It's a bracing tonic for the bored palate of the mainstream moviegoer, and one of the most intriguing big-budget breakthrough films since Steven Spielberg made "Jaws.". This is exactly what big summer movies ought to aspire to: never short on dazzle, but unafraid to let us catch our breath once it's been taken away.. Forget about three years at Rada - these boys are the real deal.. Director Joseph Kosinski has a recipe for adventure that should delight gamers. Non-techies are on their own.. Dire...

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) Online Streaming
Insurgent is not a very good movie, but it's better than it needs to be.. It's got all the ingredients - improbable romances, partial nudity, ridiculous escapes - that make it little more than big-sound and big-picture fodder for the Imax screens it will appear on throughout the country.. While the pale skin tones (bronzer is selectively applied) and haphazard mix of American and British accents is distracting, it barely scratches the surface of Exodus's ungainly artificiality.. This second inst...
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) Online Streaming
A lavishly mounted blockbuster that has little personality of its own except on a purely visual level.. A work of wonderfully sinister fantasy.. Against all odds it delights, using a compact script (by Robert Gordon), creative storytelling and the ripe comedic talents of a prodigious cast to transform written word into a near-perfect cinematic entity.. Carrey finds his perfect role in Count Olaf.. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to ever...
Get Smart (2008) Play Movie
Remaking Get Smart for the big screen might have sounded like a bad idea, but the movie shows it to have been something else: a really bad idea.. Chipper, energetic and unimaginatively plotted re-do.. 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.. You cannot expect a bunch of vacationing kids to remember, let alone revere, a cheeky little TV half hour that entertained the old folks almost a half cen...
Maleficent (2014) Watch Full Movie
This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. [It lacks] the sort of nightmarish visions that made Walt Disney's early animation features so powerful. This looks impressive, though, making use of highly imaginative, state-of-the-art 3-D effects while still evoking old-school Disney animation. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. A masterpiec...
Jurassic Park III (2001) Watch Full Movie
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...
National Treasure (2004) Play Streaming
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....
