The film is never more than an amalgamation of other movies.. "Hanna" is, on a certain level, ridiculous. But the way Mr. Wright conjures his images and parcels out his narrative is hypnotic and so seductive that wherever the film is heading we want to follow.. Without whatever strident critique Kassovitz intends, it's a typical B action movie -- the inevitable pseudo-warm bonding scenes deadly, the fights largely incoherent -- with the occasional pleasing set-piece.. Skip it aggressively.. Baby...

The Polar Express (2004) Online Streaming
Barrels across the trackless landscape of our affections, arriving where no one would have thought to look for a big-budget Hollywood movie: in the terrain of the heart.. A failed and lifeless experiment in which everything goes wrong.. Strap yourself in and try not to vomit, because this is more of a theme-park event than a movie -- Pirates of the Caribbean in reverse, a wild ride stripped of its story, down to a rattling series of obvious, underwhelming effects.. An enchanting, beautiful and b...
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) Play Streaming
I thought it was mischievous and witty and amusing and I was just sort of drawn into it.. Has all the CGI sorcery of a Harry Potter pic, but none of the magic.. Likable as Percy may be, it's not lightning he's stolen.. Percy Jackson, you are no Harry Potter. You are not fit to walk in a hobbit's wake.. This is generic filmmaking at its most banal, a simple-minded simplification of a not overwhelmingly complex book.. When the movie slows down to catch its breath, there's very little of the heart ...
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) Watch Full Movie
As a movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has no inner life -- no pulse -- of its own: It's secondhand.. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, director Tim Burton does his best work in years.. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is, despite its trickery, that plainest and least surprising of artifacts: the work of art that is exactly the sum of its parts, neither more nor less.. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good movie to be watched for sure.. I doubt that mos...
The Lego Movie (2014) Play Streaming
Not since June Carter Cash in Walk the Line has Witherspoon been so present to a character. Her Cheryl is funny and messy, wounded but not without survival instincts.. Maybe the lack of answers is the point. How do you save your life by hiking 1,000 miles? By putting one foot in front of the other.. The movie gets much of the book and has the added benefit of scenery - lots of it, deserts and mountains and forests spreading out to the far horizons.. The brightly-imagined Lego Movie is a wickedly...
Holes (2003) Download Movie
The basics of the story remain unchanged, but it's the wanna-be-blockbuster additions that rankle, be it the incoherent direction of first-time feature director Carl Rinsch or the copious CGI beasties who look like rejected Lord of the Rings villains.. Solemn as a funeral march, humorless as your junior high principal, as Japanese as a grocery-store California roll, Keanu Reeves's let's-mope-about-and-kill-ourselves samurai drama has exactly three things going for it.. The latest and least of th...
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) Play Streaming
It ought to sink from the weight of the cargo, but it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp.. Although there are memorable bits and pieces, the new Pirates of the Caribbean is a movie with no particular interest in coherence, economy or feeling.. It's too long, unnecessarily complicated and often silly, but Gore Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is still the purest popcorn entertainment of the summer.. The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, bein...
The Descent (2005) Online Streaming
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen feels overly busy, unwieldy and hollow.. Ill-conceived, sloppily directed, shoddily acted, LXG looks like the work of a confederacy of dunces.. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen just plain reeks.. This intermittently effective UK horror thriller carefully establishes the psychological relationships among the women, then squanders this calibrated and generally plausible setup with a series of crude, implausible, and scattershot horror effects.. Working on...
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) Online Streaming
The animation is first-rate, with moments of genuine visual imagination, and the story, while unremarkable, is entirely adequate.. The 3-D effects are standard, the children and the prince are a bit bland, and Michael Apted's direction veers into listlessness, but there is, at times, a pleasing elegance to the production, too. It doesn't assault you.. A film which, if not truly sophisticated, isn't nearly as crude as advertised.. This picture... mostly plays like a perfunctory cross between wate...
Thor: The Dark World (2013) Download Movie
This action-adventure sequel from Marvel soon turns so dumb and 3-D-murky that it hurts.. It's like a smorgasbord designed to give fans all they can eat -- or a roadside 24-hour buffet that clocks in, blessedly, at a mere two hours. Its welcoming air and variety can't fully disguise its lack of top-notch ingredients.. Dancing above a leaden plot and lumpy dialogue, Mr. Hiddleston moves his fine-boned features and graceful body, as if what he were doing matters; he seems imported from a quite dif...
