Shooter (2007) Spille Streaming

Shooter eventually gets in its own way by hitting things too hard, too loud and too long.. The engaging, fast-talking idiosyncrasy of [Wahlberg's] performance in The Departed has vanished.. Shooter won't win any Oscars, but it has blood and brains, and even some heart. They're splattered all over the screen.. Its pleasures are borrowed, but durable.. If Abrams had stuck with the kids and cut way back on all the sci-fi hoo-ha, his film might have stood a fighting chance of being charming. Big is ...

Spøgelseshuset (2003) Download Film

The movie's horror angle also reminds us of Vampire in Brooklyn, the last in a string of Murphy flops before The Nutty Professor saved his screen career in 1996. With this listless foray, Eddie is twice bitten.. A minor chiller and major downer from the talented Alexandre Aja.. More Disneyland ride than movie, short on plot and long on dazzling visuals for the kiddies.. Rob Minkoff has directed a movie that's nearly laughless and nowhere near as frightening as what's happened to Eddie Murphy's c...

The Overnight (2015) Fuld Streaming

Does Brice even fully grasp what he's getting at? Maybe not. That's why this is such a juicy specimen of the Cocktail Party Walpurgisnacht subgenre. He's in nearly the same place as his riven characters.. "The Overnight" isn't much - in fact, it's hardly anything. For what it is, though, it's enough.. Goblet is deliciously dark, wickedly funny and superbly mounted.. The result is a bit twisty, largely credible and well played by the talented leads.. The real hero of the fourth Harry Potter film ...

Disturbia (2007) Spille Streaming

Has nowhere near the conceptual sophistication of Rear Window, where the protagonist's absorption in what he's watching mirrors the viewer's. The problem with Disturbia is that for most of the film you'll wish you weren't watching at all.. Disturbia will have young people on the edge of their seat, cringing and thinking at the same time.. Every piece of the story is jammed predictably into place. Kale sees the cute girl next door; the cute girl comes over. Kale sees the killer next door; the kil...

Gosford Park (2001) Online Streaming

A succulent and devious drawing-room mystery that, in its panoramic way, takes a puckish pleasure in scrambling and reshuffling the worlds of upstairs and downstairs.. This is an exemplary exercise in Anglophilia.. Altman is a supreme artist-joker, and the jest this time is that the most American of film directors has given us a finely wrought British whodunit with the emotional layering of a first-rate novel.. . Altman is one of the few contemporary directors who consistently showcases excellen...

Scoop (2006) Fuld Streaming

Scoop, an amiable romp of lighthearted fun.. Every actor has a few titles on his resume that he'd love to forget. So should you ever have the opportunity to meet Deception stars Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor, we highly recommend you pretend this movie was never made.. Woody -- enough with the one-liners.. These classy people are put to the trashiest ends, and, for the most part, it's a pleasure to see them rooting around in the garbage.. The movie is watchable, there's the occasional good one-l...

Sherlock Holmes (2009) Fuld Streaming

What was the thinking behind all this?. . . At times, Ritchie and company try so hard to make sure this isn't your father's Sherlock Holmes that it comes across as, well, cartoonish.. This is a swashbuckling, pratfalling romp designed to make cerebral Holmes purists drop their monocles into their teacups.. Though purists may balk at Arthur Conan Doyle's literary world being manhandled into a blockbuster by never-subtle director Guy Ritchie, Downey has a winning take on Holmes: He's always on.. G...

Inherent Vice (2014) Fuld Film Streaming

"Enemy" is what might happen if someone let Terrence Malick make a "Twilight Zone" episode, with a quick rewrite by David Cronenberg.. Even if "Enemy" sometimes goes too far - and, in proffering any kind of internal logic, never goes far enough - it grips your attention from the very first scene. And will haunt you long after its last.. Despite Gyllenhaal's twitchy, two-headed performance, "Enemy" is hobbled by a genetic flaw: Suspension of disbelief has a twin called suspicion of dumbness.. The...

Veronica Mars (2014) Spille Streaming

Luckily, the action picks up when the dialogue stalls, with startling car crashes, cat-and-mouse games and unexpected gunshots that make for a spellbinding climax.. Be careful what you wish for, and also what you buy into.. Veronica Mars is a great deal more than a bonus episode, but slightly less than a movie.. This isn't just a nostalgia trip. Almost a decade has passed, and the characters aren't just older, they've changed in recognizable and gratifying ways.. Veronica Mars is a delightful pi...

The Boy Next Door (2015) Fuld Film Streaming

Predictable and foolishly unsuspecting characters react in ways that make you want to shake them. But there's an undeniable sense of silly fun in this erotic thriller.. Dazzling visuals and hipster dialogue, but a story that stays true to the original source material.. The very idea of handing him over to professional lad Guy Ritchie, to be played as a punch-throwing quipster by Robert Downey Jr., is so profoundly stupid one can only step back in dismay.. This is a swashbuckling, pratfalling rom...

Vampire Academy (2014) Spille Film

The only thing that distinguishes this teen-magnet wannabe from its predecessors is how lazily it appears to have been slapped together.. Ultimately more "Meaningless" than "Mean Girls," "Vampire Academy" is a busy, overcomplicated empowerment fantasy with more hormones than brain cells.. For the target audience - teen girls likely to spend as much time gossiping in the theater lobby as they are to actually watch the movie - "Vampire Academy" is pure catnip.. This attempt to capture the magic of...

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...

Sorority Row (2009) Se Fuld Film

Slightly more digestible than its predecessor.. . In The Black Dahlia, narrative strands tangle and wither, and minor characters clutter the plot.. What it accomplishes with its stunning cinematography and set design is undercut by a lack of coherence.. . Sorority Row is an interminable mess of a film that juggles more characters and undeveloped subplots than it can handle and even manages to bungle the setup.. Josh Friedman's screenplay doesn't so much distill the flavor of James Ellroy's hard-...

Rush Hour 2 (2001) Spille Streaming

While not breaking any new ground, director D.J. Caruso's movie also doesn't disappoint.. Best of all, it doesn't star Ashley Judd, who has made a wearying specialty out of playing tough-tender female cops. Danger-prone Angelina Jolie is on the case here -- an improvement that pays big dividends throughout.. Taking Lives is smarter than your average serial-killer movie, thanks to unusually fleshed-out characters inhabited by a high- pedigree cast.. For fans of the still-youthful franchise, this ...

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) Se Streaming

[A] cheerful mess of a pulp-fiction parody, pumped full of laughs by Michelle Monaghan, Val Kilmer, and Robert Downey Jr.. The movie's self-referential snarkiness borders on too clever for its own good, but there's no denying the fresh new edge to this one-time Hollywood hotshot's directorial debut.. A more-than-serviceable dark comedy.. [A] movie-lover's movie.. It can make for an exasperating ride, since the filmmakers fudge the line between earnest manipulation and flip self-mockery.. A film ...
