My Thoughts:
After "Tangled" I am in a Disney princess movies mood. So I watched Little Mermaid again. I always enjoyed this movie. I especially enjoy the songs in this one. These are among the most memorable of the Disney songs.Rating:

Plot:
From SPIKE TV comes the acclaimed original series, "The Kill Point." Emmy® Award-winning actor John Lequizamo is "Mr. Wolf," an Iraq war veteran who leads his ex-platoon on a daring bank heist. But when the robbery goes tragically wrong, the onetime soldier has no choice but to take hostages. Going head-to-head with Mr. Wolf is "Horst Cali" (Donnie Wahlberg), a no-nonsense hostage negotiator who refuses to back down. What follows is a thrilling match of wits and guts between two men who both have something to prove--and everything to lose.

My Thoughts:
8 part, 6 hour made for TV mini-series produced for Spike TV about a botched bank robbery and the ensuing hostage situation.
I started this with some trepidation as I wondered how a simple bank heist could sustain 6 hours and while they could have shaved an hour off all in all I thought it was very good.
John Leguizamo was excellent, one of his best performances ever frankly. Donnie Wahlberg was top notch and in his element as well. Tobin Bell, playing a ruthless business man trying to get his hostage daughter out was solid too in the few episodes he appeared. It was refreshing to see him shed his Jigsaw moniker to take on a more meaningful role.
The biggest flaw I found was the inclusion of a rooftop sniper who babbled prophetic nonsense throughout the series which made no sense as in the end his character had no significant impact on the plot or it's conclusion.
Interesting twist near the end, and a good ending too even if it was a bit predictable.
Some 90 minute movies take me several days to finish watching based on time available and my level of interest. I knocked off this six hour mini-series in one day. That should tell you something about it.

Plot:Mein Leben & Ich
1.01 Der Einbruch (2001-09-14)
Writer: Paula Roth (Writer), Paula Roth (Created By)
Director: Ulli Baumann
Cast: Wolke Hegenbarth (Alex), Gottfried Vollmer (Hendrik), Frederik Hunschede (Sebastian), Maren Kroymann (Anke), Nora Binder (Claudia), Sebastian Kroehnert (Niko), Susanne Czepl (Frau Ehlert), Maximilian Cress (Florian), Ulrich Simontowitz (Biologielehrer), Ludger Burmann (Hausmeister)
I first saw this series when I caught an episode of the third season on TV. I was surprised to see a good German TV show. I had thought they had died out.
It is very loosely based on "My So-Called Life", but it's an half-hour comedy series instead of an hour long drama series.
The first episode introduces the characters very well and it was a joy to rewatch it again.
