    The Protector

    ★★★★½

    U.S. Theatrical Version:

    Weinstein´s 83- mins-action-cut of "Tom yum goong" is a wild, breathless piece of Thai martial art insanity that, although it feels extremely rushed and holey, is simply hellishly entertaining!

  • Bank Holiday

    Bank Holiday

    ★★★★

    A bittersweet, tragicomic panopticon from the days before the Second World War, surprisingly different for all those who only associate Carol Reed with "The Third Man": Themes such as the uncertainty regarding impending war events, the escape of ordinary people from the confines of everyday working life and the hope of the individual for a little bit of happiness are presented here in an opulent and stirring way.

    The drive on that highway has changed my life forever. And I had hoped so much that David Lynch would live forever! RIP David, with the deepest love, respect and thankfulness from the bottom of my heart!
