About Time (2013) Spille Streaming

A mostly charming romance, leavened by deft comedy, interesting sidelights (there are a few wonderful jabs at the world of the British theater) and a lovely cast.. Even in a work of science fiction like this, Gleeson seems beyond real. All those foam-faces being made in the dark? They're for him.. Time travel can be a nifty device for stirring and complicating romantic drama.. The latest sprawling romcom/family drama from Richard Curtis way outlasts its charm.. A soap opera of babies, poignant m...

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 ...

Et smukt sind (2001) Spille Film

The directors show a great talent for jagged-edged farce.. Pity the crowds expecting another cute comedy like "Date Night" who wind up at "Crazy, Stupid, Love." It'll be like asking for a burger and getting served escargot.. The result is mainstream moviemaking at its highest, most satisfying level.. 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.. Screenwriter Akiva Gol...

Sweeney Todd: Den Djævelske Barber fra Fleet Street (2007) Se Fuld Film

It's as if Burton was born to direct it.. Burton's overall restraint is a welcome surprise. Shorn of his usual camp trappings, the director evokes a sadness beneath every uneasy smile he draws from the audience.. A thoughtful, sincere and moving film, buttressed by a fine, central performance by an actor at the top of his form.. Sondheim's original musical was already a mad synthesis of Jacobean shock, Brechtian irony and Dickensian pathos -- to which Burton's lush visuals add another layer of a...

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!!...

Birdman (2014) Se Streaming

This is a strange and beautiful and unique film, one of the best movies of the year.. "Birdman" vividly evokes a time of equal parts possibility and terrifying uncertainty, and makes a persuasive case that, when the ground is shifting beneath your feet, the best thing to do is to take flight.. Birdman takes advantage of every facet of Keaton's talent, from his knack for absurdist comedy to his seemingly effortless ability to tap into graceful profundity without making a big show of it.. Does it ...
