- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsMatthew McConaugheyAnne HathawayJessica ChastainWhen Earth becomes uninhabitable in the future, a farmer and ex-NASA pilot, Joseph Cooper, is tasked to pilot a spacecraft, along with a team of researchers, to find a new planet for humans.visually astonishing, emotionally immersive. bonkers, too. 7.5

- 1971– 1h 29mTV-146.9 (145)TV EpisodeDirectorJan BonnyStarsMatthias BrandtAnna Maria SturmLars EidingerIn their fifth case, Chief Inspector Hanns von Meuffels and his colleague Anna Burnhauser have to investigate a Munich police inspection. They are ordered to the internal investigation from the highest level, because a young transsexual died in the sobering-up cell of Police Inspectorate 25. A complaint was made by the dead woman's partner. Now Chief Inspector von Meuffels has to find out whether the five colleagues on duty actually behaved according to the rules that night or whether more happened than the reports of an initial investigation suggest. The investigations into the suspected police officers are not only difficult for Hanns von Meuffels, but also soon dangerous. But on his search for the truth, the partner of the dead woman, the transsexual dancer Almandine Winter, becomes his companion in the risky search.6.2 .. surprisingly gritty and downbeat. i also loved the look, all the way to the design of the credits. lars eidinger as a transgender person provided some unintentional comic relief, too bad. well done, jan bonny. 7
- DirectorAsia ArgentoStarsGiulia SalernoCharlotte GainsbourgGabriel GarkoRome, 1984, Aria is nine-year-old girl. On the verge of divorce, Aria's infantile and selfish parents are too preoccupied with their careers and extra-marital affairs to properly tend to any of Aria's needs. While her two older sisters are pampered, Aria is treated with cold indifference. Yet she yearns to love and to be loved. At school, Aria excels academically but is considered a misfit by everyone. She is misunderstood. Aria finds comfort in her cat - Dac and in her best friend - Angelica. Thrown out of both parents' homes, abandoned by all, even her best friend, Aria finally reaches the limit of what she can bear. She makes an unexpected decision in her life.7.2. .. really impressive. i enjoyed this one a lot although it runs a little out of steam in the last 30 minutes. asia argento also apparently wrote most of the fantastic score. kudos! a beautiful, funny and irritating movie. 9
- DirectorSean DunneStarsBoom MicA love letter to the weird and wonderful people of the Sunshine State.8.2 .. 'i expect people to use their brain, really' 7.5
- DirectorAlejandro G. IñárrituStarsMichael KeatonZach GalifianakisEdward NortonA washed-up superhero actor attempts to revive his fading career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway production.15.2 .. while this is a gorgeous, unusual, crafty, inventive and highly engaging piece of filmmaking, with strong performances all around, especially zach galafianiakiakisakis (surprise), after leaving the theatre (where this one should be experienced!) there's nothing to conceal the weak story. not much there, really. but still, a great experience for the cinema. for me, it works as a lighthearted companion piece to black swan. very fine sounddesign and cool score by jazz drummer antonio sanchez (pat metheny group). 7.5
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsJoaquin PhoenixJosh BrolinOwen WilsonIn 1970, drug-fueled Los Angeles private investigator Larry "Doc" Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend.21.2 .. couldn't make it through this one, we left the cinema about 90 minutes in - more like inherent boredom, hahaa haaaa haaar! but in all seriousness, I guess I know what p.t. anderson is going for, and the point that this is a story about desinformation and false leads that go nowhere etc is the point of the story and is just the next logical step after there will be blood and the master. movies about conditions more than about plots. that might work, but the direction, acting and especially the camerawork is so bland, uninteresting and joyless .. I don't know. nothing juicy going on here. fantastic johnny greenwood score, again. too bad.
stay clear, rewatch the big lebowski for the 100th time. 3.5 - DirectorWilliam Peter BlattyStarsGeorge C. ScottEd FlandersBrad DourifA police lieutenant uncovers more than he bargained for as his investigation of a series of murders, which have all the hallmarks of the deceased Gemini serial killer, leads him to question the patients of a psychiatric ward.23.2 .. very weird. but great. really. somehow like halloween 3. blatty's krude direction did it for me, so unconventional and fascinating. and george c. scott gives a cool performance. some real scares and even gore in this one, too. recommended to horror buffs! 8.5
- DirectorTony RandelStarsDoug BradleyAshley LaurenceClare HigginsKirsty is brought to an institution after the horrible events of Hellraiser (1987), where the occult-obsessive head doctor resurrects Julia and unleashes the Cenobites and their demonic underworld.2.3 .. the visuals and implications creep under the skin, but i couldn't care a bit about the story or the characters. kind of comical also. 5.5
- DirectorRobert AltmanStarsShelley DuvallSissy SpacekJanice RuleTwo roommates/physical therapists, one a vain woman and the other an awkward teenager, share an increasingly bizarre relationship.5.3 .. almost too slow for me, but i kept watching and was rewarded with a somewhat interesting, bergman-ish psychological thriller / game of deception in the last 3rd. 7
- DirectorMark HerrierAlan OrmsbyStarsJill SchoelenTom VillardDee WallaceA master of disguise deranged killer begins killing off the college students who are organizing a horror-movie marathon in an abandoned theater.7.3 .. there's a lot of heart put into this, and that is very appreciated. likeable villain too. still, didn't connect with me that much. 6
- DirectorMark HartleyStarsSam FirstenbergDavid PaulsenLuigi CozziThe history of the independent film company, The Cannon Film Group, Inc..8.3 .. pretty entertaining story.
