Der Samurai (2014)
A wolfish masterpiece !
I watch movies for my lifetime and i saw the biggest crap and really good ones, to masterpieces of filmmaking. Of course, taste is an individual thing. Sometimes, or mostly, you stumble over great things, something you did not expect. Like in this movie's case. Little village gay policeman has to catch a wolf, striving around the village. He "feeds" the wolf anonymously, to keep the creature away from town. Soon he mets a bizarre "homeless person", dressed like the killer from the 1st Silence of the lambs movie. There is a deeper meaning to this, because the policeman is gay, and the homeless one represents his sexual fantasy. I really do not want to say much about the plot, because the movie left me speechless several times. Damn, this is a good one. It is to me on the same level of coolness, like "Tears of kali", even beyond that. The movie runs nearly 80 minutes, get your copy and waste your time for the good. A super 7 out of 10.
The Taking (2014)
An small occult movie masterpiece !
The movie is somewhat amateurish for the budget,one could say. It is a B- Movie one could say. But if you are a fan of 70's occult movies this one's for you. You already read about the plot being given, but this surely does not explain the meaning of the movie at all. The Alzheimer "victim" is no victim at all, because she is fully aware the whole time what is happening to her. She, and her old buddy are evil creatures of the 1st grade, making sure the she will live forever in a new body of a little child. The final 3rd of the movie explains it all. Yes, the movie has its flaws, but hey: what movie of the 21st century is flawless? Well, in my opinion none. The old masters won't be reached by todays filmmakers, because they have too much possibilities to do things in movies, what in earlier times was not possible, so they sought after a good story, and a good camera, actors grow with their turns. A good 7 out of 10.
