A Walk in the Woods (2015) Download Full

It's not a difficult picture to watch. All you want from A Walk in the Woods, honestly, is a chance to enjoy a couple of veteran actors. But the book's comic tone hasn't found a comfortable equivalent for the screen.. This is the most technically amazing motion picture to have arrived on screens in many years.. Nolte has three Oscar acting nominations to his credit, Redford has one; In A Walk in the Woods they show what true cinematic chemistry is all about without appearing to be acting at all....

Mission: Impossible III (2006) Play Streaming

Well, it has aliens, for one thing.. "Battleship" doesn't sink, really. It just sits there booming endlessly as you look on aghast.. If it's sword-on-sword with arrows-in-the-air action you want, Robin Hood delivers in a big way.. The grand finale? A fistfight, after which somebody gets run over. Listen, if I want to see that kind of action, I don't go to Shanghai. I don't even go to the movies. I go to the South Bronx and stand outside a bar.. One can be sure that heroic characters get what the...

Bridge to Terabithia (2007) Download Movie

This screen adaptation of Katherine Paterson's now-classic novel for young readers tells its story with agreeable simplicity in between computer-generated monsters.. This is Csupo's feature directorial debut, but as creator, producer, and writer of Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys, among several other series, he's had a long career in animation, and he handles the CGI setpieces masterfully.. The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.. Terabithia has buckets of ...

Insurgent (2015) Full Streaming

Taken for what it is, Insurgent is a vast improvement over the franchise's first installment, mostly thanks to expansion in two arenas: budget and scope.. Unlike Divergent, which required pages of premise-establishing exposition, Insurgent is more purely action-centric, as the hunters hunt and the hunted flee through the trees, hopping freight trains, trying to elude capture.. The action sequences are well done, some of the visuals are spectacular, and at it's heart Insurgent is wrestling with s...

Pacific Rim (2013) Watch Streaming

If you thought there was only so much to be done with ice and snow as visual fields, think again along the lines of prismatic crystals, epic storms and fantastical structures built on water's gift for freezing itself into see-through art.. I really like this movie. thank you. After a long cycle of action movies in which the protagonists spend most of their downtime introspecting about their heroic obligations, Pacific Rim is something different: a heart-warming team-building exercise.. Most impo...

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012) Watch Streaming

Director Robert Zemeckis once again harnesses a new technology to an engaging fable in this digitally animated adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's holiday tale.. Not only do Van Allsburg's darkly magical illustrations come to glorious life in the film; so, too, do his familiar words.. While there are some amusing moments involving the film's stellar cast of second bananas, the "quirky" and utterly artificial love story at its center makes Armageddon feel like the preferable option.. One of the ye...

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) Full Streaming

It's a big, bold, schizophrenic pageant that still manages to work on a surprising number of levels -- creative liberties and indulgences be damned.. Unless you're intimately familiar with the so-called Marvel universe (or you really love CG explosions), little of this will resonate.. "The First Avenger" was a work of art, while "The Winter Soldier" is serviceable entertainment.. While more than enough praise has been poured on Jackson and his singular gift for CG spectacle, Martin Freeman deser...

Treasure Planet (2002) Watch Streaming

If Treasure Planet falls short of Lion King's classic status, it still proves there is plenty of room in animation for movies that aren't geared exclusively to 8-year-olds.. Sci-fi meets sea-faring fantasy, and the mix isn't half bad.. Enjoy the spectacle.. Better than OK, but no Spirited Away.. Despite more betrayal and loyalty than a Chris Carabba box set, there's no real good or evil here.. I think kids will find it really entertaining, and parents will find it amusing enough.. Treasure Plane...

The Incredible Hulk (2008) Download Movie

The climax is a bit of a yawn, but most of what precedes it is vigorous and sharp.. Look deeply into Stardust and all you see is a slightly diluted Princess Bride, and a happily-ever-after you've seen a dozen times before.. An overstuffed, overlong epic with a tongue-in-cheek approach that repeatedly begs unfavorable comparisons with The Princess Bride.. A more satisfactory adaptation of the spirit of Stan Lee's Marvel character.. Digital spectacle is both too much and too little, and it's begin...

