Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) 

Englisch A very tasteful, fun and lively turtle ride. It's filmed very stylishly and clearly, Mickey takes care of the fun with his funny wisecracks, I loved the seductive Megan Fox and the epic action scene in the snow, it is visually breathtaking. No need to think about anything here. I love these films, it's great relaxing entertainment and I had a great time. Similar guilty pleasure as Hercules. 80%.

Automata (2014) 

Englisch More sci-fi drama than thriller, no suspense or atmosphere came to me. Antonio Banderas is bland here, the theme of robots is so uninteresting and tedious that you'd rather be playing a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. I don't recommend the film, it's slow and uninteresting as hell, which I can't explain coming from such an attractive French-Spanish co-production.

V/H/S Viral (2014) 

Englisch After V/H/S: Viral ended, I immediately turned on my antivirus to check if I had caught any of this shit. It's made me sick!! I was only interested in the short story with the magician, which at least had an idea and was entertaining, but the rest was a disgrace of the deepest grain. 20%

American Horror Story - Murder House (2011) (Staffel) 

Englisch I only went for the second season, because I have a soft spot for sanatoriums and I haven't seen any good horror films from the same setting and I'm really pleasantly surprised. A decent choice of actors, a great bleak atmosphere, sometimes a great gore scene and decent twists all underline it very high. I was only disappointed by the finale and felt that the last three episodes lost their breath compared to the previous ones, but still great satisfaction.

Pirates - Das Siegel des Königs (2014) 

Englisch I got a completely different film than I expected. At the beginning it seems to be a predatory action ride and uncompromising carnage and it turns out to be very a entertaining, historical-adventure tale with beautiful visuals and setting (the high budget can be seen in every frame) and, most of all, an amazing cast, Ye-jin Son is delicious here. The fight with the shark and the whale hunt were great, the rest of the action was fine with some slow motion but no blood. So yeah, entertaining enough, but I would have preferred to see it in a rougher style...:) 75%

Hercules (2014) 

Englisch If Hercules had focused on completing the 12 tasks I think the film would have gone into the red as well, but I'm still very pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it is. I'm definitely impressed by the awesome Dwayne Johnson, the very attractive visuals and CGI, I haven't seen such top notch effects in a long time. I was also surprised by the great and creative action, it  is long, imaginative, excellently shot and at times decently brutal, so fans will definitely get a kick out of this one. And I was especially pleased that the film pokes fun at legends and superstitions and that there's always a realistic explanation. Perfect entertainment!

Sex Tape (2014) 

Englisch It didn't work. I was having a decent time until the 40th minute, then came the boredom, clichés, uninteresting and stupid dialogues and typical American absurdity. Honestly, my mom and I were struggling not to turn it off. Had I seen this movie in the theatre I would have wanted my money back. 40%

Exists - Die Bigfoot-Legende lebt! (2014) 

Englisch Probably Eduardo Sánchez's most interesting and entertaining work. I'm lumping all his other films into a bag with the title Boring. For being found footage this film moves along quite quickly and shows us bigfoot very quickly, admittedly I imagined this bastard quite differently than a homo sapiens, but that's a minor detail. I had a lot of fun, you can feel the atmosphere in the film, it's a pity it didn't culminate in a bloody orgy at the end, I would have gone higher.

Sleeping Dogs (2012) 

Englisch I don't like to review short films, but here I can't resist. A brilliant martial arts romp with amazing choreography and cinematography. A must for fans!

The Second Coming - Die Wiederkehr (2014) 

Englisch Herman Yau's new flick didn't turn out badly at all, but it comes off to me as probably the weakest of his work so far. I'm certainly glad that Asia didn't turn out ghost flicks or comedy madness again, but returned to an already rather stale subgenre. The protagonist has visions that allow us to see a lot of disturbing scenes, there is also a decent gore towards the end, but the slight digital mess in the form of black "fog" by the end bothered me, it was absolutely not appropriate here. Apparently the director just wanted to liven it up, unfortunately he did himself a disservice, but I still have a rather positive impression of the film. 65%
