Harry Potter og dødsregalierne - del 2 (2011) Spille Film

This is the way The Harry Potter saga was meant to end.. Fresh and fearsome fun.. A convoluted, airless procedural that generates practically no suspense and little that's thematically resonant about lost souls and poisoned memories.. Dingy and dumb. Instead of a quickened pulse, it results in multiple yawns and a "So, that's it? Meh.". "Dark Places" isn't a disaster of a film. Instead, it's the definition of average, and we wish it could have taken us to some more interesting places.. My, how t...

Monster Huset (2006) Spille Streaming

Under Mikael Hafstrom's visually clunky, rhythmless direction, it's a snooze of epic sameness: choppy action scenes, a blankly stern Cusack, and too many allegiance shifts to count or care for.. Monster House is good fun. All that's missing is the indelible link between good and great.. The result is an efficient film that never really catches fire, but satisfies along the way.. It is hampered by weak writing and a badly executed story line.. Director Mikael Hafstrom and a fine cast and crew hav...

Zodiac (2007) Fuld Film Streaming

This movie, like the first, is more of a translation than an adaptation. It's the visual equivalent of an audio book, slightly abridged.. For a director whose earlier films include the influential Seven and cult-fave Fight Club, the results are merely good -- not great.. David Fincher's grim but mesmerizing Zodiac offers the puzzle-solving addictiveness of a detective story, the shivers of a thriller and the allure of a character study, all presented with a dash of newspaper drama.. Like many ch...

Harry Potter og hemmelighedernes kammer (2002) Spille Streaming

The franchise is safe! Columbus' second alchemical movie ups the thrill quotient to satisfy the faithful. There's more action, and it's scarier.. No sequelitis here, kids (and grown-ups) -- this franchise is alive and well.. This new Harry Potter has its flaws, but it's better, as well as darker, than the first.. This movie, like the first, is more of a translation than an adaptation. It's the visual equivalent of an audio book, slightly abridged.. While it still falls short of becoming the clas...

Harry Potter og halvblodsprinsen (2009) Spille Film

The filmmakers have found a way to refresh our eyes and enhance our appreciation for this rich, amazing creation.. Penn and his fellow actors are fine at conversation, but there are more dialogue-driven subplots here than a movie full of bullets and land mines requires.. The lag time between the final books and the movies has drained much of the urgency from this screen adaptation, which, far more than any of the previous films, feels like an afterthought.. While the romantic sweetness that it's...

Mr. Holmes (2015) Spille Film

Mr. Holmes is about how the past defines us. It is also very much about regret and trying to put things right.. Mulholland Drive makes movies feel alive again.. Lynch needs to renew himself with an influx of the deep feeling he has for people, for outcasts, and lay off the cretins and hobgoblins and zombies for a while.. An elegant puzzler that presents the sage of Baker Street dealing with the one thing he's never had to contend with before: his own emotions.. The truth is that this film is mos...
