"About a Boy, eine weitere großartige Adaption eines populären Nick-Hornby-Romans (nach High Fidelity), war in England ein absoluter Kassenerfolg, bevor er sich daran machte, den Rest der Welt zu bezaubern. Während High Fidelity seinen Londoner Charme nach Chicago verlegte, behielt diese unwiderstehliche Komödie in den Händen der amerikanischen Regisseure Chris und Paul Weitz ihren britischen Stammbaum. Darüber hinaus ist Hugh Grant die ..."

"Firmly in the spirit of the late 90s wave of British crime films, Beautiful Creatures stars Rachel Weisz and Susan Lynch as two young Glasgow women united against their brutally abusive boyfriends. With a corpse in the bathroom, a golf bag with a secret and seedy detective on their trail Dorothy (Lynch) and Petula (Weisz) hatch an ill-conceived fake kidnapping as their passport from an impossible situation. The film is an entertaining 8 ..."
"Egyptologist and general mess Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) discovers a map to the lost city of Hamunaptra, and so she hires rogue Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) to lead her there. Once there, Evelyn accidentally unlocks the tomb of Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), a man who had been buried alive a couple of millennia ago with flesh-eating bugs as punishment for sleeping with the pharaoh's girlfriend. The ancient mummy is revived, and he is determined ..."
"Not so much a feminist twist on the bloody British gangster thriller as a vision of innocents in thugland, Beautiful Creatures offers a pair of birds at the center of this traditionally bloke-driven genre. Think of it as Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels by way of Bound. Susan Lynch and Rachel Weisz are Dorothy and Petula, gangster girlfriends desperate to escape the Scottish underworld of scumbags, violent gang bosses, and corr ..."
"If you're expecting bandaged-wrapped corpses and a lurching Boris Karloff-type villain, then you've come to the wrong movie. But if outrageous effects, a hunky hero, and some hearty laughs are what you're looking for, the 1999 version of The Mummy is spectacularly good fun. Yes, the critics called it "hokey," "cheesy," and "pallid." Well, the critics are unjust. Granted, the plot tends to stray, the acting is a bit of a stretch, and the ..."
"From director Stephen Sommers (producer of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) comes an epic filled with intense action, incredible excitement and stunning special effects. Inspired by the timeless 1932 Universal horror film, this breathtaking journey unearths a 3,000-year-old legacy of terror. 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 ..."
" Die Mumie 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 Bewer ..."

"Constantine versucht innerhalb der Riege theologischer Thriller an die Qualität von Der Exorzist heran zu reichen, jedoch befindet er sich eher in der selben Liga wie Sin Eater – Die Seele des Bösen. Der Film unter der halbwegs intelligenten Regie des Musikvideo-Veterans Francis Lawrence ist im Grunde genommen Matrix mit Unmengen von Dämonen anstelle von Unmengen an Maschinen und basiert auf dem bekannten Comic Hellblazer. Keanu Reeves ..."
"Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Past, present, future. Through time and space, one man embarks on a bold 1000-year odyssey to defeat humankind's most indomitable foe: Death. Hugh Jackman plays that man, devoted to one woman (Rachel Weisz) and determined to protect her from forces that threaten her existence. His quest leads him to a Tree of Life...and to an adventure into eternity. Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) directs, continu ..."

"Controversial director Neil LaBute tweaks our culture's moral compass in his dark comedy The Shape of Things. Dorky museum guard Adam (indie heartthrob Paul Rudd, made to look as dweebish as possible) meets student Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) as she's preparing to deface a classical statue; instead of stopping her, he musters up the courage to ask her out. But soon he finds himself so completely in her thrall that he willingly succumbs to her ..."
"Bathed in self-conscious cool, "Confidence" is a heist caper in which the heist is unimportant. As you might expect from "Glengarry Glen Ross" director James Foley, this pulpy concoction is more interested in giving good actors a lot of hip, salty dialogue as they scheme their way to the royal scam. It's a poor man's "Ocean's Eleven", just as enjoyable in its own way, beginning when con artist Jake (Edward Burns) discovers he's accident ..."
"Although Sunshine was made by a Hungarian, István Szabó, and deals with the history of Hungary as refracted through three generations of a Jewish-Hungarian family, you might be more inclined to give it three hours of your own life if you approach it as a David Lean movie in spirit. It is an English-language picture, and Maurice Jarre's music recalls his score for Doctor Zhivago. Szabó emulates Lean's intimate-epic style of merging the s ..."
