The Age of Adaline (2015) Online Streaming

One of the finest achievements of the 2014 film year.. 145 minutes of riveting drama and surprises.. The film's stabs at social commentary -- the constant barrage of tabloid TV coverage -- are crushingly obvious.. This is one of those movies that have you wondering: Long before the actors signed up and the locations were chosen and the sets were built and the filming began, how did someone not say, "Um, we have a big problem with this story"?. The film is as tender and endearing as a lamb, a lam...

The Dark Knight (2008) Fuld Streaming

An explosively provocative [film]. ... Exhilaratingly straightforward action sequences matched by moral complexity of a sort not usually associated with comic-book movie franchises.. Christopher Nolan's second Batman adventure is the rare blockbuster that left me engaged and thoughtful instead of bored and bummed out.. Where Batman Begins was largely about the considerable personal toll exacted by its hero's decision to fight back against the forces of evil while adhering to a code of honor, The...

Drive (2011) Download Fuld

Sure, it's shallow, but it's also slickly compelling, beautifully crafted and so damn shiny.. For stone-cold, retro action fans who are tired of all these over-edited, underachieving thrillers - well, here's one car chase movie that isn't running on empty.. Drive is pedal-to-the-metal stuff. Don't get behind the wheel unless you can take the rush.. In reworking genres without quoting shamelessly, Refn proves himself his own man and a guy quite capable of taking us places we didn't even know we w...

The Imitation Game (2014) Download Fuld

It would be hard to foul up the story of Alan Turing, and thankfully The Imitation Game doesn't.. "The Imitation Game" is both an education and a pleasure - and another chance to revel in what Cumberbatch can convey in eloquent silence.. Turing may finally be getting what he deserves as the straightforward and well-acted The Imitation Game, featuring a strong performance from Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing.. Cumberbatch's finely calibrated performance helps bring to life one of history's lesser-...

The Phantom of the Opera (2004) Se Streaming

With the darkest of humour, it graphically illustrates what happens when the stress of 21st century living causes regular citizens to "go postal.". Argentina's nominee for the foreign-film Oscar is a farce about revenge that is feral, ferocious and gut-bustingly funny. You'll laugh till it hurts.. . Szifron gives us a window onto other people's worst impulses rather than a mirror reflecting our own; the laughs come fast and full, and they come a little too easily.. Whatever the style, the point ...

The D Train (2015) Download Fuld

For long stretches, "The D Train" serves as a commodious vehicle for Mr. Black, who, like the best comic performers, never seems remotely concerned about going too big or risking the audience's love.. Falling in love or falling out? This film offers a helpful tonic for either condition.. A cringe-filled comic rumination on the cost of being cool, "The D Train" starts out as straight silliness and then turns to more aching matters.. Giving Alonso a melodramatic secret -- a reason for this particu...

Locke (2013) Spille Film

This adaptation of Tim Tharp's novel, directed with delicate restraint by James Ponsoldt, sneaks up on you. It makes you laugh, then it breaks your heart.. Yes, it sounds like a gimmick. But Tom Hardy is so compelling, multilayered and terrific in the title role, this one-man show is never dull.. Teller and Woodley hum together, and the movie does their performances justice.. "Locke" is one riveting film.. It's rare hybrid: a movie that can find an audience among both adults and teens.. In many ...

Black Mass (2015) Download Fuld

By the end, it packs a death stare so potent it will make you want to turn a blind eye to the shadowy brutality of its real-world horrors.. It has a screenplay of freshness and audacity that's brought to life by a director who understands its every psychological undercurrent. We might hope this kind of thing would happen all the time, but it's rare.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. We can thank Villeneuve and rookie screenwriter Taylor Sheridan's tight ...

Child 44 (2015) Download Film

The movie hints at a riveting story but is incapable of delivering it.. "Child 44" is involving despite itself.. "Child 44" plays like a curious relic of an earlier Cold War mindset, when Western audiences took comfort that they were living on the right side of the Iron Curtain, and relied on movies to remind them as much.. For long stretches, it's dull and plodding, chugging along on the fumes of its earnest intentions. Still, there are worse ways to kill two hours than watching Hardy work his ...

