The hills are alive...

Now this is quite off the beaten path. We've heard of french film fest, chinese film fest, Oktoberfest, manifest... But German Film Fest? Now that's something.

The Cathay Cineplex and Goethe-Institut in Singapore are organising the 11th German Film Fest from 1 Nov to 11 Nov.

the Fad people recommend from the wide selection, the following few worth paying your 10 bucks for:

1. Cutting Edge (Die Aufschneider): If you like hospital drama (Grey's Anatomy, E.R., Scrubs) you would like this comedy about two hospitals competing with each other, trying to prevent being closed down.

2. Emma’s Bliss (Emmas Glück): A love story/drama will never be complete without someone dying, some intrigue and adventures. Emma's Bliss seems to have all these ingredients. Definitely a must-watch for all romantics out there.

3. Heavyweights (Schwere Jungs): For the sports buffs who love a good laugh. Bears the shadow of The Mighty Ducks starring Emilio Estevez. (We are assuming you have a childhood here since The Mighty Ducks is quite an old movie.)

4. Hotel Very Welcome: German version of The Beach (which is an amazing film by the way, not only because Leo DiCap is in it) involving travel in Asia. Perhaps something that might strike a chord with all of us?

5. Where is Fred? (Wo ist Fred?): the Fad people love saving the best for the last. "Where is Fred?" wins this because upon reading the summary of the storyline, we burst out laughing!

Have a good week ahead and see you at Cathay!
