Burn After Reading (2008) Spille Film

<p>Burn After Reading is neither an instant classic like No Country for Old Men nor a psychedelic playground like The Big Lebowski. But it is a Coen brothers kick in the pants.. While the plot avoids the most obvious happy-ending cliches, it stays unnecessarily close to the pimps 'n hos mythology of crunk hits, and that's particularly discomfiting if you happen to believe that women are people, too.. [Tom Cruise has] never been this convincingly wicked.. Hustle & Flow has a heart that beats as loud... <div id="rmore">0887883</div></p>

The Gunman (2015) Download Fuld

<p>The actors are good and the action is thrilling. And if the film isn't quite as seriously political as I'm guessing Penn told himself it was, it's definitely an offbeat change of pace for us.. I object to The Gunman because it's unconvincing and incoherent.. Rarely, though, have two Academy Award-winning actors been so stunningly off the mark in the same movie.. A dum-dum action picture that briefly pretends to be about world aid before returning to muscular, middle-aged men beating the snot out... <div id="rmore">2515034</div></p>

La French (2014) Fuld Film Streaming

<p>Gangster movies should not be mildly interesting.. A procedural epic whose complicated narrative is propelled by visceral action sequences and an unusually thrilling soundtrack.. Jimenez adopts a vintage-kitsch sensibility, taking a disappointingly generic approach to his hard-to-follow narrative.. Riveting from its first moments, "The Connection" is fascinating in its presentation of character, as well as for its glimpse into the workings of an international drug empire and into the ways an ima... <div id="rmore">2935564</div></p>

Ocean's Thirteen (2007) Spille Streaming

<p>Why put so much sheen on a movie that warrants and provokes nothing more than mild diversion? It's like serving sloppy joes on fine china.. Something seems to be off when the actors onscreen are having a better time than the audience. Just like the first Ocean's film, this isn't so much a movie as a private party.. . Being an urban dance movie, guns make their appearance, along with every stereotype about hip-hop or the young. Don't believe the hype. Just watch them dance.. For a movie about dan... <div id="rmore">0496806</div></p>

Dogville (2003) Download Film

<p>Dogville is a love-it-or- hate-it experience, but one that will fill a large space in any viewer's imagination.. Yes, it plays like a baldfaced, brazen insult, but it is a stunningly accomplished one.. Dogville can be defended and even praised on pure ideological grounds, but most moviegoers, even those who are sophisticated and have open minds, are going to find it a very dry and unsatisfactory slog through conceits masquerading as ideas.. Dogville is another round of brazen disrespect from cin... <div id="rmore">0276919</div></p>

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) Download Fuld

<p>The film is so relentlessly bleak that, paradoxically, its blackness is not given its full due. But this comic-book movie is more disturbing, and has more freakish power, than anything else I've seen all year.. Pitched at the divide between art and industry, poetry and entertainment, The Dark Knight goes darker and deeper than any Hollywood movie of its comic-book kind.. Scorsese, as always, knows exactly what he is doing. Although it's long, the movie is never less than entertaining.. "The Wolf... <div id="rmore">0993846</div></p>

Sabotage (2014) Online Streaming

<p>The performers are given stock types to play, and Elba and Dillon, at least, can do a little with that.. Bloody, banal and boasting a surprisingly able clutch of stars who will soon be deleting this from their resumes, Sabotage is a 109-minute cadaver count.. A not-so-thrilling heist thriller that drones along mechanically between explosions and car crashes with Ewan McGregor, who is making entirely too many movies these days, none of them worth writing home about.. I don't know what Ayer is try... <div id="rmore">1742334</div></p>
