Foxcatcher (2014) Ladda Ner Hela

You want to know where it's headed. But the movie is so chiseled down and sculpted that even once it gets there (you know when), it's unclear that it's earned it.. Carell is immersed in the role, completely convincing. Tatum also is outstanding.. . You can write the script yourself, just think nursery school. Then simplify.. It's not as good as the 1974 original, or even as good as the 2001 British soccer remake of Yard, Mean Machine. But there are bright spots.. A misguided, miscast remake of t...

Coach Carter (2005) Fullständig Strömning

The basketball footage is often thrilling, the camera whooshing through the action like a darting point guard.. Cage fighting is not inherently funny. In fact, it's the opposite of funny, something like cock fighting only with people, and this presents a problem the movie never completely overcomes.. Saved by bursts of energy and inventiveness.. By the time you leave, Jackson will have you believing that his Coach Carter is a true original.. It delivers exactly what's expected from a flabby mish...

Bilar (2006) Ladda Ner Film

No other outfit can match Pixar's knack for plucking heartstrings without tearing them off the frets.. It thunders ahead with breezy abandon, scoring big grins on its way.. Cars made me want to hop in my jalopy and to head out to Route 66, bypassing the boring interstate highways that made the Mother Road redundant.. Like the Toy Story films, Cars is a state-of-the-computer-art plea on behalf of outmoded, wholesome fifties technology, with a dash of Zen by way of George Lucas.. Quietly quite mag...

Draft Day (2014) Online Streaming

The Final Season (2007) Titta Hela Filmen

. Star and executive producer Sean Astin must have hoped for another Rudy with this based-on-a-true-story sports picture, but The Final Season is actually an impassioned plea against school consolidation.. 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.. Poor writing, an indifferent production and sincere but often wooden acting make Season one big strikeout.. Why is it enjoyable...

Lucky You (2007) Fullständig Strömning

. Lucky You is hardly Mr. Hanson's strongest effort, but it does contain many of his saving graces: a warm regard for his characters, an unhurried pace for his narrative and a grown-up sense of morality.. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, Lucky You does play a bit long. It's probably about two hours longer than it needs to be.. Movies, like poker, can result in some unexpected combinations. Who knew, for example, that the director of L.A. Confidential and the screenwriter of The Insider and Munich, wor...
