tseng, old: Rosalind Chao) experiences the Chinese Cultural Revolution and witnesses the murder of her father. Her scientific talent saves her and she is exiled to rural China to work at a secret radio telescope base where they are looking for extraterrestrial life. Ye Wenjie sends a message into space and receives a response years later. She makes a decision that will change the fate of the world forever ...

Today, science is in crisis. Agent Da Shi (Benedict Wong) investigates the mysterious deaths of a 32 scientists. They often look like suicides, but they might also be murders. Some scientists saw a constant countdown before their eyes before they died. Five former fellow students called "The Oxford Five" get caught up in the whirlwind ...

The series tells us an original and twist-filled story and deals with a whole range of philosophical topics. The question of whether humans are good or bad is a central issue. Whether it is the actions of the Cultural Revolutionaries, or the decisions of Ye Wenjie or those of the secret service, everyone always thinks of themselves as "the good guys", even if they bring about bad things. Does the end really justify the means? And what drives the protagonists? When Ye Wenjie contacts the aliens, is it for the good of humanity or to satisfy her own thirst for revenge? The show also deals with religion, value systems, the responsibility of science, the meaning of life and a lot of physics.

The series is superbly acted and cast across the board. Three actors from the »Game of Thrones« team - Liam Cunningham, Jonathan Pryce and John Bradley - are also on board.

The camera, production design and costumes also generate visuals that we have not seen before. Above all, the virtual world presented in a very advanced video game that is important for the further plot is fascinating and boasts great ideas and concepts. There are a few lengths here and there, but clever cliffhangers keep us hooked.

Even though the series takes its time with some events, it rushes through its material a bit quickly in the last third of the season. In the short amount of time it is also not possible to warm up to the multitude of characters. Some protagonists have not really been able to develop so far, which can of course change with the second season. We very much hope that we will get one. You can never be completely sure with Netflix. But since the streaming service has pumped a lot of money into the production, we are confident.
26.03.2024 • I'M NOT AFRAID O' YOU, MARTY.
It's time once again to remember a cinematic masterpiece. 40 years ago today, »Blood Simple«, the Coen brothers' debut film, celebrated its world premiere at the USA Film Festival in Dallas.

At a time when there was no internet, let alone something like crowdfunding, the brothers Joel and Ethan Coen spent over a year going from door to door to raise the money for their debut. Their friend Sam Raimi advised them to shoot a two-minute "trailer" for their film to convince potential investors of its concept. They ultimately raised $750,000 - enough money to begin production.

With this first film, a cynical neo-noir story about betrayal, murder, wrong decisions and deadly misunderstandings, the brothers put a big exclamation mark on the screen. With all the freshness, the narrative poise, the polished dialogues and directorial brilliance, it's hard to believe that »Blood Simple« is actually a debut work. Anyone who saw the film at the time probably knew: There was more to come from these brothers! Other masterpieces such as »Miller’s Crossing«, »Fargo«, »The Big Lebowski«, »No Country for Old Men« and »True Grit« were to follow.

For Frances McDormand, who has been married to Joel Coen since 1984, »Blood Simple«, in which she played the unfaithful wife, also marked the start of her multiple Oscar-winning career.

If »Blood Simple« is on your DVD shelf, it's high time to put it back in the player. If you haven't tasted blood yet, the trailer for the restored 4K version of the film is sure to whet your appetite:

25.03.2024 • THE PENGUIN
At the moment, studios, TV channels and streaming services are pampering us with trailers for upcoming highlights on the big screen and the small screen. Last Friday, Max presented us with the first trailer for »The Penguin«, a sequel to the Matt Reeves film »The Batman«. The eight-part miniseries directly follows the events of »The Batman« and Colin Farrell once again plays the titular character of crime boss Oswald Cobblepot, who reaches for power in Gotham City to fill the newly formed vacuum and put himself at the top of the underworld.

In the USA, the series is scheduled to start streaming this fall. When and where the show will be available to watch elsewhere remains to be seen. We'll have to wait a little longer for »The Batman Part II«. The release is currently scheduled for October 2, 2026.

