Arkiv X - I Want to Believe (2008) Spela Strömmande

The X-Files: I Want to Believe is atmospheric and moves briskly, but it's basically TV writ large.. . Most important, we get to see two gifted actors passionately revisit the roles that may forever define them.. In the end it's all about these very full and rewarding lead characters.. The movie gets into some pretty freaky territory in the third act, but for this casual fan of the series, it's a strong effort featuring some great characters.. Logic is mocked, plot strands capriciously abandoned....

Innocence (2014) Titta Hela Filmen

The Stepfather is that rarity, an effective remake of a screen classic that can stand alone on its own considerable merits.. A movie of such snowballing stupidity that it's a wonder the actors could keep straight faces while shooting it (outtakes, please!).. Sadly, the movie is weakly paced and sinister only when Pamela coos oh-so-sympathetically in people's ears.. If this nonsense is the stuff of nightmares for most modern teenage girls, who seem genetically predisposed to roll their eyes at an...

Mr. Brooks (2007) Titta Hela Filmen

Quite a few plot lines and character quandaries remain unresolved. And yet the movie makes sense as it stands. After all, one can never know what makes a psychopath tick.. Here's what I can say for sure about the humanoid attackers in the new version of The Crazies: They're not very interesting.. Even on the level of killer-virus-gone-wild gore-fest, The Crazies as rejiggered by Eisner is a dud.. The blood is certainly convincing these days, but it generally flows only in the safest and most ino...

The Order (2003) Online Streaming

[Helgeland] beats up on the Catholic Church with the same brainless zeal and pointless histrionics as such Grade F noisemakers as Lost Souls and Stigmata.. The final illuminations ... are a poor return on nearly two hours of ear-buckling, eye-stabbing incoherence.. A marvel of verite nightmare atmosphere.. Yet another lesson to Hollywood that a fright film need not be awash in blood and elaborate special effects.. . All the fine cinematography can't hide the sad fact that the second half of the ...

Terror På Elm Street (2010) Titta Hela Filmen

Haley's a fine actor, but he was far scarier in the suburban drama Little Children. And Englund's unpredictable presence is definitely missed.. The result of the new Nightmare is, at best, a kind of stand-off between predictability and competent execution.. That the film exists at all is a more cogent commentary on the nation's collective trauma than any of the direct statements or potential metaphors contained within.. Like a cover band with more stagecraft than talent, A Nightmare on Elm Stree...

The Bourne Legacy (2012) Spela Strömmande

Sherlock Holmes may have never really walked the earth, but Mr. Holmes humanizes him to such a degree, you walk out of the theater practically convinced you've just watched a biopic.. "The Bourne Legacy" makes the most of its inheritance and sets the stage for a long, rich genealogy to come.. An elegant puzzler that presents the sage of Baker Street dealing with the one thing he's never had to contend with before: his own emotions.. It's a gentle examining of life near its end. And with McKellen...