The Wolverine (2013) Online Streaming
Like most superhero films, "The Wolverine" depends mostly on sheer mechanics -- both in front of and behind the camera -- and on that level it's a resounding success.. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water mostly nails what has always made the character, and his brightly coloured underwater world, so endearing: the abundant innocence, the welcome lack of cynicism and the out-and-out stupidity.. Instead of expounding a tedious origin story or staging an epic battle for apocalyptic stakes, "The...
The Brothers Grimm (2005) Download Movie
Don't expect new horizons in the annals of odd-couple, comedy-action flicks.. A darker, deeper fantasy epic than the Rings trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia or the Potter films. It springs from the same world of quasi-philosophical magic, but creates more complex villains and poses more intriguing questions.. . . A pretty good fantasy -- with different bits of Potter and Jules Verne and Narnia all mixed up together into something new.. . Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's decision to pursue a movie car...
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) Play Streaming
Surrounding the flashy heroics, however, is a lot of stilted drama. Unresolved subplots make the movie longer than it needs to be.. As always, the biggest screams emanating from the audience come when Lautner bares his chest.. ... a lesson in prehistoric hilarity.. Viewers who value the little things, such as passable acting and dialogue not stolen from a sixth-grader's diary, will once again walk away dazed, dumbfounded and partially deaf from all the surrounding squealing.. If you're going to ...
Wildlike (2015) Full Streaming
Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and its thrilling to behold.. I really like this movie. thank you. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. A movie can have a superb story, a...
Noah (2014) Online Streaming
There's so much delusion and so much delight in "Noah" that I have trouble distinguishing one from the other, or determining whether its most outlandish flourishes qualify as mistakes or as strokes of genius.. Yes, it's brightly colored carnival fun. But this ride, in the end, only goes round and round and round. Which is ultimately more ho-hum than ho-ho-ho.. One of the most dazzling and unforgettable Biblical epics ever put on film.. For all the high-tech showmanship on display, this retelling...
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) Full Streaming
Relentlessly dense and unfathomable; Depp, the heart and soul of the series, doesn't even show up till several reels in.. . In terms of pure adventure, there's less of it here than in Pirates 2 -- the action doesn't really start until about two hours in, and even then it's hard to understand the shifting allegiances or make sense of why the different sides are fighting.. Not so much thought out as strung together -- colorful incident upon colorful incident, but without logic, gathering suspense ...
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) Play Movie
Mainly for "Night at the Museum" diehards.. Thor is essentially Marvel's answer to Superman and, as with The Man of Steel, it can be difficult to craft a tale around a hero who is essentially invincible.. Dancing above a leaden plot and lumpy dialogue, Mr. Hiddleston moves his fine-boned features and graceful body, as if what he were doing matters; he seems imported from a quite different movie.. A beautiful muddle from The Matrix-making Wachowski siblings.. A movie so jaw-droppingly awful that ...

Will Condon's movie convert agnostics to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight cult?. . Melodrama reigns in this supernatural soap opera, even though author Stephanie Meyer's tale takes a decided turn toward the weird and violent.. It all goes wrong just when it should go right.. Kung Fu Panda gets across important and inevitable plot information in ways that are novel and unexpected. Things simply don't happen the way they usually happen in animated stories.. The fleeting, incomplete glimpses of the monst...
Frozen (2013) Full Movie Streaming
This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. Frozen establishes a strong, confident tone: Cool mythology, rich, vivid animation, and 3-D effects that are actually worth seeing, not just migraine-inducing distractions.. Make way for a new kind of fairy tale. These Frozen princesses are the kind we can definitely warm to.. I really like this movie. thank you. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good mov...
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) Download Movie
What will allow the remaining films to prosper, is the words that we hear at the start, from an elderly caretaker: "Bloody kids.". Goblet of Fire is more effective in these smaller, more intimate moments than in the bloated bombast of its larger set pieces.. The Transformers are brilliant, brave, world-conquering space travelers. Time to morph into something entertaining.. Kloves has streamlined J. K. Rowling's 700-plus-page opus into cinematic fighting form. And the special effects, which threa...
