What can I say about Anne Frank:The Whole Story that hasn't already been said?Not much I guess.I saw it a week ago when it premiered in Finland and was totally devastated by it.It's quite possibly the saddest movie I've ever seen.There were tears in my eyes throughout the movie and the last half an hour was almost unbearable to watch.

Hannah Taylor Gordon is a revelation.She looks just like Anne Frank but,more importantly,manages to capture her wide-eyed optimism and indomitable spirit perfectly.It's truly heart breaking to see her at the end,her spirit finally broken and all her hope gone.Gordon is so believable in her role,it's almost scary.Ben Kingsley is also wonderful as Anne's father.You really believe they are a father and a daughter.The other actors are good too,but Gordon and Kingsley really stand out.

As I said,there's nothing I can say about this movie that hasn't already been said.It's an experience that will stay with me for a long time and possibly the best holocaust movie I've ever seen. 10/10

When I heard that Tim Burton was making a new version of the sci-fi legend Planet of the apes,I was really excited.I'm a huge Tim Burton fan, and the combination seemed too good to be true.Unfortunately,the movie was one of the biggest disappointments of the year and Burton's worst movie since Mars Attacks! Don't get me wrong!The new version of Planet of the Apes is not a bad movie and in it's own genre actually quite satisfying.The ape-masks are great(even though they make almost impossible to tell which actor is which) and the sets are pretty impressive.The biggest problem with the movie is that it doesn't have the unique visual look and oddness of Tim Burton.The second problem is Mark Wahlberg.He has the same one impression on his face throughout the movie and is one of the most unintresting hero of all times. All in all,not a bad film,but when compared to massive hype,a huge disappointment
