"Glory ist einer der besten Filme, die je über den amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg gedreht wurden. Zudem ist er die erste große Hollywood-Produktion, die sich der wichtigen Rolle der afro-amerikanischen Soldaten in der bewegten Geschichte dieser Nation annimmt. Die Handlung basiert auf den Büchern Lay this Laurel von Lincoln Kirstein, One Gallant Rush von Peter Burchard und den historischen Briefen des Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Sie erzählt d ..."
"Emigrating to America, Protestant Irishman Frankie McGuire plots a top secret arms deal that could blow England off the map, and it is up to veteran New York cop Tom O'Meara to prevent the mass murder conspiracy from succeeding"
"Six hours of monosyllabic John Rambo high jinks, best savored in surround sound (for the bone-rattling explosions) and with your brain on pause (for everything else). Sylvester Stallone's second signature character, after Rocky, a seething ex-Green Beret killing machine, went from Vietnam-vet victim in the original picture, First Blood, flipping out over the ingratitude of his beloved homeland, to a muscle-bound terminator in Rambo III, ..."
"The best way to enjoy this 1997 thriller is to forget the much better film that inspired it (1973's The Day of the Jackal) and get whatever kicks you can from this heavy-metal remake. It's not bad as hokey thrillers go, but all of the original film's suspenseful finesse has been traded in (not traded up) for bigger, bolder action and nonsensical plotting. It's as if Hollywood had forgotten to create excitement without resorting to overb ..."

Former U.S. Marshall Wyatt Earp's (Kurt Russell) plan for peace, quiet, and prosperity misfires when he, his brothers, and the outrageous rogue Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) encounter that ruthless band of outlaws, the Clantons. Gripping perform ..."

"One of the very best films about the Civil War, this instant classic from 1989 is also one of the few films to depict the participation of African American soldiers in Civil War combat. Based in part on the books Lay This Laurel by Lincoln Kirstein and One Gallant Rush by Peter Burchard, the film also draws from the letters of Robert Gould Shaw (played by Matthew Broderick), the 25-year-old son of Boston abolitionists who volunteered to ..."

Follow two explorers (Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz) as they search for long-lost treasure in the sun-baked Egyptian desert. The time has c ..."
"Wenn Sie eine in Bandagen gewickelte, herumtorkelnde Mumie vom Typus eines Boris-Karloff-Bösewichts zu sehen erwarten, haben Sie die falsche Kassette in den Videorekorder geschoben! Wenn Sie jedoch tolle Effekte, einen coolen Helden und einige wirklich gute Gags sehen möchten, wird Ihnen die 1999er Version des Klassikers Die Mumie verdammt gut gefallen. Die Kritiken nannten den Film billig, wertlos und blass. Doch diese Bewertung ist un ..."
