The Emperor's New Groove (2000) Watch Full Movie

The best Warner Bros. cartoon ever created by the Walt Disney Studios.. Neither the best nor the most endearing of Disney, but it's a sassy amusement. And nicely short.. . Funky, funny and free of ersatz Broadway cheese.. The animation and conception of the film seldom approach the exalted and imaginative level of Disney's better efforts in the genre.. The first Disney animated movie since The Little Mermaid that amounts to nothing more than a throwaway.. An audience dominated by young children ...

Toy Story 3 (2010) Full Streaming

Not that the TV show was so riveting, but most of the half-hour plots were more compelling than this lackluster warmover.. A bona fide summer delight loaded with action, humor, nostalgia, a veritable blizzard of pop-culture references and general good vibes.. Seventh Son is brisk and unpretentious, though the fact that these two qualities can be considered remarkable probably says more about the state of modern genre filmmaking than it does about the movie itself.. Obviously, this is not a parti...

The Rundown (2003) Download Full

Don't expect new horizons in the annals of odd-couple, comedy-action flicks.. The Rundown, like many recent action movies, is aggressively adolescent.. . If Arnold Schwarzenegger had made a movie this tepid in his Commando/Terminator heyday, burned fans would be suggesting that he pursue some tenure as a Fresno alderman.. A fun ride.. The Rundown wants to stand out in a movie market gorged with action. But it regurgitates commercial dictates rather than carving a new path. At least it relies on ...

Sunshine (2007) Play Streaming

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. 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 it’s thrilling to behold.. The excellent performances by...

Casino Royale (2006) Online Streaming

Casino Royale has the answers to all my complaints about the 45-year-old James Bond series, and some I hadn't even thought of.. Let the purists squawk: In Daniel Craig, the Bond franchise has finally found a 007 whose cruel charisma rivals that of Sean Connery.. Tolkien completists won't find any of this overkill, but for those uninitiates among us, less is more is still a dictum worth heeding.. I consider Daniel Craig to be the most effective and appealing of the six actors who have played 007,...

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Download Full

McKellen plays Gandalf and, truth be told, his performance is worth more to the success of the film than all the effects, visual and aural, combined.. The movie is a flume ride through the imagination of one of the most creative minds making movies today, and the pleasure curls your toes. Also, be ready to crave some macaroons.. If Fellowship hasn't rescued an otherwise dreadful year, it at least gives us something to look forward to -- same time, next year.. I like Anderson when he's making mov...

Blood Diamond (2006) Watch Streaming

Like Mitty, Stiller dreams big. The problem is that audiences don't let him. He's both famous and forgotten, the best comedy director of his generation hiding in plain sight.. Both excitingly well made and dispiritingly formulaic.. For much of its first half, during which visuals replace vision, Walter Mitty stumbles down a rabbit hole of technological triumph. But then something unexpected happens: It turns into a sweetly engaging blockbuster.. This is a notably more upbeat attitude than the or...
