Passion (2012) Spille Streaming

it will no doubt find its boosters. What we have here is a tale of lust, deception, manipulation and murder. Quintessential De Palma, in other words.. This tarted-up English-language remake affords some modestly campy pleasures, but lacks the delirious trash-horror verve of De Palma's best work.. After the clinically dull first half, it's more desperate pantry raid than feast.. Those who submit to the movie's spell may well find themselves giddy at how viscerally and confidently an old master ca...

Saw III (2006) Online Streaming

The movie's engine is the relationships and the characters' inner lives, all of it boiling with emotional intensity.. Asia is seizing another of our taken-for-granted, creatively neglected staples, the cop movie, and again shows us how relevant and entertaining it can be when given proper respect.. Just like its increasingly wan antihero, this blood-soaked series is on its last legs.. Everything you'd want in a police action thriller: powerhouse performances, Grade A production values, a good sc...

Den lyserøde Panter (2006) Fuld Streaming

This movie leaves us with the stale whiff of fake nostalgia and something even more odoriferous: the smell of money.. it doesn't stink. Au contraire: It's good. Maybe not a masterwork, but good enough to redeem the series and its intrepid, mustachioed twit.. . Martin (who also co-wrote the screenplay) is so uninspired and dull in this witless movie, he almost -- almost -- makes you long for Adam Sandler.. What is the point?. The trouble is the movie has little to offer except Martin's set pieces...

Sinister 2 (2015) Download Fuld

One of the best movies of 2012 so far, in any genre.. Mara's Lisbeth can be brashly young and impossibly smart. It's a performance that should well serve the upcoming sequels.. Not a moment of Sinister 2 is convincing or frightening, mostly due to the uber-stilted child acting and the flat, overlit visual palette, which pales in comparison to what Derrickson and cinematographer Chris Norr achieved on the shadow-laden first film.. Nothing about "Sinister 2" comes close to the feel-bad ode to lite...

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...
