"Sie kennen das alte dramatische Prinzip zwischen Glaubwürdigkeit und Unglaubwürdigkeit? Die Realität spielt dabei keine Rolle, es kommt einfach darauf an, dass der Film, den Sie gerade schauen, im Rahmen seiner eigenen Realität glaubwürdig bleibt. Gelingt dies, werden Sie nicht enttäuscht. In Air Force One spielt Harrison Ford den Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten, der sich vor allem auf dem Gebiet der Terrorismus-Bekämpfung einen Na ..."
"Billy Chapel (Kevin Costner) hat einen rabenschwarzen Tag erwischt. Seine Freundin Jane (fantastisch wie immer, Kelly Preston), teilt ihm mit, dass sie ihn verlassen wird, und sein Boss (Brian Cox) eröffnet ihm, dass er das Geschäft verkaufen und Billy, sein Top-Angestellter, den Job verlieren würde. Klingt eigentlich wie gehabt für ein altgedientes Schlachtross. Außer, dass es sich bei diesem Geschäft um Baseball handelt, was im Falle ..."
"Nach einer zwei Jahre währenden Pause, unter anderem wegen einer Herzoperation, kehrte Arnold Schwarzenegger im November 1999 mit End of Days - Nacht ohne Morgen auf die Leinwand zurück. Dies war ein verfrühtes Weihnachtspräsent, dessen Verpackung aus buntem Geschenkpapier und farbiger Schleife jedoch etwas mehr erhoffen ließ, als der Inhalt schließlich zu bieten hatte. Der etwas überzogene Thriller fuhr auf dem Das-Millennium-geht-zu-E ..."
"Film-Veteran Norman Jewison hat als einer der wenigen Filmemacher verstanden, dass eine überzeugende Film-Biografie oft nur entstehen kann, wenn man sich nicht sklavisch an die Fakten hält, sondern im Sinne der Geschichte Dinge vielleicht vereinfacht oder aus dem Plot verbannt. Wenn die Essenz der Geschichte dabei nicht verloren geht, hat dies nichts mit Verfälschung zu tun. Ein eindrucksvolles Beispiel dafür stellt seine Filmbiografie ..."

"Filson's lightweight Foul Weather Rain Pants provide water-repellency and a high degree of wind-resistance, yet are supple enough to provide mobility. The roomy fit accommodates layering and is comfortable even when you're sitting or kneeling."
"Firewall (DVD) (WS)Blowtorches, dynamite, getaway cars ... forget it. This is where the real vault is. Binary code. Virtual money. All ones and zeros. Paul Nilsson (Harrison Ford - Blade Runner, Star Wars films), a successful security chief for an international bank, finds himself a pawn in a dangerous game when he receives word that his family has been kidnapped. The kidnappers, led by devious and ruthless mastermind Bill Cox (Paul Bet ..."
"This 1978 throwaway comedy is an episodic affair obviously inspired by American Graffiti and its multiple-story-line structure. Set during a single night at a disco, there are some nine distinctive, character-driven plots going on, including one featuring Donna Summer as an up-and-coming singer trying to get the club deejay to play her record. Jeff Goldblum and Debra Winger are in the mix, too, and while no one's trying to make history ..."
"Get ready for more fun, attitude and excitement in this all-new comedy! When popular Britney Allen (Hayden Panettiere) moves from posh Pacific Vista to working-class Crenshaw Heights, her life goes from cheer-topia to cheer-tastrophe. Britney finds herself at odds with her new classmates, especially head cheerleader Camille (Solange Knowles-Smith). But when she wins a spot on the cheer squad and faces her former team in a cross-town che ..."
"Als der Film in den USA veröffentlicht wurde, trommelten haufenweise Kritiken auf ihn ein, weil Thirteen Days sich bei der Darstellung der Fakten in der Krise um die kubanischen Raketenstationierungen einige Freiheiten heraus nahm, und weil die Hauptstars die spannende Geschichte mit ihrem dümmlichen Bostoner Akzent beinahe erstickten. Tolerantere Kritiker feierten den Film als einen der besten des Jahres und dieser Meinung sollte jeder ..."
"The words "subtle" and "Ashton Kutcher" rarely appear in the same sentence, but here goes: "A Lot Like Love", a romantic comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet, is surprisingly and pleasantly subtle. The story starts when Emily (Peet, "Igby Goes Down") and Oliver (Kutcher, "Dude, Where's My Car?") meet on a flight to New York and have a tryst in the airplane bathroom. After a day's dalliance, they part and don't meet again for f ..."
"Academy Award(R) nominated stars Joaquin Phoenix (Best Supporting Actor, GLADIATOR, 2000) and John Travolta (Best Actor, PULP FICTION, 1994) ignite the intense action in this heroic tale of ordinary men with uncommon courage! As part of a tightly knit brotherhood of skilled firefighters, Jack Morrison (Phoenix) grows from inexperienced rookie to seasoned veteran as he faces a dangerous job that makes him a hero to strangers but often s ..."

