23 - Nichts ist so wie es scheint (1998)
Excellent
A fascinating movie. Wonderful story, camera and directing. And one of the most excellent casts I ever saw in any kind of movie. Great work!
Starship Troopers (1997)
One of the funniest movies
Okay, let´s forget the poor acting, the fact that the actresses seemed to be chosen by the `Size matters`-Factor and some of the most brutal scenes I ever saw in a movie. What´s left is a wonderful ironic movie about a not too far away fascist future with a world full of teens not even aware they are giving their lives for some pathetic lies which were obviously made up by some kind of ministry of information. Some people said the Special Effects are the movie´s Highlights. To me the earth´s TV News were. I never saw such a sarcastic way to hold up a mirror to a society. They are some of the most funniest and best scenes of this kind I ever saw. One second you laugh, the other the laugh sticks in your throat because of these so obvious brutalities the movie´s characters are looking at as perfectly normal. The movie left me with the hope that the Bugs will win the war. Better they do, than this fascist society full of cold-blooded people not even aware of what they are doing.
Cruising (1980)
Thank you
I think, I´ve got to thank all the people who made this movie possible. I always thought, gay men are just like everyone else. But thanks to `Cruising`, now I know all they are up to is Sex, no matter where, no matter with whom. They are spending their time hanging around in Parks, searching for possible one-night-stands there, having sex in public or working on their body to look good for possible one-night-stands.
The whole movie was a ridiculous lining up of stereotypes.
I can`t believe Al Pacino ever did such a movie. And he wasn`t even very good, just like all the other actors. The only thing interesting in this movie was its surprising end. The rest of it wasn`t worth watching.
The Truman Show (1998)
Beautiful Movie
`The Truman Show` is a truly beautiful movie about the most powerful feeling in every human being: The wish for freedom.
Jim Carrey was surprisingly good in his role of Truman Burbank. Ed Harris was just frightening as Truman`s `God`, the Producer of the show.
Peter Weir`s superb directing made the spectator a voyeur, being able to watch everything Truman did until the moment he left his little man-made world and went into the real world. So, the criticisms that the spectators were left without a true ending to the movie are ridiculous. It was a logical end to the movie "The Truman Show", because there no longer is a "Truman Show" after Truman went away. To me, this ending was a true masterpiece.
I never saw a more moving moment in a motion picture than the one where Truman took the stairs into the `sky`, found a door which said `Exit`, had a conversation with `God` and left his secure little world for an unsecure future. How many people would make the same decision?
Jeffrey (1995)
Great Movie
I loved the movie. Michael T. Weiss, Patrick Stewart and Bryan Batt were very believable. Nathan Lane and Sigourney Weaver were just funny. I´m just sorry that the lead wasn`t as well chosen as the other roles were.
The scene in the gym was one of the most funniest scenes I ever saw in a movie.
