Director Ted Kotcheff has all sorts of trouble with this mess, aside from credibility.. The rapport between the two rogue cineastes is enough to carry both films: the one they're making and the one Jennings is trying to make.. Jennings is clearly having a wonderful time recreating the fantasies of his youth, but sometimes his perspective get a little too inbred, and the picture suffers for it..

Karate Kid (2010) Download Voll

It's a kids' movie, aimed at kids and the people who buy their tickets. And on that level, it doesn't disappoint.. It's as sweet-natured a movie as you could expect about a 12-year-old learning to beat the crap out of his schoolmates.. If the movie's overlong (and it is, by about 20 minutes), it's long for a reason: It gives Dre time to grow.. The Karate Kid indulgently runs 2 hours, 20 minutes, at least a half hour more than it needs, while delivering less fun and inspiration than before.. In a...

"Winnie the Pooh" may not be a movie that grown-ups seek out on their own, but it may make some of them jealous of the 4-year-olds who are making the noble bear's acquaintance for the first time.. This is indeed good old Pooh, nothing to fear. No space robots or serial killers have been added to the cast..

"Maya the Bee" embodies the kind of self-consciously uplifting treacle some adults insist kids want. They package "Maya" like honey, but it tastes like medicine.. This sweet, play-it-safe adaptation of TV's honeybee heroine is as innocuous and uninspired as preschool animation gets.. Lacks the zingy surprise that Pixar or Disney might have brought..

Cascading, colorful 3-D performance sequences are sufficiently dazzling that you'll forgive the bajillionth soundtrack sampling of "Firework.". Despite a script co-written by Noah Baumbach, "Madagascar 3" can't upgrade its own shtick, becoming a craven example of a fast-buck, no-fun family film.. It's silly, and it's lazy.

Stormbreaker (2006) Film-Streaming

Ambitious and enjoyably silly teen thriller.. If they'd given this kid an umbrella, you could guarantee it would rain.. This lame teenage James Bond will leave audiences neither shaken nor stirred.. The result is effective, if too intense for younger children.. The characters lack shadings -- Nolte's ogre is loud but uninteresting -- and the tone of the fantasy world isn't witty, like Harry Potter's, or satirical, like Lemony Snicket's. It's all just silly.. Just when you start to get caught up ...

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.. An entertaining, accomplished movie that shows off what its signature technology can do.... Fun at times and tedious at others, it's an action-adventure fantasy aimed particularly at gadget-loving boys.. A feeble Spy Kids imitation..

Marley & Ich (2008) Streaming-

. The dog -- or the many dogs who play Marley through the years -- also delivers some of the funniest scenes.. Marley & Me turns out to be the best -- and truest -- film about humans and our animals to arrive onscreen in a dog's age.. Though it requires three or four hankies to mop up the mess this sentimental tale leaves behind, the tears feel largely unearned.. Marley's misadventures play like a TV movie, never reaching the heights of such endearing canine-centered films as 2000's My Dog Skip....

Harry Potter und der Gefangene von Askaban (2004) Film-Streaming

A different kind of Harry Potter movie, a better kind.. Miyazaki's nonstop images are so stunning, and his imagination so vivid, that the only possible complaint you could have about Spirited Away is that there is no rest period, no timeout.. A marvelous adventure.. Children may not understand everything that happens -- I'm not sure even Miyazaki himself does -- but they will almost certainly be fascinated, and undoubtedly delighted.. Initially seems like a Through the Looking-Glass fantasy, but...

The law of averages has finally caught up with the most remarkable studio in modern movie history, the dream factory that lived up to Buzz Lightyear's joyous cry of "To infinity and beyond." This frenzied sequel seldom gets beyond mediocrity.. We've come to expect perfection from Pixar, mostly because Pixar expects perfection from itself..

Menacing and meditative, Hallows is arguably the best installment of the planned eight-film franchise, though audiences who haven't kept up with previous chapters will be hopelessly lost.. There's plenty of humor, plenty of magic and even a bit of romantic stress, although there's also quite a bit of mulling and standing about.. The trouble with Harry, as becomes clear from this seventh and penultimate installment, is not that we have lost the plot -- the film is as tangled and as corkscrewed as...

[An] excruciatingly inane high-school comedy inspired by a line of sexually suggestive dolls aimed at 9-year-old girls.. Frivolous, and ultimately forgettable? Of course. But if this movie is about high school tolerance, then superficial teenagers des...

Antarctica - Gefangen im Eis (2006) Voll Streaming

Providing you park your reason outside and let these amazing dogs do the work, which they appear delighted to do, Eight Below is an engaging enough way to spend an hour or two with the kids.. Pity the filmmakers lost their nerve just short of a big payoff.. The movie is overly long and much too intense for small children, yet it's filled with dialogue and plot turns that are too juvenile to thrill adult audiences.. ... the canine cuteness, breathtaking action and acts of bravery are worth bravin...

