[An] evocative, gorgeous, occasionally maddening film.. Mr. Cusack works himself into a lather trying to reconcile the contradictory parts of an incoherent character. In, I am sorry to say, an incoherent movie.. The pervasive gore overpowers the few clumsy attempts at wit here.... The dirty jokes provide the funniest moments in this oddly sweet comedy about jokester highway patrolmen.. There's simply not enough of the rude passion that must have drawn Woodley to work with Araki in the first plac...
Odd Thomas (2013) Titta På Strömmande
Odd Thomas is an engagingly lightweight and occasionally visually inventive film that should appeal to Koontz fans and anyone else open to his whimsical approach to horror.. A protective layer of irony ensures that the movie's commingling of the mundane and the bizarre never registers as camp.. Odd Thomas has high-speed chases, explosions, narrow escapes and masses of special effects-none special enough, I'm afraid, to save it from mediocrity.. At once comic, tragic and goofily romantic, and res...
The Uninvited (2009) Fullständig Strömning
Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. The Uninvited is a mess of styles and stolen ideas, including a plot twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan roll his eyes and dialogue straight from a CW scene generator.. Experienced horror fans will probably stay one step ahead of the game, but it's s...
Righteous Kill (2008) Titta Hela Filmen
Say it ain't so, Bobby and Al.. There's nothing righteous to be found here.. In the end, neither actor can muster the energy to rise above the subpar material.. The power couple's onscreen chemistry, which should be the film's strongest calling card, is merely adequate, a major disappointment for those expecting a tug o' war between screen titans.. Pacino has a few funny lines, as does Leguizamo, but not nearly enough to save the film from collapsing under the weight of its own self-righteous te...
Gosford Park (2001) Spela Strömmande
Disappointing is too soft a choice of words.. Altman's unexpected venture into Agatha Christie territory works a treat.. A succulent and devious drawing-room mystery that, in its panoramic way, takes a puckish pleasure in scrambling and reshuffling the worlds of upstairs and downstairs.. Every detail rings true; every performance, even the briefest, is a gem.. So craftily made that it can't help pleasing.. A sweet tune, airy but not quite gay, and it carries a sardonic edge.. All in all, Gosford...
Rush Hour 2 (2001) Titta Hela Filmen
It is perhaps Farhadi's richest, most complex and ambitious.. Better than its predecessor, and that goes for everything from the fight scenes to Chan's grasp of English.. For fans of the still-youthful franchise, this movie's going to hit the spot.. [A] suspenseful domestic intrigue deeply rooted in traditional Iranian mores and social codes.. 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.. The film seems content to...
Da Vinci-koden (2006) Spela Strömmande
Ron Howard doesn't so much solve The Da Vinci Code as preserve it under glass. It's a bloodless best-seller adaptation, competent but uninspiring, rather like the vast bulk of Howard's long filmography.. As a film derived from a book, The Da Vinci Code isn't a fiasco on the order of The Bonfire of the Vanities nor is it a triumph a la The Lord of the Rings. Instead, it's an acceptable but uninspired simulacrum.. Like a two-bit philosopher working the wrong side of the stone, Howard has managed t...
