Funny Bones (1995)
One of the best cinema experiences I ever had
A friend of mine told me there was a British film hardly anyone knew something about. The German critics seemed to have forgotten about it. But he said, this is a must, a beautiful piece of the British sense of humor. So I went to the cinema and had one of the best evenings you can imagine with a movie. smugglers bringing something quite valuable to England and one of the smugglers getting his feet cut off in a dramatic scene. Nothing to laugh at you say? Quite right, but cut off feet used as running gag in a movie full of surprising, amazing, humorous situations at any time makes you laugh at least at the third or fourth coming back. The actors do a wonderful Job - Lee Evans and the radio sketch, his "fathers" in the haunted house or Oliver Platt exploring the roots of his father's success - you must love them. A wonderful movie not mentioned enough in the movie history.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Not quite the Class of Episode IV-VI, to much animated passages. I missed the charme of the Storm Troops (real men) or the Ewoks.
I went to "The Phantom Menace" to see how the story began and therefore I must say, George Lucas did not forget anything important for the following Episodes. But i was disapointed to see that the underwater world on Naboo was an animation which remembered at any point at a computer game called "Schleichfahrt"(sorry, I don't no the english name)and I preferred that one. And the invasion troops where pure animation too. A film composed in the virtual reality and in this point a very good piece of work. But for a Star Wars Movie "Episode I" missed relationships as Chewbacca and Han Solo had, emotions as the Ewoks showed and something like the "humanity" of the storm troops, which means I always could imagine that the stories of Star Wars could become reality in a far away future, but "Episode I" seems to be virtual reality of our days.
