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...

Harry Potter och Dödsrelikerna: Del I (2010) Spela Film

An awkward mating of action-fantasy and a self-reflective indie movie.. There's plenty of humor, plenty of magic and even a bit of romantic stress, although there's also quite a bit of mulling and standing about.. The trouble with Harry, as becomes clear from this seventh and penultimate installment, is not that we have lost the plot -- the film is as tangled and as corkscrewed as Bonham Carter's hair -- but that we are in danger of losing everything else.. Even though it ends in the middle, Dea...

The Cokeville Miracle (2015) Spela Film

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.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. 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.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordin...

Nancy Drew (2007) Spela Strömmande

None of the dialogue is particularly pointed, and the supposed Hollywood mean teens seem rather tame. (One of their big pranks involves stealing Nancy's cupcake.). . Fleming's movie doesn't fuss much with originality or storytelling logic but it does play nice from beginning to end, its positive messages bundled up with self-aware humor and empowered feminine pep.. Everybody's so good in this!. Altman is one of the few contemporary directors who consistently showcases excellent women's roles, an...

Mortdecai (2015) Ladda Ner Hela

Deathly Hallows I actually manages to be involving and kind of artful about the boredom and loneliness of heroism.. Most viewers, especially the younger ones, will reap its joys.. Represents a lost opportunity to give children, not to mention adults, a movie experience that would widen their eyes as the justly beloved Rowling books did.. Depp's strenuously unfunny performance turns a frivolous caper comedy into a grim death march to the closing credits.. It's hard to escape the suspicion that th...

Hugo Cabret (2011) Ladda Ner Film

If ever the movie gods were to smile on an adaptation, it would be Scorsese's take on Selznick's bestselling book, a valentine to the cinematic artists whose work the filmmaker has toiled so tirelessly to champion and preserve.. Scorsese's film is a richly illustrated lesson in cinema history and the best argument for 3-D since James Cameron's Avatar.. Hugo is a mixed bag but one well worth rummaging through.. As befitting both its fetishistically detailed source material and the era in which it...

Monster House (2006) Titta Hela Filmen

n the pantheon of CGI films, it's one of the most adult-orientated animations yet. I don't need to tell you that the kids in the screening were enamoured from start to finish.. The storytelling skill in Monster House isn't always up to its visuals. But as a roller-coaster summer entertainment, it's a heck of a lot more fun than Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, not to mention a full hour shorter.. The hybrid computer animation technique used by Robert Zemeckis in Polar Express finds bo...

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) Fullständig Strömning

One of the most magical viewing experiences of the decade so far.. . A surprisingly interesting picture.. Shot through with a bold, extravagant generosity of spirit, this journey behind the literal and figurative looking glass marks a gratifying return to form for Gilliam, whose recent films haven't quite lived up to his capacities.. Bursting with earned emotion, Hugo is a mechanism that comes to life at the turn of a key in the shape of a heart.. Hugo is pure movie magic.. "Non-Stop" may be a t...

Black Death (2010) Spela Strömmande

Every detail rings true; every performance, even the briefest, is a gem.. Altman's unexpected venture into Agatha Christie territory works a treat.. This is an exemplary exercise in Anglophilia.. The film's and Nancy's nonjudgmental tone gives it a distinctly modern feel.. I doubt if any female over the age of twelve would get much pleasure from the film.. A scintillating comedy-drama and one of [Altman's] most richly moving and entertaining pictures.. In many ways, it's steadfastly adult, a pic...

Harry Potter och Fenixorden (2007) Titta På Strömmande

This is a stylish and smart thriller.. That's a familiar setup, but Barrett and Wingard take it in one unexpected direction after another, displaying obvious pleasure in their mad dash to keep topping themselves.. This ghost of a movie star is never more at home than when walking among the tombstones.. Overplotted and underexplained .... The Guest transcends the genre with characters who could have come out of a more serious movie. When they're in peril, we actually care.. Yes, it's all just a r...

