Much of Will's dialogue consists of life lessons imparted to the boy, and they sound like a motivational seminar.. Ultimately, it seems more bland than bad.. The Beach wears its self-importance on its sleeve, but never truly earns it.. It's impossible to take this movie seriously, certainly not as seriously as it takes itself.. . Tedious and unsatisfying.. A film in which the text and subtext-an effortlessly gifted father presses his less-talented son to follow in his footsteps-are in perfect al...

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...
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...
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015) Full Movie Streaming
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!!. 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 characters they all give convincing performances.. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appr...
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...
