Crimson Peak (2015) Fullständig Film Streaming

The insanely lush Gothic romance and ghost story plays like a hitherto unrecorded collaboration between Edgar Allen Poe, Edith Wharton, the designers of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion and whoever directed all those Bonnie Tyler music videos in the 1980s.. Unsurprisingly for a Del Toro film, the production design is the real star of Crimson Peak.. Aflame with color and awash in symbolism, this undeniably ravishing yet ultimately disappointing haunted-house meller is all surface and no substance, si...

All Good Things (2010) Fullständig Film Streaming

Jarecki knows how to make scenes of boisterous family reunions and quiet moments between lovers engaging: He fares less well, though, when the story takes a dark turn.. The film is so busy working hard to convict one rather shady character, it never convinces us of its own reason to exist.. It does have its moments, and the talent involved is impressive.. . Gosling is given the barest blueprint of a life gone terribly wrong and the actor struggles to make something out of nothing, though he does...

Scoop (2006) Fullständig Strömning

Scoop, a half-baked amalgam of Manhattan Murder Mystery and Curse of the Jade Scorpion -- sadly demonstrates that Allen has lost much of his comic timing both as a director and an actor.. Scoop has something Match Point didn't, something that none of Allen's films have had to quite this degree in 10 years. It's really, really funny.. If only it were funny instead of just passably amusing, and if only Allen's movies hadn't declined to such a state of rote self-repetition that even passably amusin...

La migliore offerta (2013) Ladda Ner Hela

Part of the pleasure in watching The Best Offer is the elegant, unassumingly suspenseful way it unfolds.. The pic uses the polish of faux-sophistication and the cliched old-man/nubile-woman fantasy to distract viewers from dissecting the plot.. The result is an efficient film that never really catches fire, but satisfies along the way.. The film has several smart twists and surprises up its well-tailored sleeve.. It's a clever gimmick, cleverly wrought, offering further evidence that you can dre...

Darbareye Elly (2009) Online Streaming

There are no false notes anywhere in this cast of performers.. By the time the mystery is solved, it hardly seems to matter. What matters is the casual lack of honesty that almost everyone seems to depend on.. [A] narcotized fever dream .... This is clearly the work of a master in the making, an artist on the cusp of greatness. Farhadi may be fixated on fibbers, but there's almost no one working today who makes films so emotionally honest.. "About Elly" shows that the ethical dilemmas of ordinar...

Försoning (2007) Online Streaming

A B-grade horror picture seems to be a B-grade horror picture no matter how many studio bucks and digital effects you throw at it.. . It is an amazing story, filled with quiet moments of profundity and more surprises than you could imagine.. Christopher Hampton's screenplay respects the literary focus of Ian McEwan's novel without falling into the trap of becoming uncinematic.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch..

Winter's Tale (2014) Titta På Strömmande

How do you adapt "Winter's Tale," Mark Helprin's epic 1983 magical-realist novel, into a movie? If you're writer-director Akiva Goldsman, you take a meat tenderizer and hammer away until all that's left is romantic-fantasy mush.. Howard seems to count on audience goodwill toward Hanks carrying over to Langdon, filling in the hero's many blanks.. [T]he film does not conclude with Langdon being elected Pope himself, but, watching the spiraling inanities of the last 20 minutes, one might be forgive...

Inherent Vice (2014) Online Streaming

Although it's not as hermetic and impenetrable as The Master, Inherent Vice still comes off as a giant inside joke to anyone who hasn't read Pynchon's novel.. Some storylines conclude, some collide, others dissipate. But the film's main crime is this: It's boring.. Both times I saw "Inherent Vice," I experienced roughly the same contradictory responses: delight undercut by puzzlement, followed by a happier sort of puzzlement.. At first glance, Inherent Vice might seem to be a detective story. Lo...

White Settlers (2014) Titta På Strömmande

The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. I really like this movie. thank you. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. A movie...

Before I Go to Sleep (2014) Ladda Ner Film

"Before I Go to Sleep" is a bad dream. It's a wobbly psychological thriller with only a trace of thrills.. This one is nowhere near as original -- it's a flawed remake of a fine first feature from Norway -- but Insomnia still stands on its own as a thriller with brains and scenic beauty.. It's just another forgettable genre film. If you don't figure it out within half an hour, you probably haven't been to a movie since 1999.. Were it not for the participation of two A-list actors, Nicole Kidman ...

