I had some jobs subtitling movies – so it has become a habit for me to watch movies with subtitles, even though I understand them.
When translating a script and then put subtitles into a scene, you must understand the movie and the characters in it; how they feel, what they are trying to say and what they are going through. My main concern always is, how I can translate those feelings and struggles of the characters to the audience,…

Bad Trip

2021

★★★½ Added

It may sound cheesy, but I think this was about the friends they made along the way.

I felt bad for the people that didn't know what was going on, but it was heartwarming to see so many examples of human kindness; so many people offered help, even though they were obviously uncomfortable – they took the situation seriously and tried to deescalate it. The jokes may be fake, but the reactions were honest and true; It was nice to…

Savage Streets

1984

★★★ Liked Added

Goddamn, there's a shitload of cursing in this!
Linda Blair kicks some ass and is definitely the wrong one to fuck with.

Leprechaun in the Hood

2000

★★ Added

To be honest; the Leprechaun makes quite a good pimp.

Zack Snyder's Justice League

2021

★★ Added

I prefer the Sion Sono Cut that replaces the whole movie with "Love Exposure".

Coming 2 America

Well, this was shamingly bad ... but damn, the costumes were marvellous!

Love Exposure

2008

★★★★½ Liked Added

Suck on this, Scorsese-Fanboys who try to sell me a four hour long movie. THIS is how you do it! This had me by the balls. This was intense; I laughed, I cried, I cheered, I was shocked, … it made me feel something. An absolute masterpiece.

Encounters at the End of the World

2007

★★★½ Liked Added

My favorite part of this documentary is the heartbreaking segment with the “deranged” pinguin walking into the interior of the vast continent with nothing but certain death in front of him and Werner Herzog is asking “But why?” while Russian orthodox choir music is playing in the background.

The Predator

2018

★★½ Added

I've been warned about this one, so I didn't expect much - but honestly, I had quite a laugh.
If you were looking forward to this movie, I can understand your frustration. Also, lowering your expetations isn't a good sign for a movie ...
Still I had a good time with this senseless action-adventure and its weird mix of humor and violence.

Leprechaun 4: In Space

1996

★★ Added

+1 ★ for the idea.
-1 ★ for making this into a movie.

then again +2 ★s for the balls they had to make this movie.

Predator

1987

★★★★½ Liked Added

I think I might have fallen in love with this movie: not a single day goes by without me thinking about it.

Predator is a movie that I can watch over and over again - and it never get's boring! The story is simple and once they get into the jungle, it's straight forward.

There is only one little flaw, that can easily be fixed; skip the first scene with the alien pod. If you show it to someone, who…
