HeliCops - Einsatz über Berlin (1998–2001)

One of the best action series I know

[16 May 2001]

I followed this series from the beginning, mostly because I love flying, and flying a helicopter is my dream. But I also liked the series because of its idea and actors. Sometimes the scenes were rather rough - I don't think it'd be a good idea in the real life to shoot first and ask questions later - but it's also nice every now and then just to look at series like this, action, I mean. I love the actors in this, they're more personal than in some American made series. And it's fun to watch all the famous places in Berlin. :)

All in all, this is probably best series I've seen in a while, it has got beautiful helicopter, charming pilot and several jokes I laughed for hours.

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999)

I'm glad they made this movie.

Definitely one of the best films I've ever seen. Hoffman's "Conscience" just puts it together. Does anyone has a right to kill even for a cause? What is right or wrong? How are we ever able to know it? Is there God outside or inside us? This is not a war film. This is a film of people trying to understand life in their view. How can we say is it right or wrong view? I saw this movie in a film theatre and it was really hard to wait until it came out in video. I bought it right away. I just love all the actors and actresses, especially Desmond Harrington's Jean d'Aulon. He's one of the most sympathetic characters I've ever seen in the movies. Milla is also really great in her role, she just suits it perfectly.

All in all, I really liked this movie and I know I'll watch it over and over again.