The »The Penguin« trailer gives us hope for an exciting gangster series and exudes the finest film noir atmosphere that »The Batman« already mastered. Colin Farrell as The Penguin has the cailber of a godfather! See for yourselves:

22.03.2024 • BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE & HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
Holy Moly, this week is ripe with new trailers! After »The Acolyte«, »Furiosa« and »Alien«, we got previews for 2 more eagerly awaited releases:


Last Night we received a call from the dead by our beloved Bio-Exorcist. This September, the living will have to be careful again, because Michael Keaton will be back as Beetlejuice. We are also happy to welcome Winona Ryder back as Lydia Deetz.

The teaser doesn't show too much, but enough to delight our black hearts: Every camera setting gives us sweet memories of the beautiful moments we had with the cult classic. It seems like the creators hermetically sealed all props and backdrops to present them again 36 years later in a newfound splendor.

We are happy to celebrate the re-union with Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz. The Juice is loose!
https://youtu.be/e6yDanmWI1E


We were also granted new insights into the world of Westeros - in 2 new epic trailers for »House of the Dragon«! A "Black Trailer" from Queen Rhaenyra's POV and a "Green Trailer" from King Aegon's POV get us in the mood for the impending Dance of the Dragons:
https://youtu.be/csSaSrJJPRs
https://youtu.be/gnxB9xZByyQ

The fight for the Iron Throne continues - starting on the 16th of June, we will get a new episode of season 2 weekly. We can't wait to see how the war of the Targaryen will be told on screen and are excited for a visually stunning, breathtaking experience! How about you? And are you Team Black or Team Green?
21.03.2024 • IT'S HUNTING SEASON AGAIN!
So did you already set your ghost traps and charge your proton packs? You'll need those when the ghost hunt is on today! Definitely put on a warm jacket, though, because it could get cold ... in »Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire« 🥶😅!

Dear Ghostbusters fans, the next paranormal chapter about the ghost hunters is opening in theaters today with »Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire«, the sequel of »Ghostbusters: Afterlife«! Director Gil Kenan takes us back to Manhattan, where we not only meet the old warhorses Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddemore again, but also the youngsters of the Spengler family - and surely a lot of mean ghosts as well 😱!

So: get your ticket, the special Coke-marshmallow-combo, and have lots of fun watching »Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire«!
21.03.2024 • RUN!
Wow! Did you see that coming?!

20th Century Studios have just dropped a teaser trailer for »Alien: Romulus«, the next Alien film, which is directed by Fede Alvarez and is supposed to hit theaters in August already:
https://youtu.be/GTNMt84KT0k

Not much is being shown yet, but it's still not for the faint of heart 😱! Fede Alvarez has already proven his skills with »Don't Breathe« und »Evil Dead«, so we can really see »Alien: Romulus« turning out great. One of the producers of this film is Ridley Scott, which could be a good omen.

We are super excited, especially because we expected a lot of things this week, but a teaser for a new Alien film was not one of them. Awesome! What do you think?
21.03.2024 • THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS
It's time: »Dream Scenario« is finally coming to theaters in Germany! The movie, which was already shown at several film festivals and has had it's release in several countries months ago, can now be seen in German theaters, as of today.

The plot raises hopes for a very bizarre film: The plain biology professor Paul (Nicolas Cage), who feels lost in his role as a family man an husband, becomes famous over night when he suddenly inexplicably appears in people's dreams. Whereas in the beginning, he enjoys the attention from the media and the people around him, soon he begins to see the dark sides of it. And when he turns more and more violent in the dreams, the public opinion turns against him.

