The Guilt Trip (2012) 

English A relaxing bite-size snack about how important it is to have a mom. Seth Rogen is freewheeling here, from time to time coming out with a killing joke or an outlandish idea. Him and Barbra Streisand hit it off great together. If I have a daughter, I'm gonna name her Mr. Pickles as well.

Mr. Robot - 403 Forbidden (2019) (episode) 

English The conclusion of the Chinese LGBT romantic storyline is one of the most powerful experiences from a series this year, which is saying something. Mr. Robot reveals his friendly side and what he says begins to indicate how things could end, if anything like a happy ending is still possible at all. The ending with Tyler stretches tense anticipation to the maximum.

Watchmen - It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice (2019) (episode) 

English I’m bothered by the stylization and the costumes. The principle of the weapon holders should be explained and several other things also seem fairly illogical even in the parallel reality. Thematically, it looks interesting, with the racial problems at level 2.0. It just lacks a fundamental link to the history of the Watchmen; it's simply not enough to just mention a trans-dimensional monster a couple of times and give a fleeting glimpse of Manhattan. I’m curious to see how it develops.

Primer (2004) 

English A decent low-budget time-travel flick. Carruth offers an irresistible thought – what if we manage to put together a time machine in the garage – in para-documentary style. Technical explanatory passages, debates about the budget, the first experiment, trying to get rich. Everything seems realistic and focuses on the details. No trick shots; just old-school filmmaking. The ending is very meticulous and even concise, making it even more disturbing.

Gemini Man (2019) 

English In terms of visuals, this is a terrific film and the young version of Will Smith is convincing. The action is sweet and takes place in great locations (I keep coming across Konstanz this year). Ang Lee is brilliant. Unfortunately, the story is a classic from the nineties, celebrating its thirtieth anniversary next year. And all it needs is for Henry not to be a nice hit man. Owen is underused and the Smiths play standard roles, but Mary Elizabeth is unbelievably great. She doesn't need anyone, nothing surprises her much and she has clear professional ambitions. Gemini Man is not revolutionary; it's just a good action film.

Peaky Blinders - Season 5 (2019) (season) 

English Steven Knight outdoes himself with every new season. This time Peaky Blinders flirts with National Socialism. The political tenor of the series thickens the atmosphere and adds further unpredictable elements such as the “strong younger generation" = drugged-up inventor Michael and drugged-up jerk Finn. Excellent acting performances and at the end we see one cameo that I hadn’t even dreamed of. The pinnacle of British drama series production. "She said that Gypsies made the nails used on the cross that Jesus was crucified on. That’s why we’re a cursed nation and we don’t stay put in any one place for long. We must keep moving, to stay ahead of our guilt."

Peaky Blinders - The Shock (2019) (episode) 

English The introductory fascist speech gets your blood boiling, but it really starts to get going after the evidence explodes. Smuggled sacks of flour, the visit to the looney bind and the fantastic scene with dad. And the reference to Mr. Solomons? Is there a flashback in store for us? Peaky Blinders on best form.

Ted 2 (2015) 

English Certainly weaker than part one, but MacFarlane brings us lots of ingenious gags again. In terms of story, this has turned into a morality piece about humanity with a classic romantic plot line and tons of toilet humor. It lacks a moment of surprise.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) 

English A farewell to Breaking Bad and the legendary Robert Foster, who since yesterday is no longer with us. El Camino is like the last knot to untie. Its association with the series slightly obscures its message, because it completes Jessie’s journey and not Walt’s. The lesson “you can never escape from your destiny" now sounds different, a little more optimistic. Flashbacks to the series, either explanatory or reminding us of some key figures, are great, but the present storyline, full of PTSD has something to offer. I liked the almost western-style climax. I was pleased to return once more to Albuquerque.

Mr. Robot - 401 Unauthorized (2019) (episode) 

English Several heart-stopping moments, camera tricks and a story that has the viewers hanging like puppets on a string, and the puppet master keeps on jerking them. The last season begins with the bar set high. Goodbye, friend.
