The Unborn (2009)
6/10
Not bad
13 March 2009
So first everyone is talking bout "teen horror". Pls you all have to admit that in the 80s Jason was also a teen splatter-/horror. Who watched it ? Teenager, yes. So like every time, I was surfin on IMDb to check out what ppls have to say bout it. Most said lame, lack of blood, no gore blabla. I think these guys don't know the difference between Horror and Splatter & Trash :). If u want gore check out Ichi, old Friday the 13th or something equal. You want naughty language then check out Planet Terror. But if u want to watch something like the The Ring or Blairwitch Project(bad example I know but horror) u can watch this movie.

This movie was a little surprise for me cause the most horror flicks in the last 2 years were pretty lame. Always the same plot, similar characters, standard "BUH" events,lame remakes and so on. OK, the Unborn is not a title where u gonna say WOW but its OK. the acting is average and uve got some really creepy scenes.

And who doesn't loves creepy little kids :)

Overall 6/10

Not funny
27 December 2008
This Movie tries to tell the story of Lanze who is in love with the princess. One day the princess is kidnapped by the Dark Knight and Lanze starts his journey to rescue her. But he is not alone because Erdal, a turk, joins him on his journey.

This movie is not funny. OK maybe one part with Roberto Blanco but thats it. Screenedit is worst and you cant find any serial red line throw the story to follow the content. The jokes aren't good and the acting is also miserable. This movie is like a mix of Craig Mazins "Superhero Movie" and Brian Helgelands "A Knight's Tale" with typical German influences. Kind of Slapstick comedy without the comedy (like Superhero Movie).

Summary : 1 1/2 hours waste of time 3/10

Future of the Ottoman Empire
23 December 2008
Great Piece of work that shows everyone what the Ottoman Empire would have been become without Ataturk. This Movie describes a "modern" Ottoman Empire under the control of America and Europe. And it is for sure, that such a parallel (or more even worst) would happen to the Ottomans. Here are some facts now that shows, why this movie, is not just based on fiction.

Facts :

Of course some People didn't recognize the Ottoman Empires situation in the late 19th century. An Empire with high technological level in the high medieval times ended up as a low technological empire in the industrial age (simple example : after nearly 200 years later they received the Gutenberg Machine).

In 1919 the Ottoman Empire has received the orders to disband their Army and they did it.

In the Treaty of Sèvres it was planned to cut the Ottoman Empire into pieces. All important regions were under the control of the victorious opponents. The Ottoman Empire accepted it!

Summary : This movie shows exactly, what this worst case for todays Turkey would have been if Ataturk didn't existed those days.

-1 for the script -2 for the atmosphere in the movie

7/10 nice work

Waste of Time
21 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Well, I was waiting so long for a movie bout Cengiz Kagan or Timur. I was so glad to see thats a movie about cengiz will release that I forgot the part with the Russian director.

Well at first I saw many Russian titles and nearly every time the problem was, that those movies got too many cuts in the time-line. I thought that Mongol would be better but it was really the opposite of "good".

As a child u see him (like in the trailer) falling into the water (broken Ice). The next scene he is (10 years ?) older and came back ? How did he survived ? what happened to him ? where was he ?

then his wife is captured and jamukkha says lets wait one year !? and the next scene u see how they rescue his wife. well another year has past.

and so on... the last battle scene was short like the story. For those who thought they are gonna see some great fights I've just to say "nope" , the trailer was just makeup. About those who thought they will see how the mongols lived and what kind of a system cengiz had build up, ur seeing nothing of it at all.

Overall: 2 of 10
