Gallows Hill - Verdammt in alle Ewigkeit (2013)
According to what the film is about, I would expect some atmospheric spectacle, but unfortunately it did not happen. At times, the atmosphere is somewhat ruined by how the actors are directed and how the camera is guided. It feels like there is a lack of desire to shoot something truly horrifying, scary, and the creators simply settled for capturing scenes in the typical horror fashion. It's a shame because this film, especially this one, with its concept and storyline, deserves much more.
Fack ju Göhte (2013)
There are moments here that are almost out of place, that must be here just because it's expected, but that doesn't mean that I didn't laugh during this great German comedy. On the contrary, I laughed a lot and gladly. Great rough character who discovers something more within himself, but mainly an excellent school that wonderfully doesn't work so that something can change. Exactly the relaxing comedy that a person occasionally needs.
Meshes of the Afternoon (1943)
Pythagasaurus (2011)
Möbius (2011)
The Möbius strip is a phenomenon that they managed to incorporate into the movie in this case. I was wondering how they would do it, and they almost succeeded, but that unexpected twist, which has no explanation, is nice, but I think it could have done without it. It would have worked better and had a greater consistency throughout the entire film.
Rosa (2011)
Regardless of the story, in this case, the slightly theatrical but still very impressive visual side literally excited me. It's like something from a horror circus, which I immensely like. Another story would fit better, something truly horror, but still, at times, it manages to create a great atmosphere.
The Prince - Only God Forgives (2014)
Nice cast of actors, even though the familiar faces are in smaller roles. Actually, it doesn't really matter because this journey to find the missing daughter is quite enjoyable. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing overly intense, but overall it works quite well, so I am more satisfied than dissatisfied.
Die Schadenfreundinnen (2014)
Not... There are a few good moments there and Kate Upton has nice breasts, but how it all turns out in the end, how the good guys win, it's so terribly predictable that it's hard to bear. Just another Hollywood nonsense that is not afraid of even toilet jokes, which have no substance in this performance. Well, I didn't expect anything more, and I didn't get anything more.
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
James Cagney might deserve a better rating and it would probably be appropriate to take into account the time when it was filmed, but this is still a heavily promotional film that sometimes has a bit too much pathos. However, James Cagney displays his mastery. Truly an excellent actor. It's just that the film itself is not that great.
Le Petit Dragon (2009)
Bruce Lee is an icon and I simply love him. His movies are great, it's just a shame that there are so few of them. This is an excellent, funny tribute to the martial arts master, which is also formally well-executed. It has humor and lightness throughout. Some might see it as disrespectful to the master, but I would take it as a big and entertaining honor.
