A Dry White Season (1989). A white middle class South African suburbanite with no interest in politics agrees to help his black gardener find his jailed son. His investigation opens his eyes to the horrors committed by the secret police and turns him into a target.

It's so strange, having watched this for the first time only days before Donald Sutherland passed away. That's probably colouring my review now a bit, but honestly, he was just staggering as an actor. A generational talent on full display in this complex, brutal film about the South African Apartheid. He's bolstered by a tremendous supporting cast, a harrowing direction and a very good script, making this movie feel like one of the best in a genre that can often feel exploitative. Just a really, really good film anchored by the always brilliant Donald Sutherland, may he rest in peace. 8/10.

I think as a fan of romance and also a real life human sometimes you need to understand that the girl isn't going to go for the better guy she's going to go for the guy she wants and sometimes the guy she wants is her sewer rat of a bf she's been in love with since 14 and you have to figure out a way to live with that

Farewell - diese Musiker mussten 2023 gehen

Leider war auch das letzte Jahr nicht zu allen Musikern gut gewesen. Einige richtig einflussreiche Menschen mussten die Bühne wechseln, wie immer eigentlich zu früh. Den Musiker hören ja nie wirklich auf Musik zu machen. Was bleibt ist in allen Fällen ein Vermächtnis. Ein Werk für die Nachwelt. Deshalb möchte ich natürlich all den Musikern gedenken, die im 2020 in den Tourbus gestiegen sind und ihre letzte Tour angetreten haben. - Sebastian Marino (Overkill, Anvil, Ramrod) 07.11.1965 - 01.01.2023 (Herzinfarkt) - Fred White (Earth Wind & Fire) 13.01.1955 - 01.01.2023 - Manni Jordan (Heaven's Gare, Steeltower, Carrion) 27.01.1960 - 02.01.2023 - Jeff Beck 24.06.1944 - 10.01.2023 (Hirnhautentzündung) - Doug Grandon (Psychosis, Mass Psychosis, M.O.D.) 10.01.2023 (Parkinson) - Lisa Marie Presley 01.02.1968 - 12.01.2023 (Herzversagen) - Van Connor (Screaming Trees) 17.03.1967 - 17.01.2023 (Lungenentzündung) - David Crosby (Byrds, Crosby Stills and Nash) 14.08.1941 - 19.01.2023 - Top Topham (The Yardbirds) 03.07.1947 - 23.01.2023 - Michael Kupper aka Maik Moti (Running Wild) 29.08.1957 - 16.02.2023 - Steve Mackey (Pulp) 10.11.1966 - 02.03.2023 - Gary Rossington (Lynyrd Skynyrd) 04.12.1951 - 05.03.2023 - Wayne Swinny (Saliva) 22.03.2023 (Hirnblutung) - Nora Forster (Sex Pistols) 06.11.1942 - 06.04.2023 - Lasse Wellander (ABBA) 18.06.1952 - 07.04.2023 - Guy Bailey (The Quireboys) 07.04.2023 - Ian Bairnson (Alan Parsons Project) 03.08.1953 - 07.04.2023 (Demenz) - Mark Sheehan (The Script) 29.10.1976 - 14.04.2023 - Tim Bachmann (BTO) 01.08.1951 - 28.04.2023 (Krebs) - Gordon Lightfoot 17.11.1938 -01.05.2023 - Andy Rourke (The Smiths) 17.01.1964 - 19.05.2023 (Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs) - Chas Newby (The Beatles) 18.06.1941 - 22.05.2023 - Kirk Arrington (Metal Church / Vanderhoof) 23.01.1962 - 22.05.2023 - Sheldon Reynolds (Earth Wind & Fire, The Commodores) 13.09.1959 - 23.05.2023 - Tina Turner 26.11.1939 - 24.05.2023 - Lee Rauch (Megadeth) 10.09.1964 - 23.06.2023 - George Tickner (Journey) 08.09.1946 - 05.07.2023 - Jane Birkin 14.12.1946 - 16.07.2023 - Tony Bennett 03.08.1926 - 21.07.2023 - Sinéad O'Connor 08.12.1966 - 26.07.2023 - Randy Meisner (Eagles) 08.03.1946 - 26.07.2023 (COPD) - John Gosling (The Kinks) 06.02.1948 - 04.08-2023 - Robbie Robertson (The Band) 05.07.1943 - 09.08.2023 (Prostata Krebs) - Peter Haag "West" (Hämatom) 15.08.2023 - Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake) 07.05.1951 - 24.08.2023 (Meningitis) - Jack Sonni (Dire Straits) 09.12.1954 - 30.08.2023 - Jimmy Buffett 25.12.1946 - 01.09.2023 (Hautkrebs) - Steve Harwell (Smash Mouth) 09.01.1967 - 04.09.2023 (Leberversagen) - Matt Vinci (Liege Lord) 01.03.1965 - 09.09.2023 (Krebs) - Roger Whittaker 22.03.1936 - 13.09.2023 - Jon Kennedy (Cradle Of Filth, Hecate Enthroned, Imperial Genocide) 25.08.1977 - 25.09.2023 (Autounfall) - Jeff L'Heureux (Culprit) 17.11.1959 - 10.10.2023 (Motorradunfall) - Rudolph Isley (The Isley Brothers) 01.04.1939 - 11.10.2023 (Herzversagen) - Steve Riley (Keel, W.A.S.P.) 22.01.1956 - 24.10.2023 (Lungenentzündung) - Heath (X Japan) 29.01.1968 - 29.10.2023 (Krebs) - Vittorio "Vic" Vergeat (Toad) 15.05.1951 - 01.11.2023 - Pete Garner (The Stone Roses) 03.11.2023 (Krebs) - Charlie Dominici (Dream Theater) 16.06.1951 - 17.11.2023 - Mars Williams (The Waitresses, The Psychedelic Furs) 29.05.1955 - 20.11.2023 (Krebs) - Kevin "Geordie" Walker (Killing Joke) 18.12.1958 - 26.11.2023 (Schlaganfall) - Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) 25.12.1957 - 30.11.2023 (Lungenentzündung) - Danny Laine (Wings, Moody Blues) 29.10.1944 - 05.12.2023 (Lungenerkrankung) - Ken Erb (Shok Paris) 14.12.2023 - Manny Martinez (Misfits) 16.12.2023 - Colin Burgess (AC/DC) 16.11.1946 - 16.12.2023 Leider wird auch diese Liste vermutlich nicht vollständig sein.

Sweeney! (1977)

"I'd like to make a statement, sir. I have reason to believe that there is a high-level conspiracy which is responsible for several so far unexplained deaths, and of which I myself have been a victim."

"Is that it?"
