A black screen, the sound of swords and we cut to a frightened Samwell Tarly running through a snowstorm. A mutilated body and an attack later we are faced with the grim remains of the Nightswatch being the only hope to warn the people of Westeros.
Because Winter has finally come…
Tonight’s the night! And it will be a wild and unpredictable night!
Tonight the Oscar goes to….?
As with last year I have sat down with ExistentialCoffee to pin down our votes for the evening. If we agreed on one tip it will be listed as our prediction Will Win whereas different colors for Flipthetruck and ExistentialCoffee will. Should have been there and Should Win categories are added for fun whereas Could Win categories mark the one’s which might take home the gold.
Please note that I am notoriously bad at predictions and while this article might sound very confident (and probably full of itself/pretentious) I am taking a stab in the dark many times (director, supporting actor, original screenplay mainly) – the percentage at the side is just how sure we feel about this guess so don’t take them as laws of nature. This year has been a crazy race especially due to the omission of Ben Affleck and it will be a fun evening, I am sure.
If you are interested in continuous self-indulgent whining by flipthetruck you can follow my reactions on twitter.
So, it is only a few hours before the show begins and I am ready!
This review will be about two movies from 2011: Fast Five and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (MI4). I managed to catch Fast Five in theaters yet I missed out on MI4 until I got my hands on the Blu Ray.
This is the fourth article in the coverage of the movies related to 2012’s The Avengers. To get to the overview click here.
Wow it’s good to be back!
This article has been delayed a little bit because the subject of Iron Man 2 begs for a very intense dissection so I am sorry for the delay and if you are scared of wall of texts (note: I will add some pictures later on to make the boring parts look awesom) I beg you not to click on:
This is the first article in the coverage of the movies related to 2012’s The Avengers. The movie hits the screen this week in Austria, Germany and pretty much the rest of Europe. So this week there will be a coverage of the movies leading up to this event, culminating in an Avengers review this Sunday.

Before we get into the story of the separate movies this coverage will start with the marketing of the movie because the selling of this storyline was a task not easily achieved.
Four years of advertisement culminating in this movie.
On April 26th the Avengers will have finally assembled after 5 movies who set up this event. To say that the anticipation for this movie is high would be an understatement. Next to The Hobbit and The Dark Knight Rises Avengers is poised to be one of the highest grossing movies of 2012.
So the Oscars are over in a pretty unremarkable ceremony and I just want to get some short impressions off my chest (head over for the full list of winners)
Hugo is a fairy tale about two children finding their place in the world directed by a man who is known for: killing his characters, butchers, mental institutions, guys urinating in glasses, mafia bombing, stalkers, boxers, mentally deranged taxi drivers…
