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...
Chef (2014) Watch Full Movie
Although overly familiar, the behind-the-scenes food shenanigans are often lively and sharply written.. Chef won't knock your socks off, but it believes in itself - and for Favreau, that's all that matters.. The movie's problems aren't small: It moves slowly, meanders everywhere and never quite arrives at a destination.. Chef is lightweight, and could be seen as just a blatant attempt to cash in on the whole food-truck phenomenon, but it's so engaging that it really doesn't matter.. An epic abou...
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...
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...
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...
Alexander (2004) Online Streaming
A lunk-headed train wreck that looks like a tag sale in a 323 B.C. supermarket in old Peking.. Farrell plays all this as if he means it, but he seems slight in the role and without great physical presence.. At a reported cost of $155 million, Alexander qualifies as a super-spectacle in every respect but one -- namely in its neurotic, confused and sexually ambidextrous hero.. This is Stone's weakest movie of the past 20 years, and it's unlikely to make any kind of blip.. It's just a wild, gloriou...
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...
Big Game (2014) Online Streaming
"Big Game" never once feels credible, and that's why it's so entertaining. Almost nothing that takes place in this movie could occur in the real world, and there's something comforting about that.. . Stone and his team of screenwriters paint an incomplete picture of the man and those he led.. Gleefully dumb but eager to entertain, this is cheeseball stuff baked with deliciously outsized performances and low comedy and photographed across mighty beautiful landscapes.. As a throwback, Big Game und...
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) Play 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.. The religious sentiment accumulates into a tower of politically correct Jell-O.. Dramatically, the problem is it's a lot easier to root for someone battling tigers and gladiators than it is to cheer on a guy wondering about the meaning of life. This is why Wa...

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing.

Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) Full Movie Streaming
I really like this movie. thank you. 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.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and...
King Arthur (2004) Online Streaming
Gladiator lite.. Most folks, when asked about the legend of King Arthur, don't immediately conjure up an image of Keira Knightley in a leather bikini.. This middling King Arthur doesn't waste time developing character -- or coherence -- when a big, joyless, synthetic battle will do.. It's a solid, somber, rousing piece of studio zirconium: cobbled together from Gladiator, Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, The Magnificent Seven, and five tons of Hollywood hooey.. That the movie works is because of t...
Sky High (2005) Play Movie
It seems only fair now to let kids from every other country line up to escort Samuel L. Jackson to safety. What kinds of misadventures could he get up to in Uruguay, or Mauritania?. My 12-year-old self would have liked this movie a lot. The 25-year-old me likes it a bit more than he cares to admit.. . The story penned by Helander with Petri Jokiranta goes heavy on the hokum, not to mention the CGI fireworks, but a dialled-down Jackson and a fired-up Tommila make for an entertaining pair.. This i...
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (2005) Online Streaming
Shark Boy and Lava Girl have about as much appeal as a dogfish and a melting Barbie doll.. [Chan's] acrobatic action sequences remain eye-catching as ever. You can't get this kind of full-on sensory-jolt anywhere else, not legally anyway.. Lee displays only glimmers of the cartoonish, gonzo sensibility that once made him seem like an interesting talent. In its place is strained seriousness and a butt-ugly digital palette of tan and sand.. It's terrible 3-D. I think the story is terrible as well....