The film was directed by Kristoffer Borgli, who already proved with »Sick of Myself« that he knows how to stage a satirical black comedy. Of course, we are especially excited to see Cage's performance, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for this role, by the way. Are you looking forward to »Dream Scenario«?
20.03.2024 • X-MEN '97
Our Marvel fans of the 90s might have already been looking forward to this: the continuation of »X-Men: The Animated Series«. That sounds very nostalgic! As of today, you can stream the revival with the title »X-Men '97« on Disney+. But the series is also worth watching for the people, who don't know the animated universe of X-Men yet. The trailer shows you the mutants in full action:
https://youtu.be/pv3Ss8o9gGQ

»X-Men '97« starts, where the other series ended. The X-Men lost their leader Charles Xavier. But his dream for mutants and humans to live together in harmony shouldn't die with him. Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and the others will make sure of that - if it weren't for Magneto, who suddenly claims that Xavier bequeathed him everything he had built during his lifetime. However, an even bigger threat appears, which the X-Men have to fight first.

But it's not just the world of the mutants that's tumultuous. Beau DeMayo, the brains behind the show, made headlines recently. Just weeks before the first season's premiere and after he had already finished his writing for season 2, he was fired by Marvel. No official reason was given to the public. We'll have to wait to see the effects of that on the show's future because season 2 is currently in production.

But for now, we are really excited to see how the original series' story will be continued!
20.03.2024 • REMEMBER HER.
After the first foretaste at the end of November we got another visually mighty and impressive appetizer yesterday with the 2nd trailer for »Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga«:
https://youtu.be/FVswuip0-co

The film tells the backstory of the eponymous heroine (Anya Taylor-Joy), that was introduced in the previous, multiple Oscar-winning part of the franchise, »Mad Max: Fury Road«. As a young girl, she's kidnapped by followers of the warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). From now on, she tries everything to break free and return to her mother and the Green Place. However, she also gets between the frontlines of the power struggle between Dementus and Immortan Joe.

The script was penned by George Miller, who was already responsible for the previous four »Mad Max« films and was once again in the director's chair for this. He had already written a first draft before the shooting for »Mad Max: Fury Road« began. We're happy that after nine years we will finally see Furiosa's origin story in cinemas and are excited for what awaits us on the big screen in May.
20.03.2024 • I SEE FIRE!
This somehow sounds like »The Hobbit« but these hot news actually once again come from a galaxy far, far away - this time even more distant in the timeline ...

Yesterday evening, Disney finally dropped the first trailer for »The Acolyte«, the next STAR WARS series:
https://youtu.be/BtytYWhg2mc

"In an age of light, a darkness rises."
This age refers to the Era of the High Republic, a time when the Galactic Republic and especially the Jedi Order were at their peak. So from June 4th we will get to meet a whole cast of new characters (with surely many Jedi among them). Disney+ will give us two episodes for the launch and the other six will follow weekly, as usual.

We are looking forward to the show and are really curious to see if or how showrunner Leslye Headland will manage to capture us Star Wars fans and take us to this new epoch. We all clearly felt the tremendous enthusiasm around this project, especially from the actors, at last year's Star Wars Celebration in London already. All the more distracting were the rumors of last summer that »The Acolyte« might be cancelled and Leslye Headland - due to some dubious statements especially versus George Lucas - was fired. Was there really some truth to it or was this just word of mouth by Garindan and his gossip girls? Whatever - let's look forward to the show and give Leslye Headland a chance. We think that she made a really passionate impression at Celebration Europe.
19.03.2024 • KNELL
In the 1/6 world there are a lot of recurring themes. Many heroes are released again and again by various manufacturers, which is great for newcomers to the hobby who want to get their much-coveted Batman or Joker. Long-time collectors can update, or perhaps they're happy with the items in their collection.

But some manufacturers venture off the beaten track and try something unique and completely new. This is particularly true of the collaboration between Pop Costume and JPT Design, who always create unusual, very high-quality collector's figures for their »Myriads of Faces« series. Their latest release is Knell, a truly eerie fellow who might even give you nightmares.

Knell went on a trip a few weeks ago and first stopped by Dark Schnegge, who reviewed him in a video:
https://youtu.be/GDDnMgtFPBw

Afterwards, he moved in with Mick, who has photographed all the spectacular details for the Action Figure District:

If you enjoy truly unique characters, then Knell will bring you great fun. We still have some pieces in stock:

18.03.2024 • COBWEB
A new horror movie will be knocking at the cinema doors soon. The producers of the horror classic »It« were involved in the production of »Cobweb«. The script made it to Hollywood's list of eagerly awaited, but not yet produced screenplays. Last year, the movie was already released in the USA and some other countries. Starting May 1st, you can finally jump into the mysterious, gloomy life of a seemingly normal family in German theatres as well.

