  • Gone in Sixty Seconds

    Gone in Sixty Seconds 2000

    ★★ Watched 12 Aug 2024

    Watched on Disney +

    The secret remake. As the producer of films such as "The Rock", "Con Air" and "Armageddon", riot brother Jerry Bruckheimer is known for the expensive, slickly-polished, raucous cinema of the 90s like no other - not even his frequent companion Michael Bay can keep up. "Gone in Sixty Seconds" was his first production in the new millennium and even a remake for the first time, except that hardly anyone (especially from the target audience) knows the…

  • Under Siege 2: Dark Territory

    Under Siege 2: Dark Territory 1995

    ★★★ Watched 03 Nov 2023

    Watched on Blu-Ray

    After the first part of "Under Siege" became a reasonably big hit, it came as no great surprise when a sequel about Steven Seagal's powerful chef Casey Ryback followed in 1995. Directed by veteran Geoff Murphy, the film offers more of the same content - just in one go. Everything is a little bigger, sillier and more violent, without offering much added value. From a pure entertainment value point of view, however, "Under Siege 2" delivers without…

  • Independence Day

    Independence Day 1996

    ★★★½ Rewatched 11 Sep 2022

    Watched on Blu-Ray (Extended Cut)

    German director Roland Emmerich had already proven in 1994 with "Stargate" that he has a happy hand for sci-fi movies. Despite some flaws, he laid the foundation for an entire saga that was continued in several TV series. In his next film 2 years later, "Independence Day", he stayed true to the genre and once again delivered a megahit that went down in history as one of the biggest material battles of the 90s.

  • Con Air

    Con Air 1997

    ★★★½ Rewatched 28 Jul 2021

    Watched on Blu-Ray

    In the mid- to late 1990s, a series of action films hit the cinemas that defined typical 90s action cinema. Blockbusters like "Bad Boys", "The Rock" and "Face/Off" thrilled action fans worldwide. Even the end of the world was threatened in the late nineties sci-fi blockbuster "Armageddon". "Con Air" by the directorial debutant Simon West ran in the same waters as the above-mentioned films. If it says blockbuster on it, it's blockbuster on it. That's what the…

  • Fast & Furious

    Fast & Furious 2009

    ★★½ Watched 26 Feb 2020 1

    Watched on Blu-Ray

    After "2 Fast 2 Furious" and "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" had ensured that the high-speed franchise was driven into a dead end by oily screwdriver fantasies and breakneck road races, first artistically and then commercially, with the accelerator pedal depressed, clear overhaul work had to be carried out on the Fast & Furious brand, which originally had a broad impact. To get back on the road to success, there was only one possibility: The two…

  • Eagle Eye

    Eagle Eye 2008

    ★★½ Rewatched 11 Jul 2019

    Watched on Netflix

    "Eagle Eye" belongs in the category "senseless, but entertaining".

    The omniscient central computer of the USA, which controls all activities, recognizes that people act arbitrarily and incapably. Now it thinks it has to take control.

    The concept is really not new (WarGames 1983, Terminator 1984) and is not used to create an innovative story. It serves only to stage respectable pursuit action, whereby the computer recruits clueless citizens and makes them submissive by blackmailing them. Via mobile…