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) Full Streaming

Not only is it not funny, it's offensive.. Think you're too hip for Japanese anime about a lost ten-year-old girl whose parents turn into snorting pigs? Get over it.. An innocuously smutty road comedy starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston.. This time the exposition is so thick that everyone except acolytes may tune out.. a movie written by a committee, too long, but the cast carries it a long way, these mild virtues don't quite add up to a recommendation, but if you said you wanted to see...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) Watch Full Movie

Taut, immersive, and alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, a well-balanced blend of whooping Wild West action and space opera.. There's still enough suspense built into the saga to keep us watching, but after five installments, this dazzling box office wizard is slowly running out of tricks.. This ponderous drama from director Kazuaki Kiriya quickly gets weighed down by its own blood-drenched armor.. Once upon a time, filmmakers had the luxury of giving their genre movies time to breathe; you...

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Online Streaming

A succession of chases and fanciful combats, more akin to Dungeons & Dragons than to Carroll, leads to a peculiarly truncated climax. The 3-D effects are enjoyable, but the added depth can't make up for deficits in the concept or the plot.. Much of Carroll's magical nonsense remains, even if Burton's film wobbles at the gates of anarchy and ends up being a more average affair than many might expect.. Captain America: The First Avenger is pretty good, insofar as it's not nearly as terrible as it ...

Jupiter Ascending (2015) Download Full

Jupiter Ascending's early cleverness dries up quickly, especially when Kunis is offscreen, leaving us with just another incoherent sci-fi spectacle.. A movie so jaw-droppingly awful that you can't wait to see what happens next (and that was without the use of mood-altering substances on my part).. Upon exiting, my wearied delight with Jupiter Ascending coexisted with pure bafflement. But I exited knowing that I'd seen a movie no other filmmaker could have made.. The universe that the writers-dir...

How to Train Your Dragon (2010) Watch Full Movie

Though the dragons are cool in their various forms and the battle scenes are epic and exciting, watching two former foes become friends is what really makes the story fly.. How to Train Your Dragon uses its whiz-bang technology to amplify feelings as well as dimension and scale. The big optical wow is only the half of it.. A charming but weightless adventure tale.. This middle section, in which both Carter and the audience get a crash course in the politics, history, and theology of the Red Plan...

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...

Babylon A.D. (2008) Watch Full Movie

A noisier, costlier version of Children of Men, yet lacking that film's social-political significance and jaw-dropping direction.. "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.. An intriguing enough remix of well-established assassin-on-the-run routine whose greatest asset is its young star.. With his face like a squashed doughnut, and physique ...

Iron Man 3 (2013) Watch Streaming

Iron Man 3 has good things in it, enough to please the series' fans -- and yet too many drawbacks to win many converts.. After a while, the steady diet of tongue-in-cheek starts to taste monotonous as day-old gum.. Just like he does with those crummy Sherlock Holmes movies, Downey elevates this rather flimsy material with his sheer presence.. It's a confidently tongue-in-cheek piece of blockbuster engineering, sweetly calibrated to Downey's cavalier appeal and to Kingsley's oddball interjections...

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013) Online Streaming

A garish mediocrity.. Marvel Comics continues to empty out its stable of superheroes with this entertaining tale.. [The writers are] so busy setting up the premise that they barely get around to exploiting it.. With its broad humour and less than serious tone, it's clearly aimed at tween and teen set and it's likely to be a crowd-pleaser among that demographic.. The comic book adventure is a fun, escapist change of pace from all the politically weighted popcorn fare on the scene this season.. Fa...

The Expendables (2010) Watch Streaming

A Knight's Tale should be ridiculous, and it is: ridiculously entertaining.. No go, "Joe.". If you like watching men with no necks thumping each other, this could be your Citizen Kane.. Rather than reviving the actors' 80s heyday, The Expendables only demonstrates how much action films have changed in recent years.. There's no one to blame but Stallone for action sequences that degenerate into incoherence, to the point where it's impossible to know who's truck is exploding and who's shooting at ...
