A Rumor of Angels (2002)

Trevor Morgan is a brilliant young actor. He is the protagonist and has lots of screen time. Very emotional melodrama with great themes and a fine cast.

8 / 10

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 Santa Clause (1994)

A wonderful movie, dealing with a different approach to a very famous and well-known background story. A must-watch for christmas! It has an awesome Tim Allen, great images and a very smart plot which is suited for kids as well as for adults. You just have to believe, that's all! Imaginative cinematic brilliance at its best.

Der Schatz der weissen Falken (2005)

I loved it. Very strongly reminiscent of Stand By Me - there were even some dialogues and sequences almost identical to the classic by Stephen King.

Second Best (1994)

Oh my God, I'm speechless. Probably the best man-boy movie ever apart from The Man Without a Face. I'm so glad I finally came to see it. Simply brilliant.

Secondhand Lions (2003)

Great family movie with some coming of age rites of passage. I prefer the original ending (which is included on the DVD). It's much better than the actual ending which is shorter and just corny.

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.

Shadrach (1998)

Scott Terra is one of my favorites. This movie here is a very good one, and he plays a substantial role. The story is fairly simple, but it is the fine cast and the cultural burden of how to deal with an old slave that adds a sincere message to the plot. Harvey Keitel plays - apart from Scott - a significant character. The messages of doing the right thing, of confronting the legacy of our cultural past and of dealing with death and the brittleness of life, mingled with the many calm and quiet sequences of the movie, make it a valuable example of emotional and sophisticated film-making. Scott is in the center, and he comes to experience both the tragedies and the magical moments of life, symbolized by the events of this summer experience.

8 / 10

Shane (1953)

A wonderful classic. Not only for those who love westerns, but also for those who like solid classic acting that brings out the best in the characters. Alan Ladd in maybe his best ever role. Watch out for it!

The Shining (1980)

I absolutely despise this one. When I first saw it I was expecting a lot, as it is said to be a good (almost legendary) movie. However, I was totally disgusted by what the story of Stephen King has turned into. Stanley Kubrick has entirely abandoned the originial version, and folks, I've heard that Mister Stephen King himself was furious about Kubrick's adaptation and told him that several times.

The story is weird. Jack Nicholson's dumb "I'm-as-nuts-as-a-moron-and-kill-'em-all" glance, which is presented for ages without a cut, is so cheap and just disgusting.

Shorts (2009)

Yeah, you guys have pretty much said it all. The boys are great, the story is a complete mess. :D
