Der Sohn von Rambow (2007) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

After the movie, I imagined its writer-director, Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) being more than a little like Will, and the movie uncannily similar to one of Will's comic epics.. . A joyous, touching story of friendship, mischief and imagination.. 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.. . A noble effort, but it just kind of falls apart.. Few movies have captured the intoxicat...

Triff die Robinsons (2007) Film-Streaming

Whether you see this loony, feel-good comedy in 3-D or in regular vision, it's a lot of fun.. Where "The Lorax" succeeds, it's by letting its Seussian spirit shine through.. This is a very skillfully made corporate product, but I wonder who, exactly, will be fully satisfied.. The movie is a mess.. It keeps moving forward, even if you're not always sure where it's taking you.. There's no doubt Disney will do it again, and perhaps better next time, but for now, it looks like technology could be it...

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...