Non-Stop (2014) Titta På Strömmande

"Non-Stop" doesn't make any sense, but that's expected, uninteresting and incidental to the pleasures of a slow-season Liam Neeson release as diverting as this one.. It might be curtains for celluloid, but Scorsese, a boyish 69, clearly isn't leaving the stage any time soon. He directs every film with the passion of his first. And it shows.. Scorsese transforms this innocent tale into an ardent love letter to the cinema and a moving plea for film preservation.. Scorsese's film is a richly illust...

Harry Potter och Hemligheternas kammare (2002) Ladda Ner Film

In all fairness, I must report that the children of varying ages in my audience never coughed, fidgeted or romped up and down the aisles for bathroom breaks.. Every two minutes the action whooshes sideways to someone somewhere else.. Radcliffe, 3 inches taller and an octave lower than last year, is growing comfortably into his character, as is Watson, the fetching and confident Hermione.. Alas, as directed by the returning David Yates, these big chase sequences are the usual compendium of ear-sp...

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 ...

The Haunted Mansion - Spökhuset (2003) Fullständig Strömning

[I]t's dreadful.. It's perfectly palatable family fare for a long weekend when it's hard to find movies at the neighborhood 'plex that will please everyone.. The movie's horror angle also reminds us of Vampire in Brooklyn, the last in a string of Murphy flops before The Nutty Professor saved his screen career in 1996. With this listless foray, Eddie is twice bitten.. Contempo Hollywood may be awash in brilliant technicians and craftspeople but it also needs good storytellers, who aren't to be fo...

Brick (2005) Ladda Ner Film

Johnson isn't the first director to subvert suburbia, but he's probably the first to have done such a fine job of it on his first outing.. Yet in being so unlike the typical high school flick, it captures anew the alienation, the ridiculously earnest intensity of feeling, the insularity of experience that are part and parcel of those blunder years.. Monster House, a frankly horrific and full-tilt hilarious family yarn about a man-snacking mansion. It's engineered to scare your pants off, split y...

State of Play (2009) Fullständig Film Streaming

The chance to explore the swiftly changing culture of Web-age journalism is one of several intriguing possibilities that State of Play squanders.. State of Play does get a little creaky in its last third -- at that point it needs to be more streamlined, more concise. But Macdonald and the screenwriters manage to weave their ideas through a sturdy-enough plot, so we never feel we're being preached to. For a handy compare-and-contrast, check out the small- and big-screen versions of State of Play....

Harry Potter och Halvblodsprinsen (2009) Spela Film

[Cruise] oversees some pretty impressive stuff here, from the drones that ping-pong around in the air to the bubbleship that Jack uses to go to and fro to that awesome house with its panoramic views.. Glossy, derivative, ambitious and fatally underpowered.. All in all, despite the verve that drives the grander set pieces, it's hard to avoid the sensation of a film toiling overtime to convince itself of its own solemnity.. Although it looks spectacular and boasts some pungent ideas, the surprise-...

Harry Potter och Fången från Azkaban (2004) Titta Hela Filmen

Cuaron brought to the Potter franchise a quality curiously missing from the two previous films: magic.. For the first time, the non-converted may actually see what all the fuss is about.. Just like the books that the films are based on, this franchise gets better with each installment.. This is a luminous movie -- luminous, imaginative and affecting. For Harry Potter, at least, the third time is the charm.. A marvelous adventure.. The third installment in the Harry Potter series, is everything t...

Whimsical, harrowing, heartwarming and, all props to Harry Potter, quite magical.. . Once the characters go underground, things start happening. Not scary things, mind you, but things.. Come for the poster, stay for the end credits.. 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..

Saw 3D (2010) Ladda Ner Hela

While the film has a reasonably engaging cast and some decent scares, the script feels like an uneasy blend of The Blair Witch Project and Tomb Raider.. Be aware: if you see the film in a theater equipped with RealD 3D and Dolby sound, you'll come away with a pretty good idea of what it would feel like to have flying body parts hit you in the face.. Fills a hole in the genre by not treating kids with kid gloves.. One can't help but feel thankful that the movie doesn't always go the expected rout...
