Shooter (2007) Play Movie

A mediocre production that nevertheless will strike a deep and resonant chord with viewers.. Ballistic fetishists and anticorporate activists will find common ground in each violent act against political fat cats, but the rest of us are left to wallow in the bloodlust and wonder who switched the reels.. Despite gripping chase sequences and a few awe-inspiring fiery explosions, gaping holes in the...

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Play Streaming

There was an opportunity here for Nolan to show us another way, to (again) stretch the boundaries of what is possible in a superhero film. Instead, alas, the latter half of The Dark Knight Rises retreats toward conventionality.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. Next to child-in-jeopardy thrillers, women-in-jeopardy...

Olympus Has Fallen (2013) Full Movie Streaming

A handsome ensemble of blokes and one high-heeled accountant who propel this slam-bang romp about the collision of criminal styles in the age of globalization and real estate speculation.. Save your quarters for the video game.. RocknRolla is a recovery from the knockout blows of his past two films but Ritchie is certainly retreading familiar thematic territory.. A typical slab of Hollywood action...

Left Behind (2014) Download Movie

At best, Left Behind is shoddily made sensationalist propaganda-with atrocious acting-that barely registers as entertainment. At worst, it's profoundly moronic.. Surprisingly sweet-natured even amid its frequent fountains of bloodshed .... Not only is this an amateurish travesty combining fundamentalist Christian eschatology with disaster movie b.s., but it's plodding and tedious.. Score one for Satan.....

Skin Trade (2014) Play 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!!. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. I really like this movie. thank you. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.....

Machete (2010) Watch Streaming

As an allegory of racial conflict and mass immigration, District 9 never really goes anywhere: The appealing premise fades into the background before 20 minutes have elapsed.. What an achievement in filmmaking.. Sorry, mis amigos, wrong decades. The modern B-movie would seem to be devoted to self-conscious fun. More laughs, but fewer real chills.. The fresh premise over, the stale action returns.....

The Place Beyond the Pines (2013) Watch Streaming

"Pines" is hardy stuff, but it's at its toughest when Gosling's on screen.. This superb remake has the inevitable look of a period piece, a smoke-filled rendering of things past. However, thanks to Tomas Alfredson's direction, a taut screenplay, and a uniformly brilliant cast, the film also retains its contemporary relevance.. I Am Legend is a grenade that goes off when least expected. It has more...

Out of the Furnace (2013) Online Streaming

We're supposed to take this more seriously because it takes itself more seriously.. This is a movie that might have been a great drama at four hours with a more ambitious script and a director with a vision or something to say.. If the downbeat plot is depressingly familiar, it's partly salvaged by the quality of the performances.. "Out of the Furnace" offers a bleak vision of America's rural economic...

The Signal (2014) Online Streaming

Eubank could have a terrific future as a director. As a screenwriter, though, maybe not so much.. This sci-fi puzzler by cinematographer-turned-director William Eubank often recalls the work of Shane Carruth (Primer, Upstream Color) in its low-budget resourcefulness and creeping, gnawing paranoia.. It's fun while it lasts, though it feels less like a completed movie than a demonstration of director...

Self/less (2015) Play Movie

Singh once seemed an original, but Self/less doesn't have a distinctive bone in either of its bodies.. Deep under the skin of this shrug of a movie is a solid metaphor rooted in an appealing fantasy.. Self/less never really gets over the fact that much of it consists of a bland-ish, raincoat-clad everyman driving around and pointing guns at people before the inevitable, underwhelming confrontation...

Law Abiding Citizen (2009) Full Movie Streaming

Sure, it's outta place for October, but there's no reason you can't enjoy a mindless piece of candy against the backdrop of fall foliage.. It's shallow, it's silly, it's pat. It's... forgettable.. It's a "Who dies next?" slasher film masquerading as a revenge thriller.. . The exploration of right and wrong, and its complicated lack of clarity, gets trammeled amid the bevy of explosions, volley of...

District 9 (2009) Full Streaming

In a good summer, there's usually a movie that will come out of nowhere and completely wow us. This is a good summer, and that movie is District 9.. District 9 has too many gory vaporizations to qualify as a serious statement on race relations, but it does outclank Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen by a wide margin, and you thrill to the cleanly cut action sequences.. Perhaps we're witnessing a...

Jack Reacher (2012) Watch Streaming

Although reasonably, cheesily suspenseful, the movie takes a long time to get going. Its tagline, 'There's something wrong with Esther,' turns out to be a masterpiece of understatement.. It would be harder to find a more dark and joyless thriller on the market than this one.. The best thing about Orphan, is the way it plays with the genre's overused staples and its sophisticated audience's expectations.....

Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) Full Streaming

The quiet stretches actually serve their purpose here, creating a sense of intimacy with the characters as opposed to simply marking time between the shocks.. I leapt out of my seat and grabbed the arm of the critic sitting next to me so often (and he did the same, although he shall remain nameless) that you'd think we'd never seen a horror movie before.. It stands well on its own as a jumpy spookfest.....

Orphan (2009) Download Full

The best thing about Orphan, is the way it plays with the genre's overused staples and its sophisticated audience's expectations.. Actors have to eat like the rest of us, but you still have to wonder how Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard ended up wading through Orphan and not laughing.. Clocking in at more than two hours, the movie teeters between psychological horror and violent blood-letting and,...

I Am Legend (2007) Download Movie

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy begins to seem phlegmatic after a while.. These guys make proper English diction as compelling as a gunfight, and "Tinker Tailor" as satisfying as any shoot-'em-up using real bullets instead of words to get its point across.. After its promising opening, I Am Legend devolves into a generic zombie slaughterfest, highly reminiscent of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later and its...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) Play Streaming

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is an awful movie with two very good-looking people in it.. Clever as the film is, though, it turns out to be an exercise in narrative withholding that's more headache provoking than suspense laden.. Something that giants such as Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott and Tim Burton have not been able to match so far this year.. Have we lost our minds and souls so completely to celebrity...

Coherence (2013) Play Streaming

At once a suspenseful mind game and a wily mash-up of surreal quantum physics theories, this low-cost thriller proves that something approaching brilliance is not just a function of budget.. What began as a nifty puzzle feels more like a trap. It may be possible to unkink this story, but when characters and performances are as unengaging as these, it's hard to feel motivated to try.. Coherence is...

These kickass Barbies bring heart to a machine-tooled genre.. Contagion could have been a blood-curdling scream; instead it comes off as Soderbergh's star-powered science project.. Weaknesses from the original remain, including a mustache-twirling villain straight out of a Bond film (Sharlto Copley) and a Freudian master plan that unravels the more you think about it.. This is nothing but trailer...

Body of Lies (2008) Watch Full Movie

Perhaps Scott's ever-restless shooting style doesn't quite differentiate between the peaks and troughs of the narrative, yet it's still an engrossing account of the intersection between process and ethics.. This makes for a movie experience in which the viewer sits patiently for about 45 minutes waiting for the story to kick in, only to realize, oh. So this is it.. I'm still waiting for the war-on-terror...

. Best viewed as an energetic cartoon, an unintentionally amusing, head-shaking guilty pleasure that will divert those not in the mood for anything more profound than gleaming metal and preening women.. A strange piece of nostalgia, where, without apology, fast cars still rule and fuel is burned with abandon.. The end result, while it provides moments of kinetic entertainment, is too repetitive and...

For all its weaknesses, "Terminator Genisys" is a "Terminator" movie that feels like a "Terminator" movie, more than did "Terminator 3," not to mention the ghastly "Terminator Salvation.". "Terminator Genisys" could be Exhibit A in why the current line of thinking in Hollywood regarding sequels/reboots/remakes often leads to terrible decisions and worse films.. It is mechanical in the worst way.....

Sitting through the last reel (spoiler alert!) is significantly less charming than listening to a four-year-old with a taste for exaggeration recount his Halloween trip to the Haunted House..

Shyamalan wants to be the metaphysical poet of...

This is among Scorsese's many gifts: Even when he's not crafting a masterpiece, he reminds you that the movies possess...

During a conversation between an astonished doctor and a miraculously unscathed Dunne ... it's a measure of Shyamalan's restraint and his uncanny knack for storytelling.. Samuel L.

I found it hard to care about anybody, when I wasn't too busy trying not to get sick anyway.. What have we done to deserve another found-footage movie?.

Ugly, unfocused photography makes it impossible to enjoy the film beyond its theoretical novelty.. While the book succeeded...

Shot without visual style, sharp dialogue or discernible logic, the movie seems to be riding entirely on the star power of Aniston, Clive Owen and the boastful Weinsteins.. The question of whether we're too tied to technology and when or if it will prove our downfall is undoubtedly important and probably somewhat pressing. It certainly deserves a better movie than "Transcendence.". Someone had to...

Something of an overlong, overblown, disorganized mess, despite being slightly better than its predecessor..

The story may be less than credible, but the performances are mostly good, and Giamatti makes an especially strong showing.. With exquisite...

This one offers some agreeably mindless fun in which the villains (including Norton) are truly villainous, the payback is satisfying in a purely infantile way, and the familiarity of everything is oddly comforting..

Niccol, whose excellent 1997 film Gattaca revealed a similar obsession with human genetics, is an above-average filmmaker who may simply lack the daredevil recklessness a project like this requires..

Most of the time, however, I found myself glancing...

Now You See Me is a superficially diverting but substance-free concoction, a would-be thriller as evanescent as a magic trick and one that develops no suspense or rooting interest because the characters possess all the substance of invisible ink..
