Trash (2014) Full Movie Streaming

Cavils melt before the 1,000-watt charms of Tevis, Luis and Weinstein, all non-pros whose joy before the camera, and in each others' company, transcends the more standard elements in the material.. Trash gets hung up on the "teaching" part-looking to inform the well-off about the struggles of Rio slum-dwellers-and for too long forgets that Mulligan's novel provided a pretty good plot.. There's no doubting a certain passion among crew and cast, most notably the trio of native youngsters whose ant...

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) Play Movie

A brainless 3-D sequel to 2008's brainless 3-D "Journey to the Center of the Earth.". Whom do you root for when everyone is sleazy?. Unfortunately, its efforts to pander to this pubescent demographic are often laughable.. The pretensions -- and disposable story -- sink the movie. And Diesel isn't the actor to save it.. For all its alleged youthful fire, XXX is no less subservient to Bond's tired formula of guns, girls and gadgets while brandishing a new action hero.. The equivalent of throwing "...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) Full Movie Streaming

This is sufficiently rousing and entertaining that it should please a majority of movie-goers whether they're confessed Trek fans or not.. Into Darkness is a sleek, thrilling epic that's also a triumphantly witty popcorn morality play. It's everything you could want in a Star Trek movie.. J.J. Abrams's Star Trek Into Darkness, the sequel to his prequel, delivers the goods, even if some of the goods are less than fresh.. I think I'll pass on The Amazing Spider-Man 3..

X-Men: First Class (2011) Download Full

What is finally most surprising about Superman Returns is how unexpectedly moving it is -- for its nostalgia; for its yearning for hearth and home; and for its overarching belief in the fundamental goodness of people.. Singer's revival of childhood wonder and timeless heroism [is] an extraordinary feat of movie magic.. As X-Men films go, this one gets the job done and is certainly better than Last Stand or Wolverine. But there are still just too darn many X-Men.. New decade; same ol' same ol'.. ...

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (2005) Online Streaming

Shark Boy and Lava Girl have about as much appeal as a dogfish and a melting Barbie doll.. [Chan's] acrobatic action sequences remain eye-catching as ever. You can't get this kind of full-on sensory-jolt anywhere else, not legally anyway.. Lee displays only glimmers of the cartoonish, gonzo sensibility that once made him seem like an interesting talent. In its place is strained seriousness and a butt-ugly digital palette of tan and sand.. It's terrible 3-D. I think the story is terrible as well....

Barely Lethal (2015) Watch Full Movie

What X-Men offers are outrageous makeup and costumes, gaudy overproduction and that bland, dopey dialogue.. Though Hanks comes across as blandly as ever, at least his solid performance shows he's up to carrying half a movie on his own, and Zemeckis' direction is at first as busily efficient as the protagonist.. Hanks and his collaborators deserve all the praise and awards that surely will come their way.. Touching.. Cast Away amounts to little more than an unprecedented showcase for its star.. C...

Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Watch Full Movie

This is one of my favorite movies of the year so far.. Craig has settled into a well-suited, grim-reaper role. Even when James flirts and trysts, his creased face suggests an unmovable weight.. After its first two terrific installments, the newest edition of "The Hunger Games" left me hungry, like a feast that's stunningly prepared but flavorless and non-nutritious.. It's fun for a while, but "Edge of Tomorrow" is what the GIs used to call a blivet -- 10 pounds of movie in a five-pound bag.. Gre...
