Finding Nemo is laced with smart humor and clever gags, and buoyed by another cheery story of mismatched buddies: a pair of fish voiced by Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres.. Be forewarned: Whether through ego, avarice, or unchecked enthusiasm, Jackson has wandered deep into the realm of fan fiction.. Finding Nemo works terribly hard for every scrap of charm or humor it imparts.. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense of the wor...

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) Watch Streaming
Craig has settled into a well-suited, grim-reaper role. Even when James flirts and trysts, his creased face suggests an unmovable weight.. The James Bond franchise turns 50 with a stellar entry that fires on all cylinders as an action picture but also casts a modest glance backward to its illustrious past.. The effect of so many Oscar-calibre actors speaking the generic dialogue is like watching pro ballplayers play T-ball.. Collins and the Lawrences have crossed the uncanny valley separating im...
Total Recall (2012) Online Streaming
. The best stuff in Jumper comes early, while the movie is still busy explaining its scenario. It's only when all the pieces are in place and the story actually kicks in that things start to fall apart, and quickly.. . The remake has no grace notes, or grace, no nuance, no humanity, no character quirks, no surprises in the dialogue and no humor .... The effects look great, but is that even worth noting when smart high-schoolers can make monsters on their laptops? What movie's effects don't look ...
Conan the Barbarian (2011) Watch Full Movie
Even for those missing their Harry Potter fix, this is some weak, watered-down stuff.. Rent the original instead.. Percy is a lot like a certain bespectacled young wizard - sans the lightning-shaped scar. It's too bad his adventures don't have the same enchanting quality.. "Sea of Monsters" is diverting enough - the director, Thor Freudenthal, is savvy with effects and keeps his young cast on point - but it doesn't begin to approach the biting adolescent tension of the Harry Potter movies. Momoa...
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Play Streaming
The conceptual sci-fi of the original series is nowhere to be found, though you might enjoy watching the skinny young actors approximate their counterparts from the 60s; Chris Pine is especially good as Captain Kirk.. For all its reckoning with mass destruction, this franchise's vision of a future Earth remains optimistic. The film mixes the iconically familiar with the futuristic.. The film is, for whatever else it might be, one of the funniest of the Star Trek entries.. Abrams boldly goes into...
Clash of the Titans (2010) Play Streaming
It doesn't soar (though Pegasus the winged horse is captivating).. Apparently the gods need better agents.. At the moment when Sam Worthington, trapped inside a giant scorpion, sword-hacked his way through the dorsal carapace and poked the upper half of his body through the opening as if it were a sunroof, I fell in love with Clash of the Titans.. If you're into Greek mythos, or action, or slightly cheesy (but knowing) humor, then this should prove an adequate source of entertainment.. It doesn'...
Brave (2012) Download Movie
Youngsters with a taste for adventure will no doubt overlook the movie's workmanlike outlines and applaud its spirited, self-reliant heroine, who proves to be as appealingly unruly as her tumble of Titian curls.. It starts with a great story - of love and politics, time travel and mystical pathways between planets - badly sucked dry.. The Pixar name used to mean something. And it never quite meant pleasantly safe, safely forgettable movies like this.. The story, with its patchwork of plots (invo...
Wreck-It Ralph (2012) Online Streaming
The Road, a tremulous heartbreaker onscreen, has successfully made the leap despite an unthinkable amount of fidelity.. This adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's 2006 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is intense and, yes, depressing -- and earns every minute that it rattles inside your head.. 'Wreck-It Ralph' combines a fresh idea with a true love for retro pop culture. It's hard not to love this movie.. Mortensen warms the film with his presence, creating a vivid portrait of a bereft man clinging to the ...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Online Streaming
If we must endure yet another spring-summer cycle of comic book superheroes, this movie at least delivers the wham-bang goods (recycled though they may be).. A movie that is, in the best sense of the word, a Marvel.. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has the usual overlong running time, the half-hearted feints in the direction of human feeling and the obligatory action sequences that are big without being either exciting or particularly legible.. There's too much going on: the Marvel Univers...
xXx (2002) Play Streaming
It's hard to tell with all the crashing and banging where the salesmanship ends and the movie begins.. In its own punk way, XXX is as good as a good Bond movie, and that's saying something.. Essentially a dumb guy's day in Heaven.. If Dubya and Dick Cheney had made their very own post-9/11 patriotic propaganda movie for the teens they need as globalisation fodder, then this would be it.. . It doesn't take long to realize that the only thing this movie's diving for is dollars -- yours.. I don't t...
