Hector and the Search for Happiness (2014) Fullständig Strömning

This year's entry in the Movies You Admire and Respect but Don't Ever Want to Watch Again Sweepstakes.. How could anything so bleak be so promising?. Spoiler alert: Happiness has to do with loving others and self-acceptance.. A title card says this King Arthur, grimly directed by Antoine Fuqua, is based on the latest research into the mythic past. Maybe so. But one can't help thinking the research that really counted was that into the more recent box-office charts.. If this is history demystifie...

Outcast (2014) Ladda Ner Film

It is as if Michael Bay was saying "You think I've blown stuff up before? Ha-ha. Wait till you see this.". The simplest thing Bay could have done to clarify the stakes of the robot wars would be to visually distinguish the robots from one another in some way. Armbands? Shirts and skins? "Hello, My Name Is" stickers?. A China-set, 12th-century action drama that cuts with the blatancy of a broadsword.. Bay seems to think that just showing us a bunch of brightly clashing metallic limbs (accompanied...

X-Men 2 (2003) Online Streaming

Bigger and more ambitious in every respect, from its action and visceral qualities to its themes.. Very much a Hollywood production -- formulaic, made for marketing and never quite as inspired as it could have been.. The film settles into a succession of ritual spoofs of the kung fu genre, and peddles the sort of cloying preachments about self-esteem and human potential -- panda potential -- that little kids hear all the time on TV.. A master [course] in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying e...

The Kings of Summer (2013) Ladda Ner Film

A thoroughly, sometimes gaggingly broad and sly conceptual laugh-in.. Shot through with a bold, extravagant generosity of spirit, this journey behind the literal and figurative looking glass marks a gratifying return to form for Gilliam, whose recent films haven't quite lived up to his capacities.. Black and Cera posed in cave-man outfits for an amusing poster. Then the movie was brought forth and things went downhill.. There is much here to admire, but the overall impression is of a film that d...

True Grit (2010) Titta Hela Filmen

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 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.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Music perfectly fit...

9 (2009) Online Streaming

It's easy to see why Acker's gifts caught the attention of these directors; he's a visual craftsman of no little promise. Now if he can just stitch together a story with the same loving care that went into creating those digital burlap dolls.... 9 is a captivating film with much to say about the human spirit -- even if humans are nowhere to be found.. Acker has created a fitful combination of beautiful, dreamlike images that never knit together forcefully enough to seem individual or convincing....
