Interstellar (2014) Play Movie

After the first hour, with its poignant depiction of humanity's decline, Interstellar always seems to be rebuilding its momentum, offering plenty to think about but little to hold on to.. 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!!. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. The parts of...

Blade: Trinity (2004) Online Streaming

Lacks anything vaguely resembling a plot, while failing to deliver suspense or thrills.. Watching Blade: Trinity is like being rolled down a marble staircase in an oil drum. The movie is loud, dark, bumpy and not even a little fun.. Diverting but dumb and more goth than gothic, Blade: Trinity builds up to a less-than-epochal smackdown.. This year's entry in the Movies You Admire and Respect but Don't Ever Want to Watch Again Sweepstakes.. The most arresting aspect of The Road is just how fully t...

The Martian (2015) Full Streaming

Turns out getting stranded on Mars can lead to a whole lot of fun.. The film is a profound testament to the rare-and underrated-virtue of simply not screwing anything up.. This is science fiction for sophisticated audiences and, as such, a fulfilling and satisfying experience.. It's a brisk, funny piece of competence-porn sci-fi.. A tremendously exciting popcorn spectacle, and also a portrait of extraplanetary survival convincing enough that it had my tech-obsessed 11-year-old companion on his f...

The A-Team (2010) Play Movie

The A-Team is reasonably good fun. If you're a 12-year-old boy riding an intense Cherry Pepsi buzz and totally devoted to destroying some brain cells, that is.. I pity the fool who fails to share the popcorn.. The characters ... are without interest. Their problems are not our problems. But the sheer motion, the spectacle and the flashes of wit take The A-Team out of the realm of garbage. It's fun.. No onea(TM)s coming to a big-screen version of the lunkheaded TV show expecting The Hurt Locker. ...

Stardust (2007) Watch Full Movie

An overstuffed, overlong epic with a tongue-in-cheek approach that repeatedly begs unfavorable comparisons with The Princess Bride.. Stardust suffers from uneven pacing and some cheesy-looking special effects. But the fine cast keeps things watchable.. . Stardust [feels] episodic and clunky, constantly straining for the impression of overall coherent design that Gaiman renders invisible.. . Everybody has a lot of fun here.. No, Stardust isn't a children's movie. It's a movie for anyone, of any a...

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Full Streaming

For the most part, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is the hard-charging, mind-boggling spectacle fans are looking for. Smash indeed.. The amazing thing about Avengers: Age of Ultron is that it's reasonably enjoyable while feeling less like a movie than an epic sowing of seeds for multiple Marvel properties.. As before, the greatest fun is in watching the original Avengers, all fine actors who've made the characters their own.. It is, in short, more disposable than the mere mortal blockbusters it was d...

Alice in Wonderland (2010) Full Streaming

Indecision haunts every frame. The result is a clattering, hectic spectacle that by the end has run out of inspiration. It's a home for abandoned ideas.. No knockouts here. No tkos, either.. . . Its single biggest failing -- an affront to Lewis Carroll and the charms of nonsense literature -- is the fact that it makes sense.. Burton, one of the great visual artists in Hollywood history, is incapable of making an uninteresting movie. Still, I'm not looking forward to the sequel promised in the la...

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) Full Streaming

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 ...

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'...

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...