Happy Feet 2 (2011) Download Voll

Flushed Away subsumes its British charm with an aggressive American pace and more obvious body-function humour, and the film shows evidence of an awkward fit between American and British sensibilities.. If it weren't for the comic relief provided by Will and Bill, tiny shrimplike crustaceans known as krill and voiced by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, this would be a forbidding return to Antarctica indeed.. Follows in the original's footsteps on a more reasonable scale while sparing audiences an emoti...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2007) Film Abspielen

There are endless scenes in which the turtles sit around discussing their feelings. All the talk of anger management and sibling rivalry is sure to test the attention spans of viewers in every age group.. . ...while the visuals are terrific, the plot is a distracting clunker that feels like it was written one line at a time by a bunch of overexcited fan-board commentators playing a round-robin storytelling game.. It takes more than an awkward title attempting to sound cool to overcome its mundan...

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good movie to be watched for sure.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and...

Gregs Tagebuch 3 - Ich war's nicht! (2012) Beobachten Film

Real emotions get expressed. Real family harmony emerges.. Spending time with Kinney's characters has become an annual treat.. Like a kid in a mid-day algebra class, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Dog Days" only wakes up for the louder, crasser jokes its pals crack.. ...I think it's possible that all tween audiences, wimpy or not, deserve better than this.. Released right when summer starts to drag, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days at least doesn't add to the exhaustion.. The third time might not be the c...

Bolt - Ein Hund für alle Fälle (2008) Film Abspielen

Disney's first 3D animation, made under new head John Lasseter, is a likeable, dynamic and seductively characterised family entertainment.. Belief may be in question for much of the movie -- only for the perturbed pooch -- but fortunately, enjoyment is never a problem.. Wall-E, it's not, but its target kiddie audience will have no problem whatsoever adopting Bolt.. The directors and screenwriters hit all their marks and push all the right buttons, but the story never really takes off, and the ch...

Plötzlich Prinzessin (2001) Download Film

. Notions of responsibility, surrogacy, rites of passage and the value of friendship are gone through, but the highlighting of modern tropes merely serves to emphasise the film's conventionality.. The G-rated Princess Diaries could be a television pilot, but it can't hope to compete.. Hardly a cross-dressing update of My Fair Lady. But in its own blanded-down fashion, it captures just enough of that show's metamorphic zest to make you wish it were.. A sweet movie from a sweet director.. The most...

Rio (2011) Voll Streaming

Moves along at an entertaining, if increasingly familiar clip.. This is a movie that takes even the hoariest quest-peril-life lesson tropes of family animated films and imbues them with new life and rhythm.. There's no story here. It has a kind of an interesting look. It's sweet and it's just not funny at all. The jokes are very tired.. As miraculous as the setting is and the realization of Wedge's vision, the story fails to really engage on any level save the kinetic.. Will keep adults amused w...

An affecting inquest into the nature of courage, mortality, grief and the healing power of faith.. If it didn't have Johnny Depp as its star, Finding Neverland would barely pass muster as an average PBS Masterpiece Theatre entry.. Ferrell, Fey and Hill acquit themselves hilariously, and Cross steals the movie as Minion.. The kiddie set can chortle at Megamind's slapstick and its goofy one-upmanship while adults get a kick out of all the smart spatial tricks that highlight the 3-D effects.. It's ...

Die Abenteuer von Tim und Struppi - Das Geheimnis der Einhorn (2011) Beobachten Film

It adequately re-creates the comics' Dickensian characterization, and every frame brims with clever details. But once the action begins, Spielberg's incessant, force-fed "fun" quickly gets exhausting.. It's solid and affecting and exactly as thought-provoking as it should be.. . Director Jay Russell stomps in hobnail boots over Natalie Babbitt's gentle, endearing 1975 children's novel.. There's no reason it couldn't have been infused with real feeling, instead of just a nice, tidy lesson about t...

You can imagine ET phoning his legal team, but although this kids' sci-fi adventure is derivative, its characters are drawn with more care and insight than you'd expect.. Its own animal, a spirited and intrepid critter that mooches our affection along with the garbage.. Over the Hedge isn't by any stretch bad. It's just banal.. On its own modest terms, the alien adventure "Earth to Echo" is a lively and likable knockoff that should divert, if not exactly enthrall, tweens and young teens.. The yo...

Pleasant, innocuous and intermittently thrilling family entertainment.. . Azaria pretty much steals the show.. Marvel at the movie's cheerful idiocy, which seems definitive -- even though the summer season has just begun -- and at the efficiency with which the filmmakers have dumbed down a dumb premise of proven success.. The sequel to the big family hit Night at the Museum struggles with a big creative challenge. The sense of wonderment you feel in seeing museum displays magically come to life ...

It's all dumb, but fun.. It isn't easy to stand out in a crowded animation field, but Dallas' Reel FX has done it with The Book of Life, one of the best animated films so far this year.. The brightly-imagined Lego Movie is a wickedly smart and funny free-for-all, and sassy enough to shoot well-aimed darts at corporate branding.. The Book of Life moves breezily from one scene to the next, keeping the pace brisk and rarely skipping a beat.. Almost (but not quite) makes up in visuals what it lacks ...

Madagascar (2005) Online-Streaming-

Directors Eric Darnell and Simon J. Smith keep up a headlong pace -- if one joke or sight gag misfires, there'll be another one soon.. Thanksgiving is a time for family and for shirking work, and out of respect for both traditions-and in recognition that I am surely not in the movie's demographic sweet spot-I'm handing the heavy lifting over to my kids, Tom (11) and Alexandra (9).. Appropriate for the wee ones, this flick promises to please parents who will inevitably be in for repeat viewings.....
