Hector and the Search for Happiness (2014) Full Movie Streaming

A movie that lacks the jingoistic bravura of earlier editions ... but hasn't replaced it with meaningful historical revisionism appropriate to our post-colonial age.. It's an essentially stupid movie.. A movie bearing as faux-naive a title as this has to make a pretty good case for itself. This it decidedly does not do.. At times the whole thing is a hippie's beard whisker away from a clueless pop star on a charidee PR trip to a developing country.. A rousing if retro adventure film about soldie...

127 Hours (2010) Watch Full Movie

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 it’s thrilling to behold.. 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 ...

Spider-Man 3 (2007) Play Streaming

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets works the kind of magic that Hollywood rarely displays: It's a sequel that's better than the original.. Big, dull and empty.. In all fairness, I must report that the children of varying ages in my audience never coughed, fidgeted or romped up and down the aisles for bathroom breaks.. An extravagant three-ring circus of a movie from director Sam Raimi, but it's not without a struggle.. Maguire has made Peter/Spidey all his own; the supporting characters are...

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) Play Streaming

Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. This is a grittier webslinger saga, led by a Peter Parker with swagger and angst and a tone defined more by emotional resonance than wide-eyed wonder. It still has plenty of fizz.. Dumbed down, tarted up, and almost shockingly uninspired, it's the worst superhero movie since Green Lantern.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above y...

Men in Black II (2002) Play Streaming

The picture's definitely entertaining, in fits and starts. It's also joyless.. The predictable effort makes the movie seem longer than its audience-friendly 88 minutes, and the script deficiencies account for the high number of alien and human supporting players.. Instead of inhabiting the same world of his original, the delightful 1997 Men in Black, or inventing a new world, this update kitschifies it, rendering it into a silly joke.. The movie's smart, funny and fairly forgettable.. Men in Bla...

The Fall (2006) Watch Streaming

A good-hearted, funny movie.. Feels like some lame, focus-grouped attempt by a bunch of people who have grown hopelessly middle-aged to make themselves hip with the kids.. . Pace and Untaru generate an unforced chemistry that makes them pleasant company for a couple of hours, but they almost work against the movie's need to establish narrative tension. They appear to be having such a good time that Roy's self-destructive impu. That's the trouble with candy, the eye kind or the tooth-decaying var...

Monsters, Inc. (2001) Play Movie

It may be harder nowadays to dazzle audiences with fancy visual effects, but Monsters, Inc. 3D proves that smart, imaginative storytelling still does the trick every time.. I enjoyed it.. It's agreeable and often funny, and adults who take their kids to see it might be surprised to find themselves having a pretty good time.. The good guys are those who realize that laughter is stronger than fear. That's a message worth taking to heart these jittery days.. The movie itself stands up well, even fr...
