Hop (2011) Spille Film

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?.

An enjoyable ride on a dark but not-quite-scary-enough-to-make-you-scream roller coaster, told in elegant motion-capture animation....

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) Se Fuld Film

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian seems to go on for several days and nights, though in fact it lasts just 105 minutes. I checked my watch. A lot.. The movie could be studied as an encyclopedia of sight gags, most of which are well executed, if not entirely original (which won't matter to small-fry viewers).. It's a collection of some of the most interesting figures throughout history and some of the most talented performers we have working today.. Offers giant rocks clearly made of...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth and worst installment yet, is two and a half hours of paralyzing tedium, featuring another colossal waste of British talent and a plot a...
