Die Chroniken von Narnia: Prinz Kaspian von Narnia (2008) Film-Streaming

It's nice that the film brings some real-world crunch to the story - ethnic characters whose presence make a social point ... and a clear message about the downside of a society where food is overabundant.. Sure, it's a big-budget spectacle. But it's also the kind of grandly old-fashioned entertainment we don't get enough of anymore.. 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' may not scale the artistic heights of a 'Finding Nemo' or 'Wall-E', but it's the most satisfying and original non-Pixar CG anim...

Ella - Verflixt & zauberhaft (2004) Online-Streaming-

With bigger battles and scarier monsters than its predecessor, the new movie flaunts grander visual effects, and, with one notable exception, a dash more individuality than the initial installment.. Why oh why are these sequels always bigger and louder and longer and bad?. Determined to have their cake and eat it too, writer-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller first invite us to revel in ice cream mountains and nacho cheese fountains, then clobber us with ham-handed nutritional moralism.. Adams...

Sinbad - Der Herr der sieben Meere (2003) Online-Streaming-

Sinbad is rich with ideas and images.. Business-as-usual movie that isn't trying to make anything more than a medium-size splash.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. The effects are competent, the action has exciting moments and the story is interesting enough, but the parts don't add up to a compelling sum.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. [Lacks] the sparkle and inventiveness ...

Monsters vs Aliens (2009) Download Film

It's an affectionate, fairly funny riff on 1950s sci-fi movies, which often featured aliens, sometimes in the form of gelatinous glop, trying to take over Earth before earthlings, usually of the military variety, save the day.. This blandly conceived and executed attempt at a juve-style Indiana Jones with Jules Verne trappings recycles familiar adventure and cartoon devices with minimal wit and flair.. MvA isn't, and isn't pretending to be, as ambitious a project as Pixar's almost universally la...

Shrek 2 - Der tollkühne Held kehrt zurück (2004) Download Voll

Delivers more fun than there is slime in a green ogre's swamp.. A rare example of a sequel that's better than the original.. . It's laced with literate humor, and the directors cite N.C. Wyeth's illustrations for the 1911 Scribner's edition of Treasure Island as the inspiration for their marvelously detailed fantasy world.. 'Treasure Plane' starts with the clever idea of transforming the story into an old-fashioned space opera, and the animated visuals are handily up to the studio's best. Yet th...

Snow Dogs - Acht Helden auf vier Pfoten (2002) Streaming-

A miserable waste of a harebrained script fleshed out with mediocre performances by a flailing cast.. Lima ... hits all the obvious notes hard, and must be held to account for indulging so much hammy mugging from his cast.. . A generic family comedy unlikely to be appreciated by anyone outside the under-10 set.. . It's particularly good at capturing that time of life when you simultaneously believe everything is possible and that each tiny misstep is the end of the world.. Gooding offers a despe...

Max (2015) Download Film

Mr. Yakin opts for bullets, explosions and blood vengeance when handcuffs and perp walks would do the job. Not that "Max" has any clear or coherent sense of mission.. "Minions'" all-silliness all-the-time philosophy will put a smile on faces and keep it there, like a fizzy beverage on a hot afternoon.. Yakin doesn't condescend to his audience, and infuses his plot with a surprisingly ambitious and revealing commentary about the experience of war.. It counterbalances sentimentality with a dose of...

Harry Potter und der Orden des Phönix (2007) Online-Streaming-

Beautifully shot but a soulless cash machine, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" delivers no dramatic payoff, no resolution and not much fun.. Director David Yates, who is new to the Potter franchise, moves the story along briskly, at the expense of texture and nuance.. This one is a long, archetypal journey that screeches to a halt a few stops short of its destination.. The whole Hogwarts faculty is so beautifully cast, it reinforces the American impression that in Britain great act...

Drachenzähmen leicht gemacht (2010) Beobachten Film

Smartly dispensing with the usual hubbub of pop references that dot many of these films, the movie offers touching, quiet moments and imaginative, high-flying beauty. It's fantastically entertaining.. It's a thrilling action-adventure saga with exhilarating 3-D animation, a clever comedy with witty dialogue, a coming-of-age tale with surprising depth and a sweetly poignant tale of friendship between man and animal.. What gives [this] story emotional heft has to do with a different kind of dimens...

Wolkig mit Aussicht auf Fleischbällchen 2 (2013) Online-Streaming-

Better in every respect than the original "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.". Mostly, "Cloudy 2" relies on the usual noxious recipe for junky kid flicks: loud noise, pop music and poop jokes.. Suspend your ideas about what is logical or truly real and just have a nice 90-minute escape into the brightly colorful world directors Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn and their team have created here.. The movie is ultimately less about the pain of loss than about the way families often take shape around a ...

Chihiros Reise ins Zauberland (2001) Beobachten Film

That rare movie that has the emotional and psychological depth to match its stunning surface.. In scene after scene, Spirited Away unleashes so much wonder and visual imagination that you end up watching the movie in a state of rapturous, awestruck bliss.. 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.. ...brilliant in its imagery and astonishing in its creativity. Many fil...

Strange Magic (2015) Download Film

Doesn't try to be more than what it is: a romantic fantasy caper.. A banal slice of fluff.. A jaw-droppingly terrible animated musical that mismatches George Lucas' inane story about a pair of fairy princesses to an oddball selection of the "Star Wars'' creator's favorite pop tunes.. "Strange Magic," the new animated musical fairy tale from the mind and the mixtape of George Lucas, is indeed strange. What's missing is the magic.. The movie maintains its own level of oddball invention that at lea...

Scooby-Doo 2 - Die Monster sind los (2004) Voll Streaming

The monsters are the highlight of the film, and if history is any guide, there will be more ghosts and evildoers for our wholesome heroes to battle in Scooby-Doo 3.. What I like about Bee Movie is its comfy, off-the-cuff charm: unlike a lot of animated family entertainment, it's not all Thwack Smash Kaboom.. . . Bee Movie is a cute movie. Not that there's anything ... well, you know the rest. But cute is not what adults expect from Jerry Seinfeld, although children will be delighted.. Falls from...

Percy Jackson - Diebe im Olymp (2010) Download Voll

Although the standard allegorical bases for mythical-quest movies are dutifully covered, the obvious similarity of Percy Jackson to the Harry Potter movies inevitably makes it feel somewhat secondhand.. Most of the charm of "Monsters Inc." comes from its vocal cast.. A worthy competitor to DreamWorks' Shrek for the first Best Animated Feature Oscar.. I thought it was mischievous and witty and amusing and I was just sort of drawn into it.. The movie finishes strong, managing to be sweet without b...

Im Dutzend billiger (2003) Streaming-

The movie has trouble stitching together disjointed episodes into a coherent narrative. Thanks to a strong voice cast, however, the characters retain their charm throughout.. Frantically paced by director Rob Minkoff ("The Lion King") and making very effective use of 3D - Hey! Get that sword out of my face! - the movie will surely appeal to kids.. The film's saving grace is its character design and use of 3D techniques to speed things up in every sense when the plot starts to flag.. Swift, peppy...

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 ...

Milo und Mars (2011) Download Film

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.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It ...

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...
