Death Proof

Saw Tarantino's Death Proof. A hilarious movie. The first part was not that exciting, but the second half made up for it. The dialogues were well crafted, the delivery strong and powerful. There's not much to talk about the story, a very ordinary psycho thriller. But the direction was very good and artistic, as you would expect from Tarantino.


Note to myself: watched the movie with Hal at Haydnkino. The two hours went by fast. Before the movie was at Naschmarkt for dinner at a Vietnamese place, was surprisingly nice. Earlier that afternoon was at Flukturm for a couple of hours of relaxed bouldering -- was a bit windy, and chilly.

Kiss me Kate


An unforgettable evening -- watched one of the classic recording at Rathausplatz. A beautiful performance by Rachael York. The songs were amazing, and hard to forget. Overall the performance was very clean, powerful, and crisp. The stage backdrop was basic, creating least bit of distraction.

We (Gudrun and myself, the rain spoiled Hal's plans of showing up) arrived some 20mins into the show, but found it easy to find a place to sit down. It rained on and off for the next two hours, but the performance was solid enough that we sat through the entire performance.