Terminator Genisys (2015) Download Full
As lousy as the movie is, I must speak up for its makers' valiant attempt to make something old look new and also old ... and new. It's a vexing problem for a system that relies on sequels, "franchises," "tentpoles," etc.. The only one really having a good time is Schwarzenegger, who grins like a Cheshire cyborg even when nothing's funny, least of all the impending destruction of humanity.. Terminator Genisys feels like the film Cameron might have made if he continued the franchise.. Terminator:...
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) Watch Streaming
. If only director Chris Weitz had managed to tease out the real drama -- Bella's fear of aging -- instead of a tired one.. I am not ashamed to admit that I will be the first in line for Twilight part three.. Weitz's pacing is so limp you're going to need the electricity generated by a live audience to keep from yelling, "Hurry it up!". New Moon offers few of the juicy, go-for-broke romantic pleasures of its predecessor, and the movie is so badly shaped that it's hard not to blame Weitz as a dir...
The Lone Ranger (2013) Full Streaming
Terabithia has buckets of gentle sincerity. Since there aren't any dumb jokes or hip visuals, it's easy to get caught up in the simple messages: Be good to your sister, don't be a bully, use your imagination in a pinch.. Everyone involved genuinely seems to believe in the power of imagination to enliven -- and enlighten -- the darkest realities, and that's a magic this film captures beautifully.. There's enough emotional truth in Bridge to Terabithia to make it a worthy addition to big-screen ch...
Idiocracy (2006) Download Movie
If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.. Mike Judge's Idiocracy is absolutely a satire for its time. What Judge is less sure of here than in his previous, perfectly pitched live-action comedy Office Space, is how to build a complete movie around his key ideas.. Ow! My brain!. The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.. It's a low-boil affair from the Offi...
Godzilla (2014) Watch Full Movie
It's a bracing tonic for the bored palate of the mainstream moviegoer, and one of the most intriguing big-budget breakthrough films since Steven Spielberg made "Jaws.". This is exactly what big summer movies ought to aspire to: never short on dazzle, but unafraid to let us catch our breath once it's been taken away.. Forget about three years at Rada - these boys are the real deal.. Director Joseph Kosinski has a recipe for adventure that should delight gamers. Non-techies are on their own.. Dire...
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) Online Streaming
Insurgent is not a very good movie, but it's better than it needs to be.. It's got all the ingredients - improbable romances, partial nudity, ridiculous escapes - that make it little more than big-sound and big-picture fodder for the Imax screens it will appear on throughout the country.. While the pale skin tones (bronzer is selectively applied) and haphazard mix of American and British accents is distracting, it barely scratches the surface of Exodus's ungainly artificiality.. This second inst...
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) Online Streaming
A lavishly mounted blockbuster that has little personality of its own except on a purely visual level.. A work of wonderfully sinister fantasy.. Against all odds it delights, using a compact script (by Robert Gordon), creative storytelling and the ripe comedic talents of a prodigious cast to transform written word into a near-perfect cinematic entity.. Carrey finds his perfect role in Count Olaf.. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to ever...
Get Smart (2008) Play Movie
Remaking Get Smart for the big screen might have sounded like a bad idea, but the movie shows it to have been something else: a really bad idea.. Chipper, energetic and unimaginatively plotted re-do.. As a reworking of one of the great 1960s TV comedies, you'd think being funny would be its main goal. But you would be wrong. Very, very wrong.. You cannot expect a bunch of vacationing kids to remember, let alone revere, a cheeky little TV half hour that entertained the old folks almost a half cen...
