Zauberhaft und Berührend

29.12.2008

Poodles hat dieses Jahr in keinem Film geweint - ausser in dieser. Der Film "Australia" ist einfach klasse, eine sehr gelungene Mischung eines Märchen, einer Liebesgeschichte und der tragischen Vergangenheit der Aborigine Kinder - "The Stolen Generation" Eine exzellente Besetzung - Hugh Jackman und Nicole Kidman, was mehr kann man verlangen?
Well, z.B. Der Aborigine Großvater. Einfach Berührend wie er sein Enkelsohn im Auge behält. David Wenham - "The Little Fella" - der Kleine Aborigine mit den großen braunen Samt-Augen - bringt das Herz zum schmelzen. Sein Satz "I sing you to me".... da kamen mir die Tränen!! Ab und zu fällt ein Cliché, aber was solls. Thumbs up!!!

Pleasantly neurotically disturbed

20.12.2008

First up - great scenery. Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem steal the show. Humorous film about about the director's favourite topic: passionate love, can we choose who we love, who loves who, really?? The characters are all typically neurotically disturbed with the Woody Allen psycho-analytic touch. Enjoyable 'till the end.

Sober Mafia movie

27.09.2008

I always thought Godfathers lived in mansions surrounded by luxury. Here, I learnt different. This is a simple film where not the "godfather", but the clan members take center stage. This should not even be compared to multi-million dollar Hollywood productions. The "Laws of the Clans" are clearly decipharable because they are not overwhelmed or fogged up by excessive violence: punishments for breaking the rules are surgically precise. Quite a rewarding movie, and not the least because it was in Italian.

Very rewarding for those who can question

23.07.2008

A psychological maze rich with ideas but not for those who need it spoon-fed. Youth without Youth is a search to find out who we are, where are we from, who has "the truth"´, and addresses the desire by "others" to want to know it.. Those looking for simple answers won't find one - instead, if one is ready to question the "wisdoms" of the world's cultures and beliefs, one could get the plot. Very rewarding in its own way, with so many thoughts and philosophies intertwined in one film. It's not Hollywood, thank God.

Didn't deliver promises

19.03.2008

The movie sounded good: a serious look at suicide, poor boy makes good - goes down hill - dies. I was never once drawn into the movie, I tried to understand the deadlock - yet it didn't kind of come across. I'm all for "missing gaps" but there was no way of really figuring this out. It was looking at everything from the outside, never getting in. The music sucked too. The girl friend was miscast. The deeper meaning of this is lost on me. Suicide deserves more feeling and looking into.

Disappointing

19.03.2008

No suspension, just one death after the other. If you like musicals - well, maybe. Stage in the cinema, I think it was in the wrong place. Why did they make it? Can't figure it out, really. A waste of an evening. 3/10

Better than expected

03.01.2008

Good old western movie, with all the usual ingredients: a robbery, good guys and bad guys, plenty of twists and turns in the plot and some top acting to keep it all moving forward. Russell Crowe was great with a solid presence. Well cast too was his opposite Christian Bale. 3:10 to Yuma was to my delight much better than anticipated.

Religion revisited

15.12.2007

Great cast, story, special effects - this movie offers plenty of food for thought about religion, power, society and how people are split from their souls/real selves. Top good vs evil movie,and yes, you can take the kids. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Only minus: there were no **poodles** among the little demons to Poodles' disappointment!

For thinkers only

12.12.2007

Better a live coward than a dead hero? A compressed portrayel of war, politics, the media, not to mention "us," the people. Lots of talking but you are required however to do your own thinking. Not recommended for fast-food opinion-makers.

The voices in your head..

12.12.2007

.. are here personified as two people. Interesting cast, calm depiction of addiction in its basic form and function. The movie comes across at first glance as being somewhat shallow, but on closer inspection, it reveals the mechanism of internal conflicts in a simple form. Especially revealing, the discussion at the AA meeting... plenty of rational resolve doomed to failure as the unaddressed "drive" kicks in. I liked it more on reflection than I thought I might have. Psychology for beginners, perhaps.
