G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) Watch Streaming

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...

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...

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...

Avatar (2009) Full Streaming

Cameron and his legion of CGI experts and skilled craftspeople have delivered a lovely, misty, dangerous world.. Cameron has fared better than most in wedding cutting-edge special effects with ... genre storytelling, but Avatar, his supremely goofy science-fiction/action spectacular, finds him lost in a $250 million aquamarine light show.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.....

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...

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...

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 it’s thrilling to behold.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography,...

Spider-Man 3 (2007) Play Streaming

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets works the kind of magic that Hollywood rarely displays: It's a sequel that's better than the original.. Big, dull and empty.. In all fairness, I must report that the children of varying ages in my audience never coughed, fidgeted or romped up and down the aisles for bathroom breaks.. An extravagant three-ring circus of a movie from director Sam Raimi, but it's...

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) Play Streaming

Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. This is a grittier webslinger saga, led by a Peter Parker with swagger and angst and a tone defined more by emotional resonance than wide-eyed wonder. It still has plenty of fizz.. Dumbed down, tarted up, and almost shockingly uninspired, it's the worst superhero movie since...

Men in Black II (2002) Play Streaming

The picture's definitely entertaining, in fits and starts. It's also joyless.. The predictable effort makes the movie seem longer than its audience-friendly 88 minutes, and the script deficiencies account for the high number of alien and human supporting players.. Instead of inhabiting the same world of his original, the delightful 1997 Men in Black, or inventing a new world, this update kitschifies...

The Fall (2006) Watch Streaming

A good-hearted, funny movie.. Feels like some lame, focus-grouped attempt by a bunch of people who have grown hopelessly middle-aged to make themselves hip with the kids.. . Pace and Untaru generate an unforced chemistry that makes them pleasant company for a couple of hours, but they almost work against the movie's need to establish narrative tension. They appear to be having such a good time that...

Monsters, Inc. (2001) Play Movie

It may be harder nowadays to dazzle audiences with fancy visual effects, but Monsters, Inc. 3D proves that smart, imaginative storytelling still does the trick every time.. I enjoyed it.. It's agreeable and often funny, and adults who take their kids to see it might be surprised to find themselves having a pretty good time.. The good guys are those who realize that laughter is stronger than fear....

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) Full Movie Streaming

I'd be lying if I didn't say this movie gave me as much innocent pleasure as any I've seen this year.. While the romantic sweetness that it's peddling is a guilty pleasure, it's also a distraction from the gathering storm that the series had been charting so well.. Harry is better than ever, a triumph of visual wonder and emotional storytelling.. The lag time between the final books and the movies...

47 Ronin (2013) Online Streaming

Solemn as a funeral march, humorless as your junior high principal, as Japanese as a grocery-store California roll, Keanu Reeves's let's-mope-about-and-kill-ourselves samurai drama has exactly three things going for it.. A singular viewing experience: a multi-colored downer fantasy which combines bursts of imagination with a bleak worldview, resulting in something that rarely feels mainstream.. There's...

Bee Movie (2007) Watch Full Movie

Harmless fun for the whole family.. What I like about Bee Movie is its comfy, off-the-cuff charm: unlike a lot of animated family entertainment, it's not all Thwack Smash Kaboom.. Bee Movie is a cute movie. Not that there's anything ... well, you know the rest. But cute is not what adults expect from Jerry Seinfeld, although children will be delighted.. It's impersonal. It doesn't come from anywhere...

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) Watch Full Movie

The A-Team is so busy trying to connect with the audience's hearts, minds and wallets that it never quite connects with itself.. The Hollywood suits figure you'll overlook a movie's faults as long as the action has juice. Isn't it great when a plan comes together?. To anyone more discerning, and certainly to those fans who cherished the way the first two movies took pains to honour what made the X-Men...

