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...

Prometheus (2012) Fullständig Film Streaming

Prometheus--like, in its telling, the human race itself--is a creation spliced from the DNA of superior forebears.. Erotic thrillers are a time-tested genre, but this effort, scripted by Wesley Strick, is neither erotic nor thrilling.. Prometheus is more interested in piling on big questions than in answering them. It's deep without being particularly smart, although the dazzling design and special effects keep you from noticing that basic flaw until at least an hour in.. There's no redeeming th...

Super 8 (2011) Titta Hela Filmen

The original is still creepy, but this Horror will have fans jumping in their seats and talking back to the screen.. The game is now afoot with Holmes' arch-nemesis, Professor James Moriarity -- and that makes a notable difference. This time, Holmes is up against an equal, and it's elementary indeed that muscle and firepower alone won't carry the day.. In theory, this should all be scary, but it just isn't. You giggle at the B-movie cheesiness of it.. Spielberg and Abrams are the unwitting targe...

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 ...

Predestination (2014) Online Streaming

Weirder and more contemplative than many of its time-traveling brethren, "Predestination" is a stylish head trip.. It's certainly imaginative, with high-minded ideas, but Hawke and Snook are what keep it grounded in truth.. You won't be able to take your eyes off Sarah Snook, an Aussie actress who makes whatever sex she's playing almost irrelevant. You watch her. You hear her. You believe.. Writer-directors Peter and Michael Spierig show affinities for serious literature as well as pulp fiction;...

The Loft (2014) Titta Hela Filmen

This new iteration proves such a dour hodgepodge of bad behavior, bald-faced misogyny and ping-ponging alliances, it's more alienating than alluring.. Erotic thrillers are a time-tested genre, but this effort, scripted by Wesley Strick, is neither erotic nor thrilling.. The Loft's boorish leads aren't sensible enough to be worth caring about, making the film's character-driven conclusion feel like a self-defeating cop-out.. Hollywood adds to its trend of awful throwbacks to trashy '90s movies wi...

Gone Baby Gone (2007) Ladda Ner Film

If Cruise's fantasy superhero garners as many staunch fans ... we may be witnessing the birth of a new franchise.. This movie is a turkey gone rancid.. A twisty, morally ambiguous and satisfying neo-noir.. A workmanlike action thriller, competent but never particularly thrilling.. Structurally, it's a bit murky, but in every other way Gone Baby Gone marks a triumph for the Affleck brothers.. Jack Reacher already feels as if it belongs to another era.. As the details mount, and the star does what...
