Divergent (2014) Online Streaming

The performances -- namely from stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James and Kate Winslet in a juicy supporting role -- always make the movie watchable and often quite engaging.. Ironically for a film about non-conformity, it adheres to the playbook rather slavishly.. Although not quite as well-focused as The Hunger Games, Divergent employs many of the same elements: a futuristic post-war setting, a...

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...

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...

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) Full Streaming

Finding Nemo is laced with smart humor and clever gags, and buoyed by another cheery story of mismatched buddies: a pair of fish voiced by Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres.. Be forewarned: Whether through ego, avarice, or unchecked enthusiasm, Jackson has wandered deep into the realm of fan fiction.. Finding Nemo works terribly hard for every scrap of charm or humor it imparts.. I recommend this...

Finding Nemo (2003) Watch Full Movie

I really like this movie. thank you. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. In this seamless blending of technical brilliance and storytelling verve, the Pixar team has made something as marvelously soulful and innately, fluidly American as jazz.. A genuinely...

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...

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...

Tomorrowland (2015) Online 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.. This is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen.. For a movie about transcending all manner of dimensions, "Interstellar" ultimately falls surprisingly flat.. "Interstellar"...

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) Watch Streaming

The longer the movie goes, the more its 133 minutes prove wearing.. Performances are solid throughout, with the actors managing to straight-face their way through some truly inane dialogue.. It plays like a salvage job, with all the attendant compromises. Though the film is laden with backstory and exposition, not much actually happens onscreen.. Scorsese's film is a richly illustrated lesson in cinema...

Prometheus (2012) Full Movie Streaming

The ending isn't squishy scary or deeply satisfying. Bummer. Otherwise, Prometheus kicks ass so hard and often that it's impossible not to be thrilled by it.. With its creepy caves and yawning space, "Prometheus" is on one level a somber dialogue between man the aspirant and man the mortal.. Visually impressive and featuring one or two breakout performances, this anticlimactic exercise too often plays...

The Boxtrolls (2014) Online Streaming

There are many more delighted 'Ewwws' than too-easy 'Awws' in this charming, if a tad cynical, feature from the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman.. It's a world that runs in a parallel universe akin to that of Charles Dickens, with creatively named characters involved in seemingly outlandish adventures in a Victorian-era city where a moral or two plays out in the end.. Like one of its wondrously...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) Watch Full Movie

Taut, immersive, and alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, a well-balanced blend of whooping Wild West action and space opera.. There's still enough suspense built into the saga to keep us watching, but after five installments, this dazzling box office wizard is slowly running out of tricks.. This ponderous drama from director Kazuaki Kiriya quickly gets weighed down by its own blood-drenched armor.....

The Adventures of Tintin (2011) Download Full

Although I personally still find the rubber-faced, pseudo-human figures produced by this technique unsettling, the work done by Spielberg and Jackson's animation teams here is exquisite.. The action grows wearisome as it grinds on, and the film becomes a succession of dazzling set pieces devoid of simple feelings.. A clamorous headache of a movie, it's hard to say who the intended audience for The...

Up (2009) Full Movie Streaming

The Amazing Spider-Man is considerably more fun-and, yes, even touching-than so premature a reboot had any right to be.. What's marvelous about Up is how confidently it assumes the audience will smartly follow wherever it wants to take us.. At 28, Garfield's slightly older than Maguire was when he played Peter Parker in 2002, but his combination of fresh-faced innocence, nervous agitation and wry...

Sherlock Holmes (2009) Play Movie

Stunningly shot and inconsistently acted and written, Snow White has enough visual fireworks to keep the film afloat, even if star Kristen Stewart can't get out of Twilight mode.. Though purists may balk at Arthur Conan Doyle's literary world being manhandled into a blockbuster by never-subtle director Guy Ritchie, Downey has a winning take on Holmes: He's always on.. A compelling look at the relationships...

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...
