There Will Be Blood (2007) Online-Streaming-

It's hard to tell if director and co-writer Ariel Kleiman is being serious or sarcastic with a story this preposterous.. The half-dozen chapters vary in length and subject matter, but not in style or the efficiency of their message.. Damian Szifron spins a series of superior yarns, all of them unpredictable yet at the same time recognizably human. Any anthology film runs the risk of being judged by its weakest link, but there's not a single dud in the bunch.. Sprawling yet cramped, There Will Be...

St. Vincent (2014) Film-Streaming

It's a Count for our times.. If St. Vincent flirts with sappiness - it does, and how - Melfi has struck gold in the pairing of Murray and Lieberher.. A mediocre production that nevertheless will strike a deep and resonant chord with viewers.. It's a fine, old-fashioned-movie movie, which is to say it's unburdened by pretensions to great artistic significance.. St. Vincent is no conventional hagiography but it's the movie world's equivalent - a star vehicle. Give director Melfi credit for knowing...

Magic Mike XXL (2015) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Too many elements that made the first film an enjoyable experience are missing.. The movie is capably directed by Gregory Jacobs, Soderbergh's longtime producer and assistant director, who lovingly captures sweaty bodies and glistening beaches and retains the original's loose, relaxed style.. A guiltlessly dumb movie that mostly coasts by on pecs appeal, hip-hop beats and pelvic thrusts. Lots of pelvic thrusts.. Tatum has come a long way since his "Step Up" days (he was excellent in last year's ...

Die Frau in Gold (2015) Download Voll

The movie's problems aren't small: It moves slowly, meanders everywhere and never quite arrives at a destination.. Despite a debatable focus and dubious moralizing -money plays a pivotal role in the final outcome - "The Woman in Gold" works, largely because of the odd-couple chemistry between Mirren and Reynolds.. Chef won't knock your socks off, but it believes in itself - and for Favreau, that's all that matters.. What it had going for it was an uncanny and moving relationship between Gosling ...

Focus (2015) Download Film

You come out feeling you've been had by well-intentioned crooks who aren't ready for the big show.. It does enough things right to earn a recommendation, but there are misfires aplenty for those who care to look for them.. Mostly, it is fun to watch Will Smith and Margot Robbie, and to marvel at whatever divine or evolutionary miracle concentrated so much charisma in the two of them.. The story is ludicrous...Yet Focus, Will Smith's mea culpa to moviegoers after the post-apocalyptic tedium of Af...

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

To the filmmakers' credit, they don't sugarcoat the creepiness. They mine it for the kind of laughter that makes you feel uncomfortable but also makes you think.. Little Miss Sunshine makes you want to gather all the kooks in your life and take a road trip.. Dayton and Faris satirize our win-win culture, but they don't miss a trick promoting Little Miss Sunshine for the winner's circle.. All indie-movie families may start out unhappy in their own way, but by the time the final credits roll, ever...

Silver Linings (2012) Beobachten Film

An edgy romantic dramedy that suits our anxious times.. It's a rom-com that succeeds in revitalizing that discredited genre where so many others have failed, injecting it with the grit and emotion of realist drama rather than with amped-up whimsy or social satire or montages of people walking on the beach.. Pretty much a miscalculation from beginning to end.. Lawrence, in her most high-low, sad-comic turn yet, is remarkable.. "The Silver Linings Playbook" defies categorization: it's both comedy ...

Wir kaufen einen Zoo (2011) Film Abspielen

Black Hawk Down sends you away impressed, properly horrified and then thoughtful about the lessons ignored from the battle it exhaustively describes.. A first-rate war movie that presents its subject so horrifyingly well that it doesn't need to probe or preach.. Black Hawk Down makes that point without preachment, in precise and pitiless imagery. And for that reason alone it takes its place on the very short list of the unforgettable movies about war and its ineradicable and immeasurable costs.....

