The Proposal (Selbst ist die Braut) at Metropol.

www.cinema.com : "When high-powered book editor Margaret (SANDRA BULLOCK) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (RYAN REYNOLDS), who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (MARY STEENBURGEN, CRAIG T. NELSON, BETTY WHITE) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences."

www.kino.de : "Der Endzwanziger Mohsen wohnt bei seinen aus dem Iran stammenden Eltern in Köln, wo er in der Fleischerei des Vaters Schafe schlachten soll. Allerdings steht Mohsen der Sinn nach anderen Dingen. Als er den erkrankten Vater dennoch vertritt, lässt er sich sogleich übers Ohr hauen und investiert alles Geld in eine polnische Schafherde, die er nun selbst abholen muss. Durch einen Unfall strandet er mitten in der ostdeutschen Provinz in einem nach der Wende verödeten Dorf - und findet in Ana die Liebe seines Lebens."

Public enemies.

www.kino.de : "In the action-thriller Public Enemies, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Academy Award?winner Marion Cotillard in the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger (Depp)—the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public.

No one could stop Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone—from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Cotillard) to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression."

Zerrissene Umarmungen.

www.kino.de : "Harry Caine ist ein erblindeter Drehbuchautor, der bis zu dem Unfall, der ihm das Augenlicht raubte, unter seinem Namen, Mateo Blanco, Filme drehte. Nach dem Tod seines einstigen Produzenten Martel nimmt dessen Sohn Ray X Kontakt mit Harry auf und will ein Drehbuch von ihm, das das Andenken des verabscheuten Vaters in den Schmutz ziehen soll. Caine erinnert sich zurück an das Jahr, als er für Martel den Film "Mädchen und Koffer" drehte und eine Affäre mit seiner Hauptdarstellerin Lena begann. Der Beginn einer komplizierten Tragödie, denn Lena war mit Martel liiert. Und der ist blind vor Eifersucht."
