The Complete: Arrested Development

Come on!

suppressed after three seasons of Mitchell Hurwitz 'sitcom Arrested Development , my attitude to the show most likely in a reformulation of the series intros of: "now the story of a highly praised sitcom Which won over everyone, and the one viewer who had no choice but to keep it together ". The series appears like on leaderboards, one for TIME's 100 best TV shows of all time ("characters and genuine laughs") and is also for the British Empire the 18th most successful show, which was admired ever on TV ("some of the sharpest comedy writing of all time"). And I can after review of the 53 episodes less understand the accolades, but rather the setting of the Show 2006.

co-initiated by Hollywood director Ron Howard keeps the real estate company in the sitcom Blooth Company, whose head Blooth George (Jeffrey Tambor) in the pilot episode of fraud go to prison. Contrary to his expectation was the second eldest son Michael (Jason Bateman) above is not the successor of his father but his mother (Jessica Walter). With the arrest of George and the "wealthy family" that threatens to lose everything, then Michael comes into play - "the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together" . His attempts to rescue the company found less in the office instead of at home, where the standard of living relatives spoiled summon the chaos.

In pseudo-documentary style, follows Arrested Development while with a handheld camera from the illustrious family of Michael. From narcissistic amateur magician and older brother Gob (Will Arnett), the pampered amateur activist and twin sister Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) and her husband, ex-psychologist and amateur actor Tobias (David Cross), and daughter Maeby (Alia Shawkat), to the young mother's boy Buster (Tony Hale) and Michael's own offspring, George Michael (Michael Cera). Lots of characters so that sometimes - according to their simplicity without destructiveness - are complemented by her no-good lawyer Barry sugar grain (Henry Winkler).

Arrested Development - Season One

The first season begins mixed. It is true that the second episode ( Top Banana ) already represents a promising improvement and fifth in the episode, Visiting Ours finds the most compelling episode of the entire series, but the remaining 20 episodes vary on a fine line of mediocrity. Most Characters pursue their own subplot, it was Buster who accidentally an affair with Lucille (Liza Minelli), the same neighbor and nemesis of his mother, begins or Tobias, who is trying to get to first role tenders taking acquaintance with Rocky performer Carl Weathers makes. Meanwhile, Michael tries to consolidate the company.

Much humor is produced at the beginning by the prison visits to Michael when George shows he has acclimated well ("I'm doing the time of my life") is established and that even Henry Winkler in fact nothing understands his job. At the same time is already included here the beginning of the second-longest Story Arc of the series, when a crush George Michael in his cousin Maeby. will rap for the true stupid Michael Cera, who seems to always play the same role since then, a noticeably unpleasant situation from which Arrested Development to the bitter end capital. As simple Cera match fails also (his long two faces), he demonstrates the convincing cast of the series.

Whether it's the smug Will Arnett, David Cross, or the silly calculated Jessica Walter. That point has been cast to the roles, of which Jason Bateman has mostly left behind. Although Michael with the figure seems to be grounded, he is at the same time that appears by all characters on the most unappealing. His son, he neglected over long distances as effectively as his own parents in the case was the case and is also practiced by his sister and her husband no less effective. Occasional growth experienced by the ensemble also by guest performers like Heather Graham, Julie Louis-Dreyfus, Jane Lynch, Judy Greer and Amy Poehler.

latter two still fit most successful in the foreign environment, where Poehler has also made it easy because it only has scenes with husband Arnett. The basic recipe of the first season (and series) is redundant - and this is the approach even spanked on. Whether it's the recurring gag with the new adopted son of the family ("Annyong") or the prison policy of physical proximity ("No touching!"). The few nice moments of the most below-average effects (only Shock and Aww stands out a bit) can not hide the console that is Arrested Development in his first year turned out very arbitrary.

Arrested Development - Season Two

the first season it was determined that Michael at his relative's financial belt close fastened, the second season moves after the escape from prison by George's brother quarrel between elders and the second oldest in the spotlight. Gob is appointed as the new president - but more as a figurehead, Michael runs but still the fates. In addition, the ensemble expanded by an additional member, if George Michael Ann (Mae Whitman), his first girlfriend get hold of. An ailing love Lindsay and Tobias finally expected, however, although extremely successful, but an open relationship intended as a way to establish to their problems.

The second year, Arrested Development increases markedly, but without but to have succeeded so. (. Michael vs Gob, George Michael ♥ Ann, Maeby & Film Business) With the increased focus of most storylines the series has a rigorous and less arbitrary, despite the fact that some of the subplots - join in particular Tobias' efforts, the Blue Man Group - tear on the nerves rather than the funny bone. So among other things also Buster is a little ground, if it is first written by his mother Lucille in the army and later lost his right hand on a sea lion. There is also a reunion with old friends.

