Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter (2013)
Best German point of view of WW2
Great story of 5 friends experiencing WW2.
The characters develop during the war. It is never predictable. Perhaps the stoyline is as good as it is because it is based on true events. It is about friendships and human behaviour in general with all it's flaws. Without giving anything away, it also shows that pragmatism, with a few exceptions, almost allways wins over moralism.
IMDB wants this rebiew to be at least 600 characters, which is a little hard without giving amything away, so I repeat myself again to meet this insane requirement.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Most entertaining sequal since the original
I enjoyed this one more then any other sequal before this. It's got everything. The sleazy (Tim Cook clone) villain just nails it for me. The CGI effects are better then most of ot's current competition. It cotains some solid action scenes and a few subtle funny moments as well. Though it could have been a little better if they wrapped it up within two hours. It's just a little too long. And, though the story is a bit predictable, it's different from it's predecessors. So if you just want to enjoy yourself without expecting a believable or deep storyline then this one's for you! I recommand this one even if you only saw the original. It simply does the job in serving it's purpose.
Watcher (2022)
Becomes much better than it's first impression!
Solid acting and a great script. Makes me the think of Hitchcocks 'Rear Window'. Only flaw: no man alive would make a Deane Keaton reference to himself.. ever.
The Contractor (2022)
Extremely predictable, still a bit entertaining
Why most of the writing is just mostly copied and pasted over and over again, remains a mystery to me. Only a small portion of the production money goes to the writers. Even when mediocre actors portray a fresh and smart script, it can still be a solid movie in the end. The director only has to do a few more takes to get believeable performances.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
90 mins in and already the best spiderman movie ever
I won't spoil anything, but this story is very smart and balanced. It's funny, dramatic and full of spectacular action. But what makes this one the best spiderman movie for me, is the fact that all ingrediants are there. Great original story, lots of great action, solid acting from all involved, fast and funny. Simply a great ride! Coming from a guy that collected spiderman comics around in 1970.
Blacklight (2022)
Easily Liam Neeson's worst..
Looks like Liam Neeson copies the career of Nicolas Cage. But in his defence, the script and other actors were even worse. Idiotic storyline. Never believable. Apart from a couple of bloody moments, this feels like it was written for an audiance of 8 to 10 year olds.. really, really bad writing and acting.
Antlers (2021)
Could easily have been much better
Though the first, 2019 trailor was extremely promising, the movie didn't meet the expectations. A great trailor doesn't make a great movie. Poor script with reaseonable acting. No thriller, no horror and extremely forgettable.
The Unforgivable (2021)
Unforgivable? Unbelievable!
Bullock tries to safe a script that seems to aim for the worst: to make every character, backstory, motivation and overall storyline completely Unbelieable! What a waste of time..
Enter Nowhere (2011)
great story for 10 year olds
If your trying to sell a far fetched story, at least add a little logic to the script to make it easier for your audience to go along with the ride. Films like the sixth sense at least had some really great acting and build up to keep the viewers from falling asleep.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Like watching grass grow.. very very slowly
Easily the worst movie of 2021 and beyond.. because it will be hard to "top" this carbage.
No spoilers here because a spoilers needs a plot or twist to give away. And they both just aren't here..
One Shot (2021)
almost funny popcorn action
I want to end him, and so do you, I can see it in your eyes.. Is just one insane scripted line to sum this one up.. and.. who knew one army van had enough space to hold 1000+ terrorists :-)
Finch (2021)
Wall E meets Castaway
A little warm story with an eye for human behaviour. Without Tom Hanks this movie would probably be mediocre. Tom and Goodyear are here to support the main character Jeff and the backdrop just adds to the result. It's just a great feelgood movie without being overly cheesy. Don't miss this one.
Old (2021)
Shamalan went downhill since the sixth sence
Very poor script and acting. It feels like a very bad Netflix series for teenagers only.
Malignant (2021)
Never funny, scary or believable
Apart from the Harry Potter Voldemort rip-off the story could easily have been written by a 14 year old. Apart from the insane script, the only horrible thing you will see in this crap movie is the acting.
Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021)
this script could have been written by a 16 year old
Feels like the script is written by a teenager who saw a couple of other movies on the same subject. Don't expect viewers to get into a movie where logic and details are completely ignored. It could easily have been so much better.
Out of Death (2021)
Bruce getting worse each movie
A lot of sunshine in the forest is why I watched it all the way. Written by a 12 year old and the acting is as bad as it can possibly get.
Boss Level (2020)
Not original, but very entertaining1
Action version of groundhog day and the butterfly effect combined.
It's fast, it's funny and it's never boring. Not to be taken very seriously,
but it how a really good action comedy should be. Almost as entertaining
as the deadpool movies.
The Comeback Trail (2020)
De Niro is priceless as Coyote from roadrunner!
Just a really entertaining and funny small movie..
On the Rocks (2020)
So much better then I expected
A simple, yet very entertaining little story about life, love and insecurities. Though the natural acting of all involved is very good, the real quality comes from the directing, which is just great. The outdoor scenes are simply outstanding. They paint some really nice moods. I thought movies like this were something from the past.
The Serpent (2021)
hugely overrated
The best thing of this series is the feel of the 70s era. For the most part they took a good 3 hour movie storyline and made it into a very slow 8 hour series. With poor dialogues and needlessly flipping back and fourth in time to hide the fact that it's just not enough of a story for an 8 hour series. This could easily have been twice as good.
You Belong to Me (2021)
Worst cape fear clone so far
Ultra slow, boring and way too predictable. Waste of time..
The Queen's Gambit (2020)
you don't expect a Netflix original series to be this good
Good storyline and natural acting, but the directing is outstanding!
Though you know where most of the green screen are, you soon forget it's not actually in the mis 60's. The outdoor scene's are simply godfather like.
Palmer (2021)
Story 7, acting 9
Although the story isn't as good and believable as it easily could have been, it's lifted by the acting of the main characters. Sam is easily the best as he becomes more loveable throughout the movie.
Transit (2012)
Underrated!
The bad guys are as bad as in real life. No long unrealistic speeches, just give me the fking money. For me, this one easily beats any vampire or zombie movie.
The Righteous Gemstones (2019)
Simply great series!!!
Funny, great acting from everyone involved, especially the Gemstone kids and their evil uncle are outstanding. I was waiting for a third Vice Principles season, but this series is at least as good. Love the transparent selfish characters and the great storyline. Danny McBride deverses an Emmy! Great entertainment.
