Overly sweet romantic comedy about a love affair between a student from West Berlin and an East German border guard, in the fall of 1989 as the Berlin Wall is about to crumble. Very watchable (in a Hollywoodish sort of way), often quite screwball and unbelievably corny, but in a good, old-fashioned way.
The third (and final) installement of the Lisbeth Salander's saga is extremely disappointing. In sharp contrast to its predecessors, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (2009) and "The Girl Who Played With Fire" (2009), this film is slow, boring, predictable and devoid of any sex (or nudity). It's basically a courtroom drama with very little action, because Lisbeth is behind bars (or in a hospital bed) the whole time.
Very tedious drama about a Japanese girl who travels to Germany to visit her parents' tomb. This very simple story would be told better in a short film. As is, the movie seems artificially stretched beyond a breaking point, with similar dialogue, situations and shots repeated several times for no reason. There is an unintentionally hilarious negative review of this film on imdb.com - hilarious because the author obviously takes this apolitical picture way too seriously ("this movie portrays a very very western, very very German, very very far-left standpoint on capitalism"), even though the film has absolutely nothing to say about capitalism (nor any other ideology).