Most of the guest performers of the year give the honor again this time and are supported by many large caliber like Thomas Jane, to Ben Stiller and Zach Braff. Specific presence here shows Mae Whitman, its integration as Ann ("Who?") @ venues as well for another successful recurring gag, as well as a studio producer Maebys Employee ("Marry me!"). It is therefore again the redundant jokes that are the foundation of the series, such as the later one-armed Buster or the family characteristic to dance like a chicken to give in most cases, Michael, you hold it for a cowardly chicken (see Ready, Aim, Marry Me ).

avoids Although Hurwitz in the second season of gross outliers down (as in the previous year occurred in the middle section), a really compelling episode but it will not succeed as well. There are a handful of episodes as Ready, Aim, Marry Me , Sword of Destiny or Afternoon Delight that have somewhat become more coherent than their other colleagues. Total was, therefore, recorded an increase, thanks to character development especially for George's twin brother Oscar (Jeffrey Tambor), who should flourish in the third and final years a special destiny. For it was indicated already that Arrested Development despite eleven Emmy nominations its end opposite him.

Arrested Development - Season Three

All good things come in threes. For the third year was then concluded with Arrested Development , critical acclaim or not. The quotas were set in, a full third, which led to the halving of the ordered episodes. The fact that the radiating Fox on the whole not solve the innocent should not be denied, the sitcom is placed in the third year but at the same time slot as the Monday night football game. Whereas a little seen but critically acclaimed sitcom as 30 Rock on NBC is kept the faith (whether it is an open question correctly), it is however at Fox sawed off (a fate that befell already there before Family Guy Futurama and ).

can Looking back - at least from my side - to say that this was the case of Mitchell Hurwitz 'Show the right decision. For the third season, episode number reduced or not, undercutting not only the last relatively successful second year, but also even the pilot season. The cause of this can identify two sub-plots that were neither interesting nor amusing on the one hand and the other much were circulated for too long. Charlize Theron so there in five episodes from For British Eyes Only a mentally retarded British woman (and as a reinforcement of that she has absolutely no comedic talent), with Michael received an engagement party.

Furthermore occurs Scott Baio as a new lawyer for the family, which advises on the one Blooth Company as such, but to advance and Lindsay's and Tobias' divorce. Previous Story Arcs as army Busters obligation or the feelings of George Michael and Maeby be continued during an amusing subplot falsely imprisoned Oscar ("I'm Oscar.com ") at the beginning is found. Otherwise, save Arrested Development the third year in the average, for completeness could be For British Eyes Only describe this as "peak", although that would be expressed euphemistically. In the end it was probably just not meant to be.

It is Arrested Development not necessarily a bad sitcom. Hurtwitz implemented a lot of nice ideas, their quality was reflected in their redundancy. Whether the naming of George Michael, said the cultural misconception Annyong (which unfortunately disappeared during the second season) or Michael's rejection of Ann. The humor of the show shone again briefly, but it always seemed like a flicker in the dying embers. Somehow the show has grown to love but then why the discussion for years (and allegedly taking off next year) Movie will be consumed by me as well. I'm just at last becoming a cowardly chicken. Coo-coo-ca-cha!

True Grit

sequels and comic book movies dominate the market, in addition to alien invasion and vampire vehicles. Remakes are also en masse, by Joel and Ethan Coen, the mentions, however, "remake". To basically lay True Grit, a western novel by Charles Portis of 1968, already 40 years ago with John Wayne filmed in the lead role and now be renewed. The result is the most successful film of the brothers, both with the public as with the critics. Technological terms True Grit nifty also, Roger Deakins' pictures as beautiful as ever and Carter Burwell's score sounds good, too. Only with the plot and the characters that is again so 'ne thing about the Coens. Detailed at Evolver .

Kynodontas

Whoever deserves it will get it.

On 20 October 2006 it was time. The police stood at the door. Rang, spoke to the answering machine, threatening to gain access by force. What had happened? The Bible-believing Christian and a music teacher Uwe Romero from the Baden-Wuerttemberg Bissingen at Teck had not three of his children brought to school. The instruction was "neither Christian nor value-neutral" Romero said at that time compared to the mirror . The fact that in Germany there was compulsory, Romero does not matter. There was a big drama. "The policemen brought the excited and crying children to school," Süddeutsche Zeitung described the then. A year ago, finally got the Romeike political asylum in the United States, where they now have the right to teach their children at home.

