The Pink Panther (2006)
thanx for trying a return
I saw that film and it was a funny laugh-making film. excellent actors - a brilliant Kevin Kline as Dreyfuss the best Steve Martin i've ever seen. Even Beyoncé does a good job...
But what does it make that this film doesn't convince me?
It is that the original one was a milestone in film history - the main difference:
Peter Sellers is Clouseau - Steve Martin plays Clouseau.
Plot lines from the original film were destroyed - where was Cato? What about the karate - knowledge of Clouseau? Why does this film needs a support agent called No.006? what about 'Balls' (real fans know what I mean...)?etc.etc...
In this film Dreyfuss is right calling Clouseau a nerd. Here he shows no talent to solve the case - this is what is wrong. In the original film the viewers always knew that Peter Sellers would solve the case - not by fortuity but by hard work - not in this film.
It always seems to me that the plot is just a filler to connect the gags. the plot is very thin. O.K. I am a fan of the original films (even the one with Roberto Begnini..) so I hoped that this film could start a new series - but i have been disappointed and I hope this will never happen (as long as the plot is as thin as this).
It is enough for a funny evening - but not for more.
Alfredissimo! - Kochen mit Bio (1994)
A incredibe show about cooking...
How to describe this magnificient concept a well-known and, in Germany, very famous host cooks with more or less prominent persons.
The center of this show aren't the reciepts, althougt they are mostly extremely creative and how Biolek would call it "hmmm lekkerr", but the amount of drinking lots of different and sometimes extremely expensive sorts of wine, especially a german "riesling" whis is "much better you would expect".
The coolness is that because of the alcohol which is drunk the comments either of Biolek or the Guest gets better and better and it sometimes even ends like the best episode ever made: the one with Helmut Berger, a famous artist, which ends in a kind of experimental cooking with a lot of philosophy, the episode which got even printed in a book of a famous german-speaking writer named Stuckrad-Barre "Deutsches Theater". In reading this episode you will understand everything about this show
