talking movies

Considering the fact that i tend to watch more movies nowadays than footy matches, it's only fair that i spend some time talking about them as well.

No critical analyses. Just a line or two will do, i guess.

Here's a list of what i saw in the past couple of days...

Das Leben der Anderen (2006)
Lan: German
Dir: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Rating 9.5/10

To be honest, this tale just blew my mind away. The mood, music, acting, storyline and ending... everything is oh so perfect. This one has surely booked a permanent spot on my Top-10 list.

Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982)
Lan: English
Dir: Amy Heckerling
Rating 6/10

Disappointing. This flick owes its cult status to the tits of Phoebe Cates (whoa!) and Jennifer Jason Leigh more than anything else. Bubblegum affair.

Goodbye Lenin (2003)
Lan: German
Dir: Wolfgang Becker
Rating 7.5/10

My second East German experience in two days. Lovely story. Steady work overall, but never reaches the heights of Das Leben...
