Star Wars: The Clone Wars
by JensThe pilot for the upcoming computer animated Star Wars series about the Clone Wars between Episode 2 and 3 is actually a lot more fun than the first reviews made everyone believe. If you're a fan, that is. Everyone else has every right to ignore this movie. But people enjoying to hear more stories from George Lucas' universe far far away that haven't been told yet could really get a kick out of this. The animation is simplistic on purpose, there aren't many facial expressions, the soundtrack reprises some of John Williams' scores but also sounds a bit too modern at times and some of the dialoges are rather weak. On the other hand, there is so much action, basically non-stop, and that's just pretty damn fun to watch, bringing Jabba The Hutt into play actually brings a nice feeling of familiarity into the film. It's no outstanding movie making, but I had a good time with this and am looking forward to the show. Okay, half a star comes from fanboy me. Sue me.
Hey, you should really see this if you like Star Wars, the cartoon show, expanded universe and especially the prequels.
If you don't care about it: skip it, this is just for us ;)posted 19 days ago -

Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others)
by JensGermany's latest Oscar winner for best foreign film, having snatched it from Pan's labyrinth, truly lives up to all the praise it received. The acting is outstanding (especially the late Ulrich Mühe, but also Sebastian Koch and Ulrich Tukur), the script sincere, intelligent and thrilling, portraying a realistic DDR regime of the 1980s and how it kept an eye on its people's private lives. The filming and editing is top notch as well, especially the exciting second half is brilliant. It's a slow movie and requires concentration and an interest for the politics of this time from the audience. The result is extremely rewarding though. One of the strongest German movies.
Hey, you should really see this if you like intelligent, thought-provoking and realistic film making.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
by JensThis hilarious detective story set in Hollywood's acting high society is so full of great dialoges, quirky one-liners and twists that it's over sooner than you can blink. The trio of Robert Downey (again proves to be one of the most versatile and best actors of his generation), Val Kilmer (incredibly funny as kickass gay P.I.) and Michelle Monaghan (gorgeous and really talented) works so well together, as if they never had other partners before. The whole storytelling aspect of the movie is just fantastic, starting with a nicely 60s styled title sequence and Downey as smart ass narrator tearing down the illusion of watching a movie quite regularly by making it pretty damn clear that you are. The plot is smart, unpredictable and still makes sense in the end, the pace is really fast, sometimes maybe even a tad too fast.
I haven't laughed that hard in a movie for a while, yet was on the edge of my seat about what was gonna happen next. What a great mix of buddy comedy, action thriller and detective story. I want more of that.Hey, you should really see this if you enjoy buddy comedies or detective thrillers. This works perfectly as both.

The Dark Knight
by JensSo, what to say about one of the hypes of the year? That the first 30-45 minutes underwhelmed me a little, where there was a lot of politics and crime talk but not really all that much Batman, which made it almost feel like a superhero stumbling into a Michael Mann thriller? That I kinda missed Gotham City having a unique and at least semi-comic-esque look, like in the old films and still parts of Batman Begins, because it just looked like Chicago (which it was as an intentional choice by the creators, but not what I want in a Batman film)?
No, let's not talk about that. Before you're starting to think I didn't love this movie let's get to the acting, directing and especially and the second half of the film. Holy crap.
How Nolan managed to turn the excitement screw closer and closer with every minute of the movie with the character triangle of Batman, Dent and the Joker was just amazing. The action, the timing, the dialoges, the plot, the surprises: perfect. The whole showdown with the two boats and all twists and turns that included was just genius.
All that was not only thanks to a great script but actors at the pike of their abilities. People like Bale, Freeman and Caine always deliver great performances, but the winners of this movie were others for me.
a) Aaron Eckhart who was a perfect Harvey Dent, for a while even felt like an equally important co-star to Batman / Wayne.
b) Gary Oldman whose part as Gordon was so much more satisfying and interesting than still in the first movie, carried by his wonderful performance.
and then c) there was the late Heath Ledger, who somehow wasn't there. I didn't think of him for a second during the movie, because I was watching the Joker, this insane, funny, creepy madman who was pulling all those strings. He will be remembered and talked about for this role for a very long time.
In short, the second half blew me away so much that it more than made up for a few bumps in the first.
Easily the best Batman movie so far.Hey, you should really see this! One of the movies of the year, no doubt.
