Andrew Lloyd Webber's kitschy theatrical spectacle is now a kitschy theatrical movie, a mix of melodrama, horror, romance, mystery and melody heaped together into a cinematic smorgasbord, one heavy in starch.. The trouble with this movie -- aside from its lack of visual wonder and musical shape -- is that you don't trust its priorities.. The movie version of Lloyd Webber's swooning 1986 horror operetta...
The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) Se Fuld Film
Working from Phoebe Gloeckner's 2002 graphic novel/memoir, Heller gets the shabby glamour and bleached sunshine of '70s San Francisco just right, coloring several scenes with vivid blooms of animation.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. Big summer action movies can be thrilling, but if you really want to feel your...

Does a few things wrong but a lot right, starting right at the top with McConaughey.. "Dallas Buyers Club" takes audiences back to the worst of the AIDS crisis, where the disease was a death sentence, and the public's terror and hostility were at its height..

Set, appropriately, in 1984, The Lives of Others weaves a compelling human drama into a chilling portrait of polite totalitarianism..

Mulholland Drive (2001) Fuld Streaming
. One of the very few movies in which the pieces not only add up to much more than the whole, but also supersede it with a series of (for the most part) fascinating fragments.. If Frank Capra was still around, director John Lee Hancock might have had to fight him for the job.. This is from a first time director, so you see somebody who's just got a great career ahead of him.. Lynch challenges our...
The Walk (2015) Spille Streaming
The Walk is a visionary high-wire act.. It's when the walk portion of The Walk arrives that this unevenly scripted, fact-based thriller achieves its full potential.. It's two-thirds of a great film but the slow start and unremarkable first hour hold it back. Still, for those who buy into the precept that "good things are worth waiting for," The Walk unquestionably delivers.. The walk itself is the...
