Non-Stop (2014) Spille Streaming

What a waste of a great premise: a locked-room mystery at 30,000 feet.. "Non-Stop" may be a tad derivative -- you could call it "Sky Hard" -- and its ending crash-lands in more ways than one. When all its engines are firing, however, it's a heck of a ride.. What holds the movie together, and us in its thrall, is Mr. Neeson's big, often bludgeony presence.. Why demand logic of an action movie released in February, when audiences just want a nice, bumpy ride?. The movie's preposterous, complicated...

Dark Places (2015) Online Streaming

Paquet-Brenner wrings the suspense out of "Dark Places" almost from the get-go, with a plodding pace and characters who are meant to be powerfully repressed but only come across as drab.. The best thing about "Unfriended," beyond its funny-nasty title, is that it doesn't play as remotely dull as it sounds even if most of the drama takes place inside shifting, overlapping windows.. The efficient exposition is entirely composed of a LiveLeak video and half a YouTube clip. It's supremely goofy and ...

Broken Horses (2015) Online Streaming

A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. 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.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the sto...

Let Me In (2010) Download Film

It's called Let Me In. That demanding title says something about how the gentle poetry of the original gets lost a bit in Reeves' translation.. It's a busy made-up universe -- with rules, rituals, and a deity-tree that could give the Hindu hierarchy a run for its rupee. And it's extremely silly.. Lady is the height of folly, an endeavor as wrongheaded as The Postman, as foolish as any 'vanity' project of the past 20 years.. With his work beginning to seem as insular as the communities he's imagi...

Taking Lives (2004) Fuld Streaming

. Nosedive it does, abandoning all pretense of style and eccentricity for at-times laughable predictability.. . It's slick nonsense at best and for the first hour it's watchable.. 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.. The first nine minutes of Taking Lives are, in fact, compelling and good ... Sadly, the rest of Taki...

The Raven (2012) Download Fuld

Horn delivers a star turn as Oskar, a child trying to make sense of a tragedy that still baffles us all.. If imagining a city where people open their doors (or don't) to a boy with a key and a ton of questions is sentimental ... then it is vitally, beautifully so.. It lingers intolerably on some inessential scenes, rushes through others, and fails to provide any motivation either for Poe's devoted (albeit fictional) love, or the film's archvillain.. Less a film about communication, in the end, t...

Scooby-Doo 2: Uhyrerne Er Løs (2004) Fuld Film Streaming

Little more than 91 minutes of cheesy special effects in search of a remotely coherent story.. Monstrously silly.. What I felt as I watched Scooby-Doo was not the intense dislike I had for the first film, but a kind of benign indifference.. . As little as there is to recommend in Scooby-Doo 2, it must be noted that the human cast has done an uncanny job of inhabiting their two-dimensional characters, especially Lillard.. Slightly more digestible than its predecessor.. . The sequel will likely be...