Blackhat (2015) Spille Film

It has a decent ludicrousness and Mann's one-of-a-kind talent for using digital photography and naturalistic light to complicate and invigorate anonymous spaces.. Hints of a quasi-apocalyptic chill seem arbitrary-neither symbolic nor dramatic. The effect is like watching software run itself.. About as thrilling and current as a first-generation Atari game system, an exercise in sleek redundancy where words like "malware" and are supposed to generate shivers of excruciating anticipation.. "Blackh...

Gladiator (2000) Spille Streaming

Ridley Scott thrusts us so close to the combat that all we see is a lot of whirling and thrashing, a sword thrust here and there, a spurt of blood, a limb severed. There's hardly a scene that is cleanly and coherently staged in open space.. The film looks muddy, fuzzy and indistinct.. The Roman costume drama, all dressed to the IX's, has taken a long holiday from the big screen.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!...

Snehvide Og Jægeren (2012) Se Fuld Film

There are many splendid reasons to see Snow White and the Huntsman - enough, maybe, not to care that neither Snow White nor the Huntsman rank high among them.. Snow White and the Huntsman has a darkness that seeps into the soul - but it's also definitely a missed opportunity. Director Rupert Sanders loses his nerve just when the story starts cooking.. While the movie sometimes seems like faux Fincher, the symbiotic acting, artful imagery and punchline ending turn "True Story" into credible enter...

There Will Be Blood (2007) Fuld Streaming

It's the three actors that make the film work, particularly Australian actress Robbie who follows a small-yet-effective role in The Wolf of Wall Street with more nuanced and ultimately powerful work.. In delicately nuanced fashion, it dances around such topics as trust, the need for companionship and the difficulties of being a woman. It also hits upon the fact that even in the most dire circumstances, humans always will have conflict.. One of the most wholly original American movies ever made.....

The Water Diviner (2014) Download Film

A good and eloquent Wyoming-set love story with a great performance at its heart.. If love does indeed conquer all, it should win hearts across America. If not, then its focus on a tragic stigma will remain as valid as its story suggests.. You don't have to be a historian to wonder about the timing of the opening or a critic to regret that Mr. Crowe has signed onto a preposterous, would-be sweeping historical romance that's far too slight and silly to carry the weight of real history.. The appro...

The Girl Next Door (2004) Fuld Streaming

This is a dishonest, quease-inducing 'comedy' that had me feeling uneasy and then unclean.. 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 film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else.

It has a decent ludicrousness and Mann's one-of-a-kind talent for using digital photography and naturalistic light to complicate and invigorate anonymous spaces.. The movieland satire is laid on thick, but it's also deadly accurate. Schlock has never seemed so patriotic, and Arkin and Goodman have rarely been so good.. Technology may have changed, cyber-crime may be all the rage, but the narrative song remains the same in films like this, and it's a tune this director knows by heart.. The premis...

Juno (2007) Fuld Streaming

What kind of movie is Juno? The rarity that plucks your heartstrings while tickling them.. A serious, interesting film about a very simple concept: The Truth. And how very complicated that can sometimes become.. If the pacing sags a little, and the scale is more modest than the 60 Minutes scandal at the heart of The Insider, Kill the Messenger is still crisp, smart and gutsy.. Most remakes are unnecessary but Annie is a bigger offender than many.. In all the ways that matter it's a missed opport...

Spotlight (2015) Se Fuld Film

The moments in "Men, Women & Children" that are supposed to sting - like the malls and high school hallways filled with text-bubbles over everyone's heads as they walk obliviously past each other - are already a visual cliche.. It is the year's scariest film simply because it's the year's most realistic: Welcome to your nightmare.. Men, Women & Children attempts to achieve the tone of Reitman's early films, pirouetting between behavioral levity and dark melodrama, yet it often falls flat.. These...

Despite its many impressive elements, "Unbroken" plays incomplete and unbalanced.. "Unbroken" stirs a moviegoer by default; it's an astounding story of human endurance that has been brought a little too safely to the screen.. One of the finest achievements of the 2014 film year.. A deliciously manipulative mystery that toys with the viewer like a femme fatale with her prey.. This is a nutty film, and for the most part I mean that in a good way.. Gone Girl presents a deft mix of whodunit and who-...
