Step Up 3D (2010) Beobachten Film

While director Jon M. Chu's acrobatic cast proves adept at moonwalks and break-dances -- and even tangos and tap -- not a one displays anything even closely approximating charisma.. The main reason to see Step Up 3D is for the high-energy dancing and innovative camerawork, and on those points it delivers.. Even by the standards of the current run of mediocre comic-book movies, this one stands out for its egregious shoddiness.. The superhero genre is the home-court of the underdog, of skinny Pete...

Pompeii (2014) Film-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.. Narrative has never been Anderson's strength; the story here is a corny overhaul of James Cameron's already-corny Titanic.. Hayek swings for the fences, but none of the gags she's tasked with delivering are funny, not even when she desperately pantomimes various breathless expressions men make when they orgasm.. Music perfectly fit...

Alexander (2004) Film Abspielen

Seems too puny and fragmented for its mighty subject; it feels as if Stone, for the first time in his career, simply ran out of hot air.. It's boring here and exciting there. And it's almost always goofy.. . Alexander, as expressed through the weepy histrionics of Colin Farrell, is more like a desperate housewife than a soldier.. Farrell plays all this as if he means it, but he seems slight in the role and without great physical presence.. As huge a travesty and a bore as 1956's Alexander the Gr...

King Kong (2005) Download Film

Jackson took a huge risk with King Kong. But the movie that no film lover wanted him to make is sure to become the blockbuster that everyone is going to want to see, and with good reason.. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. Good things do come in big packages. The trick for any filmmaker is to find the small movie within the big one, which is exactly what Peter Jackson does in King Kong.. A movie can have a sup...

Zwei an einem Tag (2011) Film Abspielen

Half-campy, half-compelling.. As so often happens with love, what you hope for is not even close to what you get, and in this case we are left with a heartbreaking disappointment of a film.. The film might make the book look less astute and interesting than it is, but it still has an undeniable emotional wallop by its close.. Rhythmically, athletically and energetically, Step Up 3D does not disappoint.. No popular storyteller ever went broke stoking the undying female fantasy that if a good woma...

Tage am Strand (2013) Film-Streaming

I liked "The Five-Year Engagement," and then I didn't, and then I did - which seems just about right for a movie dedicated to examining how even the purest affections can be fatally derailed.. This is a watchable but rather drab romcom which relies too often on Apatow-school cliche.. Sometimes uneven and sometimes beyond gross, but more often it's funny, smart and different.. Some of the comedic material provokes laughter and some doesn't, but nearly all of it feels wrong. It's as if the jokes h...

Monte Cristo (2002) Download Voll

This new movie version of the Alexandre Dumas classic is the stuff of high romance, brought off with considerable wit.. The movie won't change your life or grab a fistful of Oscar nominations come next winter. But it will make you laugh, hard and often, and it proves that sometimes girls just want to have fun.. It's not a movie for people looking for a decorous night at the movies. It is a film, though, for folks eager for some good dirty jokes, some refreshingly real female characters - and, ju...

Singh is Bling (2015) Film-Streaming

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. 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!!. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself ...

Dido Elizabeth Belle (2014) Voll Streaming

[The movie] is so determined to be moral and good and optimistically anti-tragic that it forgets to be interesting, original, and illuminating.. The film simply looks lovely, never moreso than when Mbatha-Raw is on screen.. Dramatizing a passion for the written word on film can be tricky, but in his feverish Kill Your Darlings, first-time director John Krokidas brings creative desire to life with vigor and emotion.. A good-looking and exceedingly polite film where perhaps a more complex one with...

Maleficent - Die dunkle Fee (2014) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

A keeper of a film, quietly dazzling. Every generation deserves its own version of Peter Pan. Until the next one arrives in 2019 or so, this one will do nicely.. Jonze encourages our awe at the mysteries of life even if they arrive in the form of technology.. It's an odd, sad love story, combined with a meditation on technology as an accelerator of social loneliness. Not a small part of it seems to be an allegory of lonely guys and their fear of women.. If, as you go into the theater, you hear p...

