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...

Without a Paddle (2004) Fullständig Film Streaming

Canet has a good feeling for lowlife atmosphere and he works up a few fine Hitchcockian twirls.. These classy people are put to the trashiest ends, and, for the most part, it's a pleasure to see them rooting around in the garbage.. Tell No One is a French action thriller and murder mystery that doesn't cheat.. The story becomes so convoluted and contrived (pursued by police, Alex just happens to run into a patient's father, who owes the doctor a big favor) that much of the tension dissipates.. A...

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...

The Pink Panther (2006) Ladda Ner Film

Martin (who also co-wrote the screenplay) is so uninspired and dull in this witless movie, he almost -- almost -- makes you long for Adam Sandler.. Fernando Meirelles's excellent adaptation of the novel by John le Carré is likely to linger in your mind and may even trouble your conscience.. The Skeleton Key is strictly summer schlock.. The Pink Panther, while hardly the disaster it might have been, renders the love as labored as the pronunciation.. Viewers who like real-world issues interwo...

The Overnight (2015) Ladda Ner Film

While size may not matter (the movie runs a short 79 minutes), it's not even relevant to something this flaccid.. Attitudes are adjusted along with clothing, with all four main actors happily delivering more than Brice's uneven script and sitcomish directing asks of them.. The film's brevity makes it easily digestible but there's an underlying sense of frustration - dissatisfaction that the characters aren't fleshed out better and the humor isn't more organic.. The result is a bit twisty, largel...

Scooby-Doo (2002) Ladda Ner Film

As this movie knows what it is, Scooby-Doo's a relatively painless 85 minutes.. Although Scooby-Doo falls far short of becoming the Blazing Saddles of Generations X, Y and Z, it is hard to resist in its moronic charms.. Lillard gives the flick its manic energy, and the rest of the gang holds its own.. It's like an amalgam of Ghostbusters, Alien and the Pokemon movies -- minus all the good parts.. The source material here is flimsy to begin with, and neither Gunn nor Gosnell seems to know how to ...

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...

Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!.

Lost River (2014) Ladda Ner Hela

At heart, "Lost River" is a midnight movie for those ready to find it and go with the flow.. . . Mulholland Drive makes movies feel alive again.. Much funnier than it has any right to be, and filled with just enough inside jokes to please longtime fans of the cartoon franchise.. It's like an amalgam of Ghostbusters, Alien and the Pokemon movies -- minus all the good parts.. Lynch needs to renew himself with an influx of the deep feeling he has for people, for outcasts, and lay off the cretins an...

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...

Scream 4 (2011) Ladda Ner Hela

The filmmakers' subtext - at least in the movie's first quarter - seems to acknowledge that you can't top the original. And they didn't.. Relying on obvious cliches doesn't seem ironic anymore, just easy. And though there are several genuine jolts, poor pacing leaves too much time between the silliness and scares.. Scream 4 is a total hoot. Assuming you can find the humor in knife stabbings.. "Scream 4" is a strange concoction, clever and self-knowing in the extreme and yet operating in primal w...

Veronica Mars (2014) Fullständig Strömning

Armed with a decent budget, director James Wan and co-screenwriter Leigh Wannell fashion at least a dozen sequences that are spooky even while they defy logic.. Saw creators Leigh Whannell and James Wan know scary: all that stuff that heebie-jeebied you when you were a kid. (Or as Entertainment Weekly would say: Dead Silence is awash with atavistic horror tropes.). In the center, of course, is Bell, still right on target with the wisecracks and attitude that made "Mars" work.. Like The Thing its...

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...

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...

Now You See Me (2013) Spela Film

Although Sinister 2 continues the story begun in Scott Derrickson's creepily effective Sinister, it feels more like an unnecessary retread than an organic extension of the original.. "Inherent Vice" is an aggressively weird movie, which you should take not as a warning but as a compliment and an invitation to see it, to let its stoner vibes wash all over you.. Not a moment of Sinister 2 is convincing or frightening, mostly due to the uber-stilted child acting and the flat, overlit visual palette...

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) Ladda Ner Hela

If you've seen your share of action flicks (who hasn't?) you should have no trouble chuckling. And nodding and winking.. A more-than-serviceable dark comedy.. Kiss Kiss may be impossibly pleased with itself, but with good reason.. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is the first movie since 1994's Pulp Fiction not just to understand movie violence as a pop cultural form ... but to play it like a virtuoso violinist.. Kiss Kiss is such a delightful bombardment, we barely notice that Black's convoluted, serpentin...

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 ...

Source Code (2011) Fullständig Strömning

At times, Ritchie and company try so hard to make sure this isn't your father's Sherlock Holmes that it comes across as, well, cartoonish.. . The "Scream 4" (I refuse to write it the other way anymore) drinking game: Take a slug every time someone on-screen remarks how meta it all is.. This is quite effective as horror filmmaking and more pungent than anything [Craven's] done in a while.. The movie is a formally disciplined piece of work, a triumph of movie syntax, made with a sense of rhythm an...
