True Story (2015) Online Streaming

Lightweight script doesn't help a grandiose premise.. The script is first-rate, questioning whether any story can really be credible when both the writer and the subject have everything to gain from it.. The real story of Christian Longo and Michael Finkel might be a fascinating and disturbing tale of crime, curiosity and journalistic ethics, but that's not what this movie is.. True Story digs deeper into the cultural fascination with killers and attempts a potent corrective along the way, remin...

Victor Frankenstein (2015) Spille Film

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. 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.. A masterpiece of g...

Dommeren (2014) Download Fuld

[Duvall and Downey] may not be enough to counterbalance the bloat of the rest of the film, but they keep it from sinking under the weight of soggy sentimentality.. While it's good to know that character-driven dramas still have a place at the movies, "The Judge" might have worked better as a television miniseries.. Dobson ... may be a bit clumsy out of the gate with more sensitive material, but wisely gives his seasoned cast a lot of rope.. As a director, Chbosky mirrors his central character's ...

Horns (2013) Download 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.. "Horns" shifts from nifty Gothic thriller to obvious but meaningless allegory.. Heedless of purpose, "Horns" charges full speed ahead anyway, ramming its high-concept hooey down your throat until the only heat you feel is from indigestion.. Strangely enough, in its thorough devotion to its premise, "Horns" winds up...

The Age of Adaline (2015) Online Streaming

One of the finest achievements of the 2014 film year.. 145 minutes of riveting drama and surprises.. The film's stabs at social commentary -- the constant barrage of tabloid TV coverage -- are crushingly obvious.. This is one of those movies that have you wondering: Long before the actors signed up and the locations were chosen and the sets were built and the filming began, how did someone not say, "Um, we have a big problem with this story"?. The film is as tender and endearing as a lamb, a lam...

Real Steel (2011) Download Film

Feels as if it were made inside the mind of a kid obsessed with robots.. There's nothing real about Real Steel except its shameless desire to please by going where better and more successful movies have gone before.. A slightly soggy tale of father-son bonding, crossed with an action-adventure flick about high-tech battle-bots.. Though the premise of fighting robots does seem a plausible and intriguing extension of the contemporary WWE world, Real Steel is hampered by leaden, cliched moments in ...

Brokeback Mountain (2005) Online Streaming

Brokeback Mountain the power to break your heart -- and, perhaps more important, to open it.. If the cowboy movies of John Wayne and John Ford were about the opening of the American West, Brokeback Mountain is the somber slam of its closing.. Both [Gyllenhaal and Ledger] embody what that old Waylon and Willie song taught us -- 'Cowboys ain't easy to love, and they're harder to hold.'. The movie has a universal quality because it tells a story of unfulfilled lives and roots it in the well-observe...
