Appropriate for the wee ones, this flick promises to please parents who will inevitably be in for repeat viewings.. The latest DreamWorks Animation picture that leaves you jonesing for a little Pixar.. Whenever I watch an "Ice Age" movie, I understand how my mother felt whenever I zoned out in front of the television after school.. Lame scatalogical gags and worn pop-culture parodies abound, but the...
Wrath of the Titans (2012) Watch Streaming
A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. I wonder how many meetings they had before they came up with that title. And didn't we just see this movie a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't it called Yours, Mine and Ours?. This feeble followup to 2010's godawful Clash of the Titans sucketh the mighty big one.. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best...
Iron Man (2008) Full Streaming
When the movie slows down to catch its breath, there's very little of the heart and soul -- and wry wit -- that make the Riordan books so beloved.. Downey is at his charismatic best, rendering believable Stark's transformation from self-indulgent jerk to socially conscious crusader.. This is a kids' movie: Parents can either get into the silly-suspenseful spirit of it or play Rummikub on their iPhones.....

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) Download Movie
The movie feels like an uneasy combination of new and old western stylings.. So long as there are people, there will be love stories -- I hope they all feel as lush and lively as this one.. This Yuma is Shane with a train.. Weitz's pacing is so limp you're going to need the electricity generated by a live audience to keep from yelling, "Hurry it up!". Alone of all the earnest players in this turgidly...
Peter Pan (2003) Download Full
What it is lacking is any kind of wonder. True fairy dust is in decidedly short supply and without it, the movie sinks like a cannonball.. If you've seen the others, you'll want to see this one. Let's face it -- there's no turning back.. .. even though Revenge is a better experience than Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones, it doesn't add anything that satisfying or compelling to the big picture.....

The Golden Compass (2007) Download Full
Why is it so joyless?. The Golden Compass is a blatant attempt to duplicate the success of the Harry Potter franchise. The only thing missing is richly imagined characters, a comprehensible story line, good acting, and satisfying special effects.. The carefully crafted look, in which fabulous fantasy mingles with hand-woven sweaters, offers a visual feast. The acting is impeccable from performers...
