Summer Wars 2010
Again an anime I liked very much and again theres no need to write much because Jere and Peter Rogers dit it already.
Sometimes it doesnt need a too realistic story to make a good film and sometimes you recognise yourself also in an a bit exaggerated subscribed familiy life... maybe thatswhy its such a pleasure to watch it

The King of Pigs 2011
its interessting, but the Koreans seem to have a problem with mobbing and violence at schools. This is - after Bystanders - the second film about it.

Somehow I am disappointed. Maybe I expected too much because of the title, I had something in mind like Van Helsing or Dracula… either typical horror or history trash. But it was nothing of it.
Ok, it had a nice constructed historical context. The action scenes were good, the athmosphere dark enough. On the other hand I found not even a hint of humour and the weatherforecasts for the next week are much scarier.
So, when you really want to watch it, borrow the dvd, but save the money for the cinema ticket.