Germany has what the theme of "home schooling" As a special position in Europe. For here there is no education, but a compulsory education. While home schooling in other countries such as England and France is possible, therefore, he will be allowed in Germany only in extreme cases. Although home schooling is not the topic of Yorgos Lanthimos' Kynodontas , but also in Lanthimos three children dependent on the care of their parents. holds on an idyllic property a manufacturer (Christos Stergioglou) his family captive. In agreement with his wife (Michele Valley) should their son (Christos Passalis) and the two daughters (Aggeliki Papoulia, Mary Tsoni) do not leave the premises. From the outside world they get to anything.

passing aircraft toys - a faith that the father is replaced by upright, because sometimes one of them landed in the garden. During the day while away the time children in that they lead meaningless competition for the attention of her father. For example, who can last the longest air. And if father is in a good mood, then in the evening looked even a family video or music of his grandfather one, whose real name is Frank Sinatra and translated the words of the father ad hoc. Everyone seems happy. The parents, because they protect their children from the dangers of the world. And the children because they know no better. Until the father thinks he has to satisfy the sexual desires of his son and brings an outsider home.

That Kynodontas this year for an Academy Award as best foreign language film nominee, is surprising. Because the film is anything but mass appeal. Compare arrange Lanthimos' second feature film between the Enfants terribles Lars von Trier and Michael Haneke one. And the Greek seems no doubt influenced by Haneke, Von Trier, Pasolini, and the like directors who are pursuing ways to controversial socio-cultural approaches. In one scene the father obtained from a dog trainer the progress of his Doberman. This show, however, not yet "how we want your dog to behave." Similar to the Doberman dog trainer appears to be the father in turn, to train his children. The results are often absurdly comical educational activities.

Because happy times threatened to increase family room and consolidation, if the mother announces she's pregnant with twins and a dog. Only to appease: "I might avoid giving birth." On demand degenerate Zombies then to yellow flowers and a sudden intrusion in the property cat is dubbed "the most dangerous animal there is." Nothing that happened is, of father and mother ignored every little thing becomes part of their skeleton lies and the parties ultimately the victim of that same. "You can not trust anyone anymore," the father says in the third act, in which blurred the boundaries between morality and ethics last. True to the Marquis de Sade ". Each universal moral principle is a perfect fantasy"

Lanthimos has succeeded Kynodontas an extremely fascinating film in which not much is spoken or acts, but this in no way results in it to lose its attention. That one actually knows nothing, either in medical terms deal with the children, whether they believe that there are several, their property-like "enclaves" are or why should actually found a lost brother on her own behind the wooden fence to live in the garden not interfere. Things are just the way they are and by the audience as the children immediately accepted. That they have preserved of their behavior in the naive innocence that they wanted the parents is a prerequisite for the functionality and authenticity of the showing.

The production of the film is minimal, just like the game of those involved. The dialogue is wooden and often recited without emotion, love and lifelessness a reflection of the souls of children. Maybe an analogy to Genesis it are the daughters, who explore the limits of their "paradise". So unconventional and well fail Kynodontas , it still seems unlikely that he actually wins the Oscar. What is the merit of the film for the Greek cinema does not diminish. Moreover, home schooling is illegal in Greece. But as said already de Sade: "There is no course of action, and like them appear no matter how immoral, the somewhere in the world tolerated for granted or even approved would. "

In wonderful sunshine we went today to the Val Resa Gabriela the Grotto Al Ritrovo . We had reserved and assumed inside to take in the very comfortable rooms with space

but then there was this sunshine and Gabriela recommended, but at least take the Aperitivo outside. And she was right, in this weather and this wonderful view ...

Sips of Merlot Rosso Kopp of the Crone, the sun-warmed more and more ... and then we decided not reliably our wonderful place in the sun.

as antipasto for me there was a vegetable carpaccio with goat cheese, delicious: thin slices of cucumber, about wafer-thin slices of tomato, which tasted after a tomato, something Cicorietta verde, thin fennel plane and a few sprouts in the middle, served with 2 small fresh goat cheese, balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Gerhard Eckard and shared brotherly a carpaccio of tuna with fresh bean sprouts (I could not take pictures, the men were faster with their fork)
had I went back to Saltimbocca of chicken breast with saffron risotto

Besides these delicacies you have to necessarily indicate here because of the homemade pasta, ravioli with fresh herbs are found mostly on the card, but also a delicious gnocchi or risotto. recommends as a "trifle" or Antipasto Piatto a Ticinese:

This, however, have to eat at the next table - but with a round of grappa, we have the photography rights acquired ;-)

There are also delicious desserts, but we gave it, as so often would end up with only espresso AND !! the delicious home-made grappa, Gabriela from a gallon in the beautiful, painted by her bottles, often in quite harmless Perrier bottles, fills

and then on the table, very very dangerous, and generally it will not be be at one, because the espresso cup must also be rinsed out properly yet.
