Gumboots Live (2001 TV Special)
10/10
Rhythm is it!
8 March 2006
Great fantastic show! I've seen it on television and have bought the DVD and CD not long after it. You can easily dive into it and it will take you away to South Afrika. It really moves you (in both meanings)! It's a little bit like an African musical. Not really, it's much better than a musical. Don't know how to describe. With every song they tell the true story of the mine workers in Johburg. They tell it with melodies, rhythms and words. Lot of beautiful guys and really great music. Can't sit still listening to them. I would really love to see them live!!! If you ever get the chance to see them, run for tickets! You'll never forget!

Maze (2000)
10/10
It's not ABOUT love! It IS love!
23 February 2006
I've seen a lot movies in my life, but I must say Maze is the first one where really everything is exactly like I want it to be. It's so perfect. The story, the actors, the camera, the settings, the music... It's just one big wonderful feeling. I even think it's not necessary to summarize the story here because it's not the story which makes that film so great. It's the thing between Lyle and Callie. My English is not good enough to describe it (I'm from Germany). It's how they treat each other, the way they are with each other, how they look at each other (they almost don't need to talk, you know everything when you look into their faces, especially Lyle's longing for Callie, it's acted so good, you fall in love with her, too) and all these little things between the lines. That's why I can watch it again and again without being bored, because it carries a feeling, a mood, a state of mind, don't know how to tell... Watching this movie is like listening to your favorite music or watching a painting which really caught you, or sitting in the dark and watching the stars, like the feeling, when you come home in the winter and drink a cup of tea and you can feel it running slowly down your throat into your stomach and balley. Art is, what touches your soul. Maze is art. And please, it is not a movie about Tourette! If one reduces it to that, he hasn't understood one little thing. It's just one part. It's about love and how difficult it can be to find it, and especially if you don't serve common sense. I know what I'm talking about, it's always the same, no matter why you stay outside of the crowed. Maze gives hope and courage. Don't know how someone could create such a good movie... Thanks a lot to Rob Morrow and crew! Want more! Now I think I've subbed enough... :-) I love it!
