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...

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.....

Terminator Genisys (2015) Play Movie

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.....

Wildlike (2015) Download Full

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. The best movie I've ever seen. amazing in every acting of the players as real and natural.. 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.. Thank you for giving information...

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) Download Movie

A rousingly old-fashioned swashbuckler with an abundance of vigorous action and nary a trace of wink-wink irony.. It's a fine, old-fashioned-movie movie, which is to say it's unburdened by pretensions to great artistic significance.. [An] above average piece of junk.. You can count on snoozing..

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) Online Streaming

. It comes on strong, but in its bloody heart of hearts it's no more resonant than one of those old Vincent Price-Edgar Allan Poe contraptions - and less entertaining, too.. I can't remember when a movie has seemed so clever, strangely affecting and slyly funny at the very same time.. This is among Scorsese's many gifts: Even when he's not crafting a masterpiece, he reminds you that the movies possess...

The Illusionist (2006) Download Movie

Something of an overlong, overblown, disorganized mess, despite being slightly better than its predecessor.. As Johnny Depp has done so brilliantly with his devilish Jack Sparrow, Downey has made this sly sardonic Sherlock stylistically all his own. Case closed.. The story may be less than credible, but the performances are mostly good, and Giamatti makes an especially strong showing.. With exquisite...

The Walk (2015) Play Movie

The last 30 minutes or so are all about the walk.

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. This delivers some frighteningly vertiginous...

Casino Royale (2006) Download Full

Craig is also the best Bond in the franchise's history.. [Craig's] portrayal feels grittier and more complex than previous 007s. This is also partly the result of a better script, by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Oscar winner Paul Haggis, as well as top-notch directing by Martin Campbell.. Let the purists squawk: In Daniel Craig, the Bond franchise has finally found a 007 whose cruel charisma rivals...

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Full Streaming

Limitless is frustrating, in part, because it could have been much better.. [Singer is] reborn - deft, elegant, spring-heeled - in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The special effects don't bog him down: They lift the movie to a surreal and more emotional dimension.. Once it reaches takeoff velocity, "Days of Future Past" becomes one of the best installments in the "X-Men" series.. The plot is about a...

American Heist (2015) Download Movie

The movie version of I Am Number Four is a blatant, cynical pitch for an unearned franchise, made by people who seem to think the words "bestseller" and "young adult" are enough to guarantee a Harry Potter-like box office payout. It's not.. American Heist, I want my 94 minutes back.. Granted, I Am NumberFour is a little better and makes loads more sense than Eagle Eye, Caruso's most recent vehicle...

The Hunger Games (2012) Full Streaming

The first book of Suzanne Collins's prodigiously popular trilogy has been brought to the screen with a Jumbotron sensibility, a shaky camera to emphasize the action and a shakier grip on the subject's emotional core.. Director Gary Ross' adaptation, co-scripted by Collins herself, isn't quite as crackingly paced as the novel, but it will more than satisfy existing fans of the trilogy and likely create...

Green Lantern (2011) Download Full

How many more of these superheroes can we take?. "Into the Storm" consists mainly of watching characters run from various little tornadoes before they have to take cover from a very large one.. If weak plotting isn't a big concern, then Into the Storm may be right up your tornado alley.. The result makes the movie seem assembled from bits and pieces of other superhero yarns rather than existing on...

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) Watch Streaming

For all of its dire premonitions, foreshadowings of horror and easy targets for Jay Leno jokes, The Day After Tomorrow is eye-poppingly awesome and wonderfully entertaining.. An exceptionally stupid movie.. [Its] portrayal of violence derives more from video games than from history.. A shambles of dud writing and dramatic inconsequence which left me determined to double my consumption of fossil fuels.....

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) Full Movie Streaming

Wolverine's backstory was good stuff -- but after the falling out with Schreiber, the story loses its center and it gets wobbly.. Jackman's committed performance keeps the movie on track, though Huston and Schreiber are strictly on autopilot.. . What a wasteful shame.. Alas, there's nothing quite memorable here: much of the combat is just a whirl of movement photographed up close. As the X-Men series...

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) Download Movie

Betrays the author's intent and makes wholesale changes in the well-known plot.. It's quite entertaining.. G.I. Joe is a loud but proficient slab of explode-o-rama summer blockbuster nonsense, perfectly entertaining if you like that sort of thing, extremely skippable if you don't.. It's just stupid and inept, which are not uncommon traits at the tail end of the summer movie season.. G.I. Joe: The...

A Most Wanted Man (2014) Watch Streaming

[Hoffman] scales his performance to Olympian heights, yet he elevates all his collaborators, too.. Hoffman, bloated and flushed, does not look well in this film. But he is such a consummate actor that whatever infirmities he may have been fighting become a part of his performance.. "A Most Wanted Man" is not a guns-and-motorcycles spy story but a shadowy walk down a dark alley.. A movie can have a...
