My Movie Highlights of 2014

Very nice movie about a young jazz drummer who is pushed to the limit and above by his teacher. The teacher's methods remind me of the movie Full Metal Jacket.

my rating: 8,5

I watched the extended version.

A heart touching movie about a blind and deaf girl and a nun who teaches her how to express herself. It's a true story.

my rating: 8,5

I like time loop movies, this one is a combination of Source Code (2011) and World War Z (2013).

my rating: 8,0

A very good sequel of 300 - better than I expected.
I would say both 300 movies are quite on par.

my rating: 8,0

Again (after The Raid 1) a very good martial arts movie with hard fighting and action scenes (impressive car chasing). The story is better as in the prequel. But the prequel has even more intense fights. Overall both movies are quite on the same level.

my rating: 8,0

A very interesting story and heart warming too.

An interesting psychological drama with a few elements of a comedy.
What would you do in a life-threatening situation and how do you get along with it, if you don't react as you're supposed to?

my rating: 8,0

I watched the extended version (appr. 7 min. longer).

Several funny short episodes about people who lose their temper.
There's a lot of black humour. My favourite episodes:
Episode 3 - "El más fuerte" ("The Strongest"), Episode 4 - "Bombita" ("Little Bomb"), Episode 6 - "Hasta que la muerte nos separe" ("Until Death Do Us Part").

my rating: 8,0

With this movie I heard the first time about Alan Turing and that he was the one who cracked the Enigma code. I watched movies about the Enigma before but with a different story and other characters.

my rating: 8,0

The guys of the Riot Club are so disgusting, it was very uncomfortable watching this movie. But that was the intention of the film makers - so very well done.

About a legal scandal in Germany. A man is accused of attempted murder of his ex-wife, a police officer, and sentenced to 10 years in prison. But he is innocent and the police tries to cover the real offender, who is obviously a police officer of the same department... This is a true story.

my rating: 8,0

Interesting movie about a young man who unintentionally gets into the inner circle of Pablo Escobar. Especially the second half of the movie is really exciting.

This is a biography/drama/documentary about Otto Weidt, a blind brush manufacturer in Berlin who tried to save the lives of some Jews during World War II by employing them in his factory and protecting them against the Gestapo. Otto is in love with his much younger jewish secretary Alice Licht and later rescues her from Auschwitz. This is a true story. Good acting especially of Edgar Selge (as Otto Weidt).

Most people only think of themselves, this movie is a perfect example of this. And that's a shame. I know, that in such a situation like in the movie, I would have decided against the money.
