Black Swan (2010)
Good acting, bad plot
After several euphoric reviews of this movie I was absolutely curious about it. But since the plot turned out to be a mix-up between a casting show and a bad horror movie I was rather disappointed. On the other hand the actors did a respectable job and the movie is "a solid Hollywood production". But by using this set of actors and a ballet setting they could've achieved a lot more if they'd tightened up the whole movie a bit - since the first half of the movie is just boring. Don't get me wrong - I do understand the characters in the movie have to be developed - but this was just all too obvious. MHO: not a bad movie - but not worth watching.
Schaffe schaffe Scheiße baue (2001)
The sequel to James Joyce 'Ulysses'
In this incredible movie, you can see the diversity of life taking place at some place. The most interesting thing in this movie is that there were no real actors involved in making it. All you can see is computer-generated. Bill Gates himself founded a new supercomputing center to calculate the tremendously intense graphics calculations.
When I first saw it, I could not believe my own eyes. It couldn't be possible ! How could they have made it that real. It even looks like a real B-movie that doesn't make sense. Perfection accomplished !
Despite all these facts you cannot entirely understand this movie if you don't see the connections to the movies of Jean-Luc Godard.
Watch this movie. I cannot emphasize this enough !
Funny Games (1997)
What a waste of time
If you want to watch "plain", straight cruelty, go watch some tv-news or splatter movies instead. It´s neither entertaining nor changing any point of view. One of the really few movies you could easily watch and fully understand on fast-forward only.
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Dinosaurs in the hood
No no no ! I can´t take it anymore !
On the one hand there is the main character that doesn´t want to be on this damn island again (I can understand why)-but on the other hand he wants the money. Guess what he chooses. Yup. He takes the money, crashes on the dinosaur island again... with some punks... and the story continues.
What will be the next movie-plot? Jurassic Park IV: yet another island - Quote: "Whoops major, I forgot to tell you about the other 40 Islands, where dinosaurs took over control."
Congrats for the good effects but forget about the rest.
Planet of the Apes (2001)
Apes take over control
I can´t remember the original movie (although I´ve seen it years ago) but this one really wasn´t a big hit. If you wanna see a long movie about the question what would have happened if apes ruled your neighborhood or you already have a monkey as a pet then I suggest you should have a look, otherwise watch a movie with more human actors instead.
Trainspotting (1996)
Shocking but excellent movie
This movie is a real masterpiece, because it is as thrilling as an action movie and sometimes as realistic as a documentary.
See it and be shocked about what happens to real people addicted to heroin, although it might even seem fun in the beginning of the movie.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Carpe Diem (seize the day)!
This movie has a real message-if you´re not watching movies for thinking about them, then check out another movie.
But anybody that doesn´t run away after hearing the word "poetry" and maybe likes movies that have a real intention should sit back and enjoy this excellent movie, and afterwards think about what it could mean to himself.