Maleficent (2014) Watch Full Movie
This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. [It lacks] the sort of nightmarish visions that made Walt Disney's early animation features so powerful. This looks impressive, though, making use of highly imaginative, state-of-the-art 3-D effects while still evoking old-school Disney animation. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. A masterpiec...
Jurassic Park III (2001) Watch Full Movie
The dialogue is weak and the science has gone from incredulous to silly.. In an era when much on film seems old, Shrek seems new and fresh and clever.. It doesn't take long to figure out that Shrek is not going to be your ordinary animated fairy tale.. Bad news is the only news in Jurassic Park III.. This is beautiful work.. One staggeringly silly movie.. What gives Shrek its special artistic distinction is its witty and knowingly sassy dialogue, delivered by vocally charismatic performers whose...

As a reworking of one of the great 1960s TV comedies, you'd think being funny would be its main goal. But you would be wrong. Very, very wrong.. Overall this is a limp parade of recycled gags and gadgets: an action movie with no surprises and a comedy with nothing like enough laughs.. So bad on so many levels.. A little more unabashed silliness might have made Get Smart a better movie. As is it's a chuckly comfort-food film that you neither love nor hate, serviceable fare for a warm summer daze....
Zombieland (2009) Full Streaming
As Balian and his people withstand the might of Saladin's fiery projectiles, siege towers and the usual computer-generated swarm of soldiers, it's hard not to think we're really watching The Lord of the Rings IV: Legolas Defends Jerusalem.. To say that Scott did a beautiful job directing Kingdom of Heaven would be true, but it wouldn't convey the nature of the achievement.. The religious sentiment accumulates into a tower of politically correct Jell-O.. A colorful, great-looking film, with an in...
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Download Movie
"Guardians of the Galaxy" has wit, energy and zaniness to spare. It will pop your corn and leave you hungry for more.. As directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy never takes itself seriously and it's often a visual and musical treat. The Runaways' Cherry Bomb and David Bowie's Moonage Daydream? Yes, please.. Though based on a comics series launched in 1969, "Guardians" comes on with a hip, absurdist humor that feels thoroughly modern.. What sounds like a strained miscalculation turns out...
Big Hero 6 (2014) Full Streaming
Aside from Parsons' initially amusingly mangled Yoda-like English, which gets a tad repetitive, Home doesn't stand out as fresh or particularly funny.. A surprisingly moving tale of friendship and family, dressed up as an adorably frivolous sci-fi comedy.. Director Marc Forster can't do much with the stale human story, in which Pitt leaves his frightened wife and daughters on an aircraft carrier to await his return.. A relentless horror thriller that serves up a chilling vision of a planet in th...
The Kings of Summer (2013) Full Streaming
An unconventional coming-of-age story that's likely to appeal to the rebellious teen in all of us.. In its small, independent way, "The Kings of Summer" rules.. Starts out as a raunchy teen comedy, slips into nature-epic mode, then adds a romantic triangle and finally finds a comfort zone in family-sitcom land.. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characte...
X-Men (2000) Download Full
It's darker, more complex and far more substantive than anything in the Superman or Batman cinematic series.. The X-Men comic books have spawned a cottage industry of mutant characters, and the movie helps make sense of these legions while offering the established fan base something new to cheer.. X-Men plays like a so-so middle chapter of an epic series rather than a fitting kickoff.. Exciting mainly because anything can happen and does, the movie drags a bit as it approaches a climax set on to...
Jumper (2008) Watch Streaming
Jumper has so many loose ends that it almost cries out for a sequel. This, of course, is intentional. I would say the filmmakers are being a tad optimistic.. Like so many other CGI behemoths, this dull action fantasy ultimately squashes rather than inspires one's sense of wonder.. . So freakin' awful.. The disappointments and the inexplicable plot turns kept mounting until I finally surrendered and just admitted it: This was just a goodlooking clunker.. Is there something innately vexing about a...
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) Full Streaming
It's a work of profound ambition, and, in adapting it for the screen, the makers of The Chronicles of Narnia don't shy away from its demands.. In his daft, dizzy reinvention of a moribund franchise, Abrams has found a way to be referential without being reverential, to conjure nostalgia without being constrained by it.. What constant magic it works.. Even by the standards of its own predecessors, this Trek feels like it was made by a committee of logic-minded Vulcans (or franchise-protective stu...

