Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)
The Film is not about Sushi but about love your work to perfection
If you watch this documentary the first time you will focus on the sushi part but it is basically about every mans dedication to work. And Jiro is trying to improve his work every and every day. Being hard to himself to improve his work he love so much. I feel inspired by this. If each one of us tries to improve his tasks and work every day we would have a different society. Of course it should go together with being humble and try to treat other humans you would like to be treated. Must watch basically for everyone who would like to learn something about motivation and persistence. For me a great documentary !
Hellraiser (1987)
Great Start for this Francise
The first Hellraiser is like the first Freddy or the first Michael Meyers the first Jason, or the the first Alien ... And it is a pretty damn good movie to start with.
If you want to watch a original Horror movie with a unique story this is for you.
I have read the first six books of Clive Barkers Books of Blood and I love Christopher Youngs Soundtracks ...
I you love Horror Movies this is one you MUST watch !! No doubt about it !
Demons, Hell, punishment ... it is not like Evil Dead but it is equally entertaining :) Please watch it :)
Even after 36 years .... yes nearly 40 years ... this movie is great because it is a classic ...
Dont understand the whiners here that gave this picture 1 or 2 points ...
Go on !
Great !
Out of Shadows (2020)
Some very strange but true things beeing said in the documentary
I also was very critical in the beginning of this docu but there are just too many real life interviews and videos. Eddie Murphie talking about Sammy Davies Jr. ... Then we see Sammy Davies with Michael Aquino ... Then we listen to Michael Aquino ... We listen to Girls that were taken as objects ... The Director telling us about strange things he saw ... If you watch the whole docu you start to think ... I want to believe that those things are not happening but if you watch other documentaries (from normal TV Stations around the world) you will see the connnections.... Thank you Mike for this ...You have guts ...
50 First Dates (2004)
Such a great romantic comedy
I really love this movie. The chemistry between Adam Sandler and Drew Berrymore is really really nice and I think they enjoyed doing this movie. The Story is somehow sad (I will not spoil) but both of them and also the other support actors like Rob Schneider and her brother and father are playing very nice. The movie has some really funny moments and you will enjoy watching it with your family or girlfriend if you haven't seen it yet. In total it is not the average Adam Sandler comedy but more like a romantic comedy WITH Adam Sandler. I have watched this film already countless times and it gives you always positive vibes.
They Live (1988)
Consume and reproduce
Since it came out 35 years ago I love it ... it just describes how many people were and still make a living ... If you are not obeying and consuming and buying and then reproduce ...all ordered by your TV you are not part of the society ... unfortunately this is still reality. One of John Carpenters best together with the The Thing ... if not THE best ... I love John Carpenters Films and together with George Romeros Movies both Directors found a way of criticizing the actual Society in their Films transcending it by making SF/Horror Movies that are just too close to reality ... A must see if you are a "disbelieving" :) Love it.
Outer Range (2022)
Wow -- what a mixture
Basically the series came to my attention because Josh Brolin plays the main charactere but as the story goes along a lot of other great actors are playing here as well. Will Patton or Lili Taylor. Basically everyone here is playing on a very high level. Also I would like to point out Imogen Poots and Olive Abercrombie. Both actrices play so well incredible.
The Story (without given our to many spoilers if you havent seen the series) is a mixture of Timetravel, Western, Fargo (yes), Mistery.
Somebody else said here it is a like a dream, and yes it is. Once you are hooked you want to know what is going on. I basically saw it in two sessions. I you like well told stories and the actors do yourself a favor especially when you are a little tire of all those superheroe series and movies.
The Descendants (2011)
What a great Movie ...
I am watching this movie already for 10years and I still love it. Great Story and actors and the director knew what he was doing that resulted in one of the best movies back then and ever ,,,, Really love ALL the actors .. they are all play so well... if you are not a total knucklehead please watch it !
