I Origins - Im Auge des Ursprungs (2014) Streaming-

This is a beautifully crafted story that takes us on quite the journey of exploration and discovery.. Despite the post-doctoral double-talk in "I Origins," the movie's faith remains in the mysteries of the cosmos, and it all starts to feel a little wet.. Makes a too obvious attempt to repeat [Cahill's] previous effort, wanting to be spooky and ending up soggy.. How much you enjoy "I Origins" may well depend on whether you think lines like "Maybe the eye really is a window to the soul" are cliche...

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

A movie that's the 'follow your dream' equivalent of singing karaoke along with a DVD of Flashdance.. The film has the DNA of a blockbuster and the soul of a haunting folk tale. It is as dangerous, dark, intelligent and beautiful as its wraithlike villainess.. 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 fluff so conceptually barren it might as well be a music video.. A virtual orchard of toxic excess...

Life (2015) Online-Streaming-

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.. 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.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-...

Z for Zachariah (2015) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Craig Zobel's film asks what form humanity takes when there's (practically) no one looking. The three actors work wonders and raise provocative questions about reinventing the planet in microcosm.. An intriguing set-up yields a disappointingly ponderous payoff in Craig Zobel's post-apocalyptic drama, "Z for Zachariah.". This minimalist but deeply affecting morality play slowly tugs you in.. In delicately nuanced fashion, it dances around such topics as trust, the need for companionship and the d...

Das Leben der Anderen (2006) Download Film

Just from an entertainment standpoint, wondering what decisions the characters will make, and what the consequences might be, makes for edge-of-your-seat tension despite the movie's quietly thoughtful tone.. This isn't a revolutionary or thematically rich motion picture, but it's a well-told story featuring solid performances and a nice sense of atmosphere.. "A Most Violent Year" is an engrossing, often beautiful film, and a breakout opportunity for Isaac, whose similarly self-contained performa...

Abbitte (2007) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Joe Wright directs Atonement with an eye to framing each performance with spectacularly vivid images, including a genuinely breathtaking tracking shot on the bloody, wreckage-strewn beach at Dunkirk.. As good a film as one could imagine having been made from a great work of contemporary fiction.. Atonement is not only too polite but maddeningly orderly, resulting in a prettily cast, professionally performed, impeccably mounted bore.. Director Joe Wright and screenwriter Christopher Hampton not o...

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...