The Tourist (2010) Beobachten Film

To battle the logic of the film would be to swat flies in a hurricane.. So deficient in the genre's essentials - such as witty dialogue, intriguing characters and surprising yet credible plot turns - that you're embarrassed for everyone involved.. Star power can cover up a multitude of shortcomings in a film. Turns out stupidity isn't one of them.. In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap.. ... it's a bit of a shock to see this caliber of star po...

Chroniken der Unterwelt - City of Bones (2013) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

"Inherent Vice" is an aggressively weird movie, which you should take not as a warning but as a compliment and an invitation to see it, to let its stoner vibes wash all over you.. Joaquin Phoenix is perfectly cast as the perpetually befuddled Doc, a private detective of sorts who immerses himself in pot in the Los Angeles of 1970.. The picture is all over the map. Nothing coheres.. Anderson moves further from conventional storytelling with each new film, and closer to something more intuitive, m...

This woefully botched mystery-adventure-thriller-caper-romance-comedy, or whatever it was meant to be, is no fun at all.. In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap.. As for Depp, his character makes so little sense that he can hardly be blamed for blinking his way through the movie with an expression of blank-faced puzzlement that recalls Dan Quayle in the 1988 vice-presidential debate.. . The movie, directed without a personal stamp of any kind b...

Sweet Home Alabama - Liebe auf Umwegen (2002) Voll Streaming

A romantic comedy so rote, dull and predictable that it makes You've Got Mail seem innovative and fresh.. As predictable as a Florida election controversy, as wholly amusing as a cold plate of grits.. [A] cacophonous, frivolous adaptation of Ubisoft's Arabian Nights-themed video-game series.. . Despite her relentless vim and winsome facial symmetry, Witherspoon is just too dialed-up to be America's Sweetheart..

The Lovers (2015) Beobachten Film

As one of the film's many forgettable characters so eloquently puts it, "This stinks worse than an oyster's fart.". It's so deadly and unintentionally funny (I hope) that it practically defies description. Mr. Joffe should go back to film school as soon as possible.. Suckers for romance likely won't complain, but this Josh Hartnett time-travel epic is nuts.. It's hard to root for love to bloom between a stock Strong Female Character and the nicest man in history.. Time may bring good things to l...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

The idea of a revenge comedy isn't necessarily a bad one, Bride Wars simply fails at it despite having the formidable duo of Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, who in their own distinctive ways usually command the screen.. Very good.. Even if you can get past the boneheaded premise, the picture feels halfhearted in its construction.. Their much-hyped kiss-kiss, bang-bang movie is an expensive time-waster, full of slow-motion explosions and big-scene payoffs that turn out to be duds.. The studio must...

She's the Man - Voll mein Typ (2006) Voll Streaming

As was proven with 10 Things I Hate about You, it is possible to re-imagine the Bard in a modern high school setting, but She's the Man doesn't do it well.. An intoxicating spectacle that breathes new life into the classic Tolstoy novel, incorporating the notion that all life's a stage -- at least for imperial Russian society.. She's the Man retains much of Twelfth Night's discombobulation and many of its names but is aimed, unlike the original, at the cherry-lip-gloss demographic.. Often delibe...

Serena (2014) Film-Streaming

In other words, a lot of people realized they had an epic clunker on their hands.. Densely packed and gorgeously expressionist, the old-fashioned tragedy is very nearly a satisfying experience despite its various shortcomings.. The film is haunted by a sense that something was overlooked in translation from the book.. A solidly entertaining popcorn movie.. Both actors, gracefully dressed and lightly anguished, draw deep on their professional aplomb in a bid to keep a straight face; the credible,...

Ritter aus Leidenschaft (2001) Film-Streaming

A very 2011 take on Alexandre Dumas' classic that feels weirdly dated already.. It will rock you -- straight to sleep.. Essentially, it's a screenful of pseudo-medieval popcorn that hits a high enough level of goofy fun to transcend a pretty blatant marketing strategy aimed at the MTV demographic.. In the worst possible case, this could go on and on, but please, let's hope it doesn't.. Take it for what it is and you'll find it quite enjoyable, especially if you're a female between 9 and, oh, 79....
