| 1. Downfall | 
| Starring: Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Maria Lara, Ulrich Matthes, Juliane Köhler, Corinna Harfouch
Directed By: Oliver Hirschbiegel
August 02, 2005
An excellent portrayal of a complex character, and a harrowing look at a culture that was doomed to failure despite its early successes. It really makes one think what might have been, or what could have been, had certain errors in judgement not have been made... more

| | 2. The Lives of Others |
| Starring: Martina Gedeck, Ulrich Mühe, Sebastian Koch, Ulrich Tukur, Thomas Thieme
Directed By: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
August 21, 2007
I watched this movie only by chance after first reading many eulogies it received among reviewers. As the theme developed and I began to enjoy the immediacy of the plot I slowly realized this wasn't quite the sensitive searching look back upon a failed social experiment I'd been led to believe. As you would expect modern performers are convincing actors - I think the sharpness and no frills... more

| | 3. M (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] |
| Starring: Peter Lorre, Ellen Widmann, Inge Landgut, Otto Wernicke, Theodor Loos
Directed By: Fritz Lang
May 11, 2010
The title M comes from a chalk mark (for 'murderer') placed by a beggar on the back of a suspected serial child killer.
Fritz Lang's M (1931) remains remarkably modern despite premiering in the early sound era. Peter Lorre as the homicidal maniac shines in the last 20 minutes or so, after he's cornered by an organized gang of street people and taken to an abandoned warehouse for... more

| | 4. Revanche (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] |
| Starring: Hanno Pöschl, Andreas Lust, Ursula Strauss, Johannes Krisch, Irina Potapenko
Directed By: Götz Spielmann
February 16, 2010
The tagline on the movie's theatrical poster asks: Whose fault is it if life doesn't go your way?
This German production, a crime drama/love story, directed by Gotz Spielmann has been described as "about a bad person seeking good." The heart of the drama is as old as Hamlet's indecision and as modern as a classic noir story of a man who spirals down because of a woman.

| | 6. Max Raabe and Palast Orchester: Dance & Film Music of 1920s | 
| By: Max Raabe
July 31, 2007
I've watched this dvd over & over. If you love the popular music of the 1920's, '30's & 40's - this is a real upper. Max Raabe and his orchestra have recreated the authentic sound and look of the era. I have some old recordings of German tangos of the period and many recordings of American music of the period and the arrangements are faithfully reproduced with all the gusto, excitement and... more

| | 7. Woman in Berlin |
| Starring: Nina Hoss, Evgeny Sidikhin, Irm Hermann, Rudiger Vogler, Ulrike Krumbiegel
Directed By: Max Faerberboeck
November 10, 2009
I don't like this movie. It deserves 5 stars for superb acting, an horrific and heartwrenching story based on the true accounts, grim sets and photography, and a pervading mood of despair.
A German journalist, Nina Hoss as the dark eyed, beat-up, unintentional siren, stays behind in Berlin to document the invasion by the Russians(Soviets). Soon, she finds herself caught up in the rape... more

Directed By: Wolfgang Becker
August 10, 2004
This was such a boring film. It may have some interest to people living in the former East Berlin, but for the rest of us...BORING. So boring in fact that, very soon after watching it, I gave my copy to the local Op. Shop. ... more

| | 9. Wings of Desire (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] |
| Starring: Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Otto Sander, Curt Bois, Peter Falk
November 03, 2009
Features:- WINGS OF DESIRE BLU-RAY (BLU-RAY DISC)
Operating on the Earth, of an ex-Pres Bill Clinton's highly recommended book visualised, angel in Berlin looks rather lost and homoerotic while hanged around epochs and streets, peeping at the characters suicidal.
This interesting work is too philosophical for an ordinary viewer.

Directed By: Christophe Gans
August 26, 2008
Definately not what I expected. C'mon, a Native American martial arts expert? Not to mention all the other martial arts scenes in the movie. I bought the directors cut and it seems there's 40 more minutes of footage on disc 2. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I see there's even a 3 disc version! What more could they possibly add? ... more
