War of the Worlds' is a picture without a thought in its pretty head: the Tom Cruise movie to end all Tom Cruise movies.. There's stuff to make you go 'Wow!' but nothing you'll remember the next day.. . A spectacular-looking film, but its ambivalent story and viewpoint ultimately drag it down.. The Four Feathers has rewards, from the exoticism of its seas of sand to the fierce grandeur of its sweeping...
Chef (2014) Watch Full Movie
Although overly familiar, the behind-the-scenes food shenanigans are often lively and sharply written.. Chef won't knock your socks off, but it believes in itself - and for Favreau, that's all that matters.. The movie's problems aren't small: It moves slowly, meanders everywhere and never quite arrives at a destination.. Chef is lightweight, and could be seen as just a blatant attempt to cash in on...
Zombieland (2009) Full Streaming
As Balian and his people withstand the might of Saladin's fiery projectiles, siege towers and the usual computer-generated swarm of soldiers, it's hard not to think we're really watching The Lord of the Rings IV: Legolas Defends Jerusalem.. To say that Scott did a beautiful job directing Kingdom of Heaven would be true, but it wouldn't convey the nature of the achievement.. The religious sentiment...
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...
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...
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. The opening is as good a sequence as Tarantino has ever created.. Landa is such a wily and despicable concoction that, in movie terms, he's almost impossible not to like. And therein lies part of my problem with this movie.. Its...
Big Game (2014) Online Streaming
"Big Game" never once feels credible, and that's why it's so entertaining. Almost nothing that takes place in this movie could occur in the real world, and there's something comforting about that.. . Stone and his team of screenwriters paint an incomplete picture of the man and those he led.. Gleefully dumb but eager to entertain, this is cheeseball stuff baked with deliciously outsized performances...
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) Play Streaming
As Balian and his people withstand the might of Saladin's fiery projectiles, siege towers and the usual computer-generated swarm of soldiers, it's hard not to think we're really watching The Lord of the Rings IV: Legolas Defends Jerusalem.. The religious sentiment accumulates into a tower of politically correct Jell-O.. Dramatically, the problem is it's a lot easier to root for someone battling tigers...
Smosh: The Movie (2015) Download Full
Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. 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!!. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All...
King Arthur (2004) Online Streaming
Gladiator lite.. Most folks, when asked about the legend of King Arthur, don't immediately conjure up an image of Keira Knightley in a leather bikini.. This middling King Arthur doesn't waste time developing character -- or coherence -- when a big, joyless, synthetic battle will do.. It's a solid, somber, rousing piece of studio zirconium: cobbled together from Gladiator, Braveheart, Lord of the Rings,...
The Four Feathers (2002) Full Movie Streaming
The Four Feathers has rewards, from the exoticism of its seas of sand to the fierce grandeur of its sweeping battle scenes.. . Ledger does a great job in the action sequences and the more tender scenes.. A rousing if retro adventure film about soldiers and honor and brotherly love.. A spectacular-looking film, but its ambivalent story and viewpoint ultimately drag it down.. What's missing, crucially,...
Inglourious Basterds (2009) Full 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. The opening is as good a sequence as Tarantino has ever created.. Scenes like the showdown in the tavern and the movie-premiere finale are as imaginative, energetic and, in their own weird, brutal way, beautiful as cinema gets.....
Fantastic Four (2015) Play Streaming
One of the best performances of the decade in one of the most entertaining movies of the year.. All the trademark Tarantino flourishes are here -- the joyous splaying of gore; the self-referential dialogue; the artful artificiality and the juxtaposition of humor and violence -- but they don't add up to much.. Once those super powers kick in, the whole film goes into a more standard gear. We've seen...

Troy (2004) Watch Full Movie
All of the visual majesty that hundreds of millions of dollars can buy cannot obscure the perfunctory and unsatisfying development of the major characters.. There are breathtaking vistas, taut political intrigues, dangerous romantic liaisons and one of the greatest wardrobes ever assembled for a costume drama.. Whatever its flaws, "Maleficent" is a family-friendly Disney adventure that offers a relaunched...
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) Play Movie
Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. It's clear that [director Dean DeBlois] took inspiration from the first Star Wars trilogy - not a bad model for breathing new life, and yes, a bit of fire, into one of Hollywood's more nuanced animated franchises.. The impressive part is the storytelling confidence of writer/director Dean DeBlois. He has created a thoughtful...
