Anderson (2014)
Sascha Anderson, born 1953, was the charismatic pop star of East Berlin’s oppositional literary scene in Prenzlauer Berg in the 1980s, a close acquaintance of famous GDR intellectuals such as Christa Wolf and Heiner Müller - and he was a zealous informer working for the Stasi, snitching on friends and colleagues.
Intense and fascinating investigation of betrayal; the figure of Sascha Anderson remains enigmatic, even in the present-day interviews.

The Baker (2007)
A hit man has second thoughts about his career and seeks refuge from his boss by finding work as a baker in a rural Welsh village.
OK British black comedy with a good plot and competent cast, but not as hilarious as one would expect.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)
A doctor, scientist, organist, and biblical scholar, Dr. Anton Phibes,
seeks revenge on the nine doctors he considers responsible for his
wife's death
Quantum Apocalypse (2010)
A group of talented but rebellious 'rock-star scientists' find themselves in a race against time to save Earth when a comet makes an unexpected turn towards our blue planet where all life may cease to exist within days if our small town heroes fail to find a solution.
Another comet-threat doomsday movie which manages to lower the bar in all departments; so ridiculous, it is not even funny.
Kyaputen Hârokku (2013)
Determined to keep the malevolent Gaia Coalition from ruling the universe, one man boldly attacks enemy spaceships.
Anime space opera based on an seemingly epic manga has a lot of visual splendor, but the plot is overladen with the original comic's mythology making it difficult to follow.
