Tigermilch (2017)
Suspense, drama with a good essence
I didn't expect it to be that good. The story flows from start to finish, the acting across the board is just great, and I never had a feeling of boredom or lost interest throughout. Definitely recommended. Catch it on Netflix!
The Witcher (2019)
Feels rushed
Having played all the games myself I can say that I'm familiar with the universe. The cast makes little to no sense (Tris Merrigold having no actual red hair, Yennefer being 13 years younger than Geralt etc.) and the fanbase is complaining. Although partly agreeing with the mainstream, I still found myself enjoying the show. The scenery and music fit very well and the world they created gives the feel of the actual Witcher universe.
In my opinion, the show could have tremendously benefitted from a slower pace and more time to explain the origins of each character. It just feels rushed.
The highlight is definitely Henry Cavill who even gets his voice and charisma (if Geralt has any) on point. If the main protagonist wasn't that convincing, I would have stopped watching after the second episode.
Although an okay start, I'll be hoping for more the next season.
Polar (2019)
Thanks to Mr. Mikkelsen worth a watch
I'm a huge fan of these type of movies. This one though is by no means great, rather mediocre with flat acting except the obvious. If it wasn't for him, I would've turned it off at around the third mark. Some jokes here and there that don't really come across as funny as intended and overall exaggerated colors especially in the woods/greens. Okay for a movie night. If you are looking for substance and better acting + storyline, watch John Wick instead.
The Fisher King (1991)
What a surprise!
This is my first review and I just watched The Fisher King for the first time.
As a huge fan of both Bridges and Williams, I thought to give this one a chance, even though I've never heard anything about that movie before (I'm from Germany, guess it's not popular here at all)
Starting with a totally different Bridges character, (compared to the Dude) adding a fantastic Williams (who would've thought of that..) and gently putting the delicious Michael Jeter and Mercedes Ruehl cherry on top - would be the recipe for a great movie.
And it was, and I enjoyed every single minute of it. It's one of those movies that makes you think about our society, lives and world in general. There's a philosophical meaning behind it as well. All in all I'm overwhelmed by all of its actors, writing, directing and cinematography
Definitely gonna watch it a few times more.
Highly recommended