Broken Flowers (2005) Fullständig Film Streaming

More with these sequels is always less. The proportions haven't been right since 2002.. An action franchise in motion tends to stay in motion, long after logic or box office should bring it to a screeching halt.. Broken Flowers is a road movie, and like the best road movies, it doesn't take a straight path.. It's many things: a terrific performance piece for a handful of good actors, an engaging metaphor and a so-so piece of storytelling.. The movie doesn't come to a definitive point or make an ...

Tomorrowland (2015) Ladda Ner Hela

[It's] certainly unequaled in its field for the beauty of its camerawork, sets, costumes and effects. But it's also conventionally plotted and not surprising or scary at all.. For all of its vaulting ambition, its sumptuous eye-feasts and its leapings back and forth in space and time, "Tomorrowland" never comes together as coherent drama in the here and now.. An aggressively optimistic script admonishes the lazy and irresolute and urges humanity to end war and save the environment; the proselyti...

The Captive (2014) Titta På Strömmande

It's a pretty film full of magic and miracles - a flying horse, a child saved, a man made immortal by love, a mortal character who by my count is at least 104 years old but still working as a newspaper editor - but, alas, it just doesn't gel.. If only there was less mush and more meat in this stew.. Clumsy and inert, a lumbering white elephant rather than the flying white horse that is the novel's magical mascot.. At one point Hanks can be glimpsed gasping for air, mid-endless-sentence. Has ther...

Holes (2003) Spela Strömmande

A dense yarn with a range of humor, imagination and emotions as wide as the desert floor upon which it is set.. One can't help but feel thankful that the movie doesn't always go the expected route, that the characters have a little more depth to them than average, and that the complexity, which is the movie's basic weakness, is also its fundamental virtue.. Fills a hole in the genre by not treating kids with kid gloves.. . Older kids, fans of the book and parents who remember the fun of reading ...

Minority Report (2002) Spela Strömmande

A ludicrous, borderline-nonsensical supernatural concoction with a slightly redeeming sense of its own silliness.. It desperately gathers cliches like a teen fantasy Frankenstein that doesn't realize its secret identity: parody.. Though it has flashes of promise, Bones traces the footsteps of its fantasy film predecessors too closely to blaze anything close to an original narrative.. Much of Minority Report is inspired, but the movie is also packed with oddball, overdone acting, the occasional c...

Solaris (2002) Titta Hela Filmen

Madsen barely emotes during the ensuing flood of hokey scare tactics.. Despite well-designed scare shots, the laborious telling of this elaborate ghost story ultimately fizzles under the weight of too much effort.. If you give it half a chance, it will bore into your subconscious, mess with your mind and leave you mumbling, 'Hmm, what if --'. . This cold, occasionally dull movie practically defies you to embrace it.. Although it's meant to be restrained and free of emotional hysteria, the result...

Deliver Us from Evil (2014) Titta Hela Filmen

Because the plot spins out in such a smooth fashion and the acting is so darned good, we're distracted from the film's flaws.. Underneath its hocus-pocus is a compelling story, very well told.. Just another dumb riff on The Exorcist .... "Deliver Us From Evil'' expertly serves shivers, buckets of gore - and pretty much every cliche of the genre.. What (director Neil) Burger and his colleagues have done is to entrance us with a richly acted, beautifully produced story.. This terrific romantic thr...

The Gift (2015) Spela Film

More than anything, Edgerton's script and direction demonstrate a keen understanding of tension and what puts an audience on edge.. A dark and ultimately quite nasty psychological thriller from actor/writer/debut director Joel Edgerton, who manages to yank the carpet out from under his audience a couple of times.. Edgerton's touch as a director and writer is fluid - he eerily holds our attention, like Hitchcock holds a door for Tippi Hedren.. Lukewarm as a romance, but the charming young cast he...

The Forbidden Room (2015) Ladda Ner Hela

[A] narcotized fever dream .... At a time when everyone is talking about the death of the movies, Guy Maddin proves that we can always bring them back to life.. Is "The Forbidden Room" an infantile Freudian joke? Yes, it's that and a lot more.. Guy Maddin's latest act of cinematic mayhem isn't easy to parse, but narrative coddling has never been his intent.. For those attuned to Maddin's goofy sense of humor, it's easily the funniest movie he's ever made -- a series of several dozen comic shorts...
