Under the Skin (2014) Fuld Film Streaming

All this is initially fascinating, and then progressively less so.. "Under the Skin" begins to take on the feel of tragedy; of a creature trapped, like that baby, somewhere it cannot survive.. "Under the Skin" clearly does not intend to telegraph its meaning, but meaning may not be the movie's strong suit.. "Under the Skin" is original to the highest degree. Is it a great film? I'm not convinced. Are there moments of greatness in it? Quite a few.. Most of Under the Skin operates on an almost sub...

Lone Survivor (2013) Fuld Streaming

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 lacking. Great!!. The sensitive young genius story has been done to death, but apparently there's still room for the gentle nuance presented in "A Brilliant Young Mind.". This isn't a bad film, just a slow and predictable one, hitting all the usual marks as precisely as one of Nathan's proofs.. It is a fully realized love story of rare s...

Run All Night (2015) Spille Film

Mostly thanks to its stars, it is a perfectly acceptable, if unnecessary, addition to the angry middle-aged guy action-movie genre.. The movie is the cinematic equivalent of junk food. It satisfies the craving for the sensation of nihilism, without its substance.. Neeson and Harris are good at this sort of thing. The outcome is never in doubt, but an amazing amount of firepower is employed to get there.. Though Neeson, as usual, gives an effective performance, maybe it's time for him to lighten ...

Anna Karenina (2012) Download Film

It's hard not to admire Wright's bold approach to Anna Karenina's story of longing and jealousy and societal condemnation.. An intoxicating spectacle that breathes new life into the classic Tolstoy novel, incorporating the notion that all life's a stage -- at least for imperial Russian society.. You don't merely watch Joe Wright's sumptuous "Anna Karenina," but you waltz with it, run with it, whirl with it.. The very picture of noble failure, it's a bright red heart without a beat.. Knightley an...

Black Swan (2010) Se Streaming

For every moment of exquisite grace, Aronofsky compensates with a shot of bruised toes mercilessly cracking, or someone taking a pair of scissors to the sole of a pink toe shoe.. Taken in the too-much-is-never-enough vein, "Black Swan" is a fantastic experience.... For all its ham-fistedness, it captures something about the tyranny of the ballet world and, by extension, the neurotic imprisonment of female body image.. There's a delirium that runs through Black Swan, a sense of stress and anguish...

Predestination (2014) Download Fuld

It's certainly imaginative, with high-minded ideas, but Hawke and Snook are what keep it grounded in truth.. Predestination is disorienting, but in a way that suggests narrative chaos rather than narrative control.. As soon as the credits rolled on "Predestination," I wanted to watch it again. It was even more of a mind-dance the second time around.. Weirder and more contemplative than many of its time-traveling brethren, "Predestination" is a stylish head trip.. Predestination is science fictio...

Lost in Translation (2003) Online Streaming

With this film it becomes clear that Sofia Coppola is a filmmaker with eyes all her own.. Although Translation is only [Coppola's] second feature, she already shows signs of being a sensei, as the Japanese call a master.. Very much a mood piece, the film's deft balance of humor and poignancy makes it both a pleasurable and melancholy experience.. [Murray] can still do more with a raised eyebrow than anyone since Groucho Marx, but he's mellower and sometimes slightly poignant.. So far as the cent...
