Escobar: Paradise Lost (2014) Film-Streaming
Escobar: Paradise Lost, as promising as it often is, feels like two barely connected half-movies.. One hour of tedious expository flashback followed by one hour of solidly exciting present-tense thriller action.. Benicio del Toro is a looming, larger…
Eat, Pray, Love (2010) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-
Eat Pray Love is mostly a slog; never giving us a compelling reason why its heroine does what she does, or how she became quite so tiresomely self- absorbed.. the actual give-and-take between the characters is uncomfortably emotionally accurate, whic…
Like Crazy (2011) Beobachten Film
This indie drama starts off as a sexy little date movie, but once the lovers have been separated it grows steadily more complicated and mature.. It's imperative for director and co-writer Drake Doremus to color the film with a great deal of blossomin…
45 Years (2015) Download Film
The Princess and the Frog is so in synch with the early entries into Disney's so-called "second golden age" that one wonders how the company could have gotten away from these movies in the first place.. While dance purists won't be impressed by the e…
In Your Eyes (2014) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Tatsächlich... Liebe (2003) Download Film
A highly engineered puffball.. It's too busy with too many stories to tell. But there's so much heart and silly fun and genuine sentiment here, delivered by an A-list of Brit and American talent that it's hard to fault.. This is cloying, deceitful, a…
King Kong (2005) Film Abspielen
It starts too slowly and suffers from weak dialogue and less-than-epic acting. But as popcorn movies go, this is the year's popcorniest.. The father-daughter subplot packs all the emotional heft of Madonna's Papa Don't Preach video.. Too big for its …
The Lucky One - Für immer der Deine (2012) Download Film
Logan's opening voice-over describes how fate can throw one's life off-course, but nothing about the film that follows strays from Sparks' well-established tear-jerking formula.... Efron acquits himself reasonably well. Is he sexy enough to make cred…
Brautalarm (2011) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Hitch - Der Date Doktor (2005) Download Film
Smith, of course, is so cool he can afford to pretend to be uncool; but what really works for him here is the interplay with James, whose inner-wild-man dance moves alone are worth the price of admission.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really w…
Before Sunset (2004) Streaming-

Walk the Line (2005) Voll Streaming

Before We Go (2015) Film-Streaming
Slight and familiar but sweet enough for Saturday night, Before We Go is the umpteenth re-up of Brief Encounter, not that there's anything wrong with that.. A nice-looking package will only get you so far, and the insubstantiality of this actor-drive…
Die Gärtnerin von Versailles (2015) Beobachten Film
The story comes to life only fitfully, even with - or perhaps because of - its court intrigue and supporting characters both hissable (Helen McCrory as Andre's wife) and flamboyant (Stanley Tucci as the king's bisexual brother).. Mr. Rickman has foun…
Wenn ich bleibe (2014) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Unterwegs nach Cold Mountain (2003) Film-Streaming

Hautnah (2004) Streaming-

Prince of Persia - Der Sand der Zeit (2010) Film Abspielen

Aloha - Die Chance auf Glück (2015) Download Film
Filmmaker Cameron Crowe can't catch a break with Aloha, a Hawaii-set romcom that is a handful of stories struggling for a unifying tone, but is nowhere near as toxic as its advance buzz.. "Aloha" isn't horrible, but it does have a pitiable odor about…
Jane Eyre (2011) Download Film

The Fountain (2006) Film-Streaming

Die nackte Wahrheit (2009) Download Film
