A variant of the Monkey Paw in a way, so many stories and films with variants I lost track of what was the origin. Mainly something to make a wish with and that goes completely wrong. Not the real stuff to jump up in excitement anymore. Add to that rather boring and pretty much unininteresting chara...

#1574 Obsession on imdb:

After breaking the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush's heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.

Vorab: Ein wirklich sehr guter Film! Das Thema ist sehr schwierig weil die meisten Leute einfach nicht wissen, wie man mit Leuten umgehen soll, die darunter leiden. Darum geht es dann auch primär in dem Film, das Leid und die Aufklärung. Sehr gut gespielt und auch das "pacing" war absolut ...

#1573 I Swear on imdb:

John Davidson is diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at a young age which alienated him from his peers. He struggled with a condition few people had witnessed.

Tough subject and it is difficult to rate it, yes, it had some additions that might have been added without factual background - hard to say, but some details seemed unlikely to have happened this way and were added for film dramatic reasons. I cannot say, but the way the doc went into HG's (I dread...

# 1572 Nuremberg on imdb:

A WWII psychiatrist evaluates Nazi leaders before the Nuremberg trials, growing increasingly obsessed with understanding evil as he forms a disturbing bond with Hermann Göring.

Odenkirk as high number killer - again... This time ina little different not coming from such a professional killer environment but ends up among just that. So no shoertaqge in guns, bullets and dynamite he gets into a pretty predictable killing spree, which is fine and kept short adds to that, but ...

#1571 Normal on imdb:

Centers on a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery.

Interesting title and an interesting subject, well, partially. The song recordings were the good part, although I would have loved tio hear more of the wax cylinder recordings in the real quality, the only playtime at the end felt rather faked unfortunately (tip: Go to Nortorf and visit the "Sc...

#1570 The History of Sound on imdb:

Two young men during World War I set out to record the lives, voices and music of their American countrymen.

It was good to have the trailer of the first film beforehand, such films are fun for some for the moment of watching but the details get lost pretty quickly... Here it helped! And does it make sense to make a sequel when the original film had a pretty final feeling ending? Well, theoretically yes, e...

#1569 Ready or Not 2 on imdb:

After surviving one deadly game, Grace and her sister Faith must now outrun four rival families competing for a powerful throne - winner takes all.

The later the afternoon the less the motivation to review a film I would rather forget quickly, so I keep it short and be nice and just say I was bored most of the time...

#1568 Pillion on imdb:

A directionless man is swept off his feet when an enigmatic, impossibly handsome biker takes him on as his submissive.

More action again, maybe not as much predictive as last week and it had Ed Harris, so I can rate it a little better which would be a 3.
