Come on, guys, it's not that bad.

Running Scared (2006)

High-speed action, nicely developed plot, well-paced storyline developments and twists. I was particularly fond of the considerable screen time of the two boys - in fact they have to bear a significant part of the plot, something very rare in classic action movies. Both of them manage to set their stamp on the storyline and do a great job in dealing with the omnipresent violence. Paul Walker as protagonist Joey Gazelle is their main partner and allows both Bright and Neuberger to show their abilities in certain moments you need to watch out for.

The Secret Garden (1993)

Heydon Prowse plays a difficult character in a very experienced way. The overall story is well-known. Its transformation in this version was good. The father-son aspect was a bit underdeveloped and lacked real emotional depth, especially from Colin's dad. I think one could have made this movie more sophisticated, more vivid and realistic. It's the genre though I guess that has to be considered. The magical elements were fine. However, it didn't make it to one of my favorites.

Sidekicks (1992)

Haven't seen this one for ages. Young Jonathan Brandis was a very talented actor, and I'll always remember him for his roles in IT and The Neverending Story II, both of which I loved as a kid. I could easy relate to him in Sidekicks, having had the same respiratory problems. The story itself is a kind of Karate Kid revisited.

Silent Fall (1994)

Surprisingly good movie! Set up as a classical crime story, with lots of twists in the end and a very convincing autistic boy. I didn't quite come to terms with the voice-imitation thing - this seemed so very unrealistic, at least in the dubbed German version, in which they used the voices of the adult actors when the boy imitated their voices. I strongly doubt that a high-pitched boy-voice could imitate the deep adult sounds so easily. I wonder if this is the same with the original English audio? Richard Dreyfuss was very good as the disillusioned child psychologist. Worthwile experience, I was never tempted to zap away.

Simon Birch (1998)

Nice, funny and moving.

The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)

I enjoyed Freddie's double performance. The ending was very cheesy, but I guess you can't get around feel-good endings in such family movies.

The Squid and the Whale (2005)

Owen Kline is amazing, but that's that.

Summer's End (1999)

Important story, good movie.

Taming Andrew (2000)

Seth Adkins is wonderful in here. His acting makes this TV movie better than ordinary ones. He shows how good he is and how genuinely he can handle demanding roles, as he did in First Do No Harm. Good job, Seth!

Tempelriddernes Skat (2006)

Okay, nothing great, but decent enough.

My Movie Rating:

The Three Investigators and the Secret of Terror Castle (2009)

Nice sequel.

My Movie Rating:

7 / 10

Time Bandits (1981)

I liked the story, despite its unreal and sometimes peculiar events. The underlying idea is really smart and has some appeal, the actual transformation was improvable though. I liked the changing settings and the emphasis on imagination and fantasy. Sean Connery's appearance was an interesting feature that leveled the story up to a certain extent. The ending is good, the images are basically nice and apt. Not one of my favorites though.

My Movie Rating:

7 / 10

Tom & Thomas (2002)

I like the story and the entire idea behind it. Aaron Johnson does a fine job indeed. The movie as a whole is just a bit too modest in its decor and some scenes are a bit overdone. Nice and entertaining nonetheless.

My Movie Rating:

7 / 10

Torzók (2001)

Good movie.

The Tree of Life (2011)

Very unusual, distinct and challenging movie. You can definitely call it highly sophisticated and valuable in terms of its artistic approach to the most serious issues of life. There's lots of room for interpretation. If you follow it with an open mind and a steady amount of concentration, while knowing what you are in for, you will enjoy it. Normally not "my cup of tea", I had no problem watching through it, mostly because I knew what I had to expect. It was a worthwhile experience, something you watch and rethink several times, and cherish because of its uniqueness. I kinda liked the wisdom of the narration, while I couldn't really make much of the seemingly unconnected images that from time to time appeared "randomly". I'm sure there's much to it, but that's art, real art. Watching this movie is like a long walk through an art gallery - not exactly what I would call "my" approach to filmmaking, but definitely worth the experience.