The Girl Next Door (2004) Online-Streaming-

At this stage in Hollywood history, any teen movie that doesn't involve flying body fluids deserves some kind of commendation.. . The film is like a hooker dressed up as a lady: It wants to pretend it has class.. . It appears to not only be made for hormone-crazed adolescents, but by them.. An entertaining affair whose wild-card creativity never ceases to surprise.. . Cuthbert provides a great deal of heart to this alternately lewd and chaste lark.. Risky Business, while cynical and salacious, a...

Cinderella (2015) Film Abspielen

[Branagh] manages to de-toxify Disney's flagship fairy tale without overcorrecting away its prettiness, sincerity, or charm.. In being faithful to the traditional tale interpreted by Disney in their animated 1950 classic, this Cinderella is crisp escapist enjoyment.. The Citizen Kane of teen cancer tearjerkers, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon's funny and bruising Sundance sensation is like The Fault in Our Stars remade for Criterion Collection fetishists.. This "Cinderella" is all dressed up with nowhere ve...

Selbst ist die Braut (2009) Download Film

And though Bullock and Reynolds have snappy chemistry to spare, their love affair stops just shy of being believable. There are too many awkward 'tender' moments and not enough vigor for a real romance.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Believability really goes out the window here.. Nobody who ever attended a date movie will be surprised by what happens, but The Proposal has low expectations and good vibes in its favour.. I really like this movie. thank you. This is t...

L.A. Crash (2004) Film Abspielen

The movie captures the raw excitement and heartbreak of adolescence so completely that it manages to replace a seen-it-all jaded heart with the butterflies that accompany fresh experiences.. James Ponsoldt, who directed from a script by Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter, is a bit too glib to do justice to this material, but the young actors, especially Woodley, are quite fine.. And so Crash raises the question: If racism is so pervasive in our society, why do we need such an elaborately cont...

Der große Gatsby (2013) Voll Streaming

Luhrmann hasn't unlocked the secrets of a story that remains all but unfilmable, but his Gatsby is far more than a collection of superficial splashes and tics.. The entire movie is like a giant, elaborately decorated cake, created by this most exacting of film craftsmen. And how tasty it is!. What starts out as an interesting exploration of identity soon gives way to the uninspired, generic action flick we had feared it always was.. I would call "The Grand Budapest Hotel" major whimsy. It's a co...

Grabs hold of you by the lapels and simply won't let go.. It's easy to be impressed by the dramatic capabilities of actors known primarily for lighter fare - in particular, Jason Bateman and Tina Fey, both of whom are terrific.. What a wasted opportunity.. Mawkish, self-satisfied and false, This Is Where I Leave You strenuously attempts to wring poignancy from its familial clashes and catharsis. More often, it's cringe-inducing.. It's one of the few major releases so far this year that is worth ...

Annie (2014) Download Film

Engaging characters, infectious melodies, suspense, drama and dance extravaganzas appeal to children of all eras. If only the powers that be behind the new Annie movie had kept this basic truth in mind.. A teeter-totter between O.K. and Meh.. Most remakes are unnecessary but Annie is a bigger offender than many.. A stately, sober film, at times uplifting and at others agonizing.. In an era of comic-book movies, "Selma" is an impressive reminder of the real-life struggle for human dignity.. Leapi...

Mr. Damon brings both a weary optimism and convincing physicality to Max, who is no revolutionary. He just wants to live, and is willing to don an exoskeletal combat suit and fight robots to do it.. Blomkamp's admirable if obvious egalitarianism too often devolves into simplistic wish-fulfillment. Still, his formidable visual imagination is on full display.. An epic about saving humanity that feels more manufactured than human.. An entertaining workplace comedy with a dark (and well-oiled) under...

Inherent Vice - Natürliche Mängel (2014) Download Voll

More than just an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel, the film engages with the author's literature on the whole, attempting a filmic analogue to his virtuosic prose.. This "sunshine noir" bakes your brain, in a good way.. The picture is all over the map. Nothing coheres.. Although it's not as hermetic and impenetrable as The Master, Inherent Vice still comes off as a giant inside joke to anyone who hasn't read Pynchon's novel.. Inherent Vice is a sun-glared, neon-limned muddle of noir pl...