Die Mondverschwörung (2011)
This is a foto of Germany from 2010/11
This documentary is absolutely hilarious. Our Reporter Friend Dennis Mascarenas asks all kind of people / groups about the Moon. This leads from the question who owns the Moon to what is going on on the Moon and who is influenced by the Moon. The interviews with those people will make you smile and laugh (no Spoiler here). The Bonus Disc from the DVD release contains even more and sometime longer interviews which are absolutely ridiculous. Dennis Mascarenas asks and listen to the explanation from those guys very innocently and those people trust him. Please watch this movie ! A must for people who love documentarys, conspiracys, Germany ... Unfortunately the Director looked into the Future of Germany here ... Those esoteric guys are growing stronger here in Germany and elsewhere and it seems everybody gave up to think for themselves ... 10 out of 10 !
Cell (2016)
Cannot understand the 4.4 stars review
Come one guys it is a pretty decent movie here ... Great actors and the story is good too. Maybe I missed something here but for me the mocie is a clear 10 ! Maybe I am too old fashioned here ... Love it !
Greenland (2020)
Great Movie --- Focus more on the persons relation
I really enjoyed the movie when I first saw it. I was sitting on the edge on my couch because I wanted them to succeed :)
This is more a like what happen to the family than a mega destruction movie but thats why I loved it.
Gerald Butler can play the father role really well. And all the other actos are performing very good here. It is plausible what happens there and I think yes it could happen like this. Thats why i give it a 9 ! Entertaining Movie. Watch it and you will forget everything for 2hrs. That is no action movie like Armageddon or 2012 but works on the same level but everything a little smaller but with some good actors here. I really dig Gerald Butler now. He his becoming a better actor with each movie. They should hire him for some more serious action crime drama sf movie. He really performs and is a very likeable caracter ! Watching forward to see more movies with him !
La Causa (2019)
Incredible documentary a MUST see
If you are interested in Venezuela or not or you like documentaries please watch this. Incredible pictures and conversations. I believe most of us "normal" people never saw something like this. This is the reality in Venezuela ... I lived there for more than 16 years and was lucky that never nothing bad happen to me ... And I walked in those barrios .. (Petare, Propatria, Las Brisas, Carapita, Junquito ect.) My respect to the guy who filmed it and made this possible !
The Butterfly Effect (2004)
Incredible Movie and Script
The fact that nearly 500.000 people voted for this movie and nearly 1.200 people wrote a review shows clearly how this movie made the people feel about this incredible little gem. You cannot compare it to Donny Darko guys this is different here. Having a very heavy youth here the group of "friends" are shown and Evan with his power is trying to save everyone here. Dont get me wrong here this is no nice family movie. You need to watch the movie several time to understand ... please do so before you judge ... not for the faint of heart ...
Trainspotting (1996)
Why another review ? And a ten ?
Come one guys when this movie came out in the mid ninties it blew me away ... I think there was no other movie who showed in this mercyless manner the reality of drug abuse ... especially Heroin abuse .. myself I knew personally some people who where addicted and also died from it... sad enough ... Danny Boyle delivered here a great "can happen everywhere everytime" Story ... and newcomer Ewan Mcgregor (Obi Wan) perfectly plays Marc Renton here. All the cast and of course the director deserves an Oscar... no joke ... Please do yourself a favour and if you are interested into that subjuct (DRUGS) just a little bit watch this movie.... This is was one of the 90ies BEST !!
The Thing (1982)
Together with Night, Dawn of the Dead and They Live the classics of Horror Movies
What can I add to the movie that everything has been said already... Like Night and Dawn we have the Horror here at a certain area ... you cannot leave ... this is what it makes so damn good ... apart from the great effects and actors ... The Thing is one of the Movies I have to see once a year at least ... just because its so good .... Please do yourself a favour .. if you like SF Horror ... This is the Mother of all of them .. it doesnt get any better ... please watch it ...
City of Ghosts (2002)
Why 10 point ?