The film is about the blooming fantasy of an 8-year-old boy (Woody Norman), whose nights are plagued by disturbing nightmares. But the knocking behind the wall is more than real. Nevertheless, his parents (Lizzy Caplan & Antony Starr) are not interested in Peter's fears. Only his substitute teacher Miss Devine (Cleopatra Coleman) tries to understand him and really wants to help him. Soon, he'll find out that his family keeps an ominous secret.

Sink into Peter's dark reality with this trailer:

15.03.2024 • STREAMINGSTARTS
Just in time for the weekend, two new shows start streaming today. So if you're still looking for the fitting entertainment, we might be able to help.


Starting today, a crime series awaits you on Apple TV, which is about a very special historical event. »Manhunt« is based on the New York Times bestseller of the same name. It's an award-winning, non-fiction book written by James L. Swanson. The subject is the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, one of the most well-known crimes in the history of the United States of America. In the conspiracy thriller, we accompany Edwin Stanton on his hunt for the assassinator, who changed the history of the USA forever.

Anthony Boyle (»Masters of the Air«) slips into the role of the fugitive murderer John Wilkes Booth, who wants to lend importance to his name with said crime. His opponent is played by Tobias Menzies, a well known face from shows like »Outlander«, »The Crown« or »Game of Thrones«. If you want to jump into the gloomy confusion of the 19th century and have an Apple TV+ subscription, you'll be thrilled watching this series. The trailer already promises an exciting journey through North America's past:
https://youtu.be/VFT-b8eKdSo


On Sky/Wow, the UFA Fiction production »Helgoland 513«, a dystopian TV series from Germany, starts streaming today. After a global apocalypse, a small community of survivors barricade themselves on Germany's only offshore island, Helgoland. A totalitarian society is established, allowing only 513 people on the island, and with resources scarce, an inhumane ranking system rates residents based on their usefulness. At the same time, a dangerous force on the mainland is preparing for an invasion.

The trailer has at least made us curious, and we'll definitely take a peek:
https://youtu.be/SsdF4NY0deM
14.03.2024 • MILLER'S GIRL
At the moment, a movie with the controversial age gap trope is playing in theaters. »Miller's Girl« is a story about the ambitious young writer Cairo Sweet, who's got a talent, that the literature professor Jonathan Miller notices immediately. However, his fascination for her goes far beyond that, but he tries hard to keep her away. After all, Cairo feels the attraction, too, and the outcome of this game between them seems inevitable. A look at the trailer reveals more:
https://youtu.be/vk2OJZHutBM

In the lead role you can see Jenna Ortega, also known as Wednesday from the Neflix series of the same name. Martin Freeman, who's known for the hobbit movies, plays alongside her. Maybe that's why some might find it strange to see them acting together in a drama like this. The reviews so far are quite mixed, because the story is about a controversial subject that the movie supposedly fails to portray with enough depth and nuance. Nevertheless, it could be worth experiencing Freeman and Ortega in such different roles.
13.03.2024 • 10 YEARS WINTER SOLDIER
10 years ago today, »Captain America: The Winter Soldier« celebrated its world premiere in Hollywood.

In 2008, Marvel released the first film in their Cinematic Universe with »Iron Man«, introduced us to »The Incredible Hulk«, followed up with a second »Iron Man«, and then introduced us to »Thor« and »Captain America: The First Avenger«. Phase 1 ended in 2012 with »The Avengers«.

The first films from Phase 2 »Iron Man Three« and »Thor: The Dark World« were a bit weak before the Russo brothers presented us the MCU in top form again in »Captain America: The Winter Soldier« and delivered one of the best films in the Marvel franchise. The great Infinity Saga came to its brilliant end in Phase 3 in 2019 with »Spider-Man: Far From Home«.

