Black Hawk Down (2001) Fuld Streaming

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 next worst thing to being there. That's how real it feels.. Black Hawk Down has a relentless force that makes character development almost beside the point.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours....

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...

Hende (2013) Spille Streaming

The best things in the movie aren't transporting or diverting but merely incite intellectual recognition: Yes. OK. That's amusing.. Her uses a familiar idea to sci-fi fans - machine sentience - and spins it in a new and exciting direction.. Jonze is an adventurous filmmaker who's never afraid of falling flat on his face and whose risks often pay off. In "Her" he is a wise observer for a modern conundrum.. A stinging romance for our solipsistic techie-centric times.. Delightfully entertaining, if...

A Most Violent Year (2014) Se Streaming

Chandor, who previously wrote and directed "Margin Call" and "All Is Lost," is already a master storyteller, and "A Most Violent Year" unfolds with beautifully controlled tension.. Abel is a man with ideals in a world that has no use for them: If he's going to succeed, he's going to have to use his wits instead of bullets.. Oscar Isaac has been extremely good in previous roles, but he is an utter revelation as Abel, the quiet power of his performance recalling early Pacino.. The performance by I...

Apocalypto (2006) Spille Streaming

By now, it's fair to say that Mel Gibson does not make boring movies. He does, however, make movies that make you a little worried about him.. Apocalypto is a lotta woe to sit through, with not much to think about and only one matter to address.. Gibson has delivered an impeccably crafted action-adventure that starts fast and never lets up.. ...beautifully rendered and convincingly exciting.. Apocalypto is primal.. By the end I felt sure it was the most obsessively, graphically violent film I'd ...
