Conan the Barbarian (2011) Watch Full Movie

Even for those missing their Harry Potter fix, this is some weak, watered-down stuff.. Rent the original instead.. Percy is a lot like a certain bespectacled young wizard - sans the lightning-shaped scar. It's too bad his adventures don't have the same enchanting quality.. "Sea of Monsters" is diverting enough - the director, Thor Freudenthal, is savvy with effects and keeps his young cast on point - but it doesn't begin to approach the biting adolescent tension of the Harry Potter movies. Momoa...

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Play Streaming

The conceptual sci-fi of the original series is nowhere to be found, though you might enjoy watching the skinny young actors approximate their counterparts from the 60s; Chris Pine is especially good as Captain Kirk.. For all its reckoning with mass destruction, this franchise's vision of a future Earth remains optimistic. The film mixes the iconically familiar with the futuristic.. The film is, for whatever else it might be, one of the funniest of the Star Trek entries.. Abrams boldly goes into...

Clash of the Titans (2010) Play Streaming

It doesn't soar (though Pegasus the winged horse is captivating).. Apparently the gods need better agents.. At the moment when Sam Worthington, trapped inside a giant scorpion, sword-hacked his way through the dorsal carapace and poked the upper half of his body through the opening as if it were a sunroof, I fell in love with Clash of the Titans.. If you're into Greek mythos, or action, or slightly cheesy (but knowing) humor, then this should prove an adequate source of entertainment.. It doesn'...

Brave (2012) Download Movie

Youngsters with a taste for adventure will no doubt overlook the movie's workmanlike outlines and applaud its spirited, self-reliant heroine, who proves to be as appealingly unruly as her tumble of Titian curls.. It starts with a great story - of love and politics, time travel and mystical pathways between planets - badly sucked dry.. The Pixar name used to mean something. And it never quite meant pleasantly safe, safely forgettable movies like this.. The story, with its patchwork of plots (invo...

Wreck-It Ralph (2012) Online Streaming

The Road, a tremulous heartbreaker onscreen, has successfully made the leap despite an unthinkable amount of fidelity.. This adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's 2006 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is intense and, yes, depressing -- and earns every minute that it rattles inside your head.. 'Wreck-It Ralph' combines a fresh idea with a true love for retro pop culture. It's hard not to love this movie.. Mortensen warms the film with his presence, creating a vivid portrait of a bereft man clinging to the ...

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Online Streaming

If we must endure yet another spring-summer cycle of comic book superheroes, this movie at least delivers the wham-bang goods (recycled though they may be).. A movie that is, in the best sense of the word, a Marvel.. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has the usual overlong running time, the half-hearted feints in the direction of human feeling and the obligatory action sequences that are big without being either exciting or particularly legible.. There's too much going on: the Marvel Univers...

xXx (2002) Play Streaming

It's hard to tell with all the crashing and banging where the salesmanship ends and the movie begins.. In its own punk way, XXX is as good as a good Bond movie, and that's saying something.. Essentially a dumb guy's day in Heaven.. If Dubya and Dick Cheney had made their very own post-9/11 patriotic propaganda movie for the teens they need as globalisation fodder, then this would be it.. . It doesn't take long to realize that the only thing this movie's diving for is dollars -- yours.. I don't t...
