Disenchantment (2018)
Fairytale Simpsons
Typical Groening. Badly drawn, worn out jokes and boring.
The Deer Hunter (1978)
Quite boring
3 hours long, the story can be told in a few words: Act 1: A wedding Act 2: Hunting Deer (now the first hour is over !) Act 3: America's nightmare - Vietnam (the rest of the world couldn't care less) Act 4: Coming home Act 5: Going back (searching for Nick, who was driven insane and kills himself playing Russian roulette), the best part of the film. Act 6: The burial
The movie is almost as boring as "Dances with wolves" as it is not able to tell a real story, but at least it has DeNiro and Walken (1 star for each of them). Sorry, but I have to take one star away for Meryl Streep. She was nominated for the Academy award - for this? No wonder she didn't win. Streep played but one role all of her life: Meryl Streep. She doesn't look good, her acting lacks depth, any third-class actress could play that. She is so... average.She really won 3 Oscars ? Wow, mediocrity awards, I guess.
Okay, enough talk about bad actresses. I'll give the star back for Myers' wonderful score. I'd prefer Alan Parker's "Birdy" as a movie about Vietnam veterans and their problems with getting back into the real world.
Nur über meine Leiche (1995)
Would you believe - a German fantasy comedy ?
Germans are absolutely not funny. I know for I come from Germany. Germans cannot make movies fit for cinema - at least nobody did after Herzog and Fassbinder - because they cannot think "big" enough. Directors who can - Petersen or Emmerich - have emigrated to Hollywood already.
So what could you expect of a German fantasy comedy movie ? See, that's exactly what I expected... and I was surprised how good this film was. Fun, fantasy, a nearly surrealistic story and - not one of the virtues of German productions - good acting by main characters Ohrt and Riemann, the latter I believe to be one of the few Germans to rightfully deserve the title "actress". Just watch her in "Die Apothekerin" where she plays a black widow killing her lovers and husbands and still remains kind of funny and pleasantly.
One of the most entertaining German comedies ... ever !
