“Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins“, the 4th movie of the Terminator series has now come out and can be watched in movie theatres throughout Germany. I was able to watch this movie yesterday and I think it was fantastic. But first I will provide a short summary of the plot.

The story is set in the year 2018. Humanity is at war with machines and is on the brink of losing. John Connor (Christian Bale) leads an attack by the Resistance (the Human resistance organisation) on a Skynet base. John discovers human prisoners and the plans for the development of a new type of Terminator incorporating living tissue. During the attack, the base explodes and John is the only apparent surviver. However a second man emerges from the wreckage. It is the man that was introduced in the beginning of the movie. His name is Marcus (Sam Worthington) and in 2003 he signed his body over for medical research following his execution.[.....]

While John returns to the Resistence’s headquarters, Marcus makes his way to L.A.. As John arrives at the submarine headquarters, he is informed about a new weapon against the machines, which is supposed to kill all machines. The Resistance is planning an attack on the Skynet’s headquarters in 4 days time.

After that a very exciting and breathtaking story developes…..

After I saw the movie I was amazed by all the special effects. They were amazing. But also the story was very well thought out and thus I can only recommend this movie. Christian Bale does an awesome perfomance as John Connor.

Get out and watch Terminator 4.

And let me tell you one thing, the war against the machines is not over

Here is the official trailer of Terminator 4:

(The One-Day-World-Championship)

World championship-feeling in the Olympiastadium. For just 9 Euros. Awesome experience, highly recommandable.

Those were my impressions of this years Istaf 2009. I dont know if all of you know the Istaf so I will give you a short introduction to this track-and-field meeting.

The Istaf (Internationales Station Fest) is one of the 6 Golden League meetings, the most renowned track-and-field meeting series after the Olympic Games and the World Championships. The Istaf in Berlin plus 5 other track-and-field sights throughout Europe are part of this series.[.....]

The objective of this series is, that if one athlete is to win all 6 of the Golden League meetings in his or her discipline he or she will be awarded 500.000 € in gold bars. Thus this series  and its meeting’s disciplines are full of stars. This year stars such as Yelena Isinbayeva, Kenenisa Bekele, Blanka Vlasic and more found there way to Berlin to compete in their disciplines.

It was my first time at the Istaf and I liked it alot. I saw many top-athletes and had a great time during those 4 hours.

I can only recommend it and I will definately go to the Istaf 2010.

These are the characteristics that best describe the nature of a Boxer:

• dependable
• sensitive
• powerful
• athletic

Most people that do not know Boxer  think that Boxer are ugly because of their “weird-looking”  face. As a matter of fact, Boxer actually have the most expressive face in the dog world, thus one can read all of their emotions.

In adition to that Boxer are very athletic, so one can have lots of fun with them and do all diferent kinds of activities with them. Moreover Boxer have strong protective insticts and thus are predestinated to serve as watchdogs.

Despite their strong protective instincts Boxer yet are lovely animals that open their hearts to everyone who treats them well.[.....]

History of breed:

The breed was founded at the end of the 19th century in Munich, Germany. Until today the Boxer Club eV. has its headquarters in Munich. This club is responsible for the standard of the breed and has more than a few thousand members in Germany.

It hosts Dogshows other events such as perfomance based challenges. Thus the Boxer Club eV. is responsible for the preservation of the breed.

Boxer are awesome dogs and thus my future dog will definately be a Boxer.

Has anyone of you ever had a Boxer? Or what do you think about Boxer? Let me know

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) works as loan officer at a local bank in Los Angeles where she leads a happy life with her boyfriend Clay (Justin Long). At work she finds herself in constant rivalry with her colleague Stu (Reggie Lee), competing for the position as the assistant manager in their local bank.

For this reason Christine denies the wish of an old gipsey lady Mrs Ganush (Lorna Raver) to get another extension on her mortgage, in order to show her boss that she can make hard decisions. As the old lady starts begging, kneeling in front of Christine, Christine pushes her away shaming the old woman in public. Mrs Ganush therefore places an evil curse on Christine, which will ultimately end with Christine being dragged to hell by the evil demon Lamia.

thereafter a plot combining suprising shock-effects and funny moments developes.[.....]

All in all “Drag me to hell” is a rather good horror movie with funny moments, thus i can only recommend it! Just wacht it it’s definately worth the money.

Has anyone of you seen “Drag me to hell” yet? If yes what was your impression? Let me know

Here the official trailer:

The “Unbeatable” was beaten. Well if you don´t know who I am talking about, I am referring to the guy that had not lost a single game at Roland Garros since his first appearance 5 years ago holding the record of  31:0 consecutive victories. You still do not know who I am talking about?