- DirectorMichael MannStarsScott GlennIan McKellenAlberta WatsonNazis are forced to turn to a Jewish historian for help in battling the ancient demon they have inadvertently freed from its prison.9.3 .. in other hands just weird supernatural nazi schlock, under michael mann's direction a really really slick movie. recommended! 8
- DirectorSaul BassStarsNigel DavenportMichael MurphyLynne FrederickSuddenly, desert ants form a group intelligence and wage war on the humans. It's up to a couple of scientists and a girl to stop them11.3 .. simply awesome. how did this one fly under my radar for so long. also, check out the super trippy alternate 'lost' ending on youtube! 8.5
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsCristina MarsillachIan CharlesonUrbano BarberiniA young opera singer is stalked by a deranged fan bent on killing the people associated with her to claim her for himself.19.3 .. finding some real gems lately. opera is defintitely one of argento's finest. for me, right up there with my favorite, tenebre.. that much style, attention to detail, craftsmanship, vision .. all in the name of a totally ludicrous, brutal story. thank you, dario! 9
- DirectorAndreas DresenStarsMerlin RoseJulius NitschkoffJoel BasmanIn 1990s east Germany, three boys are in love with techno music and start their own club.20.3 .. having grown up in west germany, i guess i just cannot relate to the problems of people being 18 and in the east when the wall came down. those cliché nazi skins .. but i guess that's how they looked back then. granted, this movie looks great, but the scope of the book seems to be too big to condense into 2 hours, and there's just so much stupid sh*t. i have to admit, i kind of hated this one. 3
- DirectorDamien ChazelleStarsMiles TellerJ.K. SimmonsMelissa BenoistA promising young drummer enrolls at a cut-throat music conservatory where his dreams of greatness are mentored by an instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student's potential.21.3 .. this story about ambition, mortified egos, competition and 'music equals sport' left me kind of perturbed. intrigued by the subject matter, because I myself am a jazz musician, i found it to be overly dramatized, comical when it was intended to be dead serious, and ultimately reactionary. i was perplexed by the motivations of both teller's and simmons' characters. adding to this is the clunky editing of the music performances, and the featured music itself, what attributes of the art were highlighted and in what way. but nevermind, i guess this movie is not about music at all. 4
- DirectorLeigh JaniakStarsRose LeslieHarry TreadawayBen HuberA newlywed couple finds their lake-country honeymoon descend into chaos after Paul finds Bea wandering and disoriented in the middle of the night.26.3 .. bohèmian couple faces problems and some body horror. 4
- DirectorDan GilroyStarsJake GyllenhaalRene RussoBill PaxtonWhen Louis Bloom, a con man desperate for work, muscles into the world of L.A. crime journalism, he blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.26.3 .. very slick movie with a really intense gyllenhaal. highly recommended! 8.5
- DirectorOskar RoehlerStarsTom SchillingWilson GonzalezEmilia Schüle1980: 19 year old Robert, fed up with Hippy phoniness and bourgeoise narrow mindedness alike, flees the German provinces for West Berlin. A tour de force through the glorious dirt of West Berlin ensues. Full of sex, drugs, love and PUNK.28.3 .. west berlin in the 80s, with blixa bargeld, nick cave and rainer werner fassbinder impersonators, gay nazis, raf money and more outrageous things. very entertaining for a german production. 7
- DirectorTakashi MiikeStarsTakao OsawaNanako MatsushimaGorô KishitaniA team of cops must protect an accused killer with a billion-yen bounty on his head.1.4 .. mainstream thrills, double crossings, tragedy, duty vs morals .. one of miike's rather forgettable efforts. still, a quality movie, but with some strange out of place hollywood-esque artefacts. i give it an extra point to compensate for a drop in entertainment value due to the german dubbed version i had to watch. 6
- DirectorAndrew LauAndrew LooStarsJustin ChonKevin WuHarry Shum Jr.Two best friends rise through the ranks of New York's Chinese underworld in the 1980s.2
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsKaren GillanBrenton ThwaitesKatee SackhoffA recently released inmate from a mental asylum learns from his sister that the murders he was convicted of committing were actually orchestrated by a supernatural entity, the Lasser Glass mirror.4

He's offered group therapy and his dad, an inmate as well, tries to talk sense into him. Can he be rehabilitated?29.4 .. impressive, unflinching prison drama with a really intimate emotional core. highly recommended! 9
- DirectorAlan RickmanStarsKate WinsletAlan RickmanStanley TucciTwo talented landscape artists become romantically entangled while building a garden in King Louis XIV's palace at Versailles.4.5 .. alan rickman delivers a charming, beautiful movie. winslett's trauma story seemed a tad forced and unnecessary, but many little character moments make up for that. nice! 8