Maybe this would have been the best time to at least give the genre a breather but in phase 4 the superheroes started in the series-format on Disney+. Even though there were a few highlights worth seeing, it was now getting a bit confusing and the films from Phase 4 are just a tired reflection of the first few years.

With the exception of »Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3«, Phase 5 with »Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania« and »The Marvels« was more than cringy so far. We long for the time of the Winter Soldier, when Marvel still knew how to deliver top-quality blockbusters. It's high time to stream the film again ...

What do you think about Marvel? Are you still fully invested or did you bail out at some point?
12.03.2024 • S.P.A.C.E POSTCARD COLLECTION MARCH 2024
This Xenomorph is proudly showing its self-portrait to its fellow alien 😉.

This scene was captured by Guido, who once again contributed a great motif to our Postcard Collection in March. The photo of the creature from Ridley Scott's horror classic »Alien« is definitely terrifying 😱.

Real horror fans can secure their own copy by ordering a package from us in March 📦 - so: hit the keys ⌨️!
11.03.2024 • THE OSCARS
Last night the 96th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The evening was once again confidently hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, even if not all of his gags were a hit.

It wasn't a big surprise that »Oppenheimer«, which had received 13 nominations, won the most prizes with 7 Oscars. The film was awarded for "Best Cinematography", "Best Editing", "Best Original Score" and in the supreme discipline "Best Picture". Christopher Nolan finally won his first Oscar for "Best Directing". Cillian Murphy won "Best Actor in a Leading Role" and Robert Downey Jr. won "Best Actor in a Supporting Role".

»Poor Things«, nominated for 11 Oscars, brings home four of the golden boys. It got three awards in a row, for "Best Makeup and Hairstyling", "Best Production Design" and "Best Costume Design". John Cena's presenting is definitely worth mentioning as a small highlight of the evening. Wearing only the Oscar envelope, Cena shows a lot of comedic timing. "Costumes... they are so important..." Take a look at the scene!
https://youtu.be/1Hj7QG7TLuc 

Emma Stone deservedly received the Academy Award for "Best Actress in a Leading Role". She prevailed against, among others, Lily Gladstone (»Killers of the Flower Moon«) and Sandra Hüller (»Anatomy of a Fall«) and held a great acceptance speech (oh, we just love Emma Stone).

To present the nominees in the four acting categories, the organizers resorted to a beautiful, old tradition for the first time in over 15 years. The five nominees were each honored with a short laudatory speech by five previous award winners in the corresponding categories, which created a lot of emotional moments.

»Barbie«, the most successful film of last year, was nominated 8 times. Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell’s »What Was I Made For?« was deservedly awarded "Best Original Song". All nominated songs were performed live and Billie deservedly won her second Oscar. Another performance came from »Barbie« as well. Ryan Gosling sang »I’m Just Ken« and hyped up the room together with Slash on the guitar. We wouldn’t have begrudged this song the prize either.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph was awarded "Best Actress in a Supporting Role" for »The Holdovers« and gave probably the most emotional acceptance speech of the evening.

There were also a few surprises. For "Best Adapted Screenplay", the award went to »American Fiction«, which beat out »Barbie«, »The Zone of Interest«, »Poor Things« and »Oppenheimer«. Winner Cord Jefferson expressed his gratitude and requested studios to consider making 10 films for $20 million or 20 films for $10 million instead of spending $200 million on one film. »Anatomy of a Fall« won the Oscar for "Best Original Screenplay".

»The Zone of Interest« received the award for "Best International Feature Film". Unfortunately, the German contribution »The Teachers' Lounge« went away empty-handed (which you can watch on Amazon Prime Video, by the way). »The Zone of Interest« also received the Oscar for "Best Sound".

What was also surprising to us, but no less pleasing, was the winner in the "Best Visual Effects" category. The Oscar went to »Godzilla Minus One«, which beat out its competitors »Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3«, »Napoleon«, »Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One« and »The Creator«. The winners themselves probably least expected the prize and so the acceptance speech was a bit bumpy. Incidentally, the presenters here were Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, who joked about how both of them had tried to kill Batman and of course addressed Michael Keaton, who was sitting in the front row.

