December 24th – Desmond calls Penny

It started with a planecrash on a deserted island and what followed was a television phenomenon that would span 5 seasons of intricate puzzles – and a final season which pretended that it has never been about the riddles after all.

But no matter how disappointing the “have-the-cake-and-eat-it”- finale has been before this Lost was undeniably a fantastic show and the disappointment over the ending just shows the craftsmanship behind the storytelling.

December 23rd – The Penguin

Ricky Gervais is a man of many talents. A great comedian, a big thinker, a charismatic actor and also a fantastic mind behind TV-programs (The Office). In the 12-part TV-series Extras he once again defied expectations when he started with a simple premise: it is about a man who is an extra on movie sets and each episode features a different movie star – but by the end of the series Extras would have turned 180°.

Writing a blog in English has one regrettable downside – recommending movies in your mother language is difficult in English – especially Austrian movies which are already incomprehensible for people from Germany left alone any other country.

I didn’t manage to catch Contagion in cinemas this year but had the joy of watching the movie on my flight to Hong Kong and surprisingly this movie about a lethal virus also has its Christmas moment.

Family reunions can be a pain, crowded, tension everywhere and not really much of the Christmas joy to be found anywhere near aunt Mildred – but that is nothing compared to what the Joker has in store for Batman on Christmas Eve.

December 12th – The Wrong Present

For the full Movie Advent Calendar click here.

Love Actually is the movie that will always wind up somehow in a Christmas list I put together. Directed by Richard Curtis (the director of the equally fabulous The Boat that Rocked) this movie features a huge ensemble of many of the best British actors alive. Each story is set during the time before Christmas and those short stories interconnect from time to time – but mostly they stand as short movies about a certain type of love, some rewarding, some unrewarding, some unexpected.

The fire Rises – Batman marketing

Even though we have had a lot of photos and exposure of The Dark Knight Rises most of it were set videos and nothing official from Warner Brothers. This has now changed as the marketing for TDKR has kicked in full gear.
