Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) Download Full

It's a magical feat, one that turns puppets into personalities and an English meadow into Anderson's world.. Sometimes too clever by half, the film, replete with in-jokes, may in some ways work better for adults. Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwarztman also provide adept voice work.. The result is not only marvellous whimsy, but also something that advances the burgeoning retro-tech movement.. A boisterous and magnificent treat.. The film earns its title's superlative and a hundred more...

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) Play Movie

It shouldn't surprise you by now to hear that Cruise apparently flirted with on-set danger here, too. And it's impossible to deny that this knowledge adds to the fun.. Immersive, unpredictable and crammed with more sharp plot hooks than a fishing basket. It's one of the best wide-release movies of the summer.. Of the many heists and grabs that litter the movie, none is as blatant as the deft, irrepressible manner in which Ferguson, displaying a light smile and a brisk way with a knife, steals th...

Moonrise Kingdom (2012) Download Movie

Last time out, in Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson adapted a children's book by Roald Dahl. Now, in Moonrise Kingdom, he's made one of his own.. It's an adventure, a love story, a biblical allegory complete with approaching storm, a mash note to composer Benjamin Britten and a profoundly touching discourse on the needs of troubled children.. It's a fable about what it feels like to be 12 years old and afflicted, from head to toe, by a romantic crush the size of a planet.. One knock against some o...

The Wolverine (2013) Online Streaming

Like most superhero films, "The Wolverine" depends mostly on sheer mechanics -- both in front of and behind the camera -- and on that level it's a resounding success.. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water mostly nails what has always made the character, and his brightly coloured underwater world, so endearing: the abundant innocence, the welcome lack of cynicism and the out-and-out stupidity.. Instead of expounding a tedious origin story or staging an epic battle for apocalyptic stakes, "The...

Divergent (2014) Online Streaming

The performances -- namely from stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James and Kate Winslet in a juicy supporting role -- always make the movie watchable and often quite engaging.. Ironically for a film about non-conformity, it adheres to the playbook rather slavishly.. Although not quite as well-focused as The Hunger Games, Divergent employs many of the same elements: a futuristic post-war setting, a strong heroine, a romance, and a struggle against the oppression inherent in the status quo.. Promet...

The Brothers Grimm (2005) Download Movie

Don't expect new horizons in the annals of odd-couple, comedy-action flicks.. A darker, deeper fantasy epic than the Rings trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia or the Potter films. It springs from the same world of quasi-philosophical magic, but creates more complex villains and poses more intriguing questions.. . . A pretty good fantasy -- with different bits of Potter and Jules Verne and Narnia all mixed up together into something new.. . Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's decision to pursue a movie car...

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) Play Streaming

Surrounding the flashy heroics, however, is a lot of stilted drama. Unresolved subplots make the movie longer than it needs to be.. As always, the biggest screams emanating from the audience come when Lautner bares his chest.. ... a lesson in prehistoric hilarity.. Viewers who value the little things, such as passable acting and dialogue not stolen from a sixth-grader's diary, will once again walk away dazed, dumbfounded and partially deaf from all the surrounding squealing.. If you're going to ...
