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...

Zodiac (2007) Fuld Film Streaming

Several bravura suspense sequences - can't help but recall slasher convention.. David Fincher's grim but mesmerizing Zodiac offers the puzzle-solving addictiveness of a detective story, the shivers of a thriller and the allure of a character study, all presented with a dash of newspaper drama.. A blandly superficial treatment of a deeply complex man.. The most provocative aspect of this compulsive riddle is how it resists closure.. I think this is a great film.. He was a charismatic leader, and ...

Niceville (2011) Se Fuld Film

Yates and Kloves find the grand scope in Rowling's book, and mine it for all the excitement and pathos it's worth.. The Help brings a chick-flick sensibility to a serious subject, which is more daring than it might sound. It's also incredibly refreshing.. [The Help] is, in some ways, crude and obvious, but it opens up a broad new swath of experience on the screen, and parts of it are so moving and well acted that any objections to what's second-rate seem to matter less as the movie goes on.. Ten...

Hundredefodsrejsen (2014) Online Streaming

It's the movie version of comfort food. Except even in comfort food there's a difference between something made from scratch, and something that comes out of a box. And "The Hundred-Foot Journey" still tastes of powdered cheese.. At its core, The Hundred-Foot Journey is a movie about good food, and one man's passion for cooking.. It's a rare delight to watch Puri and Mirren play off each other.. Awards material it's not, but the movie knows its intentions and audience, and cooks everything up in...

White House Down (2013) Se Fuld Film

Radcliffe looks ready to stretch beyond the black comedy into something grave and mysterious. Director Aja shuts him down - cold. Horns has style to burn, but there's no there there.. Formula action films don't come much more formulaic that this.. It's the Die-Hard-in-the-White-House scenes that are the real stars - tightly framed and quickly paced scenes of mayhem, murder and hand-to-hand combat as an on-his-own Tatum tries to save the day.. It seems to have been made by people who couldn't dec...

Million Dollar Baby (2004) Fuld Film Streaming

As an actor, Eastwood has rarely taken on a character as complex as Frankie Dunn.. Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby is a masterpiece, pure and simple, deep and true.. The only differences between this new film and its many forebears are that the young hopeful is a woman and the finish is unforeseen.. It is thoughtful, unfashionable, measured, mostly honest, sometimes clumsy or remote, often exciting, occasionally moving and eventually surprising. It's correct.. A glorious knockout punch of a...
