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...

Shrek (2001) Download Full

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.. ...

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...

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...

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...

On the Road (2012) Full Streaming

Although Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" has been praised as a milestone in American literature, this film version brings into question how much of a story it really offers.. The Adventures of Tintin can be a delight to look at, even if motion capture isn't your particular cup of animation tea.. One gets the sense that directors Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable have their hearts in the action sequences and not in the characters, and that's a problem.. If I wanted to spend two hours watching a plu...

WALL·E (2008) Play Movie

If there's one thing certain in this new instalment of Jurassic Park, it's that the critters are a whole lot smarter, faster and interesting than the Homo sapiens dropping in on them.. The most consistent production unit in Hollywood just hit another home run.. Put simply, WALL-E is about as charming as movies get.. The third time around is at least one time too many.. It doesn't take long to figure out that Shrek is not going to be your ordinary animated fairy tale.. This latest achievement fro...

Spider-Man 3 (2007) Play Streaming

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets works the kind of magic that Hollywood rarely displays: It's a sequel that's better than the original.. Big, dull and empty.. In all fairness, I must report that the children of varying ages in my audience never coughed, fidgeted or romped up and down the aisles for bathroom breaks.. An extravagant three-ring circus of a movie from director Sam Raimi, but it's not without a struggle.. Maguire has made Peter/Spidey all his own; the supporting characters are...

The Fall (2006) Watch Streaming

A good-hearted, funny movie.. Feels like some lame, focus-grouped attempt by a bunch of people who have grown hopelessly middle-aged to make themselves hip with the kids.. . Pace and Untaru generate an unforced chemistry that makes them pleasant company for a couple of hours, but they almost work against the movie's need to establish narrative tension. They appear to be having such a good time that Roy's self-destructive impu. That's the trouble with candy, the eye kind or the tooth-decaying var...

Monsters, Inc. (2001) Play Movie

It may be harder nowadays to dazzle audiences with fancy visual effects, but Monsters, Inc. 3D proves that smart, imaginative storytelling still does the trick every time.. I enjoyed it.. It's agreeable and often funny, and adults who take their kids to see it might be surprised to find themselves having a pretty good time.. The good guys are those who realize that laughter is stronger than fear. That's a message worth taking to heart these jittery days.. The movie itself stands up well, even fr...

Bee Movie (2007) Watch Full Movie

Harmless fun for the whole family.. What I like about Bee Movie is its comfy, off-the-cuff charm: unlike a lot of animated family entertainment, it's not all Thwack Smash Kaboom.. Bee Movie is a cute movie. Not that there's anything ... well, you know the rest. But cute is not what adults expect from Jerry Seinfeld, although children will be delighted.. It's impersonal. It doesn't come from anywhere interesting.. The movie is like one of those ships in a bottle -- lovely and painstaking, as gran...

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) Full Streaming

Azaria pretty much steals the show.. . A crackling good adventure, a visually sumptuous effort.. 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 characters and story are mere narrative lubricant to get us from one digitally goosed sensory assault to the next.. . This blandly conceived and executed attempt at a juve-style Indiana Jones wi...

Predators (2010) Watch Full Movie

. The Kings of Summer is the cinematic equivalent of an Arctic-cold popsicle on a Sahara-hot day. Refreshing and satisfying but not overly sentimental, the film taps into the frustrations of adolescence with warmth and wit.. Vogt-Roberts makes the scenery look great, but doesn't call the plays that could make the movie score. Scenes don't develop, characters don't evolve except in indie-movie-cute ways.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordina...

Green Lantern (2011) Play Streaming

Comic-Con geeks and cinephiles alike will gape at the resplendent imagery (but don ye specs, and see it in 3-D).. Even by the standards of the current run of mediocre comic-book movies, this one stands out for its egregious shoddiness.. Heads roll, arteries gush and spleens spill across the IMAX screen in Beowulf, just as you'd expect in a screen adaptation of the oldest surviving epic poem in the English language.. He's an ambiguously...heroic hero.. The superhero genre is the home-court of the...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) Online Streaming

Downey may think this interpretation is an insight, or funny, but it pushes what was already a rude rewriting of the classic characters into eye-rolling camp. And it throws everything off balance.. Despite its brainy title, "Monsters University" only earns a passing grade on its looks.. What hasn't advanced is the plotting, which was nothing special last time and is so formulaic now that it's basically surprise-free.. The chemistry between Watson and Holmes is spotty, and their banter grows tedi...

Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. I really like this movie. thank you. The result is a film not quite sure of itself, like it's wearing clothes a size too big.. It relishes low-class ugliness.. 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 c...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) Play Movie

The whole Harry Potter thing may not be as fresh for moviegoers as it was last year, but thankfully Chamber of Secrets is well-crafted.. Two down, presumably five to go, and already the franchise is entering dangerous territory: if you aren't one of the many who know their Harry Potter chapter and verse, prepare for a nap.. It's beautiful to look at. The talking cars feel more alive than talking cars should.. Along came the interstate, apparently, and ruined everything. Just like that darned Int...

The Island (2005) Play Streaming

Bay's action is flashy enough to compensate for some of the shortcomings of the script.. As usual, Bay stages the action at a breakneck pace that's never frenetic enough to obscure his film's plot holes and logical lapses.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Increasingly hard to follow, with too many dull patches along the way.. Since Michael Bay never knows when enough is enough, every chase is restaged over and again and the narrative matrix is as simplistic as it is r...

Kung Fu Panda (2008) Watch Streaming

A master [course] in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment.. Very much a Hollywood production -- formulaic, made for marketing and never quite as inspired as it could have been.. The movie has lean, to-the-point simplicity, which is refreshing in an era when so many films take needlessly bloated, talky routes into their story (for more on this, see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).. The message -- believe in yourself even when all evidence suggests you shouldn'...
