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...

Anna Karenina (2012) Download Voll

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.. Often deliberately arch and formal, the performers have been instructed to emphasize the overwrought theatricality of Anna's disapproving social set. What doesn't emerge is Anna's passion. Panic is more like it.. Though the battles have the blood-and-sinew bravado you expect from Oliver Stone, this three-hour buttnumbathon is hamstrung by a hectoring grandiosi...

The New World (2005) Voll Streaming

These whispered ruminations are beautifully written, but whose voice are we hearing?. The New World is a poetic force at once wrenching and soothing.. Malick is so content to tell the tale through mood that he neglects its meaning.. The New World isn't Terrence Malick's best, but it's guiding him in the right direction.. . A Terence Malick film remains an event, but he appears awfully disoriented in The New World -- less a seasoned traveller than a perplexed tourist, content to mask his confusio...

It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Golden's straightforwardly involving prose, while no great shakes, has been replaced by an extremely fussy affair that is, in effect, its own silk-wrapped pictorial novelization.. ... good-looking but not quite memorable .... Memoirs of a Geisha isn't just drop-dead beautiful, it's cinematically alive with a spirited way that makes most contrivances forgivable.. This is a strange failing for the tag team who has handled the wounded so well in previous outings.. Co-directors Ryan Fleck and Anna B...

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...

Einfach zu haben (2010) Film-Streaming

A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Whatever else it accomplishes, the sassy high school comedy Easy A commands attention for the irresistible presence of Emma Stone, playing a good girl who pretends to be bad.. As for Emma Stone, she didn't have to win me over. She conquered me from the first A.. It makes with the clever dialogue and it does present a world where a young woman takes charge and triumphs over peer pressure, but the filmmakers were either too lazy or inept ...

Das Märchen der Märchen (2015) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. 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!!. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convinci...
