Berlin, 1989. Sascha is a young East German border guard and Franzi is a lively young West German woman who's just moved into a flat next to Sascha's watchtower at the Berlin Wall.

This is the time of mass protests and East Germans taking refuge in the West German embassy in Prague after all.

My Thoughts:
After watching the complete series of "Berlin, Berlin", I had the urge to revisit this movie which stars Felicitas Woll, the star of that series. The last time I saw this movie I didn't know this actress, so I was curious now to see her here again.I enjoyed this movie. It is a nice west-east romance. It is some culture clash between the both sides.

My Thoughts:
I don't want to say this was a bad movie but it was very confusing. I sort of got the point at the end but the movie was all over the place and hard to follow at times. The writer of this film must have been a philosopher as all the key characters were spouting metaphors and quoting proverbs throughout. Weird
J.K. Simmons (is there a movie this guy hasn't been in?!) was solid and has always been a favorite. Cuba Gooding Jr. was good too... I just find it a shame that this seems to be the type of movie he has been relegated to now. That would be those straight to video, second tier action flicks that are sometimes good but mostly bad.
If you watch this, pay close attention or you will be hopelessly lost.

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom
 | Highlander: The Series: Season One (1992/Canada) IMDb | Wikipedia
|
Plot:
"I am Duncan MacLeod, born 400 years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal, and I am not alone. For centuries we have waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and the fall of a head will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one."
Highlander
1.01 The Gathering
Writer: Dan Gordon (Writer)
Director: Thomas J. Wright
Cast: Adrian Paul (Duncan MacLeod), Alexandra Vandernoot (Tessa), Stan Kirsch (Richie), Christopher Lambert (Connor MacLeod), Richard Moll (Slan Quince), Amy Pietz (Reporter), Wendell Wright (Sgt. Powell)
Even though this series is far from perfect, I enjoyed watching it. I like it much more than the movies (even the good one). I think Adrian Paul is the better Highlander. It helps, that he is trained in sword-fighting.
The pilot did a good job introducing the characters and the premise. And it is nice to see Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod passing the torch.