A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good movie to be watched for sure.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. The best movie I've ever seen. amazing in every acting of t...
The Three Musketeers (2011) Download Movie
While there's certain promise to a comedy about a family that's almost utterly loathesome (it worked for the Addamses, didn't it?) it's necessary that the movie think so, too.. RV has laughs spilling out of its overhead bins.. Not unbearably terrible, just thoroughly mediocre.. Call it the Robert Downey Jr. Meets Sherlock Holmes Effect. A classic popular adventure gets overblown, juiced-up, and generally CGI-ified.. For the latest update of Alexandre Dumas's novel, Paul W.S. Anderson has added f...
John Carter (2012) Play Movie
Where John Carter continually gets it right is pacing, levity, and breadth of story.. Whenever the fighting stops and two people have to stand and talk, all the air goes out of everything. Suddenly it feels as if we're in an empty theater, watching a dusty old sword-and-sandal epic.. Suffers from a convoluted plot and an anticlimactic resolution, but hits enough high notes along the way to be enjoyable.. It isn't bad so much as innocuous, $250-million worth of innocuous, framed by a decent start...
Dragon Blade (2015) Play Movie
It's kind of a mess. That more than 20 minutes have been trimmed for the stateside release may have hurt the film's coherence, but viewers will be thankful for the shorter sit.. Just about everyone seems to get slashed, carved up or skewered, and vengeance rains down upon all. Except, of course, the one villain who truly deserved it. The filmmaker.. In Dragon Blade, East meets West in a murky, mediocre muddle.. [Chan's] acrobatic action sequences remain eye-catching as ever. Veteran star Chan, w...

Despite all its high-tech weirdness, is really that most perdurable of human constructions, a tale told well and true.. This is beautiful work.. In an era when much on film seems old, Shrek seems new and fresh and clever.. What gives Shrek its special artistic distinction is its witty and knowingly sassy dialogue, delivered by vocally charismatic performers whose voices remind us of their stellar screen personae in live-action movies.. What the film lacks is the faintest glimmer of charm.. The s...
Finding Nemo (2003) Watch Full Movie
I really like this movie. thank you. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. In this seamless blending of technical brilliance and storytelling verve, the Pixar team has made something as marvelously soulful and innately, fluidly American as jazz.. A genuinely funny and touching film that, in less than a decade, has established itself as a timeless classic.. ...
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) Online Streaming
This oafish epic about the End of Days -- as predicted by the Mayan calendar -- operates in a dead zone roughly equidistant between parody and idiocy.. The third outing for a herd of toys that should have stayed in their boxes.. As you might expect with director Roland Emmerich, the movie isn't a patch on the trailer.. Frequently entertaining and sometimes lovely to look at.. This is fear-mongering, sentimental, horror show shtick, but it's also fairly competent, making 2012 a work of awful effi...
Spy Kids (2001) Download Full
Just wacky enough and gadget-driven enough to appeal to bored kids looking for fresh energies.. Spy Kids may have its faults, but, for adults, it's far from a Mission: Unwatchable.. As drama, After Earth offers no surprises; as action, it's rarely stimulating; as a parenting manual, it seems that Will has thrown Jaden into water that's a little too deep.. A fine, relatively non-violent example of pure family entertainment.. It's just a somewhat mundane coming-of-age story with a terribly miscast...
Robin Hood (2010) Download Full
There is a whole lot of meanwhile in this crowded, lumbering film.. If it's sword-on-sword with arrows-in-the-air action you want, Robin Hood delivers in a big way.. We never even get to see Robin steal from the rich and give to the poor. That's because the film is a prequel in search of a sequel. With any luck, we won't get one.. The film is pretty, and there are a few solid moments every hour. But considered as a work of cinema, with paid professionals involved, it's an extremely lackluster st...
