Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

localtrainset This is a well-made tribute to the "Quiller Memorandum", and "Funeral in Berlin" and films of that Cold War era -- anyway it felt like a tribute. All the dark East Berlin imagery, the Wall, the trains and trams and Trabants. Not everybody knows that there was no tram in East Berlin in 1989, but that doesn't make the slightest bit of difference -- the lengthy tram chase in pursuit of the nerve gas cannister is worth violation of reality. We have to wonder who knows much about East Berlin to begin with. We know that life was strict and the police reported on one another, and some of that comprehensive steel boot mentality is acknowledged, albeit lightly in this generally light-touch piece of memorabilia. -- Alan Mason, Film Features

bogobabe-1 This is an interesting take on the fall of the Berlin wall and the surrounding impact on the lives of the people. Though not always accurate, its heart is in the right place and reminds me of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and all those great Cold War movies. Ironically, this is the last of its kind, and in a way a tribute to them. Marc Singer is a bit stiff but Stephen Davies and Mary Crosby inhabit their characters effectively.
