Alexander (2004) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

It's boring here and exciting there. And it's almost always goofy.. 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.. . . At a reported cost of $155 million, Alexander qualifies as a super-spectacle in every respect but one -- namely in its neurotic, confused and sexually ambidextrous hero.. Here's something I never expected to say about a big-budget Oliver Stone film starring Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie an...

Safe House (2012) Beobachten Film

Pompeii has as much to do with realism and history as the average gas station has with gourmet cuisine and fine dining. If you're hankering for something substantive, you'll leave hungry.. "Safe House" has just enough bone density to emit some satisfying cracks and pops whenever the action gets going.. White House Down is the kind of celebration of rampant mayhem in which everyone seems to have a rocket launcher -- or at least a live hand grenade -- at the ready, just in case they need to dispat...

Dragon Blade (2015) Download Film

"Non-Stop" spends so much time trying to outwit the audience it ends up outwitting itself.. It's kind of a mess. That more than 20 minutes have been trimmed for the stateside release may have hurt the film's coherence, but viewers will be thankful for the shorter sit.. Busier, funnier, and more involving.. An epic in China, it's been trimmed here in the States. But this movie didn't need a cut, it needed a beheading.. Why demand logic of an action movie released in February, when audiences just ...

The Gunman (2015) Download Voll

The only redeeming feature about The Gunman is its exotic locations.. Penn and his fellow actors are fine at conversation, but there are more dialogue-driven subplots here than a movie full of bullets and land mines requires.. As Balian, a blacksmith turned Crusader, Orlando Bloom should embody a character who passes through some sort of transforming crucible. Yet he learns nothing.. I doubt The Gunman will do much to advance Penn's foray into action-hero bankability, and that's probably a good ...

The November Man (2014) Online-Streaming-

It's called "The November Man," but it's really just another forgettable August release.. Though the battles have the blood-and-sinew bravado you expect from Oliver Stone, this three-hour buttnumbathon is hamstrung by a hectoring grandiosity, not new to Stone, and a nod toward caution, which is.. Director Roger Donaldson has had his ups and downs over the past few years; the script for this lodges somewhere in the middle, though he compensates for its lack of distinction through sheer velocity a...

Hot Fuzz - Zwei abgewichste Profis (2007) Film Abspielen

Alexander, as expressed through the weepy histrionics of Colin Farrell, is more like a desperate housewife than a soldier.. When The November Man stays pulpy, its cheesier aspects-like a low-rent supporting cast and a gratuitous sex scene-seem like par for the course. When it turns more serious, so do its failings.. Pegg and Wright are armed with an endlessly impressive arsenal of attention grabbers, from witty editing tricks to a wry soundtrack and a joke-packed script that demands multiple vie...

White House Down (2013) Online-Streaming-

Emmerich is an old hand at blowing up the White House and finds new wings as well as other national monuments to destroy: They blow up real good.. The essential climate of the movie - the climate of hysteria, dysfunction and mendacity, backed up by an enduring, essentially optimistic and arguably idiotic culture of popular patriotism ... feels strikingly authentic to our historical moment.. Wonderfully orchestrated, mindless, summer-action fun.. Pompeii has as much to do with realism and history...

Pompeii (2014) Download Voll

Is it wrong to root for the volcano?. If there were a hint of a sense of play or humor in the filmmaking, beyond a briefly amusing moment of comeuppance for a foppish slaveowner, Pompeii might be a fun February diversion instead of a dull, eye-rolling slog.. No matter how much lava is afoot, there's always time to impale one more person with a sword.. Harington transformed his body for the role, but here's the real disaster: His startlingly defined six-pack abs are the most memorable part of his...

Königreich der Himmel (2005) Download Film

The movie has a few cute moments, but for the most part it's as predictable as being bored in trigonometry.. Since we barely know what's at stake -- we're too confused and bored to care -- all this fighting means nothing to us, and yet Scott still hopes to rev us up with it.. . This mashup of a teenage assassin lark and high school misfit comedy misses the chance to add a supercool heroine to pop culture.. To say that Scott did a beautiful job directing Kingdom of Heaven would be true, but it wo...

Last Samurai (2003) Download Film

Despite its intelligent agenda, swollen heart and fabulously epic surface, amounts to a didactic banality: a white guy's politically correct lesson abroad.. All of these characters, and the richly detailed backdrops, are utterly immersive and lifelike - even without the completely unnecessary 3-D.. It's easy to stand back and wax ironic about The Last Samurai. But it's not all that difficult to succumb to its full-spirited romanticism either.. Suffers from a convoluted plot and an anticlimactic ...

King Arthur (2004) Film Abspielen

. Forget all that accuracy business and just enjoy the movie for what it is: a large-scale, passably engrossing tale of valiant knights doing valiant deeds.. 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.. Profoundly stupid and inept, but it's an endless source of giggles.. This middling King Arthur doesn't waste time developing character -- or coherence -- when a big, joyless, ...

Der Patriot (2000) Film-Streaming

Has matched, if not eclipsed, the power and scope of 1994's Pulp Fiction.. . Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is self-indulgent, overwrought, shallow and ridiculous. It is also brilliant, a blast of cinematic lunacy and as much of a guilty pleasure as the schlocky movies Tarantino adores.. Even more gory and adolescent than its models, which explains both the fun and the unpleasantness of this globe-trotting romp.. There is no ironic overlay in Tarantino's movies, no 'commenting' on the pop schlock he's replic...
