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...
World War Z (2013) Full Streaming
World War Z opens with an undeniable bang. But if this is the way the world ends, we're going out with a whimper.. 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.. [It] does not try to extend the boundaries of commercial entertainment but does what it can to find interesting ways to pass the time within them.. This enjoyable shambles of a sci-fi thriller, directed by Marc Forster in...
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...
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...
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...
Home (2015) Play Movie
[A] lousy, ugly-looking, intensely illogical movie.. The combination of Home's layered message, fun score, and clever comedy make it a colorful choice for moviegoers of any age.. The film moves quickly and keeps the jokes coming, which only means that "Home" would rather keep young viewers occupied than give them something to think about.. A charming concoction with positive messages for younger children about conquering fears, understanding outsiders and knowing yourself.. It works moderately w...
The Green Inferno (2013) Full Movie Streaming
There's enough horror remixed here -- of the Heart of Darkness version -- to engage our current moment. That should be one of the obligations of a reboot.. Let's not pretend we're watching art!. Mark Hamill is particularly good in this film.. Jedi couldn't end the Star Wars trilogy on a happier note.. There's no great meaning here - it's a basic story of rebellion and redemption. But there's such energy and visual invention in a world so fully realized and dazzling that the roller coaster ride i...
The Pyramid (2014) 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 !!. 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 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.. Music perfectly fits with the mov...
Penguins of Madagascar (2014) Download Movie
You have to respect a kids' cartoon that kicks off with a Werner Herzog joke - even one so willfully, wondrously stupid and lighthearted as Penguins of Madagascar.. However, even with all of well-intentioned references and good humor, Penguins doesn't break new ground. The film is fun, light-hearted fare that could be watched in the comfort of a long car ride to Grandma's house.. For my money, [the] first 20 or so minutes are the best in the film. Once the real adventure gets underway in the cav...
