Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (UK 2006)

Synopsis (possible Spoiler): The life and times of Albert Pierrepoint – Britain’s most prolific hangman

Interesting movie about a subject you usually don’t hear much about these days. Strong performance by Timothy Spall . The movie is on the slow side, but I did enjoy a great deal out of it. The relationship Pierrepoint had with his victims is gripping.

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (USA 2007)

Synopsis (possible Spoiler): Diehard video game fans compete to break World Records on classic arcade games.

Even though I was never a Donkey Kong fan, nor a very good player (I loved my Phoenix, thank you very much), this documentary was great. It transported me back into the days when playing video games meant to leave the house. And, how it was all about the technique, timing and reflexes. Even if you are not a old-school video gamer, this will still appeal to ‘normal’ people as well.

Good to know there is need for a “Luxurious Fair”

Cellphones made out of gold, Shotguns with Diamond inlays, a Perfume for $400,000. In case you have some spare change laying around – I’m sure they have some splendid suggestions for you. (Who said there was a recession?). I have to say though, the website looks rather, well, crappy.

Apparently the most expensive book in the world. Worth ~$245,000,000 and so far only 13 pages are written!

1720 Diamonds on a cellphone – price: $282,000

I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal (USA 2007)

Synopsis (possible Spoiler): A documentary on the Austrian-Jewish architectural engineer who became a Nazi hunter after surviving the Holocaust.

Despite the dire subject matter – one of the most inspiring documentaries I’ve seen. What an amazing man. I’m not sure what happened, but it was a very small release (9 theaters). As so often, great reviews, made not a lot of money $204,167 since it release.

Funny Pikachu!

Gas expensive in the US? Pah – try $8.92 per gallon!

That’s what Germans pay per litre (1.50 Euro per litre). What is the pain-limit for Americans until they decide to actually do something about the lack of public transport?
