The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans (2009)

In the huge flood of remakes (and sequels) of which most are totally unnecessary and dismissable there are a few among them that really work and are nearly as good as their original pendant or maybe even better.

Bad Lieutenant - Port of Call: New Orleans takes the premise of the controversial 1992 Classic but shifts its tone and mood resulting in a fresh, satirical and darkly funny new version.

United 93 (2006)

Just about a month ago it was ten years after the tragedy of 9/11.

All over the world people remembered the horrible events and the many victims who lost their lives on that sad day.
I remembered it as if it was yesterday. I was still at school and on my way home when I heard the news. It was on every channel. The images felt so unreal. But real they were.

And even more people could have died. It was four planes highjacked but only three of them reached their target.

The docudrama by Paul Greengrass shows the passengers of airplane "United 93" in their last moments on board.

Do The Right Thing (1989)

The first thing to tell you is that the right thing to do in this case is go and see this film.

The young, cutting-edge writer and director Spike Lee creates a work so witty and audacious, it's remarkable. His exceptional movie right from New York's melting pot combines the authentic feel of a documentary-like drama with brillant artistry and comedy.

Pi (1998)

3,141 ... that's all I remember. But there are people who can go on forever. An endless progression of random digits ... or a clearly structured code to express our nature and explain our world?
At least that is what Maximillian Cohen thinks; an obsessed and solitary mathematician and protagonist in the fabulous debut feature by today's cult director Darren Aronofsky, known for titles such as "Requiem for a dream", "The Wrestler" or last year's "Black Swan".