Man of Steel (2013) Download Full

Cavill broods handsomely as Superman, but this reboot skimps on fun and romance.. By the end, Man of Steel has mutated into just another superhero action movie, with explosions galore and city buildings toppling like so many Legos. Lather, rinse, repeat. That's too bad because ... Man of Steel has so much going for it.. For those who crave cinematic mayhem, Man of Steel is right up your alley (and...

True Grit (2010) Online Streaming

The tense verbal comedy of Mattie's early negotiation with a Fort Smith merchant should win you over to this movie's high linguistic wit.. If there's one thing I don't need in my Christmas stocking this year, it's a sorry, lumbering and unasked-for remake of the 1969 sagebrush saga True Grit.. The movie feels uncertain as to its own tones and intentions.. It has little narrative interest and requires...

The Beach (2000) Watch Streaming

Much of Will's dialogue consists of life lessons imparted to the boy, and they sound like a motivational seminar.. Ultimately, it seems more bland than bad.. The Beach wears its self-importance on its sleeve, but never truly earns it.. It's impossible to take this movie seriously, certainly not as seriously as it takes itself.. . Tedious and unsatisfying.. A film in which the text and subtext-an effortlessly...

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) Full Streaming

Azaria pretty much steals the show.. . A crackling good adventure, a visually sumptuous effort.. Adults have the choice of either admiring the scenery or taking a nap. There's not much else worth doing. Certainly, paying attention to the story is an exercise in futility, but you're welcome to try.... The characters and story are mere narrative lubricant to get us from one digitally goosed sensory...

Alexander (2004) Online Streaming

A lunk-headed train wreck that looks like a tag sale in a 323 B.C. supermarket in old Peking.. Farrell plays all this as if he means it, but he seems slight in the role and without great physical presence.. At a reported cost of $155 million, Alexander qualifies as a super-spectacle in every respect but one -- namely in its neurotic, confused and sexually ambidextrous hero.. This is Stone's weakest...

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015) Full Movie Streaming

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!!.

Predators (2010) Watch Full Movie

. The Kings of Summer is the cinematic equivalent of an Arctic-cold popsicle on a Sahara-hot day. Refreshing and satisfying but not overly sentimental, the film taps into the frustrations of adolescence with warmth and wit.. Vogt-Roberts makes the scenery look great, but doesn't call the plays that could make the movie score. Scenes don't develop, characters don't evolve except in indie-movie-cute...

Green Lantern (2011) Play Streaming

Comic-Con geeks and cinephiles alike will gape at the resplendent imagery (but don ye specs, and see it in 3-D).. Even by the standards of the current run of mediocre comic-book movies, this one stands out for its egregious shoddiness.. Heads roll, arteries gush and spleens spill across the IMAX screen in Beowulf, just as you'd expect in a screen adaptation of the oldest surviving epic poem in the...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) Online Streaming

Downey may think this interpretation is an insight, or funny, but it pushes what was already a rude rewriting of the classic characters into eye-rolling camp. And it throws everything off balance.. Despite its brainy title, "Monsters University" only earns a passing grade on its looks.. What hasn't advanced is the plotting, which was nothing special last time and is so formulaic now that it's basically...

Night at the Museum (2006) Download Full

... an aimless and riotous mess.. . Fun for the whole family? Probably not, but certainly for those members who are only permitted to hang out when the lawyers say it's okay.. Really young kids may like the noise and chaos of the movie, but the real museum on Central Park West has its own 'A Night at the Museum' program that sounds a lot better.. What a dull, nice movie, wrenched from a wild premise...

Big Fish (2003) Full Movie Streaming

Overall, the film feels like it issues from a place Burton doesn't inhabit.. A compelling look at the relationships between fathers and sons, and the child coming to terms with the parent's mortality.. Mostly confined to bed throughout the film, Finney pulls us to him with a flawless combination of theatrical skill and movie-star radiance.. A bountiful pleasure.. Burton, who has clung to the trappings...

The whole Harry Potter thing may not be as fresh for moviegoers as it was last year, but thankfully Chamber of Secrets is well-crafted..