»The Boy and the Heron« won the race for "Best Animated Film". The award for "Best Documentary" went to Ukraine for »20 Days in Mariupol«. The speech by award winner Mstyslav Chernov was probably the most remarkable speech of the evening.

As always, there were films that walked away completely empty-handed. The 10-time nominated »Killers of the Flower Moon« by Martin Scorsese and the 7-time nominated »Maestro« by Bradley Cooper were the big losers of the evening. »Napoleon«, »The Creator«, »Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One«, »Nyad«, »Past Lives« and »Society of the Snow« also didn’t win any awards last night. But as we all know, taking part is the most important thing.

We warmly congratulate all winners! Here you can find all the winners and nominees at a glance:

08.03.2024 • DAWN OF THE DEAD
Time flies, guys, doesn't it?. On Sunday, it will be 20 years that Zack Snyder's »Dawn of the Dead« celebrated its world premiere in Los Angeles. There are many negative examples of bad remakes of classic films, which means that remakes have a rather dubious image, especially in the horror genre. So what about »Dawn of the Dead«?

The original by George A. Romero from 1978 is rightly considered the great classic of the zombie genre alongside his film »Night of the Living Dead«. And Romero is hailed as the inventor of the zombie horror sub-genre. Although there had been films with zombies before, starting with »White Zombie« from 1932 with Bela Lugosi in the lead role, the pre-Romero zombies were always victims of some kind of voodoo magic. The Romero films are remembered not least because he always managed to incorporate socially critical subtext into the movies, from criticism of the Vietnam War in »Night of the Living Dead« to criticism of consumer society in »Dawn of the Dead«. With its success, the film then triggered a whole wave of horror movies. In particular, the Italian productions of the early 80's by Lucio Fulci & Co. were not very squeamish, and so not very compatible with the masses taste but rather good for gore hounds. In relation to the mainstream, the zombie sub-genre ended up in a dirty corner, which of course also affected Romero's social satire.

In the early 2000's, zombies were still considered box office poison and at the same time, Romero's film was something of a sacred cow among die-hard fans. The fact that the former music video director Zack Snyder and his screenwriter James Gunn chose »Dawn of the Dead« for a remake showed that they weren't exactly suffering from a lack of self-confidence. But that could only go wrong ... right?

We think Zack did a good job! The larger budget is good for the film. And if we're honest, with all due respect, the grey-painted, skulking zombies of the original don't seem very threatening from today's perspective and are sometimes unintentionally goofy. Snyder's version therefore is one of the praiseworthy exceptions and represents one of the few truly successful remakes. The term remake isn't entirely correct either, because apart from the shopping mall as a location and the cameos of three actors from the original in other roles (Tom Savini, Scott H. Reiniger and Ken Foree), as well as a few scenic quotes and Easter eggs, there are hardly any similarities between the films. Fun fact: Ken Foree, as a television preacher, recites the famous tagline from the original: “When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth!”

Although Snyder's film lacks Romero's socially critical touch, it is simply exciting and entertaining and hits the accelerator straight away. When designing his undead, Snyder doesn't take Romero's creeping zombies as a model, but rather takes his cue from the infected from »28 Days Later«, Danny Boyle's 2002 plague horror film.

A good two and a half weeks after »Dawn of the Dead«, »Shaun of the Dead« by Edgar Wright celebrated its premiere in London on March 29th 2024. The comedy was seen as a homage to the genre created by Romero. Both films together were something like a rejuvenation treatment for the ailing genre and brought it out of obscurity. And it's no coincidence that George A. Romero was able to direct »Land of the Dead« in 2005 with a budget that was quite generous for his standards. By the way, Romero thanked Edgar Wright and his leading actor Simon Pegg by including them in a cameo as photo booth zombies in his film. Great gesture!

Another five years later, the undead made their way into the flicker box with »The Walking Dead« and had finally arrived in the mainstream.

We are totally in the mood for some zombie flicks now and we of course congratulate especially Zack Snyder for the 20th birthday of his »Dawn of the Dead«!