Since the Movie came out back then ... I dont remember 2002 or 2003 I am watching this movie several times a year since then. The atmosphere and mood of the movie is incredible great. Matt Dillons Debut as an Director and he nailed it. Great noir crime story .... great international actors ... come one Gérard Depardieu,James Caan, Stellan Skarsgård,Natascha McElhone and many more it is a real gem. Very little people know this movie but it has a great twisted story ... All set in Cambodia .... Love this movie .... I would love to see more movie from Matt Dillon and hopefully one day this movie sees the light of a Bluray release .... :) 100% recommended !!!!
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Great action and finally something that makes sense
I dont understand all these negative critics.
The action is super. We have great actors. Amd the Story makes sense again.
Come guys it was written and produced by James Cameron. He will support a movie that will fail him.
And the movie doesnt dissapoint you. Yes we may have some scene copied :) but finally the end and the story makes sense.
Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger are great to see in their old roles and Mackenzie Davies as Grace is a great new entry. Her acting was great.
The only thing I hope that are now ending the franchise. Other than that please watch it ! :)
Mountain Monsters (2013)
Great Show !! Pure entertaining
Saw this show accidentally here on german television a while ago and was immideatly hooked. Come one 6 Hillie Billies walking at night in the woods and searching for Big Foot that is something you dont see everyday. Each caracter is unique here. Forget about CSI caracter here these guys are real :) Of course it is all scripted but it is still fun to watch. Even more it is creepy on occasion. If you really up for something that is not as clean and sober produced as you normal TV Show give it a try. The guys are great and the show IS entertaining !!!
Once Were Warriors (1994)
Powerful Movie and Powerful Story
Even after 25 ago when I saw the movie the first time i can clearly remember the feeling I had when I saw it the first time.
Since then I watched it maybe 10 or 15 times again because it is a great movie with absolutly great actors nobody knew in 1994.
Yes it is a family drama with child abuse but that is not only the main theme here ... Maories without future is another one ... and family violence another one. Dont watch it if you are offended by this. But the rest will enjoy and will be eletrified watching this drama. Nearly all of the actors went after that movie to Hollywood and became succesful... and that is great because they deserved it ... 10 of 10 for the Story, Actors and filming. Go watch it if you have the stomach.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
This was one of the most epic battles ever in Film History
Yes I gave this movie a ten ... like i gave to Good Fellas or Casino or Aliens or Terminator 2.
Why ? Because this movie is one of the best actions movies ever... CGI ... Actors... Story Directors ... are incredible.
Yes it cost 360.000.000 USD ... the most expensive movie ever ... but at least they made an incredible Superhero Movie ... Marvel understood from the beginning how to make an entertaining film. I like Zack Snyder but the DC Comics movies are just trying it to make it serious ...
Come one we want fights and funny conversations like in the comics ... The Story might be not 100 % in line or believable yeah give me a break we are talking about Superheros here ... they can do anything :)
I am now waiting for the 4 Bluray Box for the Avengers and the 3 Bluray Boy of Captain America ...
For me it ended now .... Great experience ... and I think it will take mabe some decades before they can do somethng like this again.
Superman (1978)
One of the best :)
Yes this more than 40 year old piece of crap deserves a 10 ... WHY ?
Because it was made state of the art back then ... people who watch this movie seem to forget this small detail.
In 1977 when it was shot, computer grafic was just invented ... so forget about CGI.... The Music and the Actors are driving this Film. Christopher Reeve, Marlon Brandom, Gene Hackman etc.... Great Actors and the Music by John Williams is nearly as iconic as Star Wars ... incredible ... the Story .... yes .. when it all started ... but well told... and nice Filmtricks ....See it without judging ... pure magic ....
Der goldene Handschuh (2019)
Very near to the Book !!!
Of course this is not the movie you invite your girlfriend to. 1970s Hamburg Reeperbahn was an ugly place with a lot of broken people... and this is what Fatih Akin reproduced... broken people on every level... the murder scenes are very hard and even if the movie has some kind of tragic comedy moments your laugher will stay in your throat ... Definately not for the faint of heart ... it is not a funny Akin Movie ... maybe it is also not a horror movie, but what he can reproduce is the uglyness and helpless life these people have... You really feel sorry for everyone of them .... Highly recommended if you have the stomach ...
