Christiane F.
Based on the True Story of a 13 year old girl in Berlin who becomes hooked on Drugs and ends up as a Prostitute.
It's inappropriate to say that I enjoyed this Movie given it's subject nature but it's a brilliantly executed shot with excellent direction and acting.
I think it helps being German with English Subtitles because I believe that it is able to get away with graphic scenes of drug use but thankfully the Prostitution Storyline is brief. David Bowie Concert Footage is used as is some of his Songs.
This is an uncomfortable watch but it's realism should be used as a Anti-Drugs Message.
I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Biopic of Whitney Houston's rise and issues off stage. Don't think that they sugarcoated anything but compared to recent Music Biopics, it didn't hit the mark for me. Stanly Tucci was rather good though.
Lyle Lyle Crocodile
Story of a Singing Crocodile and his exploits. For a Family Film, it's rather good, not as annoying as you might think.
