Material Girls (2006) Fuld Streaming

A superficial tween comedy that mocks celebutantes like the Olsen twins while simultaneously pushing stars Hilary and Haylie Duff as their replacements.. It's sort of reassuring that although Madge has seemingly given up starring in bad movies, her company is still financing terrible scripts.. Under the circumstances, Anjelica Huston and Lukas Haas manage not to embarrass themselves, but only because they're pretending to be in a different movie.. The scariest part of Material Girls comes when y...

Over hækken (2006) Se Fuld Film

A charming, clever and crisply paced little confection about small, junk-food-addled mammals that's sure to delight large mammals of any age.. It misses the mark a couple of times but in the main, it's good clean fun.. Over the Hedge isn't by any stretch bad. It's just banal.. There may be only so many ways you can spin a computer-generated animated feature about a gang of animals and their grand project against an evil adversary.. An endearingly cheerful animated feature from DreamWorks.. If th...

Yours, Mine and Ours (2005) Fuld Streaming

Culture clash, the military organizer versus Ms. 'Free to be you and me,' makes for some cute bits, most of them slapstick. There just aren't enough of them.. [A] shrill family comedy.. Bland and witless.. The frenzy peters out, leaving youngsters as bored as their parents.. So snug, airtight and insulated from reality that the nice, well-scrubbed Cheaper by the Dozen seems almost rambunctious by comparison.. Synthetic, strained and noisy.. It's terrible.. Not a fresh insight or genuine laugh in...

Zookeeper - Dyrenes Helt (2011) Spille Streaming

Hypocrisy on an epic scale, this computer-animated feature turns the Dr. Seuss classic about corporate greed into a multimillion-dollar toy commercial.. I think kids will love it, because the penguins are cute.. Despite some schmaltz and pandering, this is a still a nifty feat of protest whose activism now comes mostly from songs.. This one is strictly for James' hard-core fans and anyone wishing to witness the sole appearance of the once-mighty MGM lion on a new feature this year.. Did you ever...

Charlottes Tryllespind (2006) Spille Streaming

In the end, the pros and cons all just add up to that same bit of modern-day kid-movie praise: It could have been so much worse.. Unfortunately, Charlotte's Web is an unremarkable collection of cute kids, talking animals and syrupy sentiment. There's little of White's original spare style and even less to entertain anyone but the very undemanding.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, th...

Whale Rider (2002) Online Streaming

Niki Caro roots her characters in a landscape equal parts mundane and boundless, incorporates tantalising sea photography and Lisa's Gerrard's ambient soundtrack, and lifts off into a sublime, Elysian ending.. A whale of a tale.. You leave the theater feeling as if you've encountered another culture and drawn inspiration from it.. It's enough to make you think people really can talk to whales.. At its transporting best, Whale Rider seesaws between archetype and innocence -- it's a re-founding my...

Turbo (2013) Fuld Streaming

Honestly, they pretty much had me at "racing snails.". the movie seems to understand its own near-abject ridiculousness ... without getting overly nudge-nudge wink-wink .... Let's face it: Kids aren't a very demanding audience. If there's color, movement, and a high quotient of silliness, they're happy.. An easy recommendation, well-considered and well-executed, a treat for anyone who likes comedy or ambitious takes on make-believe worlds.. Turbo's colourful trek to product placement-littered In...
