Geständnisse - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

Not only intriguing as a story but great to look at, a marriage of bright pop images from the 1960s and 1970s and dark, cold spyscapes that seem to have wandered in from John le Carre.. The movie makes a case for itself through sheer oddness and perversity.. This somber, draggy movie, which is nothing like the breezy, lunatic comedy its TV ads promise, takes Barris' claims at face value and plays them for stone-faced drama.. Clooney makes a sharply entertaining directorial debut.. Clooney, who o...

The Walk (2015) Film-Streaming

The acting is unarguably, uniformly strong.. With all the talent on board here, expectations go beyond creepiness; unfortunately creepiness is about as far as the movie ultimately goes.. Expect the worst from the first half- that's before Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) strings up a wire between the World Trade Center towers. But then, oh, baby, does this movie fly.. A redemptive fable at once artful, elegant, and clean. But by stripping out any and all complications, the movie denies itse...

Unbroken (2014) Voll Streaming

Unbroken is a fitting title for this excruciating cinematic treatment of the flyboy's ordeal. It plays like an endless, unrelieved gauntlet of suffering, an onslaught untempered by grace or redemption.. "Unbroken" stirs a moviegoer by default; it's an astounding story of human endurance that has been brought a little too safely to the screen.. I couldn't buy it, and couldn't wait for the hollow spectacle to end.. Given its subject, it should have been great, but it turns out to be simply good.. ...

Edgar Ramirez is electifying as Simon Bolivar, the Venezuelan land owner turned warrior. But even Ramirez cannot liberate this movie from a cliched script..

That's a little like making a film about Henry Ford without ever showing a car.. Thanks to Benjamin's performance and the unique quality of the subject itself, the movie's hard to dismiss.. Benjamin captures Hendrix's nodding swagger, his effortless cool, and most important, his voice - going beyond mimicry into some other, spookier realm.. A hip-looking mess of ...

Control (2007) Streaming-

Director Anton Corbijn seems determined not to let the music get in the way of the human story, and his fervor goes too far.. A steady and moving memorial to a man who rarely felt comfortable in his own skin.. A good movie that falls short of greatness by aping too well the behaviour of its subject -- occasionally brilliant, sometimes mundane.. The movie examines a life -- and a death -- without getting deep about it. The result is oddly exhilarating.. Sam Riley is fascinating as Curtis, a hyper...
