Smokin' Aces (2007) Fuld Streaming

It wants to be a Tarantino-esque dark comedy about gun-slinging, substance-abusing lowlifes. But instead it's a convoluted, slap-happy, humorless bloodfest.. By going back to its origins and dusting itself off, the King Arthur story has proved itself to have a very contemporary resonance.. Smokin' Aces may be packing a lot of heat but its unnecessarily convoluted story means it's mostly a lot of hot air.. May the gods protect us from modernists messing with our myths.. Anyone with a brain bigger...

The Purge: Anarki (2014) Se Streaming

For most of the film, returning writer-director James DeMonaco favors gore and shock inserts of music over the edgy, nasty parody for which the material seems ready made.. You'd expect the sequel to be an improvement based on production values alone, and you would be right, but not by much.. "The Purge: Anarchy" is a dirtied-up breath of fresh air, an old-school exploitation movie that does what it sets out to do.. "The Purge: Anarchy" obeys a cardinal law of Hollywood: Shoot first and ask quest...

The Fast and the Furious (2001) Spille Streaming

At 28, Garfield's slightly older than Maguire was when he played Peter Parker in 2002, but his combination of fresh-faced innocence, nervous agitation and wry humor is immediately appealing.. Works hard to be exciting, but the movie scarcely lives up to its title.. While Gerard Butler is no Bruce Willis, his Mike Banning is a better facsimile of John McClane than the guy Willis is pretending to play these days.. "Olympus Has Fallen" at least possesses the frisson of timeliness amid otherwise hoa...

The Equalizer (2014) Download Fuld

A tense thriller that also has more on its mind than the familiar genre constraints it operates under.. Mr. Fuqua, while not the world's most subtle filmmaker, directs the action sequences with bluntness and clarity and effectively uses his star as an oasis of calm in a jumpy, nasty universe.. Fuqua infuses The Equalizer with a low-key energy and is in no hurry to rush into things.. Just having Washington in the title role elevates the film from a tired rerun - complete with (yawn) brutal Russia...

The Book of Eli (2010) Se Fuld Film

A spectacular work of unhinged moviemaking.. A movie weighed down by a numbskull screenplay (by rookie Gary Whitta) and a careless lack of attention to details.. Stock markets, bank accounts, and NSA sites aren't the only thing being hacked in Blackhat. The whole thing reeks of hackery.. One of the most visually unattractive movies I've ever seen.. Another silly cyber-thriller, almost saved by an intense Hemsworth and some bruising action.. While the religious content makes itself felt, sometime...

Sherlock Holmes (2009) Spille Film

There are many splendid reasons to see Snow White and the Huntsman - enough, maybe, not to care that neither Snow White nor the Huntsman rank high among them.. The film does a good job of presenting in bloody detail the misdeeds of a misanthrope while italicizing his underdeveloped artistic abilities, but it is obtuse when it comes to character development.. Though purists may balk at Arthur Conan Doyle's literary world being manhandled into a blockbuster by never-subtle director Guy Ritchie, Do...

A Knight's Tale (2001) Spille Film

Instead of pulling young audiences imaginatively back into the past, A Knight's Tale cheapens the process by demonstrating that there's no essential difference between then and now.. A Knight's Tale should be ridiculous, and it is: ridiculously entertaining.. A solidly entertaining popcorn movie.. Take it for what it is and you'll find it quite enjoyable, especially if you're a female between 9 and, oh, 79.. . The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe -- and not as much fun as either.. . It will r...
