Barrels across the trackless landscape of our affections, arriving where no one would have thought to look for a big-budget Hollywood movie: in the terrain of the heart.. A failed and lifeless experiment in which everything goes wrong.. Strap yourself in and try not to vomit, because this is more of a theme-park event than a movie -- Pirates of the Caribbean in reverse, a wild ride stripped of its...
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) Play Streaming
I thought it was mischievous and witty and amusing and I was just sort of drawn into it.. Has all the CGI sorcery of a Harry Potter pic, but none of the magic.. Likable as Percy may be, it's not lightning he's stolen.. Percy Jackson, you are no Harry Potter. You are not fit to walk in a hobbit's wake.. This is generic filmmaking at its most banal, a simple-minded simplification of a not overwhelmingly...
Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015) Full Streaming
The result is a quirky film that should work for all ages, with just a hint of dark humor. In this age of high-tech animation, Wes Anderson has found himself in a low-tech wonderland.. Adds yet another wry, carefully composed bibelot to the cabinet of curios that defines the Anderson oeuvre.. A refreshingly low-tech cartoon.. The film earns its title's superlative and a hundred more.. Grownups will...
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) Watch Full Movie
As a movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has no inner life -- no pulse -- of its own: It's secondhand.. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, director Tim Burton does his best work in years.. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is, despite its trickery, that plainest and least surprising of artifacts: the work of art that is exactly the sum of its parts, neither more nor less.. Thank you...
The Lego Movie (2014) Play Streaming
Not since June Carter Cash in Walk the Line has Witherspoon been so present to a character. Her Cheryl is funny and messy, wounded but not without survival instincts.. Maybe the lack of answers is the point. How do you save your life by hiking 1,000 miles? By putting one foot in front of the other.. The movie gets much of the book and has the added benefit of scenery - lots of it, deserts and mountains...
Holes (2003) Download Movie
The basics of the story remain unchanged, but it's the wanna-be-blockbuster additions that rankle, be it the incoherent direction of first-time feature director Carl Rinsch or the copious CGI beasties who look like rejected Lord of the Rings villains.. 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...
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) Online Streaming
The animation is first-rate, with moments of genuine visual imagination, and the story, while unremarkable, is entirely adequate.. The 3-D effects are standard, the children and the prince are a bit bland, and Michael Apted's direction veers into listlessness, but there is, at times, a pleasing elegance to the production, too. It doesn't assault you.. A film which, if not truly sophisticated, isn't...
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...
The Guardian (2006) Download Movie
A workmanlike story, an unusual setting, a game cast and a righteous message kind of get lost in the film's excesses. And an imbalance in the leads hampers this by-the-book service-academy drama.. Full of visual dazzle, engaging characters and a reasonably sprightly narrative.. Ice Age comes closer than any other recent animated film to the Looney Tunes ideal.. It's clever enough to amuse adults,...
Wildlike (2015) Full Streaming
Awesome as director this is the first time that they have been together again Since training day powerful movie go see it!!!. 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.. I really like this movie. thank you. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. This is the...
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) Play Movie
Mainly for "Night at the Museum" diehards.. Thor is essentially Marvel's answer to Superman and, as with The Man of Steel, it can be difficult to craft a tale around a hero who is essentially invincible.. Dancing above a leaden plot and lumpy dialogue, Mr. Hiddleston moves his fine-boned features and graceful body, as if what he were doing matters; he seems imported from a quite different movie.....

Will Condon's movie convert agnostics to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight cult?. . Melodrama reigns in this supernatural soap opera, even though author Stephanie Meyer's tale takes a decided turn toward the weird and violent.. It all goes wrong just when it should go right.. Kung Fu Panda gets across important and inevitable plot information in ways that are novel and unexpected. Things simply don't happen...
Madagascar (2005) Download Full
Lacking any meat on its bones, ['Madagascar'] is a cartoon about nothing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.. A delight. Co-writers and -directors McGrath and Eric Darnell, along with their entire team, have done a terrific job with their sweet and whimsical story.. A safe-as-milk, toy-ready, born-to-cross-promote piece of animated Hollywood product that will likely please children but leave...

The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie..

Oblivion (2013) Online Streaming
The Transformers are brilliant, brave, world-conquering space travelers. Time to morph into something entertaining.. You're either awestruck, dumbstruck or just plain struck in the face.. More adventurous than your typical Hollywood tent pole, "Oblivion" makes you remember why science fiction movies pulled you in way back when and didn't let you go.. It barely matters whether this movie is good or...

Spider-Man (2002) Full Streaming
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 excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. A...
Jurassic World (2015) Watch Full Movie
Even without world-class smarts or amusing mutations, the next generation of "Jurassic" is an enjoyable ride.. In terms of its thrills and graphic design, it still looks like a low-to-mid-range Spielberg effort.. Pratt proved in "Guardians" that he could handle hunky leading man roles, and his combination of physicality, charisma and attitude prove hard to resist one more time.. You don't go to the...
Scooby-Doo (2002) Play Movie
Much funnier than it has any right to be, and filled with just enough inside jokes to please longtime fans of the cartoon franchise.. Once the plot dominoes are arranged in an overlong series of setups, Seventh Son ends up being a movie about walking, interrupted occasionally by a battle against a mythological monster.. The movie drags, and the occasional bursts of mirth and self-referential humor...
Blade: Trinity (2004) Online Streaming
Lacks anything vaguely resembling a plot, while failing to deliver suspense or thrills.. Watching Blade: Trinity is like being rolled down a marble staircase in an oil drum. The movie is loud, dark, bumpy and not even a little fun.. Diverting but dumb and more goth than gothic, Blade: Trinity builds up to a less-than-epochal smackdown.. This year's entry in the Movies You Admire and Respect but Don't...
Stardust (2007) Watch Full Movie
An overstuffed, overlong epic with a tongue-in-cheek approach that repeatedly begs unfavorable comparisons with The Princess Bride.. Stardust suffers from uneven pacing and some cheesy-looking special effects. But the fine cast keeps things watchable.. . Stardust [feels] episodic and clunky, constantly straining for the impression of overall coherent design that Gaiman renders invisible.. . Everybody...
