The Reader (2008)

A frisky German indie for the literate crowd. Kate looks terrible in this, but she's fantastic as always. The movie was alright.

Rating: C

The Tunnel (Der Tunnel) (2001)

Apparently this was a made for TV movie, but I would never have known unless I looked it up online after watching the film. A tense and emotional story based on real events and people who escaped from East Berlin under the Berlin Wall. It could have used a bit more trimming in the editing room, but overall it was very well made. I enjoyed it.

Rating: C+

Downfall (Der Untergang) (2004)

A historical German film about the final days of Hitler and the Nazis. Very well done. Adolf and his followers were a bunch of loonies. Kind of fun watching his dreams crumble to pieces all around him.
