The 5th installment of the Rambo series and hopefully it's last. After ,Rambo', a fantastic action movie, now comes ,Last Blood'.The movie tries to get us emotionally involved into the characters and their relationships and that works for the first hour of the film, not always perfectly, but for a Rambo movie its pretty fine. Then the girl dies an John decides to take this from Rambo to Death Wish. The action is fine but not always good inscenated, the dialoges range between cheesy and unserious. Stallone tries to make this one so hard, brutal and dark, that it ends up to be even quite funny in some moments.

What worked wonderful for the fourth (and made him the 2. best after ,First Blood', in my opinion) misses here completely.

But, to be fair, the movie is still fun and entertaining to watch. This really shoulf be LAST Blood...

6/10

The Fox and the Hound is not Disneys best movie nor their funniest or their best known but the movie is brillant in its own way. There is the Story about two animals, wich are supposed to hate each other but become friends. As the plot goes on they get shown by their environment that they can't be friends and the Hound is stsrting to hate the Fox for a particular reason. In its best moments the movie really touched my heart and although the end is simple, its fantastic.

8/10

To live and die in L.A. is stylistic and tense, the story is great and Willem Dafoe is at his best. We have a great anthagonist and an inaccessable protagonist. Two cops which dont really know if they are working together or against each other and a finale that came very unexpected to me.

All in all it is great Movie, but not one of the best...

8/10

First of all the stop-motion animation in the movie is perfect, nearly beautiful.

Tim Burton shows us an emotional story about a shy guy, who is pushed into marriage by his parents. In an attempt to practice his lines he accidetly proposes to a dead woman in the woods. Firstly disgusted by the fact that she is a rotting corpse he tries to escape her by running back to his living bride. He gets back to the world of the dead through his corpse bride and slowly starts to see her true colours. He is falling in love with her personality, ignoring the fact that she is still a corpse...

This movie is the perfect example, to prove that the old story sheme ,fall in love with the personality, not with the looking' isn't as dead as Victor's bride. The film is beautifully made, heartwarming, emotional and funny, of course.

I would say that everyone can and will have fun with ,Corpse Bride' Just enjoy it.

This Scorsese-Classic shows us an unsympathetic protagonist, who deserves nothing better than what the movie shows us. We don´t really want to see a happy ending for him but the movie manages to keep our eyes on the screen anyway. Although we don´t cheer for La Motta, we want to see what is going to happen next. Our eyes are watching him beating his wife, his brother, being an awful human and an even worse father, but we still want to see how the story ends. We don´t want to see him living a live in harmony, we want to to see him getting what he deserves.

Scorsese and DeNiro´s fourth colaboration can easily keep up with "Taxi Driver" or "Mean Streets".
