Gary Fleder – „Das Urteil“ (2003)Ein Justizthriller, der auch über zwanzig Jahre nach seiner Premiere eigentlich noch nichts von seiner Wucht eingebüßt hat. Gary Fleder inszeniert einen Prozess gegen einen Waffenhersteller als gnadenloses Spiel um Macht, Moral und Manipulation. Wo andere Gerichtsdramen einfache Heldenfiguren bieten, zwingt dieser Film sein Publikum dazu, im moralischen Zwielicht auszuharren. Denn keine Figur ist eindeutig „gut“ oder „böse“, jede Entscheidung folgt Interessen, Abhängigkeiten oder Kalkül. (ZDF, Wh.)

Dear #Hollywood
It's been 29 years since #GrossePointeBlank and I think maybe *bing bing bing popcorn* the a-okay not weirdo should hit an arms dealer in Ottawa for one last job that he has doubts about but feels obligated to carry about, and it only makes sense for Dan Aykroyd to "help avoid uhh.. embarrassing overlaps."
Martin Blank had his doubts about hitting a Canadian and when he arrives, his concerns are correct and he pulls out all the stops to help save all Canadians.
No one dies, convenience stores are shot up and we all learn that friends are important.

Rob Reiner – „Stand By Me“ (1986)Wenn man(n) die Lebensmitte schon eine Weile hinter sich hat, dann bekommen nicht nur Erinnerungen an Filme, sondern auch an die eigene Kindheit und Jugend jedes Jahr einen neuen Stellenwert. Nach dem plötzlichen Tod von Rob Reiner und seiner Frau – und der dahinter stehenden Familientragödie vor nur ein paar Tagen -, fällt es mir allerdings tatsächlich schwer, diesen Film nicht auch als ein frühes Vermächtnis seines Regisseurs zu sehen. Auch, weil ich damals, als ich ihn zuerst sehen durfte, das meiste meines eigenen Lebens noch vor mir hatte. (ZDFneo, Wh.)

The delightful history behind serendipity suggests it’s not mere luck – NPR
Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack in the 2001 film Serendipity. RGR Collection / AlamySpecial Series, Word of the week
The delightful history behind serendipity suggests it’s not mere luck
January 7, 20265:00 AM ET, Heard on All Things Considered
By Juliana Kim, 2-Minute Listen
In the new year, we can all use some serendipity, right?
Since the word was coined in the 18th century, “serendipity” has been used to describe all kinds of scientific and technological breakthroughs, including penicillin, the microwave oven and Velcro. (More on these below.)
The whimsical term has also been the title of countless poems, songs and books about remarkable coincidences or eureka moments. And let’s not forget that it was the name of the charming 2001 romantic comedy about two strangers — played by John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale — meeting and reuniting during chance encounters.
“Serendipity” — as the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it — is “the ability to find valuable or agreeable things not sought for” or “luck that takes the form of such finding.”
While the word has often been associated with good fortune or happy accidents, its origin suggests that serendipity goes beyond just happenstance. Some researchers argue that serendipity can be acquired through skill and that opportunities for serendipitous moments occur more frequently than we realize.
In this week’s installment of NPR’s Word of the Week, we dive into the roots of serendipity, its impact throughout history and tips on how we can cultivate it ourselves.
Serendipity’s wayward journey
While serendipity is all about the unexpected, its origins are less mysterious.
Serendipity Plot: Although strangers Sara and Jonathan are both already in relationships, they realize they have genuine chemistry after a chance encounter – but part company soon after. Years later, they each yearn to reunite, despite being destined for the altar. But to give true love a chance, they have to find one another again. The Movie DB: 6.951/10 Information Runtime: 90 min Genre: Comedy, Romance Language: English Country: United States of America, India Budget: $28,000,000 Revenue: $77,516,304 Homepage: Release date: October 5 2001 Read more: The delightful history behind serendipity suggests it’s not mere luck – NPRContinue/Read Original Article Here: The delightful history behind serendipity suggests it’s not mere luck : NPR

In the new year, we can all use some serendipity, right?
Since the word was coined in the 18th century, “serendipity” has been used to describe all kinds of scientific and technological breakthroughs, including penicillin, the microwave oven and Velcro. (More on these below.)
The whimsical term has also been the title of countless poems, songs and books about remarkable coincidences or eureka moments. And let’s not forget that it was the name of the charming 2001 romantic comedy about two strangers — played by John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale — meeting and reuniting during chance encounters.
“Serendipity” — as the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it — is “the ability to find valuable or agreeable things not sought for” or “luck that takes the form of such finding.”
While the word has often been associated with good fortune or happy accidents, its origin suggests that serendipity goes beyond just happenstance. Some researchers argue that serendipity can be acquired through skill and that opportunities for serendipitous moments occur more frequently than we realize.
In this week’s installment of NPR’s Word of the Week, we dive into the roots of serendipity, its impact throughout history and tips on how we can cultivate it ourselves.
Serendipity’s wayward journey
While serendipity is all about the unexpected, its origins are less mysterious.
Serendipity Plot: Although strangers Sara and Jonathan are both already in relationships, they realize they have genuine chemistry after a chance encounter – but part company soon after. Years later, they each yearn to reunite, despite being destined for the altar. But to give true love a chance, they have to find one another again.
