Home - Ein smektakulärer Trip (2015) Download Film

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!!. Tim Johnson ( Antz) has capitalized on DreamWorks' proprietary animation platform, Apollo to create a rich, intricate setting...But the technology doesn't save the film from falling flat on other levels.. The combination of Home's layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of ...

Nachts im Museum (2006) Online-Streaming-

Rarely has so much production value yielded so little in terms of audience engagement.. ... an aimless and riotous mess.. . The special effects are far more inspired than the comedy in Night at the Museum, which strands several generations of performers in a highly derivative script and hackneyed direction.. The movie, despite some lavish special effects, feels perfunctory and generic. Kids may well enjoy it (the 7-year-old with me giggled all the way through); adults may squirm.. What a dull, n...

Gregs Tagebuch 2 - Gibt's Probleme? (2011) Online-Streaming-

A film about as funny as a seeping wound.. A brisk, reverent, and subtly different sequel.. This follow-up seems so similar to the 1953 Disney classic that it makes one long for a geriatric Peter.. Preceded by a 1957 Pluto short, Never Land is a warmly nostalgic throwback.. For the most part this is a collection of set pieces that movies have served up many, many times before.. They've wimped out.. There follows a fusillade of farts, dud sight gags and inconsequential butt jokes.. No one but a c...

Cats & Dogs - Wie Hund und Katz (2001) Film-Streaming

Storks samba! Toucans tumba! Parrots party in kaleidoscopic formations to the music of Sergio Mendes!. The visuals have so much intrinsic motion that it's too bad Robots is oppressively rollercoasterish.. It may not shatter any molds, but it clicks along in a genial, spirited manner.. . Rio is a brightly-colored, dizzying pinwheel of 3D animation in which nothing much happens. Sounds like summer is here early.. Robots is a corporate product, after all -- but a sleek one.. Feels shopworn and rote...

Ein Königreich für ein Lama (2000) Online-Streaming-

Duff plays off her Lizzie Maguire persona as a cute but unassuming girl, but also conveys soulfulness and earnest longing.. The first Disney animated movie since The Little Mermaid that amounts to nothing more than a throwaway.. The Prince is a wet rag, the slapstick stepsisters are dull and even the fretful Sam seems colorless.. Let me get quickly to the word that best describes this movie. It is horrible.. Mean Girls it's not; a plastic butter knife has more edge. But sometimes it's nice to kn...

Harry Potter und der Halbblutprinz (2009) Streaming-

It really helps in these situations to have first-rate actors.. Harry is better than ever, a triumph of visual wonder and emotional storytelling.. 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.. This is the darkest, saddest, most sophisticated Harry Potter film yet.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT mov...

Die Maske 2 - Die nächste Generation (2005) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

No doubt extensive market research shows that there's an audience out there for movies like Son Of The Mask, but it's too depressing to speculate who that might be.. What we basically have here is a license for the filmmakers to do whatever they want to do with the special effects, while the plot, like Wile E. Coyote, keeps running into the wall.. If he keeps working hard and honing his craft, Jamie Kennedy may one day achieve his goal of becoming a second-rate Jim Carrey.. It's all very juvenil...

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 ...

Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004) Online-Streaming-

The sort of incoherent mess that invariably goes straight to video.. Features even more toddlers acting in a way only collectors of velvet paintings will consider irresistible.. The shtick is as stale and over-processed as expired Froot Loops, with references that were dated even when the original was released.. Whatever wit could be mined from the idea of breaking the code to baby talk was exhausted in the original Baby Geniuses five years ago.. That's the thing about children when it comes to ...

Rio 2 - Dschungelfieber (2014) Beobachten Film

Those who enjoyed the adventures of Blu and Jewel and company in the first Rio are going to find the sequel an equally pleasing diversion.. All in all, though, the movie feels at once too busy and too derivative. That's no easy feat, but it's also one sequel-makers probably shouldn't aspire to.. Wonderfully animated and well-voiced, "Rio 2" is nevertheless too much. Too much plot, too many issues, too many characters.. This movie, in fact, is all about conformity.. With so much going on, it's a ...

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...

Bedtime Stories (2008) Download Film

Sandler's laziness, sloppiness, and cynical pandering are all over Bedtime Stories, and it turns what's intended to be a graceful intersection of fairytale whimsy and real-world slapstick into an ugly, head-on collision.. When it comes to holiday tales, it would be best to reread The Night Before Christmas rather than waste time or money on Bedtime Stories.. The twitchy anxiety that once powered his persona has given way to a doughy anonymity.. . Judged as a piece of family entertainment, it's t...

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...

Like Mike (2002) Film Abspielen

Pleasant but not more than recycled jock piffle.. A movie that can't help but trip over its own wholesomeness.. Slick piece of cross-promotion.. Director John Schultz's movie is as lame and predictable as you'd imagine, and it's chock full of orphanage cliches.. Bow Wow makes an impressive film debut; parents and children will love Calv's plucky can-do attitude; and the action sequences are given a little more oomph due to the presence of real life basketball pros.. Both the slapstick and the sc...

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...