It's beautiful to look at. The talking cars feel more alive than talking cars...

Hercules (2014) Play Streaming

Give "Hercules" this much: It knows what it is.. "Hercules" heaves and grunts along, interrupted by battle scenes that are visually impressive (when's the last time you saw someone pick up a horse and throw it?) but emotionally uninvolving.. The Chronicles of Narnia is not a bad fantasy film. It's just not a great one.. Ratner's sense of humor is never clever, or light, and I've hated my share of...

The Island (2005) Play Streaming

Bay's action is flashy enough to compensate for some of the shortcomings of the script.. As usual, Bay stages the action at a breakneck pace that's never frenetic enough to obscure his film's plot holes and logical lapses.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Increasingly hard to follow, with too many dull patches along the way.. Since Michael Bay never knows when enough is...

The Host (2013) Full Movie Streaming

The Host isn't very good as a romance. There's not very much passion on screen, which makes the film a poor cousin to Twilight.. Get Smart is likable and very funny -- at least a two-to-one ratio of excellent gags to clunkers -- but it's not, for better or worse, Get Smart.. Instead of the show's wacky, slapstick tone, Get Smart presents itself as an action-filled spy movie that just happens to be...

Kung Fu Panda (2008) Watch Streaming

A master [course] in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment.. Very much a Hollywood production -- formulaic, made for marketing and never quite as inspired as it could have been..

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) Full Movie Streaming

For the most part, this epic adventure steers a true course through storm and sacrifice, and arrives triumphant.. A plain old good movie.. It never achieves the visual elegance or majesty that a David Lean might have provided. The story line isn't the freshest. And yet the film is satisfying all the same.. The film contains brilliantly crafted scenes and shots that are as compelling as anything seen...

The Croods (2013) Download Movie

It may not be an instant animated classic, but it's a charmer that will leave the kids ... feeling warm and fuzzy .... While their situation sounds dire, "The Croods" is not. The DreamWorks animated film has enough slapstick humor, furry sidekicks and zippy 3-D action sequences to keep the story light.. Had the movie figured out a way to stay the less-cliched course, it might have helped the DreamWorks...

It's a pleasant irony that, just as the first installments of Rowling's oeuvre were better suited to page than screen, the final installments have reversed the relationship.. It all gets exhaustingly bombastic although, sequence by sequence, Man of Steel is something worth seeing.. The plot is about a fearful society whose expansion of its security apparatus has unintended consequences, but Singer...

X2: X-Men United (2003) Full Movie Streaming

I have seen the future of 3-D moviemaking, and it belongs to Martin Scorsese, unlikely as that may sound.. Moves with the lightning speed, raw power and athletic grace of, well, a genetically mutated superhero.. If ever the movie gods were to smile on an adaptation, it would be Scorsese's take on Selznick's bestselling book, a valentine to the cinematic artists whose work the filmmaker has toiled...

Marshall's film captures enough of the emotions that course through this sneaky fairy tale about childish things like love, sex, grief, insecurity, abandonment, and forbearance..

The Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine 1987 musical Into the Woods has been transferred to the screen...

Batman Begins (2005) Online Streaming

I don't know if I've ever seen a revenge fantasy so willfully messed up, sometimes offensively so, that still manages to be worthwhile for whole sections of its 2 1/2 hours.

And therein lies part of my problem with this movie.. Its...

Part 1, like its predecessors, has been made with great care, craft and attention to detail. It...

A charming concoction with positive messages for younger children...

RV (2006) Full Streaming

Instead of the fresh comic concept of the 1996 blockbuster, we have a calculated piece of product: a lightweight, occasionally laboured copycat skewed to a younger children's demographic to move the action figures and video sales..

This is a bigger and darker Narnia movie and although it didn't leave me famished for the inevitable sequel, it delivers the family-entertainment goods.. Zathura may be Jumanji in outer space.

Zathura is basically Jumanji in outer space -- and even without Robin Williams, this is still a singularly loud,...
