‘Unknown Origins’: Cool Concept, Poor Execution
Unknown Origins promises a cool spin on superheroes and serial killers, but ultimately delivers cheap comedy.
Das Glück ist ein Kaktus
They have been best friends since their school days: Edith and Hermione. Just after Hermine's 65th birthday, they embark on the biggest adventure of their lives. After Hermine finds out that her husband Klaus is cheating on her and Edith is supposed to visit a retirement home at her daughter's request, they pack their bags and flee to Mallorca. They want to open a restaurant there - without men and without problems.
