The Punisher (2004) Beobachten Film

The Punisher doesn't rise to the top of an ever-growing, comic-book movie heap.. The graphic nature of the violence that makes The Punisher hard to recommend without serious caveats.. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense of the word and I'm not WHO Easily could be convinced with good action no matter how big and famous. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense o...

The Village - Das Dorf (2004) Streaming-

Dangerously dour.. Far more interesting as a trip than a destination.. The movie has a universal quality because it tells a story of unfulfilled lives and roots it in the well-observed specifics of a vanishing Western culture.. If the cowboy movies of John Wayne and John Ford were about the opening of the American West, Brokeback Mountain is the somber slam of its closing.. It is simply one of the greatest love stories in film history.. A film about love and the cost of lying that's exquisite in...

Lawless - Die Gesetzlosen (2012) Voll Streaming

It's a much better film than nine-tenths of what's out there on any given Friday, and if you're a fan of steak-and-potatoes crime drama, I highly recommend it.. "Lawless" offers a compelling, gruesome and instructive time-travel exercise.. This is Washington's movie as much as it is Lucas' story, and he is as entertainingly evil here as in his Oscar-winning performance as a bad cop in Training Day.. Ultimately, "Lawless" is just another gangster movie, and not a very good one .... The center of ...

Lincoln (2012) Film-Streaming

It's very good, but that's not the point. It's necessary.. There are long stretches that are as quiet, contemplative, and austere as anything Spielberg has ever done.. Lincoln serves history better than it does the multiplex, and that's a brave and worthy thing in a time of slippery truths and splintered attention spans.. Its characters, people who lived long ago and who tended to be much more loquacious than a 140-character burst would allow, somehow seem to breathe the same air we do.. Day-Lew...

Blow (2001) Film-Streaming

Depp aside, the acting is almost uniformly atrocious -- although it's hard to make hay out of this dialogue.. Very little about this druggy drama works as intended.. Tthe movie is higher on style than it is on substance, but one of its strong suits is that it never stoops so low as to lecture us. It throttles by with irresponsible abandon.. . It's one of the few major releases so far this year that is worth a grown-up's time.. Blow can't sustain the high.. Neither a tragedy nor a morality play, ...

Das erstaunliche Leben des Walter Mitty (2013) Online-Streaming-

This is Washington's movie from beginning to end, and full of little layers.. A straightforward morality play crossed with a pretty good nail-biter.. Just a couple of hours with Washington reclining within the contours of a role until a piece of cardboard becomes a character.. Shameless, though effective, melodrama.. Flight is a well-made motion picture, but not a fun or entertaining one.. This is a notably more upbeat attitude than the original short story had and Stiller sells it well.. It's a...

The First Time (2012) Film-Streaming

Mildly diverting celebration of loserdom.. All indie-movie families may start out unhappy in their own way, but by the time the final credits roll, everyone remains complacent, confident of their brood's superiority.. Unlike so many films that force life lessons down your throat, Little Miss Sunshine weaves them into the fabric of the story.. Hilarious, profane and as much fun as you are going to have in a theater this summer.. ... a film of small and gratifying surprises.. The highest praise th...
