City of McFarland (2015) Download Voll

[Costner] could have sailed through this film but he gives his role an ingrained orneriness and melancholy that lifts the entire enterprise.. All this is initially fascinating, and then progressively less so.. Based on the true story of a fledgling high school cross country team from an economically depressed Latino community, McFarland neatly delivers an uncomplicated, heartwarming message.. A movie to savour.. It holds us, spellbound and amused, for all of its loony and luscious, exasperating ...

Mr. Holmes (2015) Download Voll

As someone who neither hungers for yet another incarnation of this character nor understands why anyone would, I watched in subdued bafflement.. Moses is imagined as if Scott met him on an awkward first date.. A mish-mash - part half-committed melodrama, part half-thought-out political provocation.. It's understandable that people were angry about the whitewashing of Egypt. But no aspiring actor of color should think of this as an opportunity missed so much as a bullet dodged.. It's a gentle exa...

Margos Spuren (2015) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

If you're searching for smart, soulful teen entertainment, you can start looking inside "Paper Towns.". We've seen the elements that make up "Paper Towns" before, but that's OK. Schreier proves adept at avoiding cliches, and is helped by his actors.. Paper Towns is a movie that I really liked, but I probably would have loved if I'd seen it when I was 13.. Unlike in its predecessor, The Fault in Our Stars, the path to pubescent enlightenment in Paper Towns is more literal than existential, giving...

Nymph()maniac 2 (2013) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. The Lars von Trier you know and love (or love to hate) is back: cynical, misanthropic, punishing.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise thi...

Breaking Dawn - Bis(s) zum Ende der Nacht - Teil 2 (2012) Download Film

Fans of the series, which has made more than $2 billion worldwide, will no doubt find it all terribly romantic and deeply meaningful. The rest of humanity will remain unmoved.. This "sunshine noir" bakes your brain, in a good way.. Despite the film's frustrations, it must be acknowledged that Anderson -- a master of the multi-strand, multi-character, multi-meaning plot -- is the perfect director to adapt Pynchon, in terms of both craft and spirit.. It's about as exciting as watching David Blaine...

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...

Self/Less - Der Fremde in mir (2015) Streaming-

Self/less never really gets over the fact that much of it consists of a bland-ish, raincoat-clad everyman driving around and pointing guns at people before the inevitable, underwhelming confrontation with the big bad.. Tarsem Singh has a reputation for making movies that are visually stunning but woefully inert and convoluted in their storytelling (see The Cell and The Fall). Singh's most recent film, Self/less, lives up to at least half of that reputation.. Self/less is so restrained that I won...

Zodiac - Die Spur des Killers (2007) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Blow fades a bit in its second half, weighed down by a need to closely follow Jung's life. But even then, the actors are so compelling that it's just a mild discomfort.. . [W]here Se7en, with its stygian gloom and theatrical executions, inflated the serial killer genre to gothic proportions, Zodiac lets the air back out. It is methodical rather than macabre, clinical rather than cruel.. Zodiac, the latest film from director David Fincher, is among his best. Zodiac is long -- over two and a half ...

Prestige - Die Meister der Magie (2006) Film-Streaming

This is a terrific, smartly designed adolescent adventure, visually rich, narratively satisfying, and bound to resonate for years to come.. As a piece of filmmaking it's certainly strong enough to restore his commercial viability. Whether that's to the good is another question entirely.. Forget your history lessons about what an advanced civilization the Mayans were. Here they're bloodthirsty savages.. This is the way The Harry Potter saga was meant to end.. Yates and Kloves find the grand scope...

The Gunman (2015) Streaming-

Mr. Penn, aiming for weary, battered intensity, settles into a zone somewhere between fatigue and indigestion.. I've pretty much always enjoyed watching Penn in everything, not despite of his hambone tendency to milk every moment of every shot but because of it. This stupid movie is no exception .... It's hard to make an argument for Oldboy based on anything other than pure cinematics, but when the style speaks this loudly, it's an argument worth making.. A visually beguiling trip that keeps pul...

Juno (2007) Download Film

That smart, hip, human comedy you've been waiting for all year? The one with dialogue like a sugar rush and performances like grace notes? It's called Juno and it just arrived in theaters. Go forth and multiplex.. The film's forced quirkiness constantly threatens to derail the entire enterprise. But it keeps being put back on track by the apparently effortless performance of a great young actress.. Given our brave new cyber world, someone in Hollywood is going to have to come up with a better wa...

Was passiert, wenn's passiert ist (2012) Streaming-

The film is dully shot and so predictably plotted, you could tick off the items like you're packing a bag for the delivery room.. There is nothing moral about Irreversible -- only sneeringly superior and nihilistic, like Johnny Rotten at his most fatuous.. It's a new twist on the zombie genre, one that was verging on being done to death.. A genuine outlaw work of art.. It's a sad story, or would be if the zombie apocalypse backdrop - and the inky splotches creeping across Maggie's body - didn't ...

Mystic River (2003) Streaming-

Apologies to Hallstrom, but an adaptation of a Sparks novel always ends up being a Sparks movie.. It is certainly thrilling to see how Reeves and his CGI wizards bring their hordes of apes to life. Honestly, if I didn't know they were computerized, I'd have thought they'd brought off an evolutionary miracle.. A masterpiece of the first order.. Maybe that's the sad takeaway of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: that peace is futile, conflict inevitable. No matter the species, we're all doomed.. The ...

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. 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.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sen...

Black Swan (2010) Download Voll

St. Vincent is no conventional hagiography but it's the movie world's equivalent - a star vehicle. Give director Melfi credit for knowing the capacity of the engine he has under its hood.. Murray, with a stable of eccentric characters ranging across the landscape of his career, has selected increasingly idiosyncratic roles in recent years. Vincent is no exception.. The film picks at our deepest anxieties -- injury, disfigurement, loss of a coveted job, loss of identity, loss of sanity. In most f...

The Walk (2015) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

There are no rules, and no reason, in this world of death and revenge, and we see it through Kate's eyes: fascinated, repelled, ultimately haunted.. Villeneuve handles action scenes with impressive flair, but also understands that the key to effective action is to build up to it slowly and inexorably.. A faithful homage to a foolish genre. The risk is that audiences who don't share that love won't appreciate the work, like the world's best cover band nailing obscure nu-metal hits. Sicario is a r...

Maggie (2015) Streaming-

There is nothing moral about Irreversible -- only sneeringly superior and nihilistic, like Johnny Rotten at his most fatuous.. If you thought there was nothing new under the zombie-themed sun, or that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't act, give "Maggie" a try.. Its creepy atmosphere aside, "Maggie" is a slog of the living dead.. . Noe's summation is an ideological sucker-punch from a filmmaker who gets off on abusive relationships.. The film suffers a bit for its slowness. But once you get used to the...

Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button (2008) Streaming-

As bold and searingly imaginative as it is substantive.. Benjamin Button is little more than Gump by way of Dorian Gray. It plays too safe when it should be letting its freak flag fly.. Fincher's magic can't transform him from the coldly dispassionate misanthropist of Se7en, Fight Club, and Zodiac into a sentimental humanist, and it can't turn Brad Pitt into the kind of actor who can carry a movie like this.. The film, ambitious if flawed, also is lyrical and melancholy as it tells the story of ...
