The dialogue is weak and the science has gone from incredulous to silly.. In an era when much on film seems old, Shrek seems new and fresh and clever.. It doesn't take long to figure out that Shrek is not going to be your ordinary animated fairy tale.. Bad news is the only news in Jurassic Park III.. This is beautiful work.. One staggeringly silly movie.. What gives Shrek its special artistic distinction is its witty and knowingly sassy dialogue, delivered by vocally charismatic performers whose...

As a reworking of one of the great 1960s TV comedies, you'd think being funny would be its main goal. But you would be wrong. Very, very wrong.. Overall this is a limp parade of recycled gags and gadgets: an action movie with no surprises and a comedy with nothing like enough laughs.. So bad on so many levels.. A little more unabashed silliness might have made Get Smart a better movie. As is it's a chuckly comfort-food film that you neither love nor hate, serviceable fare for a warm summer daze....
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...
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Download Movie
"Guardians of the Galaxy" has wit, energy and zaniness to spare. It will pop your corn and leave you hungry for more.. As directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy never takes itself seriously and it's often a visual and musical treat. The Runaways' Cherry Bomb and David Bowie's Moonage Daydream? Yes, please.. Though based on a comics series launched in 1969, "Guardians" comes on with a hip, absurdist humor that feels thoroughly modern.. What sounds like a strained miscalculation turns out...
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...
The Kings of Summer (2013) Full Streaming
An unconventional coming-of-age story that's likely to appeal to the rebellious teen in all of us.. In its small, independent way, "The Kings of Summer" rules.. Starts out as a raunchy teen comedy, slips into nature-epic mode, then adds a romantic triangle and finally finds a comfort zone in family-sitcom land.. 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 characte...
X-Men (2000) Download Full
It's darker, more complex and far more substantive than anything in the Superman or Batman cinematic series.. The X-Men comic books have spawned a cottage industry of mutant characters, and the movie helps make sense of these legions while offering the established fan base something new to cheer.. X-Men plays like a so-so middle chapter of an epic series rather than a fitting kickoff.. Exciting mainly because anything can happen and does, the movie drags a bit as it approaches a climax set on to...
