Snowpiercer (2013) Film Abspielen

In different hands, Snowpiercer might have been just another generic action movie. Yet with South Korean director Bong Joon-ho at the helm, it's instead something more off-kilter and more disturbingly satisfying.. As with The Host, the political satire is teased out gradually as the story progresses and never intrudes on one's enjoyment of the movie's richly imagined world.. The sheer perversity of Neeson's thrillers is a big part of their delight.. With all due respect for Harris's ability to o...

Captain Phillips (2013) Voll Streaming

This is acting of the highest order in a movie that raises the bar on what a true-life action thriller can do..

Director Paul Greengrass' treatment of this material - and Tom Hanks' extraordinary performance - makes the movie required viewing for the informed and uninformed alike.. Captain Phillips puts...

Inglourious Basterds (2009) Voll Streaming

The best movie I've ever seen. amazing in every acting of the players as real and natural.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. I don't know if I've ever seen a revenge fantasy so willfully messed up, sometimes offensively so, that still manages to be worthwhile for whole sections of its 2 1/2 hours. The opening is as good a sequence as Tarantino has ever created.. Like a bat to the head, it's not too subtle, but you can't help but watch.. The excellent performances by th...

Foxcatcher (2014) Streaming-

The year's best cast, including a phenomenal Carell, makes up for slow pacing in the latest drama from the director of "Capote.". It's too bad then that the film...doesn't live up to Carell's memorable performance. As chilly as du Pont's mansion on a winter's night, Foxcatcher never quite comes together.. This isn't to say that there's not enough here, but just don't look for it all to add up.. At its core, this is a film about men doing violence to men. And they do plenty of it.. There's just n...
