Tintenherz (2008) Voll Streaming

Miyazaki works marvels. Sit back and behold.. Much of this comes across as a labor of love, with a classy cast frolicking in Iain Softley's whimsical direction of a lushly imagined adaptation by David Lindsay-Abaire.. Inkheart illustrates an obvious problem with making a movie about the joys of reading when the movie made is labored and sludgy looking: Why bother seeing it if you can stay home and read a book instead?. The overqualified cast gives its all, but logical lapses and sober-sided dire...

Spy Daddy (2010) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

An odd imp of a movie, Arthur and the Invisibles may actually be filled with a bit too much invention for the average kid.. The Spy Next Door follows Brian Levant's long track record of pandering, PG-rated family comedies that look like bad TV (and sometimes are adapted from it).... . . There are too many things out of whack here, and too many unanswered questions.. Too eccentric for kids, too silly for everyone else, it floats in a Neverland of breathtaking visuals in service of a story that pi...

A World Beyond (2015) Film-Streaming

Tomorrowland is a highly original, occasionally even visionary piece of sci-fi filmmaking, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good movie.. Tartakovsky hasn't created the sort of sequel that eclipses the original, but then again the original wasn't exactly "Toy Story" or "How to Train Your Dragon.". Exhilarating on every level.. Hotel Transylvania 2 is the greatest movie Adam Sandler and Kevin James have ever made together. I believe this is called "damning with faint praise.". Eye-popping an...

Im Dutzend billiger 2 - Zwei Väter drehen durch (2005) Streaming-

The highlights of Evan Almighty aren't the supernatural moments but the scenes in which Carell grows comically flustered with his situation.. If the creators seem lethally bored with their product, most viewers will find their patience tested, too.. Sure ain't a movie. Nope, it's a product, pure and very simple and carefully tested to sell to the widest possible market.. . The visuals are passable. The story's a lot of fun. And the story is what sells the movie.. Evan Almighty belongs to that so...

Der Zoowärter (2011) Voll Streaming

There's no "The" in the title of the Kevin James comedy "Zookeeper," and that lack of a definitive article pretty well encapsulates the generic fat man follies on display here.. Unfortunately, nobody had the good sense to call the comedy authorities and shut this Zookeeper down.. Will most audiences mind this? Probably not. Should they? Of course. They deserve better and frankly, so does Kevin James.. It's probably time to stop fretting about Kevin James's movies, and to stop hoping they'll get ...

Madagascar 2 (2008) Online-Streaming-

One reason to lament the existence of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is too bemoan the considerable amount of talent that was tied up developing this uninspired sequel when it could have been employed in the service of something fresh and new.. With so many characters to cram in and not much for many of them to do, Escape 2 Africa ends up a choppy, episodic affair.. Happily, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a worthy follow-up that builds on its predecessor's successes and adds to them.. Lessons about...

Die Abenteuer von Sharkboy und Lavagirl (2005) Film Abspielen

The 3-D animation, occasional gross-out jokes and way-cool beasties and robots play to every 10-year-old, chronological or just in spirit.. This film has hidden depths, especially for adults who mistakenly think Monsters vs. Aliens is only for kids.. It's like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" set free by animation to look the way it dreamed of looking.. I don't think there are any characters here that a child would love.. True, the story doesn't amount to much, but the plot tends to take a back se...
