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...

Bag Facaden (2000) Se Fuld Film

Lacking a smarter screenplay, it milks the genuine skills of its actors and director for more than it deserves, and then runs off the rails in an ending more laughable than scary.. . "White Bird in a Blizzard" is an odd little concoction, a coming-of-age story that, only in passing, is also a mystery.. A classy supernatural lady-in-distress thriller.. Fracture is the kind of polished cat-and-mouse movie thriller that depends entirely on the cat and the mouse having read and agreed to the script ...

Infernal Affairs (2002) Spille Streaming

The movie's engine is the relationships and the characters' inner lives, all of it boiling with emotional intensity.. . It offers a fairly fresh variation on a done-to-death genre.. It overflows with psychological intrigue, something often missing from such offerings.. Beauty in its consistent, washed-out blues and silvers, grace in its understated, intense male performances and energy in its unyielding commitment to tone and tension..

Winter's Tale (2014) Download Film

Clumsy and inert, a lumbering white elephant rather than the flying white horse that is the novel's magical mascot.. Not only is the story of magic, angels, demons and predetermined destiny preposterous, but the characters are also unconvincing and the dialogue sanctimonious.. Like the frozen expanses of its most dramatic settings, "Winter's Tale" is mostly hard, glittering surface.. It's so filled with high-flown blather about love, destiny and miracles that there's no room for enchantment.. Be...

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...

The Mothman - Mørkets Budbringer (2002) Online Streaming

There are certainly strong moments and efficient set pieces here, too, but for all the claims that the film, adapted from a 1975 book by John Keel, is based on real events, Pellington fails to sustain credibility.. Remaking Alain Corneau's 2010 French noir Love Crime proves less a comeback for De Palma and more what economists call a 'dead cat bounce.'. A throwaway by a gifted filmmaker who has run out of ideas.. Passion is pretty good. If you cared enough to make a list, it might be your fifth ...

House at the End of the Street (2012) Spille Streaming

Tonderai steers the story cleanly around its queasy hairpin turns, perversely toying with one of pop cinema's most cherished cliches: the audience's inculcated desire to side with the underdog.. Goes flat and generic, substituting jump-scares and visual twitchiness for the psychological complexity that might have sold the horror.. Originality, or lack thereof, isn't really the movie's problem. Execution is.. Bland, bloodless babysitter bait.. A choppily edited, poorly timed mess with little cont...