"Heart-pounding action and bone-chilling thrills power this edgy, electrifying fright-fest starring Mekhi Phifer, Ving Rhames and Sarah Polley! When a mysterious virus turns people into mindless, flesh-eating zombies, a handful of survivors wage a desperate, last-stand battle to stay alive…and human!

"Eine unerklärte Seuche hat die Weltbevölkerung dahingerafft, aber die Toten sind nicht wirklich tot - sondern Zombies, die auf der Suche nach noch lebendem Menschenfleisch die letzten bewohnten Gegenden bedrohen. Eine Gruppe verzweifelter Überlebender in einer Stadt in Wisconsin sucht in einem großen Einkaufszentrum Zuflucht, wo sie die letzte Bastion der Menschheit verteidigen müssen. Doch die Untoten haben die Witterung aufgenommen un ..."
"This sprightly, sardonic sequel to Bring It On has little connection to the Kirsten Dunst comedy, but is a lot of fun on its own terms. Freshman Whittier (Anne Judson-Yager) arrives at California State University in Los Angeles intent on auditioning for the cheerleading squad. Discovering student life to be a mix of the mundane (dumb football players) and iconoclastic (sundry militants), she buddies up with a former rival (Faune Chamber ..."

"THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB is based on the classic book series of the same name--one of the top--sellingbook series in history. It chronicles one summer in the lives of seven young women on the cusp of their teenage years, bound by friendships that will last a lifetime, challenged by adventures, familycrises, and romantic entanglements."
"Academy Award winner Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda, The Big Chill) delivers "yet another Oscar-worthy performance" (Bill Zwecker, FOX-TV) in this compelling and inspiring story about a revered teacher and the students whose lives he changes forever. The Emperor's Club is an unforgettable, powerfully uplifting story about the meaning of honor and integrity, in a movie Jeffrey Lyons of WNBC-TV calls "one of the best films of the year. ..."
"President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) is one of the most respected leaders in the history of America. When Kazakhstanian separatists commit atrocities on their own people, Marshall authorizes a guerrilla mission to take their leader, General Radek (Jurgen Prochnow), into custody and restore the democratic regime. In his speech afterward, the president vows never to let America hesitate again when dealing with terrorists. However, tha ..."
"William Wharton's autobiographical novel of World War II becomes a moving portrait of war's madness in the microcosm of a small intelligence patrol on the German front in 1944. The unit, composed of high IQ soldiers, is sent to scout ahead. They discover a small platoon of Germans hiding in the forest, but these soldiers would rather fight with snowballs than guns and exchange Christmas presents instead of mortar fire. The young, rathe ..."

"Spy Game ist ein intelligenter Thriller, der eine dichte Handlung bietet, ohne den filmischen Schwung zu opfern, der für Regisseur Tony Scott so typisch ist. Der Film besitzt den Umfang eines komplexen Romans und dreht sich um den altgedienten CIA-Agenten Nathan Muir (Robert Redford), dessen Schützling Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt) seiner Hinrichtung in einem chinesischen Gefängnis harrt. Es ist Muirs letzter Tag vor der Pensionierung (Vorsich ..."
"This gentle "true" fairy tale succeeds on nearly every level, becoming an intelligent handling of a tabloid story. In 1817 a young foreign drifter (Phoebe Cates, never better) sets a small portion of England buzzing that she is a royal princess from an uncharted land. This feels like a magical movie with slightly overcooked characters, such as Kevin Kline's Greek butler. The supporting cast is older than in most movies of this type--no ..."

"Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) is the quintessential Wall Street shark, scoring killer deals by day and shallow escort sex by night. His round-the-clock routine of empty luxuries is disturbed one lonely Christmas Eve when a gun-packing punk (Don Cheadle)--perhaps an angel of mercy--responds to an altruistic gesture from Jack by giving him "a glimpse" of the life he could have had. Could have, that is, if he had married the girlfriend ..."

"Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage, Nur noch 60 Sekunden) ist ein reinrassiger Börsenhai von der Wall Street, der tagsüber wahnsinnige Geschäfte abschließt und abends nichtssagenden Sex mit Damen vom Begleitservice hat. Seine Rund-um-die-Uhr-Routine voll leerem Luxus wird eines einsamen Weihnachtsabends gestört, als ein waffenstarrender Kerl (Don Cheadle, Out of Sight), der möglicherweise ein Engel der Gnade ist, auf eine uneigennützige Geste ..."
"When released in December 2000, Thirteen Days was pummeled for taking liberties with the facts of the Cuban missile crisis and smothering its compelling drama with phony Boston accents by its primary stars. More tolerant critics hailed it as one of the year's best films, and that's the opinion to believe for anyone who enjoys taut, intelligent political thrillers. For those too young to relate directly to the timeless urgency of the cri ..."

"In his direction of The Hurricane, veteran filmmaker Norman Jewison understands that slavish loyalty to factual detail is no guarantee of compelling screen biography. In telling the story of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter--who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1967 and spent nearly two decades in jail--Jewison and his screenwriters compress time, combine characters, and rearrange events with a nonchalance that would be galling if they ..."
"Billy Chapel (Kevin Costner) is having a bad day. His girlfriend Jane (Kelly Preston, stunning as ever) says she's leaving, and his boss (Brian Cox) says he's selling the business and ace employee Billy may be out of job. Sounds like business as usual for an old-fashioned veteran. However, the business is baseball and for Billy Chapel, the 40-year old former all-star for the Detroit Tigers, it means his career--and his life--is at a cro ..."

"This paranoia-fueled thriller, more intelligent and imaginative than you would have reason to believe, owes a huge debt to The Stepford Wives with its premise of a goody-good high school clique programmed by an evil doctor to be wholesome, academically driven, and shining examples of clean living. Unlike its predecessor, though, David Nutter's film opts to open up its premise for everyone to see, diluting the scares but amplifying the c ..."

"After his bloody showdown with Brad Pitt's psychopathic redneck in Kalifornia, David Duchovny used an off-season hiatus from The X-Files to star in this 1997 thriller, in which he plays a doctor whose fall from professional grace leads to a dangerous career in the criminal underworld. Having lost his license after drug abuse caused him to lose a patient during surgery, he's recruited into his illegal career by a slimy but charismatic mi ..."
"Jessica Lange and Michelle Pfeiffer are quietly dazzling in this underrated adaptation of Jane Smiley's best-selling modern version of King Lear. The two play sisters of a stubborn, alcoholic Iowa farmer (Jason Robards), who decides to leave his fertile farm to them and their youngest sister (Jennifer Jason Leigh). It is a decision that rends the family, setting siblings against one another and forcing long-held secrets out of their ..."
"This wrong-headed adaptation of the very funny (and scatological) novel by T. Coraghessan Boyle was written and directed by Alan Parker, who doesn't seem to have much of a clue. It's not a botch, just a movie that hammers its efforts at humor too hard. The focus is split between three story lines: the life of cereal tycoon John Kellogg (Anthony Hopkins with buck teeth), who has created a health spa for the wealthy that focuses on regula ..."
"In 1944, a six-man American intelligence and reconnaissance unit is sent by their reckless major on a mission in a remote part of the Ardennes forest on the German front. Isolated in a remote villa in the dead of winter, they wind up developing a cryptic relationship with a small band of German soldiers nearby who've all but given up on the war effort. The disillusioned soldiers come face-to-face with one another in a beautifully filmed ..."
