The movie promises to rock you, and much of the time it does.. Ever played a video game with a friend and had to sit there while he hogged it, leaving you to do nothing but watch for what seemed like hours?. Did you think a second G.I. Joe movie was a good idea?. The filmmakers appear to have handed a dozen or so G.I. Joe dolls to a 9-year-old, watched him play for 110 minutes, and then shot a scene-for-scene remake.. Strip away its 14th Century trappings and A Knight's Tale is just a Middle Age...

On the Road (2012) Full Streaming
Although Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" has been praised as a milestone in American literature, this film version brings into question how much of a story it really offers.. The Adventures of Tintin can be a delight to look at, even if motion capture isn't your particular cup of animation tea.. One gets the sense that directors Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable have their hearts in the action sequences and not in the characters, and that's a problem.. If I wanted to spend two hours watching a plu...
Into the Wild (2007) Watch Streaming
This is one of those movies I can imagine deciding is a masterpiece in a month's time. And by any measure, "Into the Wild" is a big leap forward for Penn as a director and deserves to be one of the most talked about films of the season.. Sequences are gorgeously filmed by cinematographer Eric Gautier, and they're heady with the joy of discovery -- they make you want to hit the road into the magnificent landscape we forget is out there.. It's a beautiful, big, sorrowful film that manages to celeb...

A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Whatever way you choose to look at it, Avatar's shock and awe demand to be seen. You've never expe...
WALL·E (2008) Play Movie
If there's one thing certain in this new instalment of Jurassic Park, it's that the critters are a whole lot smarter, faster and interesting than the Homo sapiens dropping in on them.. The most consistent production unit in Hollywood just hit another home run.. Put simply, WALL-E is about as charming as movies get.. The third time around is at least one time too many.. It doesn't take long to figure out that Shrek is not going to be your ordinary animated fairy tale.. This latest achievement fro...
Hector and the Search for Happiness (2014) Full Movie Streaming
A movie that lacks the jingoistic bravura of earlier editions ... but hasn't replaced it with meaningful historical revisionism appropriate to our post-colonial age.. It's an essentially stupid movie.. A movie bearing as faux-naive a title as this has to make a pretty good case for itself. This it decidedly does not do.. At times the whole thing is a hippie's beard whisker away from a clueless pop star on a charidee PR trip to a developing country.. A rousing if retro adventure film about soldie...
127 Hours (2010) Watch Full Movie
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!!. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and its thrilling to behold..
