Love Actually (2003) Spille Film

There's enough that's right about Love to compensate for what's wrong with it.. There are no fewer than nine interlocking and overlapping love stories in Richard Curtis' deadly epic sprawl of a romantic comedy, Love Actually. By the end of the movie, that's nine too many.. [Curtis] is nothing if not capable of creating merry, madcap romantic comedy, and he punctuates the purposely hackneyed developments and labyrinthian structure with sly wit and sprightly pacing.. It's too busy with too many st...

Ten Thousand Saints (2015) Spille Streaming

It doesn't have a genuine moment. But even period authenticity would not compensate for cardboard characters and a contrived narrative.. The film shows all the earmarks of a story too heavily compressed; the complications among the entwined families pile up after a while, and the period milieu feels arbitrary.. The cast all do well with banal material that's beneath them, especially Emily Watson, as Eliza's mom, and Hawke, who's everyone's dope-smoking, curfew-less fantasy friend-Dad.. Smart, se...

Inherent Vice (2014) Se Streaming

Into the Wild takes your heart and shakes it, offering inspiration, exasperation and blunt realization in a true story of one young man's dream and nightmare.. A road movie with a lofty message that too frequently gets lost in its own thematic barrens. Whereas Krakauer's disturbing book sticks with you, Penn's movie, wrapped in the balloon of its fanciful rhetoric, just floats off.. At first glance, Inherent Vice might seem to be a detective story. Look a little closer, however, and it becomes c...

Joy (2015) Fuld Film Streaming

A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action 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.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself la...

Catch Me If You Can (2002) Spille Streaming

Perhaps, like me, you find the oeuvre of British writer-director Richard Curtis a bit -- how shall I put it -- twee?. The film takes few of the liberties you'd expect from its genre, and it conforms to an internal logic throughout.. A pleasant, gentle comedy about learning to love life; about enjoying every moment, even if you have to play it over twice to get it right.. For all its glutinous cuteness, damn if "About Time" doesn't sneak up and sock you in the tear ducts. I tried not to fall for ...

The Departed (2006) Spille Film

[A] glorious mess of a movie.. A Walk in the Woods is pleasant but inconsequential, a passing diversion rather than a worthy cinematic destination.. The two actors carp and quip well together, enough to carry us through a plot with few surprises.. After all these years, iconic former golden boys Robert Redford and Nick Nolte share the big screen -- and they're stuck in a middling sitcom.. The lax, lame A Walk in the Woods is a road movie without a road, a journey of self-discovery without discov...

Bronson (2008) Fuld Streaming

. "Nuffin' wonky about my upbringing," Bronson says, early on. Nothing wonky about Hardy's performance, either.. The tone is surreal, at once visceral and clinical, making Bronson an unsettling experience: savage, disturbing, and yet somehow fascinating.. An enchanting tale from Tim Burton that weaves together reality and myth so touchingly it hardly matters which is which.. This is psychotic behavior as performance art, and Hardy makes it irresistible.. Burton's fabled imagination runs wild wit...

3 Idiots (2009) Spille Film

Despite its flaws, 3 Idiots conveys a powerful message about how valuable your friends can be when they push you toward reaching your own highest potential.. A superstar for more than two decades, Aamir Khan has never been more popular than he is today, in his mid-40s.. 3 Idiots takes a while to lay out its game plan but pays off emotionally in its second half.. This quirky well-acted film proves, as the title track says, that generally 'all is well' with commercial Hindi cinema.. There's an una...