Well let me tell you then. I am referring to Rafael Nadal the Nr. 1 ranked player in the ATP. He was beaten by the swedish Robin Söderling (ranked 32th) in the 4th round of this years French Open.

Well since the “Clay king” is gone who is going to win? Will Roger Federer finally be able to win the only Grand Slam tournament he has not yet won? Or will one of the other remaining 3 take Nadals place in the history books of the French Open? [......]

What do guys think?

You better not miss the semi-finals:

Roger Federer       vs.       Juan Del Potro

Fernando Gonzalez      vs.       Robin Söderling

Last friday I went to the Tierpark Friedrichsfelde in East-Berlin. Until then I didnt even know there existed a second zoo in berlin, besides the Zoologischer Garten.

The Tierpark Friedrichsfelde was founded in 1955 and is the biggest Animal Park in Europe with a size of 160 hectare. More than 7500 animals from 1000 different species can call this park their home.

In contrast to many other zoos the Tierpark Friedrichsfelde posseses spacious bawns embeded in a beautiful historical palace garden (Schloss Friedrichsfelde) .[.....]

The main attrraction is the Alfred-Brehm-Haus which was built in 1963. In those days it was path-breaking for adequate animal housing.

The Tierpark Friedrichsfelde is a must-go for everyone that likes animals. It is way better than the Zoologischer Garten.

!!Enjoy!!

Has anyone of you been to the Tierpark Friedrichsfelde? If yes, how did you like it there?

Here are some pictures I took on that relaxing day:

“Angels and Demons” the movie, the second of Dan Brown´s fantastic bestsellers, has finally come out and can be watched in movie theaters throughout Germany.

I must admit that I am a big Dan Brown fan, thus I was thrilled to watch”Angels and Demons” as soon as possible. And so I did last Friday.

Unlike “The Da Vinci Code” movie, which I find was total failure, “Angels and Demons” actually is a good movie. Less special effects, more plot.

However, having read the book, the movie “Angels and Demons” doesnt even get close to being as fascinating as the book was, but I guess thats the fate of movies that are based upon famous books.[.....]

Anyway, “Angels and Demons” is a decent movie, which is worth the money, but it is not necessarily a must-watch.

What are your opinions about this movie? Did you like it?

For those of you who havent watched it yet u will find the official trailer to “Angels and Demons” below.

The trailer:

Next year, Next try.

The Dallas Mavericks are out of the play-offs. But they lost with dignity and pride, as they did a very good job in the last game of series against the Denver Nuggets, who I believe are very much likely to even make it to the Finals this year.

Despite a good perfomance of the Dallas team especially of Dirk Nowitzki again, scoring another 32 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, they were not able to fight off Carmelo Anthony and his Denver Nuggets.

With this 4:1 victory over the Mavs, the Nuggets are now moving on to the semis, in which they will either face the LA Lakers or the Houston Rockets (series tied 3:3).

Dallas can yet be proud of their overall perfomance, after a rather weak regular season, overcoming their crisis of always losing in the first round of the play-offs by beating the San Antonio Spurs. Dallas will come back next year and will do even better.[.....]

What is your forecast for next season? Will Dallas do better or worse than this year?

Go Dallas!!!

The semi-finals:

Denver Nuggets vs LA Lakers/Houston Rockets

Cleveland Cavs vs Boston Celtics/Orlando Magic

How can u lose a game, leading 105:101 with only 31 seconds left? Ask Dallas!!! unbelievable…….

Whats wrong with Dallas?

After their 3rd loss against the Denver Nuggets the Dallas Mavericks are facing yet another early elemination in the playoffs? But what is the reason for that? Is it for the quality of the team?

I highly doubt that as I believe that the Mavs actually have a very good team. In my opinion the reason is that this current Dallas team simply lacks fighting-spirit. They really have to work on that and also on their defense.[.....]

Another reason might be Dirk Nowitzkis personal crisis, regarding the imprisonment of his former girl-friend. To be honest I dont think that this really affected his game on Saturday as he did a great job scoring 33 points and 16 rebounds, but it might have affected his motivation skills as the Team-leader.

Anyway being down 3:0 I dont think Dallas will be able to turn this series into a Dallas victory but well you never know. We will find out tonight.

Why do u guys think that Dallas always chokes in the playoffs? Let me know.

Scores:

Dallas vs Denver

1.Dallas @ Denver 95:109

2.Dallas @ Denver 105:117

3. Denver @ Dallas   106:105
