MOVIE REVIEW: Age of Heroes

This one has been sitting in my download folder for ages. I didn’t find the motivation to watch it, due to the unfavourable rating on IMDB (which is a 5.5). Yesterday, my curiosity won from my scepticism, and I decided to load it into VLC player. I was pleasantly surprised. Although it clearly had to do with a small budget, this UK film isn’t that bad. It’s not your run-of-the-mill action-packed war hero movie, but a clever story fueled drama set in the later days of World War II.

Movie Review: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

After Batman Begins, superhero movies were booming again. Because Marvell couldn’t stay behind to DC-comics, a barrage of semi-known Marvell heroes was fired at the audience. Ghost Rider was one of those. But it was horrible. It failed to do anything, from capturing the essence of the comic to capturing the attention of the audience. Now, Ghost Rider returns for another shot at movie fame, with Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Was it any better? Hell no.

The first BBQ of the Year. 0

The first BBQ of the Year.

A few day’s ago, we had the first ‘teckelBBQ’ of the year. Although it cost me something in the vicinity of 80 €, it was worth it. The weather made it possible to sit outside and eat. We had burgers, sausages and shashliks. The picture above is my perspective to the barbecue, as I lend my skills as a meatflipper to make the raw animal waste into something you can eat without getting food poisoning. After that was done, we built a nice little fire with stuff we didn’t need....

Wednesday’s Weekly [9] (Week 13, 2012)

Well hello there. Remember me? I’m the one who usually writes this blog, but doesn’t do it very regularly, so you might’ve forgotten about me. Well, I haven’t forgotten about you, not in the slightest. I just had to lock myself up, away from my computer in order to study for my exam yesterday. But now, I have all the time in the world to write again, and that’s just the thing I’ll be doing. So hold on tight, because there’s another wednesday’s weekly coming up! Last wednesday, I was...

The Fourth Power: Media’s Role in Politics

Let’s go for something different now, a change of pace. Something serious. Being a Political Science major, I (have to) read a lot of political themed literature. Not all of them are easy to read through, especially the older works from the likes of Hobbes and Locke are quite hard to read if you are not a native english speaker. I imagine that even people who do have english as their first language, find it hard to understand what is written down by these enlightened philosophers. But what I do understand,...

Welcome, 5000th visitor.

Yesterday, at about 23:00h, saw the 5000th visit to my webpage. I don’t know who you are, and you probably don’t know you where the 5000th, but I both want to congratulate you and thank you. You know, for visiting my site. I shall post some statistics on my view count. You know, because statistics rule. That, and I have to be able to do this for my exam next tuesday, so this’ll be a fun way not to study.

Wednesday’s Weekly [8] (Week 12, 2012)

Time is still flying as it is wednesday already. Can you imagine that? The week litteraly seemed to fly by, as did the weeks before that. What might be helping, is the awesome weather we’re having over here. Yeah, it’s awesome. Today’s temperature is 15 degrees Celsius, tomorrow’s will be 18. 18! Funny as it is, if it were autumn, we would be dissappointed by these temperatures. But not now, not in springtime! I’m going to spend tomorrow bathing in sunlight, basking in the glory of this beautiful early spring. Oh...

Android: Five free Apps I need

My cellphone is getting really old. The HTC HD2 I have came stock with Windows Mobile 6.5. It seemed a safe choice back then, Android was still up and coming and I didn’t know a lot about it. Windows Mobile 6.5 was getting old, but at least it didn’t have any bugs anymore, so I reasoned. I decided to get it, especially because Windows Phone 7 had been announced, and there were rumors about an update coming for the HTC. Boy, was I wrong. It broke down twice. Luckily, I...

Music to relax to

I’m sitting here, behind my desk, trying to write an essay and a presentation. I’ve been sitting here all day long. I’m currently getting one of my infamous headaches. I’m not going to bitch about it, popped some aspirin, and I’m currently waiting for them to kick in. Meanwhile, I’m quietly listening to some relaxing tracks to pass the time. Then I thought, why not share these songs? I’m going to post three songs after the jump, which are really worth listening to. So be sure to ‘continue reading’. As...

Wednesday’s Weekly [7] (Week 11, 2012)

Is it wednesday already? Geez. And only one post this last week? Come on, Felix, keep it together. Now to leave the internal monologue in my head, I’ll discuss what’s up in the following entry. But first, look at the new features on the blog! Aren’t they pretty? It took a lot of finetuning to get it right, but I think that effort has paid off. A new header, and a menu on top of it, with a fancy drop-down thingy. I mean, wow. Ain’t that some shit. It almost...
