Peng! Du bist tot! (1987)
Actually quite entertaining!
Taking this movie as a serious hacker movie would be a mistake, but it is a quite nice mix of comedy, hacker movie and thriller. It features some actors that were and are quite known and when this movie first was aired it was quite popular for it's attempt not to take the whole hacker stuff too serious. In some groups this is still a fun cult movie here in Germany and I also watch it now and then together with friends plus a nice night gambling session on the C=64. Concerning the movie: If you're a fan of the beginning of home computers it is quite a nice movie to watch with C=64's, C=128's and more of the good old stuff. The actors are not that bad as other comments state. Sure they could be better, but overall they do a nice job and fit good in their roles. The plot is simple but catching. Everything takes place in Germany and it also is a TV movie, so the quality is not of the ordinary cinema productions, but still nice. Give it a chance and decide for yourself: But I like it! Only problem: The movie is not aired often and also as far as I know there is no DVD, just a video cassette and this hardly can be found.
Underworld: Evolution (2006)
Nice sequel.
I loved the first UNDERWORLD and was stunned to see the sequel, because there were so much open questions.
As ever Kate Beckinsale was great (sexy) and the plot answered a lot of questions that were open after the first part. Well...can't wait for the third part. ;) The other actors also did a nice job to create this dark mood I loved in the first part. The story was not that surprising like in the first part, but I already expected that.
I also loved the production design of the movie, as it was done extremely brilliant and detailed. Some of the picture language was a bit false, but who cares, it all fitted the overall look of the movie.
