Welcome to "Cinema Herald". My aim is to bring movie reviews to a somewhat different level. I don't know about you guys but I'm sick and tired of Critics who dissect a movie to bits. Who cares about all that deep stuff, sometimes you just want to know if you'll be entertained or not. Is it worth me spending $10? Now don't get me wrong, sometimes when we watch a movie, it does require us to put on our thinking caps and I'll do that from time to time depending on the film I review but for the most part, I just want to know if I'm going to have a laugh or a cry or even crap my pants - in other words, will it take my mind off the fact that I'm broke and my rent is due for a few hours? Movies are a public service...they are to help us escape for a few hours and forget that we're overworked and under paid.

Coming Soon: John Rabe (Trailer), a must see!

April 30th 2010 02:54
Category: Drama
U.S. Release Date: May 21, 2010 (Limited Release)
Director: Florian Gallenberger
Cast: Ulrich Tukur (The White Ribbon) as John Rabe, Daniel Brühl (Fredrick Zoller of Inglourious Basterds), and Steve Buscemi

In the same vein as Oskar Schindler, John Rabe is the story of a German businessman best known for his efforts to stop the atrocities brought on by the Japanese army during the Nanking Occupation in World War II. He helped to establish the Nanjing Safety Zone which sheltered some 200,000 Chinese people from slaughter during the massacre.



One thing I love about Historical films is that it brings to light some of those special moments in history that would have otherwise been either forgotten or buried - never to be known by future generations. I've never heard of John Rabe and I've very much looking forward to seeing this movie.

The trailer looks amazing!



This film debuted at the Berlin Film Festival in 2009 and opened in Europe last summer. It went on to win the Outstanding Feature Film in the German Film Awards.
