Day 38 continued - My First Mister (German/American)

 

 

"A 17-year-old girl has a troubled relationship with a 49-year-old man."

 

A wonderful film that's not breathe the classical stereotypes of life. There's a nice conflict between these two characters that truly makes you enjoy the ride of this film. The struggles of the seventeen year old girl is shown not to be a phase she is really struggling as is the 49 year old man who doesn't really live until he meets her. This film has so much heart that you want to see the story continued. This is a wonderful film that I recommend to all ages that can truly understand the struggles of the people in this world.

 

 

4/5

 

 

little info

 

Albert Brooks, who plays the 49 year old man, fought hard for this role because some people didn't think he could handle the seriousness of this role. He is famous for acting and voice acting for instance he was the voice for Merlin the fish in Finding Nemo.

 

Leelee Sobieski, who plays the 17 year old girl, went on to star in Public Enemies (2009), Night Train (2009) and many other tv/movie roles. 

Day 25 continued - nosferatu (German)

 

"Thomas Hutter lives in the fictitious German city of Wisborg. His employer, Knock, sends Hutter to Transylvania to visit a new client named Count Orlok. Hutter entrusts his loving wife Ellen to his good friend Harding and Harding's sister Annie, before embarking on his long journey. Nearing his destination in the Carpathian mountains, Hutter stops at an inn for dinner"-wiki

 

Honestly I wasn't really impressed with this film, it was kind of boring. I did happen to like the shadow work present in the film. It really did feel like a ripoff of Bram Stroker's Dracula. I did like a few scenes with Count Orlock but not that many. I will say that I think this movie was state of the art when it was first released. I do like Orlock as a character but I cant say much about him. I also think the film was slightly rushed as not a whole lot happens. I also don't really like the ending of the film, there really wasn't anything to do it. If you happen to like old movies then this is the movie for you.

 

2.5/5

 

Little Info

The studio purposely ripped off Bram Stoker's Dracula because they couldn't get the rights to use the book.

Stoker's heirs sued and won a courtcase having all copies burned but one edition of this movie managed to be saved.

Day 16 continued - Rampage: Capital Punishment (Canadian/German)

"A man takes over a TV station and holds a number of hostages as a political platform to awaken humanity, instead of money"

 

It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I overly enjoyed this film and its message plus the lead actor Brendan Fletcher who did an amazing job. The direction was good but could have been better. I also wish the supporting could have been better as well. Its still a good low budget movie to watch if you are bored and are in need of entertainment.
