The Voices (2015) Spille Streaming

Stieg Larsson's best-selling crime novel has all the makings of a cinematic thriller. As directed by Niels Arden Oplev in Swedish with English subtitles, Tattoo is mesmerizing.. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo grapples with far more than "whodunit." And it does a handy job of answering that question, too.. A finely plotted, stylishly photographed and brilliantly acted whodunit that clocks in at 2 1/2 hours but never seems long.. A loopy, ghastly, funny, morbid and unforgettable 100 minutes. Noom...

You're Next (2011) Se Fuld Film

By slasher standards, the writing is good, with interesting turns and surprises. And the acting isn't bad, either, though Vinson is the one to remember.. A wickedly clever play on the genre that takes you by the scruff of the neck and drags you through 90 minutes of the most inventive mayhem, murder, and pitch-black comedy you're likely to see this year.. A clever, genuine and crisply chilling take on terror that should appeal to cinephiles and Saturday night popcorn-throwers alike.. It clicks a...

Ocean's Twelve (2004) Spille Streaming

In keeping with his general distaste for sequels -- this is his first, in fact -- Soderbergh has subverted all of the usual conventions, making the movie far more interesting than it has any right to be.. . Some of the bits are hysterical, but others fall flat.. May be one of the most glamorous, goofy and heartfelt films about failure ever made.. While the movie's lack of pretentiousness is refreshing, there's also a nagging sense of laziness to it.. The whole thing is a piffle of fluff or a flu...

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015) Online Streaming

This is a nutty film, and for the most part I mean that in a good way.. Director David Fincher lands a tone for Gone Girl that's broad and precise enough to encourage a series of witty performances within the thriller framework.. Gone Girl thrives on enigma, and the leads embody that quality to wonderful effect.. Knock Knock is a pretty flimsy erotic thriller, but thanks to Reeves' oaken obliviousness it's also got a few moments of deliciously trashy fun.. If you can forgive the failings for at ...

Maggie (2015) Spille Film

The reboot perfectly illustrates the problem that has long haunted mediocre monster movies. When the big, scaly guys are on screen, it's a fun thrill ride. But when the humans are at the center of the action, things get scary - and not in a good way.. Godzilla - both the movie and the big guy - is ... something of a lumpy, lumbering great beast of a thing, lurching from city to city, continent to continent, smackdown to smackdown and plot point to plot point .... It's a tad better than the 1998 ...

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Online Streaming

The results are both dazzling and intimate, clever and - during one tour-de-force sequence - spectacularly funny.. If you are an "X" maniac, Singer's given you the movie you've been hoping for.. If there were a pill that made people smarter, I'd donate an extra supply to the creators of "Limitless.". The plot is about a fearful society whose expansion of its security apparatus has unintended consequences, but Singer doesn't even touch the story's topical resonances... There's also no real moral ...

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) Se Fuld Film

Katniss Everdeen's quandaries and director Francis Lawrence builds suspense through cunning shifts of character in this spiffy second chapter of the trilogy.. The budget is nearly twice the original, and it shows. Great work from the A-list cast, amazing set designs and costumes.. An improvement in almost every way from its pretty decent predecessor.. The new "The Empire Strikes Back," a smashing sci-fi sequel that takes its blockbuster franchise into deeper, smarter, more dramatically engaging ...
