Uncle Buck (1989)

Enjoyable family entertainment. Long time I saw it - as far as I remember, it was funny and witty. Good job, adapted for children mainly.

My Movie Rating:

7 / 10

Undertow (2004)

Unstrung Heroes (1995)

Right, I know this movie. Nathan Watt is smart indeed, the story, however, did not live up to my expectations. I mean, yeah, the underlying themes are lovely and easily detectable. The end was quite good, when Nathan and his dad were watching the movie sequence together in which the boy's late mom appears. That's a heart-rending sequence. The rest of the plot was somehow a bit too weird too me. I mean the uncles - what shall I make of them? They are two thorough oddballs, and I just don't like such characters who are nuts. Nathan though - he was the one who actually made me watch the entire movie. The father-son aspect was fine and emotionally agreeable, as well as the boy's uncertainty whether or not to change his confession. He did very well, indeed. The movie itself is honest and dealing with tough themes. I'll give a 7 actually.

Village of the Damned (1995)

It was okay. I mean the theme is very famous, and the actual adaptation in this version was indeed not bad. However I don't remember having been emotionally involved too much in the story - but it wasn't meant to cause that effect anyway. Thus I have to cherish the quality of the movie objectively, and so I'll give it a solid 7.

Eine vollkommen erlogene Geschichte (1977)

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)

The boy character in the lead does a very good job. His looks are very sensitive and genuine, he has a very captivating stage presence. A boy in whose looks I could drown.

The story is a typical family-fantasy adventure, and as that it pretty much succeeds... as a serious movie it would fail.

My Movie Rating:

7 / 10

We Bought a Zoo (2011)

Somewhat slow plot-wise... some great father-son moments

Die Abenteuer des Huck Finn (2012)

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996)

It was okay. Nice images, nice story, nice adaptation of a well-known plot. In particular the kids turning into donkeys was nicely staged here. A solid 6.

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

Anna and the King (1999)

Yeah, a nice love story. I normally don't like the majority of tacky movies produced in this genre, but this one was okay. It had sincere acting and an unusual and thus interesting background.

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

The Believers (1987)

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

The Blue Lagoon (1980)

I didn't particularly like this one, but the idea is definitely very interesting. The kind of growing up far off any cultural influences makes a good story. The acting was decent, but not outstanding. There could have been a more sophisticated transformation of the idea.

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)

A genre of its own. Not as legendary and classic as the original, but definitely worth watching for those who like the genre, the actors and/or the music. Buster is cool in his black suit.

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

Bob the Butler (2005)

Funny.
