Illusionisten (2006) Spille Film

With exquisite performances (Giamatti's, in particular), it leaves you thrillingly hovering, happily uncommitted to any one interpretation.. "Diminishing returns" is a description that applies to many film series. "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" is a delicious exception.. Underneath its hocus-pocus is a compelling story, very well told.. This terrific romantic thriller, set in 1900 Vienna, is an outstanding example of frugality in the service of art.. You might not buy all the twists and tu...

Inside Man (2006) Online Streaming

A slick, kinetic and relatively straightforward -- which is to say enjoyably twisty-turny -- tranche of cat-and-mouse procedural.. Movie magic hangs in the air of Martin Scorsese's Hugo, much like the steam and dust that fills almost every frame.. Scorsese transforms this innocent tale into an ardent love letter to the cinema and a moving plea for film preservation.. If the story is a smidge predictable, at least the movie is pleasingly old-fashioned and grown-up, with a '90s paranoid-thriller v...

Harry Potter og dødsregalierne - del 1 (2010) Download Fuld

There's plenty of humor, plenty of magic and even a bit of romantic stress, although there's also quite a bit of mulling and standing about.. Alas, as directed by the returning David Yates, these big chase sequences are the usual compendium of ear-splitting noise and eye-glazing edits -- again, no magic required and none delivered.. The trouble with Harry, as becomes clear from this seventh and penultimate installment, is not that we have lost the plot -- the film is as tangled and as corkscrewe...

Pod (2015) Se 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.. 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!!. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to ...

State of Play (2009) Se Fuld Film

Uneven and conventional.. Giving new meaning to movie magic, those Hollywood tricksters have managed to shorten the story while slowing the pace -- all of a sudden, minutes are passing like hours.. The smartest and scariest supernatural thriller since The Sixth Sense.. Beneath its calm, exquisitely detailed surface, "When Marnie Was There" bubbles with half-formed ideas and undeveloped themes.. The movie is ingenious in its plotting, colorful in its characters, taut in its direction and fortunat...

The Skeleton Key (2005) Spille Streaming

The Skeleton Key delivers on all formulaic counts, except one: It never serves up any truly nightmare-inspiring scares.. There's lots of bad stuff brewing on the bayou in this occasionally scary but more often silly movie, which wastes some good actors along the way.. It's basically Rosemary's Baby, Cajun style, with a pinch of Amityville Horror for kick.. Though the story is as creaky as a plantation porch, Iain Softley's lushly atmospheric The Skeleton Key does offer a few nifty twists on the ...

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...
