Karate Kid (2010) Download Voll

It's a kids' movie, aimed at kids and the people who buy their tickets. And on that level, it doesn't disappoint.. It's as sweet-natured a movie as you could expect about a 12-year-old learning to beat the crap out of his schoolmates.. If the movie's overlong (and it is, by about 20 minutes), it's long for a reason: It gives Dre time to grow.. The Karate Kid indulgently runs 2 hours, 20 minutes, at least a half hour more than it needs, while delivering less fun and inspiration than before.. In a...

Die Muppets (2011) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

[Filmmakers] hew close to the essential innocence informing the Muppets' silliness.. . Secondhand Lions tries to delight, but its charms are no more credible than the swashbuckling adventure that Caine's character recounts.. ... Michael Caine is badly miscast in this movie. I didn't believe him for one second in that role.. "The Muppets" is both a delightful family film about the Muppets and a winking, self-referential satire about how lame the Muppets are.. One of those headed-for-cable odditie...

Winnie Puuh (2011) Streaming-

"Winnie the Pooh" may not be a movie that grown-ups seek out on their own, but it may make some of them jealous of the 4-year-olds who are making the noble bear's acquaintance for the first time.. This is indeed good old Pooh, nothing to fear. No space robots or serial killers have been added to the cast.. It's a pleasure to sink into an animated family movie from Disney that radiates charm with a gentleness that seems damn near revolutionary.. With so many cuts a second, all attention goes into...

Die Biene Maja - Der Kinofilm (2014) Online-Streaming-

"Maya the Bee" embodies the kind of self-consciously uplifting treacle some adults insist kids want. They package "Maya" like honey, but it tastes like medicine.. This sweet, play-it-safe adaptation of TV's honeybee heroine is as innocuous and uninspired as preschool animation gets.. Lacks the zingy surprise that Pixar or Disney might have brought.. The film's messages about friendship, acceptance and being yourself are clear enough for the young, and grown-ups can read the story as a warning ab...

Die Boxtrolls (2014) Beobachten Film

The equivalent of throwing "Jurassic Park," "Avatar" and the absolute worst episode ever of "Land of the Lost" in a blender and pushing "garble.". Sincerely tries to pay homage to the likes of Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson but is too contaminated by today's tame sensibilities to make it fly.. "The Boxtrolls" remains relentlessly busy up through its final credits, and it's clever in a nattering way. But it's virtually charmless.. A delectable treat that balances themes of identity and cl...

Schneefrei (2000) Beobachten Film

Snow Day fails both as arrested-development farce and as teen-age romantic comedy.. Young Grey is a firecracker of talent; Fisk delivers a lovely, unaffected performance, and Chriqui is a sparkling, doe-eyed beauty.. Not a waste of time, but not quite in control of its destination.. . . . Unless you have a craving to watch a sluggish Ski-Doo race or want to admire Chase dressed as a hula dancer, consider this the cinematic equivalent of yellow snow.. Snow Day isn't for teens, it's for the kids w...

Madagascar 3: Flucht durch Europa (2012) Download Voll

This is that rare thing: a franchise that grows more winning with each instalment.. Cascading, colorful 3-D performance sequences are sufficiently dazzling that you'll forgive the bajillionth soundtrack sampling of "Firework.". Despite a script co-written by Noah Baumbach, "Madagascar 3" can't upgrade its own shtick, becoming a craven example of a fast-buck, no-fun family film.. It's silly, and it's lazy. And yet, again, it's pretty funny.. What might be barely tolerable in a seven-minute short ...
