Terminator Genisys (2015) Download Full

As lousy as the movie is, I must speak up for its makers' valiant attempt to make something old look new and also old ... and new. It's a vexing problem for a system that relies on sequels, "franchises," "tentpoles," etc.. The only one really having a good time is Schwarzenegger, who grins like a Cheshire cyborg even when nothing's funny, least of all the impending destruction of humanity.. Terminator Genisys feels like the film Cameron might have made if he continued the franchise.. Terminator:...

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) Watch Streaming

. If only director Chris Weitz had managed to tease out the real drama -- Bella's fear of aging -- instead of a tired one.. I am not ashamed to admit that I will be the first in line for Twilight part three.. Weitz's pacing is so limp you're going to need the electricity generated by a live audience to keep from yelling, "Hurry it up!". New Moon offers few of the juicy, go-for-broke romantic pleasures of its predecessor, and the movie is so badly shaped that it's hard not to blame Weitz as a dir...

The Lone Ranger (2013) Full Streaming

Terabithia has buckets of gentle sincerity. Since there aren't any dumb jokes or hip visuals, it's easy to get caught up in the simple messages: Be good to your sister, don't be a bully, use your imagination in a pinch.. Everyone involved genuinely seems to believe in the power of imagination to enliven -- and enlighten -- the darkest realities, and that's a magic this film captures beautifully.. There's enough emotional truth in Bridge to Terabithia to make it a worthy addition to big-screen ch...

Idiocracy (2006) Download Movie

If the world is going to hell in any number of handbaskets -- as Judge so acutely demonstrates that it is -- you might as well hitch a ride in his.. Mike Judge's Idiocracy is absolutely a satire for its time. What Judge is less sure of here than in his previous, perfectly pitched live-action comedy Office Space, is how to build a complete movie around his key ideas.. Ow! My brain!. The movie is bracing for its bile but ultimately more frustrating than funny.. It's a low-boil affair from the Offi...

Godzilla (2014) Watch Full Movie

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...
