Tintin: Enhjørningens hemmelighed (2011) Spille Film

Things started to fall off of the deep end very quickly.. The relentless pace is a big part of the fun. Who ever heard of a slow rollercoaster, anyway?.

Deception (2008) Spille Streaming

A would-be erotic thriller with no heat and zero chills, Deception has the kind of glassy, glossy sheen and risible story that mean to suggest Basic Instinct but instead invoke lesser laughers like Jade and Sliver.. Deception would be laughably bad if it weren't so rotely inert.. There's not a twist in this flimsy and moth-eaten plot that isn't both contrived and transparent and not a character who hasn't been hopelessly manipulated by the needs of the narrative.. The plot comes together in Madr...

. During a conversation between an astonished doctor and a miraculously unscathed Dunne ... it's a measure of Shyamalan's restraint and his uncanny knack for storytelling.. Samuel L. Jackson plays a comic-book-art collector named Elijah, as in the prophet, and his stare could probably burn a hole through Superman's Fortress of Solitude.. Readers familiar with the book may negotiate the film's antic crosscutting, but newbies will need to pop a Dramamine before the lights dim.. One can't help but ...

What was [Shyamalan] thinking? This isn't just duff, it's career-threatening catastrophic.. Crazy as this might sound, it turns out that self-indulgent rambl...