Last Knights (2015) Play Movie
This is an unrelentingly dour take on the fantasy genre, ditching the wizards, dragons and rampant nudity - aka, the fun stuff.. This thing is so garbled and goofy it plays like a parody. Except it's not.. As predictable as the wrap-up of one of D.W. Griffith's moralistic epics. What's surprising is how much Last Knights feels as if Griffith's ghost could have directed it.. By the end, the viewers of Japanese director Kazuaki Kiriya's low-budget Middle-Ages riff may end up wondering what they've...
Superman Returns (2006) Full Movie Streaming
Superman Returns should swoop away with a big chunk of the summer box office, and deservedly so.. ... while I can't call it a home run, I'll say it's a solid base hit.. Superman, born in 1938, is still very much alive in 2006. The Man of Steel has so skillfully bent the bars of our imagination that he seems real to us. And in a sense, he is.. It's clear that Superman Returns wants to lay claim to being a true successor to the first film, not a sequel so much as a full-blooded offspring. But thes...
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012) Full Movie Streaming
If anything, this series has gotten dumber and more inert as it has progressed, with this last one finally reaching over into an extended wallow in camp.. I'll probably never understand the popularity of the Twilight movies. They're haphazardly assembled adaptations of awful books.. While parting involved no sorrow, it was sweeter than expected.. As billion-dollar Hollywood franchises go, this is one of the drawn-out dumbest. The stake through the heart comes not a moment too soon.. With so many...
Turbo Kid (2015) Play Movie
Brilliant. Epic. Haunting. Grotesque. Great.. The climactic chases, shootouts, and fistfights have been staged, filmed, and edited with insobriety. Visual clarity shouldn't be too much to ask from these movies, even if they fail to achieve ideological coherence.. If you have fond, 33-year-old memories of averting your young eyes from a propulsive parasite critter, Prometheus might just be your kind of return trip.. With a couple of elaborate action set pieces and some trippy, dreamlike sequences...
Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) Full Streaming
Appropriate for the wee ones, this flick promises to please parents who will inevitably be in for repeat viewings.. The latest DreamWorks Animation picture that leaves you jonesing for a little Pixar.. Whenever I watch an "Ice Age" movie, I understand how my mother felt whenever I zoned out in front of the television after school.. Lame scatalogical gags and worn pop-culture parodies abound, but the CGI animation romp is somewhat redeemed by the scene-stealing appearances of several supporting c...
Wrath of the Titans (2012) Watch Streaming
A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. I wonder how many meetings they had before they came up with that title. And didn't we just see this movie a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't it called Yours, Mine and Ours?. This feeble followup to 2010's godawful Clash of the Titans sucketh the mighty big one.. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side...
Iron Man (2008) Full Streaming
When the movie slows down to catch its breath, there's very little of the heart and soul -- and wry wit -- that make the Riordan books so beloved.. Downey is at his charismatic best, rendering believable Stark's transformation from self-indulgent jerk to socially conscious crusader.. This is a kids' movie: Parents can either get into the silly-suspenseful spirit of it or play Rummikub on their iPhones.. There are a few scenes in Iron Man that make you realize why we rely on giant studios and big...
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) Watch Streaming
Adults have the choice of either admiring the scenery or taking a nap. There's not much else worth doing. Certainly, paying attention to the story is an exercise in futility, but you're welcome to try.... The sequel to the big family hit Night at the Museum struggles with a big creative challenge. The sense of wonderment you feel in seeing museum displays magically come to life is not as strong the second time around.. The museum sparkles, but the movie is awfully dull.. Pleasant, innocuous and ...
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) Download Movie
The movie feels like an uneasy combination of new and old western stylings.. So long as there are people, there will be love stories -- I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.. This Yuma is Shane with a train.. Weitz's pacing is so limp you're going to need the electricity generated by a live audience to keep from yelling, "Hurry it up!". Alone of all the earnest players in this turgidly euphemistic melodrama, Sheen seems to grasp that the only way you can keep a straight face throu...
