Schwer verliebt (2001) Download Film

[Tornatore] eludes sentimentality with a romantic vision wide enough to embrace the range of human experience.. Its heart is in the right place.. Not only light on laughs but discomfitingly didactic in its disgust.. [Bellucci] has presence, maybe even talent, but you wish that Malena's inner life had been given as much accent as her outer charms.. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the best of the movie, and there isn't really that much good stuff to go around.. . Created in the broadest st...

Slumdog Millionär (2008) Download Voll

Chokes on its own artifice.. Disappointing because it could have been so much more.. A film as unpredictable as the love it celebrates -- you keep falling in and out of this giddy affair.. The film dances; the heart sings.. Boyle takes his wildly high-energy visual aesthetic and applies it to a story that, at its core, is rather sweet and traditionally crowdpleasing.. None of this would matter much if this movie wasn't anchored by a star turn, and Streep delivers yet another in a career full of ...

Auf der Suche nach einem Freund fürs Ende der Welt (2012) Download Film

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World offers the beats of a series of bad news / worse news jokes. This is not necessarily a good thing.. Scafaria, who made such a splash with her cheeky screenplay adaptation of "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" in 2008, is simply over her head here.. Unsure whether it wants to be a quirky, sad-eyed indie pixie or a brassy, raunchy broad, it veers uneasily between the two, never quite settling into a comfortable or recognizable groove.. It's solid and affec...

Sex and the City - Der Film (2008) Beobachten Film

I walked into the theatre hoping for a nice evening and came out as a hard-line Marxist, my head a whirl of closets, delusions, and blunt-clawed cattiness. All the film lacks is a subtitle: The Lying, the Bitch, and the Wardrobe.. If Sex and the City is a hit, it will be partly because it's an enjoyable and somewhat true depiction of female friendship. But grown women will also go to see it because, finally, someone made a movie for them.. This celebration with Carrie & Co. — very much tel...

She's Out of My League is a rowdy blast because the spiky young cast treats the played-out script like virgin territory. That's acting!. The movie's terrific -- it's easily my favorite film released so far this year.. While Baruchel is fun to root for and watch flail about like a pipe-cleaner in the wind, this movie encourages a sick desire in me - to see Michael Cera and all the runners-up in the Mr. Puniverse Contest knocked down a peg.... The movie also does well to let the supporting charact...

The Fountain (2006) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Lurches on a thin line between hyper-ornate space oddity and extended perfume advert.. The Fountain is the story of a gifted artist who dared to reach for the stars and paid for his ambition with a really stupid movie.. For every flaw, though, the movie has a strength.. I'm perfectly content to float with [Aronofsky] even if he doesn't solve the riddles of the universe.. A tagline has been affixed to the campaign -- 'What if you could live forever?' -- and it has a certain resonance, especially ...

Fincher's visual mastery and Pitt's charisma almost compensate for a gimmick in search of a meaning. The more time Fincher gives viewers with Button, the thinner the character grows.. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button leaves you colder than it should, and it shouldn't leave you cold at all.. With a running time of almost three slow-going hours, the movie definitely makes you feel as though you're aging forward.. Benjamin Button is little more than Gump by way of Dorian Gray. It plays too safe ...

Crimson Peak is a fascinating conundrum of a movie. I was close...
