The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro

"What do you say about a torpid, top-heavy sequel to a 2012 reboot for which there was really no crying need in the first place? You say this: The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the fifth Spidey movie in 12 years, is overlong, underwhelming, unnecessary and sure to be a hot ticket. Now you get it." 
(Peter Travers im "Rolling Stone")

Hinzuzufügen wäre noch, dass der Film über weite Strecken wie ein Videospiel aussieht. **

"Shamesless" - Season 3

Meet the fabulously dysfunctional Gallagher family. Dad's a drunk, Mom split long ago, eldest daughter Fiona tries to hold the family together. Eldest son Philip (Lip) trades his physics tutoring skills for sexual favors from neighborhood girls. Middle son Ian is gay. Youngest daughter Debbie is stealing money from her UNICEF collection. Ten-year-old Carl is a budding sociopath and an arsonist, and toddler Liam is - well, he might actually be black, but nobody has a clue how.

Wieder fremdschämen in Chicago - "Shameless", Season 2

Zynisch, komisch, absurd, politisch völlig inkorrekt, aber auch zu Herzen gehend: Neues von the dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher. 

Für Serienjunkies: Enjoy...

"Noah" - Alles, was da kreucht und fleucht

Gott ist zornig und kündigt an, mit einer gigantischen Sintflut das Leben auf der Erde auszulöschen. Zugleich beauftragt er Noah (Russell Crowe), eine Arche für die Unschuldigen zu bauen. Die biblische Geschichte von Noah erzählt Regisseur Darren Aronofsky als Blockbuster-Fantasy-Abenteuer  mit großen Schauwerten. Gelungener Versuch, das Genre des Bibel-Epos neu zu reanimieren. Ridley Scott steht mit „Exodus“ schon in den Startlöchern. ****
