September 1, 2007 - The Good German DVD

Dani and Patty were waiting so much for this and finally they have it in their hands. Yes, it's The Good German DVD. This movie was supposed to be released on theaters here but they cancelled it. Unfortunately it wasn't very successful in the US, so probably they thought it was better to release it on DVD only. I don't mind and if you think well, it's not the type of movie everyone likes, you know? It's about war... black and white... filmed like the noir movies of the 40's... I think just a specific kind of people would really appreciate it.

The shootings were cool. Working with Steven Soderberg, George Clooney and Cate Blanchett was a privilege. Hmm... kicking George was a privilege too. As my sis would say "Spider-Man kicks Batman's ass!". Haha!

There was a complaint from Dani and Patty though. Spoiler warning: Patrick Tully, my character, dies in the movie. 20 minutes after the start. When I read the script I was like "Damn... they're not gonna like this..." but what could I do? But it was a no-drama death. They didn't show it, Tully simply showed up floating in a river. But I had to play dead when they took me out of there. The girls said I didn't really look like a dead person. No blood, no missing parts of my body... haha! Nice, so they didn't feel bad.

Even though they complained... they had a nice surprise too: Tully dates Lena (Cate's character) and since Tully is sort of a bad guy... and Lena is a hooker... they had a love scene. I won't give the details here, but it wasn't a real love scene. Just a love-making scene. Haha! Lena was there, on the bed, feeling nothing while Tully was the one who was having fun. And probably feeling like he's THE guy! Hahaha! But no matter what, Patty loved it, so did Dani. Sis said she can't watch it without feeling her cheeks blush. How cute! Also, Dani liked the fact the first thing I said on the movie was a German phrase. "Herzliches Willkommen nach Berlin!". Tully was just cordially welcoming George's character to the city. But with no good intentions of course.

Playing a bad guy after playing a good one like Peter Parker was a nice change. I hope there'll be more roles like that. I've been working on some stuff and they all promise good roles. Let's see what will happen!
