Cloak & Dagger (1984)
The Best American Movie
'Cloak and Dagger' is the best American movie, I have ever watched. Every child should have get the possibility to watch this movie. The movie is old, but... is that a reason not to watch it? The acting of Henry Thomas who played the friend of 'E.T.' in the past was brilliant. Every moment, every second in this movie was exciting. A small boy disappointed by his father in reality was living with an man in his fantasy, who was every moment he needed him at place. The boy was hunted by criminals who wanted to get an computer-game from him. But together with his friend in fantasy he escaped every time and did his best to keep this game with him. At the end of this movie is a great explosion, and the boy thinks, his hero is dead, but he is alive. But not in this way he has him in his mind. The hero who comes out of the explosion is his own father. From now on his father is his hero. And the boy is forever back in the reality. The best ending part I have ever seen. !!! The German name of the Movie is: 'Ein Tödliches Spiel' I'm proud to got this movie on an old VHS-Tape with original cover after long time I was searching for. I will keep this videotape as strong as the boy did keep his computer-game 'Cloak and Dagger'. This movie was perfect !!!
Mind Games (1989)
brilliant but frightening movie
I have never seen a movie like this before, watching this made me frightened. But the movie "Mind Games" was great and stays still in my memory after long time. There were some parts of action in it, I never will forget. my compliment to the small boy for acting in this movie, because I think, this movie was more cruelly than a horror-movie. I want to see this movie again, but in Germany it is not possible. The highest voting 10/10 from me for this old movie !!! I'm wondering, if the boy had ever the possibility to watch his own movie, he worked and acted for. This movie was never shown in the German TV. I'm wondering, what the boy think today about acting in "Mind Games" ??? This movie is special...
Wer küßt schon einen Leguan? (2004)
One of the best movies in the world
Frederick Lau, playing the leading part of the boy-child in this great German movie, was the last good and special actor what Germany can present.
Maybe he was the last of the good ones, but one of the best. I'm sure. The movie was brilliant and Frederick did his best in acting, and I hope to get an autographed photo of Frederick in the next time.
This would make me very glad and proud. And this is maybe the last wish I have to Germany. Thank you Frederick for your work.
His statement to his movie he gave, was as great as the boy is. This movie is in Germany number 1, but nobody can buy this movie in a shop.
I hope, this will change sometime.
Tatort: Fortuna III (1976)
exciting movie
This Tatort-Movie was the best German criminal-movie in that time. There were many episodes of Tatort, but this was the best and also the most exciting one. The German police-commissioner played by Hansjörg Felmy was the best one in many episodes. The Episode "Fortuna 3" had also an very special Leading actor, played by a kid. The boy was in danger, because a killer wanted to catch the boy "Paul" and kill him too. But Paul was better than the killer and was saved by the police-commissioner at last. A very good story with brilliant actors. It was Special for this time it was filmed, and too good for the making of stupid boring criminal-movies with all the same action in every single one movie in the present. Compliment to the movie-director in the past and for the great kid-actor "Oliver Urlichs", who played the boy "Paul".
Wizards of the Lost Kingdom (1985)
Why I like this crazy movie
When I saw this movie first, it was long ago on VHS-Video. I did like this movie, because it was funny and excitingly. Some years ago I saw another movie, called: *Andy Colby's Incredible Adventure* In this movie were parts of *Wizards of the lost kingdom* used in. They called this movie "KOR the conquerer". I began to search for the "KOR"-Movie many years, because I wanted to see the complete movie, not only the parts which were used in the *Andy Colby*-Movie. No shop had this Kor-Movie to rent and no shop did know this movie. Many years I watched my old VHS-tapes I had at home, and what a wonder... I had this movie since many years still at home, but the movie had a different title, because in Germany it has 3 or 4 titles. So I was happy to find this tape at home and this time I had much more time in watching *KOR the Conquerer again. The music is great during the hole movie, but the best part of filming in combination with the music is this moment, when KOR is walking drunken through the green forrest. The music in the background had some kind of magic. I like Bo Svenson, and also the boy, who played Simon in the movie. Both of them did their job very good. Manfred Kraatz, Germany, 26.10.2004. Thanks to all for reading my comment.
