Recommended The Movie: Despite trying constantly, poor Niko ( Generation War 's Tom Schilling) finds himself unable to procure a cup of coffee during the twenty-four hours or so that unfold in Jan Ole Gerster's debut feature, A Coffee In Berlin (retitled from the original: Oh Boy ).

Rent It The Film: Would the movie-going public even be enthusiastic about a live-action rendition of Sleeping Beauty without the perfectly-cast Angelina Jolie donning the horns, the slinky black dress, and the pearly-white grin of Maleficent? Perhaps, but given the lukewarm climate created by the reimagined tales of Snow White and Huntsman and Jack and the Giant Slayer , as well as Disney's …
