The Last House on the Left (2009) Fuld Streaming

A shockingly mundane disappointment taken on its own and a deeply misguided refraction of the original.. Boy, words can not express how much I just loathe and detest this movie.. This remake plods to its finale.. Unlike the slew of Michael Bay- produced slasher remakes, this is not an idea-free flick. And Craven (shepherding producer on this remake) believes in character. More, he believes, in engaging what the word "horror" means.. Stripped of that sociological context, the extreme brutality he...

The Departed (2006) Se Fuld Film

You'll have to go back to GoodFellas to find a Marty movie this fun, this enamored of language, of ethnic slurs, of "Gimme Shelter," of explosive violence. Scorsese's return to form is the year's most dynamic film. Really, how could it not be?. [A] glorious mess of a movie.. After a pair of flawed Oscar-hunting epics, Martin Scorsese has returned to the gritty, violent mob drama that has always been his strong suit, and the result -- The Departed -- is his best film since 1990's Goodfellas.. The...

Coherence (2013) Spille Streaming

The Rod Serling tension Byrkit is angling for never quite arrives, nor does any real Borgesian frisson.. [Byrkit's] premise has Bunuelian potential, but too often he settles for the shocks of a Twilight Zone episode.. Coherence is a gentle film, but you walk away from it with your brain on fire.. An ingenious micro-budget science-fiction nerve-jangler which takes place entirely at a suburban dinner party, Coherence is a testament to the power of smart ideas and strong ensemble acting over expens...

Ocean's Thirteen (2007) Se Streaming

Hilarity-free.. From such harrowing beginnings, it's rather awesome what an entertaining film Danny Boyle has made with "127 Hours.". . . The nightmare becomes a tribute to Ralston's bravery -- without casting him as a hero. He just got tired of waiting to die and decided to live.. It's a movie worth seeing, even when it's barely watchable.. Flat, abstruse, predictable and unable to raise your pulse rate higher than a blip on an EKG.. It's a great looking movie.. "127 Hours," about an unimaginab...

RockNRolla (2008) Spille Film

. It's a sad experience to watch RocknRolla, the obituary for the Guy Ritchie brand of English gangster flicks.. This exuberant exercise in pretzel-plotted crime capers is a ridiculously entertaining piece of nonsense, devoid of all the attempts at psychological complexity and philosophical navel-gazing that bogged down Revolver.. Faster, leaner and more compact than the original.. Save your quarters for the video game.. A remake of the 1978 George Romero cult-classic, it has no purpose of its o...

Sinister 2 (2015) Online Streaming

Sinister 2 doesn't know what it wants to be, and doesn't add up to much.. This sequel, as rough as it is, might be more worthwhile than its 2012 original.. Baghuul ... looks like the lead singer in a Norwegian forest metal band.. Nothing in Sinister 2 comes across as believably scary.. Nothing about "Sinister 2" comes close to the feel-bad ode to literally and figuratively dark interiors that distinguished the title-earning original.. Sinister 2 comes up a bit short on creative resources, althou...

Amnesiac (2015) Fuld Streaming

Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. 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.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action mo...
