Warrior (2011) Film Abspielen

Warrior's three principle characterizations are compelling - Nolte in particular gives a tempered performance as the shambling, sad-eyed wreck of a dad - but not enough to mask the film's lesser elements.. It's too corny to live. But the picture is a slam dunk. I mean a ground-and-pound double-leg takedown. It's really gripping.. Choppy editing makes a hash out of the fight scenes, and, by the end, a Neanderthal sensibility asserts itself: A brotherly beating makes the heart grow fonder.. A pote...

Coyote Ugly (2000) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

A talented young cast in service of a project that's every bit as shrewd as it is shrill and silly.. . The kind of excrescence that makes you wonder if the Taliban, the French and all the other foreigners who whine about the awfulness of Hollywood "product" might actually have a point.. . A shameless but very watchable piece of youthful romantic fantasy.. . Its view of women as objectified but unavailable sex toys is so retrograde it would be maddening if the movie weren't such an utter piece of...

The Best Of Me - Mein Weg zu Dir (2014) Film-Streaming

Like the artificially sweetened junk food it is, this all goes down pretty easily.. We've seen this story told in similar fashion so many times in the past. I only wish we could have had it delivered in a fresher, less cliche-filled package.. For all of the eventfulness it jams into a (poorly edited) two-hour package, The Best Of Me ends up extracting the best of absolutely no one.. Isn't fate a funny thing? Especially when Nicholas Sparks makes it up.. The actors are appealing enough and Hoffma...

The Stranger (2015) Voll Streaming

The colorful cinematography, smart performances and brisk tempo suggest a filmmaker subordinating every other impulse to the task of manufacturing pleasure.. Ultimately about fathers and sons -- but it's also about the pleasures of telling a good story, with retro charm to spare.. DiCaprio has the breeze and aplomb to keep it all bouncing along.. For viewers who don't need to suck down every last drop of vampire lore, The Stranger never gets the blood pumping.. It is familiar, but only to a poin...

Requiem for a Dream (2000) Film-Streaming

Another wet battery about a week in the life of a gambling addict.. Carey Mulligan is an inspired choice to play Bathsheba... She's cool and confident; we come to respect her strength and appreciate that she doesn't need a man to be complete.. Mulligan uses her beguiling smile to defuse the dramatic underpinnings of the story, and Sheen adds another shading to his gallery of great performances. But it's Belgian actor Schoenaerts who will leave the target audience atwitter.. This certainly is one...

Der große Trip - Wild (2014) Download Voll

The movie squanders its potential with a sloppy script chock full of false notes. Even the bumptious score intrudes, often bumping into important dialogue.. It captures an emotional memoir without making it feel like a didactic tale of triumph over adversity.. It gets better and funnier after a labored and lumbering start, which is entirely the opposite of most Hollywood comedies.. Everybody has to come a distance to understand Strayed, not least of which is the lady herself, who discovers the s...

The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!.
