Dan Simmons – Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion
As a follow up to my review of “Hyperion”, here is my take on the rest of the series: As the titles suggest, the series is split into two times two books (with more reappearing cast than one thinks possible … Continue reading
Emma – Victorian Romance
I quite liked the first episode of the “Emma” anime (and I have to admit that I did not yet get around to take a look at the manga — although I’ve finished “Shirley” by the same author), all of … Continue reading

Darwinia
Darwinia is the new game from the folks at Introversion (the last of the bedroom programmers as they like to call themselves). They are a small independent game company and the only reason I found out about them, was that … Continue reading

Dead or Alive Ultimate
I’ve been quietly playing “Dead or Alive Ultimate” for the past two weeks. I am new to the DOA-series, the last (and first) 3D-fighter I played was Soul Calibur 2. There are (essentially) only three buttons: kick, punch and “hold … Continue reading

Beyond the Clouds
“Beyond the Clouds” is Shinkai Makoto’s new work, after Voices of a Distant Star. In contrast to “Voices” (which was about 25 min), “Clouds” is a full featured movie running for about 90 minutes. And as expected when one works … Continue reading

Million Dollar Baby
I am a bit at a loss for words. Do not watch this if you think you’re getting a “boxing movie”. It’s not. It’s a drama. A very good one at that. One thing I particularly liked about this film … Continue reading
Saw
Saw is a psycho-thriller in the vein of “Se7en” or “Silence of the Lambs”. It is able to stand on its own, though. A serial killer who calls himself “Jigsaw” puts people in carefully controlled situations in which they (in … Continue reading

iPod Shuffle
I also received my 1gb iPod shuffle today (looking at watch: yesterday, actually). It’s tiny (about the volume of my older 256mb USB flash drive, but a bit longer and flatter), works well with iTunes (although reencoding the high-bitrate songs … Continue reading

Dell 2005FPW
I got my Dell 2005FPW today, a 20″ widescreen flat panel display. This is not a huge step up from my old 18″ Compaq TFT8030 display in height, but it is much wider (having a resolution of 1680×1050). It has … Continue reading
BECK (Mongolian Chop Squad) Manga
After watching and (in spite of the mediocre animation quality) enjoying the Beck anime — it is one of the few I watch as soon as I get them, I tried the manga by Harold Sakuishi. Now I can say … Continue reading

Appleseed Movie (2004)
The worst thing about it is the music. The story is a bit convoluted (as is Masumune Shirow’s original manga), but the artwork in this film is superb. The modelling and the texture work is awesome, in particular with respect … Continue reading

“Decipher” by Stel Pavlou
It’s an old book that I read about a year back, and I was tracking it down again just now (to check whether a German translation is out that I could recommend to a friend) and realised I had never … Continue reading
