Oppenheimer
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
Rating: 5
Is «Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One» a perfect movie? What can I say? I think it is!
Even with a runtime of over two and a half hours and a dreaded «Part One» in the title the movie delivers throughout. The interesting question would be: Why do we still have to rely on «poor» old Tom Cruise do deliver some solid, no-BS entertainment? I’m not feeling like trying to answer that question here but again, after the sequel to Top Gun last year he (almost) singlehandedly brings back everything a movie fan trained in the eighties and nineties loves about films.
Without the need for any kind of nostalgic fan service the movie stands out with perfect pacing, solid storytelling, a bombastic classical score and – most importantly – breathtaking action even with some car chasing scenes on top – something I’ve learned to hate over the years (I’m looking at you, Indy 5).
Good job! Great job! And – surprisingly – containing the funniest scene I’ve watched in years in an action film, nay, in a movie, full stop.
Go see it – no questions asked – even you, Corinne, no matter what you think about Tom Cruise. You thank me later.

Die Kackwurstfabrik
Rating: 5
Durch die provokative Titelgebung setzen Marja Baseler und Annemarie van den Brink die Messlatte enorm hoch an. Auch die ebenso minimalistisch anmutenden wie detailverliebten Illustrationen von Tjarko van der Pol scheren sich kaum um Erwartungshaltungsmanagement – oder aber zeugen von einem gesunden Selbstverständnis gegenüber der eigenen Qualität.
Glücklicherweise zeigt sich schon auf den ersten paar Seiten, dass dieses Buch sämtliche Versprechen hält und weitaus mehr zu bieten hat als Schock-Value. Manchmal trivial, manchmal lehrreich – «Die Kackwurstfabrik» versteht es, zu unterhalten.
Niemals aber verschliessen sich die Autorinnen vor den unangenehmen Fragen und überraschen mit oft unerwarteten, manchmal ungemütlichen Antworten im Anhang.
Unser Essen hat verschiedene Farben. Warum ist Kacke trotzdem immer braun?
«Die Kackwurstfabrik» mag auf den Schultern von Klassikern des Genres wie «Vom kleinen Maulwurf, der wissen wollte, wer ihm auf den Kopf gemacht hat» (Holzwarth & Erlbruch, 1989) oder «Der Gasthof zum Harten Stuhl» (Bénédict, 2016) stehen, braucht aber den Vergleich nicht zu scheuen und beweist sich als eigenständiges, wichtiges Werk zeitgenössischer Buchkunst.