- DirectorBrett MorgenStarsKurt CobainWendy O'ConnorDon CobainAn authorized documentary on the late musician Kurt Cobain, from his early days in Aberdeen, Washington to his success and downfall with the grunge band Nirvana.5.5 .. 7.5
- DirectorGeorge MillerStarsTom HardyCharlize TheronNicholas HoultIn a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper and a drifter named Max.17.5 .. mind boggling action sequences and even REAL characters. it's a kind of '300' guilty pleasure type thing at first glance, but it really is much much deeper, more sophisticated, more fun than that (and the setting should allow). i had to remind myself to close my mouth a couple of times after a couple of those insane holy sht moments the screen kept spilling over me. 9
- DirectorJean-Marc ValléeStarsReese WitherspoonLaura DernGaby HoffmannA chronicle of one woman's 1,100-mile solo hike undertaken as a way to recover from a recent personal tragedy.5
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJulianne MooreMia WasikowskaRobert PattinsonA tour into the heart of a Hollywood family chasing celebrity, one another and the relentless ghosts of their pasts.5
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsColin FirthEmma StoneMarcia Gay HardenA romantic comedy about an Englishman brought in to help unmask a possible swindle. Personal and professional complications ensue.5
- DirectorSebastian SchipperStarsLaia CostaFrederick LauFranz RogowskiA young Spanish woman who has recently moved to Berlin finds her flirtation with a local guy turn potentially deadly as their night out with his friends reveals a dangerous secret.14.6 .. the team needed three complete takes to make this technically impressive one shot movie happen. it is over 2.5 hours long, contains several locations, and has mostly improvised dialogues. camerawork is clear and beautiful, and that deserves respect. but .. for the first hour it is just a typically snooze inducing berlin party night as seen million times before, then it progresses into a bonnie and clyde story with no motivation at all. also, I can't take these characters and scenes anymore. nothing original here. a horribly stupid, to me even appalling story about .. friendship? commitment? loneliness? drugs? youth? idiocy? what's left is just the gimmick of the one take. this movie had the same effect on me as 'als wir träumten' a couple of months ago. stay clear, watch 'kurz und schmerzlos' or 'run, lola, run' instead. 3
- DirectorFrank HenenlotterStarsJames LorinzJoanne RitchiePatty MullenA medical student sets out to recreate his decapitated fiancée by building her a new body made of Manhattan street prostitutes.19.6 .. not worth watching even for the funny 3 minutes of exploding dummy hookers and awkward editing. 4
- DirectorJemaine ClementTaika WaititiStarsJemaine ClementTaika WaititiCori Gonzalez-MacuerViago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are struggling with the mundane aspects of modern life, like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.20.6 .. mostly amusing vampire mockumentary. 6.5
- DirectorRainer Werner FassbinderStarsHanna SchygullaLilith UngererRudolf Waldemar BremJorgos, a migrant worker from Greece, joins a group of young people in Munich usually hanging around. This foreigner incites hostility and jealousy among them, and he is insulted as a "Communist" and "Greek dog".

- DirectorMichael FenglerRainer Werner FassbinderStarsLilith UngererKurt RaabAmadeus FenglerWith slicked-down hair and three-piece suits, dependable Herr Raab is a technical draftsman. He gets along with his colleagues although his boss wants him to go beyond technical cleanliness to problem solving. He's a dutiful husband; his wife's a social climber and pushes him to seek a promotion, but they also share sweet moments. He's a caring father, helping his son with homework. His parents visit; his mother criticizes his wife. Old School friends drop by, as do neighbors. Some comment on Raab's wife's expensive tastes. His promotion may be a long shot, especially after he gives a dull and tipsy toast at an office dinner. But why would Herr Raab run amok?10.9 .. 4
- DirectorChristopher McQuarrieStarsTom CruiseRebecca FergusonJeremy RennerEthan and his team take on their most impossible mission yet when they have to eradicate an international rogue organization as highly skilled as they are and committed to destroying the IMF.16.9 .. strangely, i liked this one quite a bit. the 'love story' was actually sweet and well told. some brian de palma moments in the vienna opera. mostly no vomit inducing camera work, acually, even the most ridiculous scenes had an air of 'class' to them. wtf! 7
- DirectorPete WalkerStarsRupert DaviesSheila KeithDeborah FairfaxAfter escaping a death sentence for her hideous crimes, a seemingly rehabilitated woman settles in an isolated farmhouse with her husband, only to ache, once more, for blood, and a crash-course in surgery.
