Class Reunion (Klassikokkutulek)

Class Reunion (Klassikokkutulek)... about three middle-aged men, who are going to their high school reunion after 25 years.

Filled with restless comedy, Class Reunion as a movie is complete disaster, because a movie should be fully complete and smooth, but in this case scenes are just flying by like in some stupid TV-show.

Acting is awful, those three Estonian actors didn't knew what they were doing, not at all.

Comedy is okay, jokes well delivered to the audience, every single person laughed at the cinema for at least once, its frustrating but comedy in total wasn't as stunning , jokes are randomly put somewhere in  the dialogue, it might be funny, but in total it's completely catastrophic.

Plot insanely doesn't make sense at all, this movie should've been like at least 30 minutes longer, but in matter of fact I'm not sure how many people would still remain at the cinema till the end in that case because plot is boring and indistinct, story divided completely incorrectly, first character development was foggy, actually it took five times more time for those characters to mature during the film, than the class reunion itself lasts.

I went to the cinema with big hopes, being satisfied of the job they've done as the credits roll down, but not in the bloody hell I wasn't, only good part of this movie are jokes, overall this movie sucked, starting from the nonsense plot and ending with actors who didn't had even the slightest idea of what they were doing, don't set too big expectations for this movie or they will get crushed real big.

As hard as it might be to belive that, Class Reunion made only one enormous mistake, copying American movies and setting goals far too high for them to achieve.

Casablanca

Casablanca... a story about two former lovers who meet once again in Casablanca, Morocco.

Groundbreaking and beautiful master art of cinema history.

Plot isn't anything difficult, in fact it's a bit empty, not in a bad way, but story gets most interesting in the end, dragging you into the bottomless ocean of love, and then the end is one of the most devastating in all drama history, everything in correct form, character doings made clearly sense.

Acting is miraculously good Humphrey Bogart with stand out performance, ridiculously fantastic acting, Ingrid Bergman gave perfect like performance too, but this three times Oscar winner greater years became later.

Chemistry between these two is the main complex reason why Casablanca succeeded on such a high level, with dark and deep undertone, mostly taking place in one area, Casablanca maintains under all those circumstances a favorable movie for all of us to watch.

This B/W drama achieved groundbreaking Cinematography goals, lights weren't dominating, some scenes where lights were necessary they were used, and Oscar-winning director Michael Curtiz, who was a household name back then, and has now become century defining moviemaking legend, nailed it with Casablanca, scenes couldn't be more perfectly directed than they were in it.

Casablanca achieved something that no-one has ever done before nor after, as wonderful as it is, Casablanca doesn't deserve to be called anything less than a masterpiece.

Rating: 4/4

M

M... a motivating drama, that builds suspense with exhilarating storyline, and brilliant moviemaking.

Astonishing storyline, about German city where a child murderer is free, police is unable to catch him so other criminals join in the manhunt, simple story, suspenseful as you can see the movie from three different perspectives along the two-hour runtime, this is just perfect, there wasn't any scene or plot detail that they could've possibly added and nothing to cut out, breathtaking art of filmmaking, and one of the finest of German culture.

After being the director that defined silent era, Fritz Lang started sound era with even bigger burst, that he ended the silent era with.

Characters and actors were one of the finest that German cinema has ever offered, and Peter Lorre/the actor of child murderer should've won the Oscar only for that horrified look only.

Visual side of the movie was groundbreaking at that time, and cinematography is something which Germans were known for all over the world, capturing shadows and manipulating light like no other, another thing that makes M great.

One of the most powerful and breathtaking movies ever made, with groundbreaking art of writing, acting, directing and of course manipulating light and shadows, M if it isn't yet then you should definitely add it to your watchlist, there are many movies that you will regret watching, but M is not one of them.
