Mind-Blowing !!!!!!
It's a story we all know well ,Baby Kal-El of Krypton is rocketed to another world where he can bend steel in his bare hands an becomes the champion we all know and love Superman!!! The story begins of course on Krypton where Jor-El is desperately trying to convince Krypton's leaders and politicians about their planet's impending destruction then with a crash enters Zod and his army of soldiers but what really begins is the struggle between the two families ,factions then Jor-el is placed under arrest by Zod's coup then the chase begins as Jor-El resists arrest and is truly bad-ass rushing into the civil war between Zod's armies and all that would oppose him he then hops unto a dragon--like creature in an awesome krypton scene as lasers fly from side to side after retrieving the code-ex ,Krypton's genetic blueprints for future generations. He then returns to the pivotal moment where Kal-El is set off to a new world where he will eventually become it's hero, leaving Jor-El and Lara filled with a colorful mix of hope and fear as Krypton faces it's end and Zod and his subordinates are set off to the Phantom Zone ,Krypton's prison dimension spared the sunset of Krypton's former glory the eclipse of their days in a emotional and mind-blowing scene. As Krypton's last gift to the universe flies out into the dark abyss of the stars and mysteries .

The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest (1997)
World's Finest.
This movie was an excellent portrayal of two of the world's greatest super-heroes -Superman and Batman. The Joker is short on money to fuel his criminal endeavors and strikes a deal with Lex Luthor that the Joker will get 1 billion dollars in exchange for a dead Man of Steel, how does he plan to kill the Big Blue Boy Scout, with 20 pounds of solid kryptonite stolen from a Gotham thrift shop ,meanwhile Bruce Wayne arrives in Metropolis stealing Lois Lane's heart. Obviously angering Superman. Later The Dark Knight warns The Man of Steel about the plot and Superman sees through cowl using his x-ray vision. However Batman gets even by placing a tracking device on Superman's cape discovering that Clark Kent and Superman are one and the same. Superman then closes in on the Joker in a radiation suit to block deadly kryptonite rays however the Clown Prince of Crime uses his signature acid to burn through it putting Superman in a death grip ,but right when things look bleak the Caped Crusader saves the day foiling the Joker. This does not please Luthor ,an impatient Luthor gives the Joker one last shot on the Man of Tomorrow's life. This time both the Man of Steel and the World's Greatest Detective close in on Joker and after a long battle the two save the day ,Lois figuring out Batman's secret identity part ways and Bruce Wayne heads back home to Gotham at sunset after saying goodbye to Clark the two admit they work well together despite their differing methods . THE END. Boom! A terrific end to a terrific story!
Das Boot (1981)
Ein Grosse Film !
This film authentically presented the heroics ,bravery and hardships of the German sailors of the Kreiegsrine during the Battle of the Atlantic . The U-Boots of the Kreigsmarine were in tight groups called "Wolf Packs". And their signatures role was to sink Allied supply convoys these submarines were nightmares for enemy merchant ships.Among these submarines were young sailors brave and heroic men these were some were famous commanders such as Otto Kretschmer or Heinrich -Lehmann Willenbrock (who was actually a consultant for this motion picture )others were regular sailors this film chronicles their story . The sets ,the actors and performances were at their utmost authenticity and I personally think that 21st century movies should be more like the hearty,classical movies of the 20th century .
Patton (1970)
Good Film , Good Person
This film depicts a story of one of America's best . General George S. Patton as we watch his life unfold before us on screen we not only learn about Patton ,but also of other good men such as Erwin Rommel and Omar Bradley .The movie begins in North Africa during WWII . As America and it's allies battle for domination in the desert . Later we see the invasion of Sicily in which Patton seems more occupied with beating Montegomery during the invasion than the Germans and Italians trying to stop him . Then near the end it is during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 as the Allies and Germans battle in the Ardennes forest .Later after the war we see the General demanding war with the USSR .
Battle of the Bulge (1965)
A hearty classic
This movie is an action -packed adventure from the eyes of German and Allied officers . It tells the epic story of German and Allied valor in the Ardennes Forest in 1944 . Robert Shaw and Henry Fonda help make this film good and especially having actual Panzerlied from the time in it made this movie a classic .This movie is a must see for military and history buffs .The scene where Col.Hessler (Robert Shaw)'s Panzer tanks bombarded the city of Ambleve was spectacular. The scene where German soldiers sang Panzerlied was just enough to make it a classic . So that is why I like this film .I watched this during the summer it is a good summer flick .
Valkyrie (2008)
classic movie
When I sat down and watched this movie I found that it was an electrifying salute to Stauffenberg ,The German resistance and especially Germany . Stauffenberg was a phenomenal man one of my heroes , For his stand for Freedom standing up to Hitler and his evil Third Reich . This movie was also a great see for Lovers of Suspense and action you might even learn something . This movie had you following our heroes ,the Resistance for the whole thing and it had you on the edge of your seat . And when it was over at the heart-breaking end where they were executed I almost cried . This movie crafted great things movies could relate to History ,Action ,Suspense and a twist of drama and it's a true story . So that's it definitely a instant - classic May Germany grow and prosper and freedom thrive .(P.S Tom Cruise was great)
Pinky and the Brain (1995)
bring it back .
Pinky and the Brain is a good show . I like it for it's sophisticated charm and humor ,it had that old method of story telling sewed in their plans it encompassed the power of the small and the completely oblivious humans who do not know of the plans . It brought a a funny humor and is a fun show to occasionally sing -along to lyrics such as "Their Pinky and The Brain ,Their Pinky and The Brain ," It also crafted in the possibility of secrets and how humanity's dominance is hanging by a thread . To consider how many secrets the organization and Nations of the world keep for security and safety cold this relate to one . This show and "Histeria!" and "Anaianiacs " were fun for the whole family unlike today's shows which compass on one audience . This show had a hard to explain charm . Which is why I want to see "Pinky and the Brain " ,"Histeria!" and "Anaimaniacs back on air where they belong .
