Chef (2014) Watch Full Movie

Although overly familiar, the behind-the-scenes food shenanigans are often lively and sharply written.. Chef won't knock your socks off, but it believes in itself - and for Favreau, that's all that matters.. The movie's problems aren't small: It moves slowly, meanders everywhere and never quite arrives at a destination.. Chef is lightweight, and could be seen as just a blatant attempt to cash in on the whole food-truck phenomenon, but it's so engaging that it really doesn't matter.. An epic abou...

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) Play Streaming

It's not a classic, but it's sturdy enough, thanks to Gyllenhaal and a sly and grousing turn by Alfred Molina as Sheikh Amar, a scoundrel with a heart of gold -- or at least, a ticker very interested in riches.. The sheer whoosh of the story line keeps you watching anyway, and, as the prince, Jake Gyllenhaal has a hearty good-naturedness that comes as a relief amid all the turbocharged antics. He wears his heroism lightly.. Prince of Persia, a movie born of a video game, is at war with itself, a...

Jurassic World (2015) Watch Full Movie

Even without world-class smarts or amusing mutations, the next generation of "Jurassic" is an enjoyable ride.. In terms of its thrills and graphic design, it still looks like a low-to-mid-range Spielberg effort.. Pratt proved in "Guardians" that he could handle hunky leading man roles, and his combination of physicality, charisma and attitude prove hard to resist one more time.. You don't go to the fourth Jurassic Park movie for up-to-date gender politics. You go for the crunchy dino-on-human ac...

Scooby-Doo (2002) Play Movie

Much funnier than it has any right to be, and filled with just enough inside jokes to please longtime fans of the cartoon franchise.. Once the plot dominoes are arranged in an overlong series of setups, Seventh Son ends up being a movie about walking, interrupted occasionally by a battle against a mythological monster.. The movie drags, and the occasional bursts of mirth and self-referential humor can't save it from bogging down.. At least Moore has not played a character like Malkin in recent m...

Interstellar (2014) Play Movie

After the first hour, with its poignant depiction of humanity's decline, Interstellar always seems to be rebuilding its momentum, offering plenty to think about but little to hold on to.. 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!!. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. The parts of...

Blade: Trinity (2004) Online Streaming

Lacks anything vaguely resembling a plot, while failing to deliver suspense or thrills.. Watching Blade: Trinity is like being rolled down a marble staircase in an oil drum. The movie is loud, dark, bumpy and not even a little fun.. Diverting but dumb and more goth than gothic, Blade: Trinity builds up to a less-than-epochal smackdown.. This year's entry in the Movies You Admire and Respect but Don't Ever Want to Watch Again Sweepstakes.. The most arresting aspect of The Road is just how fully t...

The Martian (2015) Full Streaming

Turns out getting stranded on Mars can lead to a whole lot of fun.. The film is a profound testament to the rare-and underrated-virtue of simply not screwing anything up.. This is science fiction for sophisticated audiences and, as such, a fulfilling and satisfying experience.. It's a brisk, funny piece of competence-porn sci-fi.. A tremendously exciting popcorn spectacle, and also a portrait of extraplanetary survival convincing enough that it had my tech-obsessed 11-year-old companion on his f...
