Song of the Sea (2014) Film Abspielen

No evolutionary leap forward in the world of computer-generated animation, just another palatable, familiar children's diversion in shiny new form.. If I had to recommend the best children's film out there for all ages, this one, and The Tale of Princess Kaguya, would easily top the charts.. Yet another marvelously funny digital-animation feature.. "Song of the Sea" is a wonder to behold. This visually stunning animation masterwork, steeped in Irish myth, folklore and legend, so adroitly mixes t...

Nacho Libre (2006) Download Film

. The beautifully shot Nacho Libre presents its improbable hero -- doughy, boyish and speaking in a dubious accent -- as someone utterly confident of his abilities, and his place in the world.. A breezy, funny, touching, action-packed sequel.. Black's Po manages to retain his requisite bumptiousness while also making a credible action hero.. Nacho Libre scores points only on occasion.. The original film was a compelling surprise, an unusually fun and sophisticated take on the wacky-animal CGI mo...

Lügen haben kurze Beine (2002) Film-Streaming

Sorry. Started to doze off.. If you're a fan, you won't be disappointed.. In gleefully, thumpingly hyperbolic terms, it covers just about every cliche in the compendium about crass, jaded movie types and the phony baloney movie biz.. Its winning formula is driven not by narrative but by what isn't there: no sex, no drugs, and no rock and roll-- unless you count the logjam of thundering power ballads.. The movie's big action scenes ... make you forget you're even watching animation.. . Never push...

Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde (2008) Download Film

Nanny McPhee offers solid family entertainment in the face of it all. Mary Poppins, eat your heart out.. Considering all the movies not being shown to critics this year, why did the studio choose this one to subject us to?. Naughty (and nice) children of all ages, particularly little girls, should gobble this one up, and rightly so.. The cast hits the right notes.. Cheesy, sappy, full of obvious slapstick and the odd Robin Williams power-improv -- it's National Lampoon's Vacation without the stu...

Die Croods (2013) Online-Streaming-

This movie not only has its heart in the right place, it has its brain in the right place.. It may not be an instant animated classic, but it's a charmer that will leave the kids ... feeling warm and fuzzy .... . The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement picks up right where the 2001 hit original left off -- not only in its story line, but in its appeal to young girls.. The pace is brisk and occasionally slapstick, and some amusing situations stem from the cavemen displaying brawn over brains.. T...

Alvin und die Chipmunks 3 - Chipbruch (2011) Beobachten Film

Flails about in search of a creative reason to exist.. . Largely inoffensive but equally unimaginative.. 87 minutes of high-pitched singing, shenanigans, bad behaviour and family bonding, enlivened by a decent Sarah Palin joke.. In the end, I'd rather hang onto fond memories of my Eisenhower-era record, squeaky voices and all.. There is chipmunk gambling. There is seductive dancing by Chipettes wearing only towels. There is a musical gag involving the lyric "whip my tail back and forth.". "Chipw...

Raise Your Voice - Lebe deinen Traum (2004) Download Film

Spirited entertainment for all but the youngest members of the group (Oddball faces peril that will haunt little ones).. This is for Duff's already committed audiences, which presumably consist of the young, the innocent and the commercially acquisitive.. The film suffers from a syndrome I'll call the Pop Princess's New Clothes. Hilary can't really sing, and neither can Terri, so you can't help but wonder, what's the big whoop?. Close's combination of Norma Desmond and the Bride of Frankenstein ...