Peter Pan (2003) Download Full
What it is lacking is any kind of wonder. True fairy dust is in decidedly short supply and without it, the movie sinks like a cannonball.. If you've seen the others, you'll want to see this one. Let's face it -- there's no turning back.. .. even though Revenge is a better experience than Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones, it doesn't add anything that satisfying or compelling to the big picture.. Both enchantingly old-fashioned and daringly modern.. The trouble is that, as the plot quickens,...
The Golden Compass (2007) Download Full
Why is it so joyless?. The Golden Compass is a blatant attempt to duplicate the success of the Harry Potter franchise. The only thing missing is richly imagined characters, a comprehensible story line, good acting, and satisfying special effects.. The carefully crafted look, in which fabulous fantasy mingles with hand-woven sweaters, offers a visual feast. The acting is impeccable from performers to voices.. Weitz's film is short, punchy and efficient, and it's full of engaging spectacle.. Will ...
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) Play Streaming
Yakin doesn't condescend to his audience, and infuses his plot with a surprisingly ambitious and revealing commentary about the experience of war.. The movie is downright laughable when it isn't merely unpleasant.. It has the feel of a TV drama renewed for one season too many, a last, furtive run at the till before it closes for business.. Max is an absurdly violent PG-rated movie in which kids and dogs are repeatedly in peril.. Ahoy me hearties, No. 4 is surprisingly not bad.. Except for one mo...
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) Watch Streaming
Witherspoon uses her own undoubted discomfort with the physical demands of the role to make us feel Strayed's predicament in our bones.. Alas, there's nothing quite memorable here: much of the combat is just a whirl of movement photographed up close. As the X-Men series has progressed, the startling poetic extravagances of the first film have given way to flesh-pounding clumsiness.. With some dire blue-screen effects, dizzying tonal instability and a total absence of suspense or originality, 'Wo...
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) Watch Streaming
A kitchen-sink fantasy, in both mood and content. It is exciting, funny, adventurous, magical and very romantic. The special effects are great, but the characters are even better.. When Gandalf arrives with reinforcements, descending a near-vertical slope using horses where you or I would use snowboards, the spirit of triumphant rampage is something rarely glimpsed since the days of Olivier and Henry V.. It won't change your life but you'll walk away smiling.. Rather than go to the trouble of cr...
The Expendables 3 (2014) Download Movie
Not as flag-wavingly cheesy as it might have been - but that doesn't make it a good film.. Those first two movies look like Seven Samurai next to The Expendables 3, a sad, bad, parade of uninspired cameos and listless violence.. It's the Walmart of feel-good family films: accessible, cheaply made, useful in a pinch and full of American flags.. Dullness, as well as hoary preachiness, neuters the family-and-their-war-dog drama "Max.". Yakin doesn't condescend to his audience, and infuses his plot ...
Pompeii (2014) Full Movie Streaming
[The film] runs a reasonable-sounding 92 minutes. Yet those 92 feel like more than enough.. No matter how much lava is afoot, there's always time to impale one more person with a sword.. You wonder if Paul W.S. Anderson is a director who might feel disrespected.. Harington transformed his body for the role, but here's the real disaster: His startlingly defined six-pack abs are the most memorable part of his character.. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water mostly nails what has always made th...
Into the Blue (2005) Online Streaming
Any potential guilty pleasure is washed away in a sea of icky sermonizing.. Not a thriller so much as an extremely violent swimsuit calendar.. Manages to create a winning Caribbean vibe that stretches into a fun popcorn flick.. I don't think there's anything wrong with an escapist adventure, but if you're rolling your eyes in disbelief at the plot and the dialogue, it makes it hard to enjoy the scenery.. Though marketed as brain-dead youth fodder, it's even worse than it looks.. Too long at 110 ...
Fool's Gold (2008) Watch Streaming
As a spectacle, The Polar Express looks remarkable. As a film, however, it's the equivalent of an elaborately wrapped Christmas present containing a nice new pair of socks.. Without a trace of real live people, you get special effects that are not special, visual talking points without personality, virtual reality that is anything but real.. It is such a prefabricated, false-feeling, scattered and awkward stab at a romantic comedy you feel embarrassed for everyone involved and sorry for anyone w...
