Drei Rivalen (1955) 

Englisch Clark Gable here looks even older than his actual age, but it doesn't take away from how he managed to play the role of a rugged cowboy who can charm a woman and perhaps soften up a bit because of her. Overall, action-packed westerns aren't bad, probably because of the journey where anything can happen. There's not that much surprising going on here.

La bimba di Satana (1982) 

Englisch A Girl for Satan is a film that doesn't aim to scare you; it just tries to show that erotica and horror are closely related, just not close enough for both to work. Usually, one element prevails, which in this case is nudity. The setting isn't bad in terms of creating atmosphere, but ultimately, that's achieved somewhat only through the bizarre characters.

Die Schwanenprinzessin - Blaublüter Undercover (2017) 

Englisch Another installment in the series about characters who are so easily forgettable that you don't really know why you're watching it. It seems to me that this direct-to-DVD children's film isn't worth much. It's really better to wait for the proper blockbusters, and not to confuse kids' heads with this at all. The animation isn't nice, the characters are boring, and the plot isn't interesting.

Den Sternen so nah (2017) 

Englisch I'm sorry, but this movie has such a weird logic that I just can't like it. Sending a group of people to space just so a child can be born there, who then upon return will search for their father, seems like a lot of fuss for nothing because what follows doesn't make much sense. The potential of being on Earth for the first time is not exploited at all. Plus, it's all so heartbreaking.

I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat (2011) 

Englisch Who would have thought that Sylvester and Tweety would work in 3D? They do. It's fun, it's beautifully rendered, so those slapstick situations come off as truly funny, and yet it's still the same old duo that we know so well. It's not a short you'll remember for the rest of your life, but it's a good short.

Danger: Diabolik! (1968) 

Englisch A peculiar film that definitely wanted to ride on the popularity of Fantômas and James Bond, and I believe it succeeded to some extent. It's action-packed, it's peculiar, it's comedy and drama all in one, and neither aspect particularly stands out. It's somewhat bizarre, and slightly twisted at times. Simply put, Mario Bava outside of horror, and yet it works brilliantly.

Death of a Ghost Hunter (2007) 

Englisch Death of a Ghost Hunter is a film that's ten years old, so you could forgive it for some things, but it suffers from the same flaws as recent Ghost Hunter movies from the past two or three years. There are characters you don't care about and don't want to identify with. There is a lack of tension and atmosphere and there are basically no scary scenes. This isn't a film that I would want or could rate positively.

Shadow Effect (2017) 

Englisch A very weak thriller that plays on the main character experiencing something different and not knowing if it's real or just really bad dreams. The premise isn't bad, but the digital execution of violent deaths is worse. And the revelation of how everything unfolds won't fix anything; on the contrary, it could disappoint the viewer even more.

The Sins of Rachel Cade (1961) 

Englisch At first, it seemed like a missionary film, where the doctor decides that enlightenment is needed among the blacks, who believe that their own religion can accomplish something. Alright. Then it's also dramatic, a bit romantic, and doesn't offer much more, just decent actors in a fairly predictable plot.

Die Schöne und das Biest (2017) 

Englisch I can't help but feel that making a remake of an animated film that is already good and just giving it a visually stunning live-action adaptation isn't enough for me to be truly excited about the film. Beauty and the Beast is not a bad movie, but it's not a great movie either. Plus, the story just ends badly. He should have stayed in animal form.
