Feuer, Eis & Dosenbier (2002)
No better Trash-FLick has ever come from Germany
It Starts off as a half-hearted buddy comedy but turns into trash extravganza as soon as the two protagonists arrive in Ischgl (what an impact this name must have on a German, especially when spelled out by a local, i can only imagine). Not even the four parts of the hilarious "Piefke-Saga" draws such a ridiculous picture of Austria and ski tourism. The heart of the comedy is ex-softpornstar, entertainer for senior citiziens, local green politician and whatsoever Herbert Fuchs as Öhi, not even able to pull of a proper accent with lines like "now a blowjob and I'm in heaven" or "the self-made bombs always tasted much better". You won't find any joke in this movie that is intelligent, but if you like political incorrectness, stupidity and just a plain freakshow in a movie, check this out, just to see the end of the villain, which is campy humor at its best
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
I think you ought to know that I'm feeling very depressed...
After years of waiting, the Hitchhiker's Guide has finally made it to the big Screen, but the outcome is far from living up to my expectations...
Well, I really loved the design of the picture, the Apple-style Heart-of Gold interior, Vogsphere, which looks like the nightmare sequences of Gilliam's Brazil, Margrathea, with its amazing cgi-factory-floor and the cheesy waiting lounge. Also, the animated guide entries are really funny (but sadly enough, they were about the only thing that really made me laugh) and most of the main characters were well cast.
Now for the bad parts: In an interview producer Nick goldsmith said, when asked about the comedy in the film " With the material, I don't think we're going to have a problem with that one.", but apparently, they did: some of the funny lines are mumbled, so that they are disfigured beyond being understandable, other -new- lines just aren't funny, there's a lot of unnecessary bad physical comedy, and very often really funny lines from the books or the radioseries are just left out. What the film also lacks is storytelling: While hammer and tongs have proved that they can make really fine shorts, their first feature length film just lacks of charm and a good plot, that keeps the story together, neither the quest for the ultimate question nor the lovestory is strong enough to make a consistent story out of the chain of events, that we're facing here...
One thing in particular that annoyed me was the camera and the editing: I'm not really an expert in those things, but it really annoyed me that there was hardly ever a shot that lasted more than two seconds, so I never could really enjoy the stupendous sets built for this movie.
All in all the movie left the impression on me that there was a lot of ambition and fun involved in making this movie, but it failed, because they tried to make the film rather "cool" than grotesque British comedy, so all I got from the picture was a big eye-candy almost but not quite unlike a bock that I really enjoyed reading a million times.
