Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) Spille Film

The directors show a great talent for jagged-edged farce.. "Crazy, Stupid, Love" is, on balance, remarkably sane and reasonably smart.. Sorry, dudes. It seems we can't do anything right, but we're still funny. Sometimes.. This is the sort of film that Oscar generally ignores come awards season. It shouldn't. Crazy Stupid Love is a crazy smart film.. [A] pleasant surprise.. Carell carries the comedy, while remaining grounded in the pain of the character, and so we care. It's also astonishing what...

Insidious (2010) Download Film

Here's a better-than-average spook house movie, mostly because Insidious decides it can haunt an audience without spraying it with blood.. Wan and Whannell have, in effect, ripped pages from the "Poltergeist" playbook and stripped the formulas down to old-style gothic scares.. Aesthetically, Insidious operates at the level of a decent high school video project.. builds legitimate haunted-house dread ... [but] at a very specific point ... possession turns jokey and hokey.. The final shocker succe...

The Hurt Locker (2008) Se Streaming

We've had good and very good Iraq movies for several years now, but The Hurt Locker has a fullness of understanding that sets it apart.. Psychologically acute and thrillingly dramatic, The Hurt Locker blows every other Iraq war movie off the screen.. This beyond-the-headlines war movie, a 'ticking clock' thriller from journalist-turned-screenwriter Mark Boal, is the first Iraq War movie to qualify as more first-rate entertainment than sermon.. The Hurt Locker leaves an impression. It practically...

Mississippi Grind (2015) Download Fuld

The "action" here is Turing tinkering with his machine. Or simply thinking -- which, as Cumberbatch portrays it, is adventure of the highest order.. Even as a road movie this is pretty bland.. This film's overall success hangs on Cumberbatch and what is, to date, his finest performance on the big screen.. A sweet, shambling, supremely enjoyable road movie about two compulsive gamblers of very different stripes, it could easily be confused for one of Alexander Payne's wounded comedies, albeit one...

Benjamin Buttons Forunderlige Liv (2008) Se Fuld Film

I laughed all the way through, thanks to both consistently clever dialogue and deft delivery from Carell and Gosling, who clearly relished a chance to flex his comic muscles.. There's leisure to the storytelling, a splendor that captures the movie's celebratory but also melancholy ideas about our time on this mortal coil.. Given the resources and talent here, quite a movie might have resulted. But it's so hard to care about this story.. Crowe pulls out the stops, but he looks too bullish and con...

Lawless (2012) Spille Streaming

I watched wide-eyed with dismay while the film turned as lifeless as the paintings.. This is a well-made movie that deserves a higher profile than it is being accorded.. This should've been a really good picture, especially with Hillcoat's crack ensemble. Instead it's a stilted battle waged between the material and the interpreters.. A story of entrepreneurship, of family, of fighting for one's rights - the right to make white lightning, and money. It's as American as apple pie.. Nimble, off the...
