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 thrillers are about as easy to construct as films get, and this one makes no effort to break any ...

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 in which the White House crumbles under attack, the American flag is tattered and tossed aside by b...

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 horror than heart, but it is never boring.. It's a treat to be back in Le Carre's world, where amid...

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 woes before flattening out into a routine thriller about good men doing bad things.. A down-and...

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 bullets and mounting body count.. Ultimately just feels like a mess, screeching back and forth in ti...

Oldboy (2013) Download Movie

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 moments. Ex-pop video director McG couldn't organise a pillow fight in a bedding factory.. The cast ...

The Finest Hours (2016) Watch Full Movie

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. 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.. The best movie I've ever seen. amazing in every acting of the players as real and natural.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good m...

Irreversible (2002) Download Full

. Noe's summation is an ideological sucker-punch from a filmmaker who gets off on abusive relationships.. Excruciating exercise in voyeurism, provocation and pretentiousness.. . . The reverse chronology makes Irreversible a film that structurally argues against rape and violence, while ordinary chronology would lead us down a seductive narrative path toward a shocking, exploitative payoff.. Fails because of its gratuitous rape and violence and also because of its pretentious and intellectually o...

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 performances (Giamatti's, in particular), it leaves you thrillingly hovering, happily uncommitte...

The Italian Job (2003) Download Movie

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.. An increasing amount of metaphysical backtracking dilutes the few simple jolts that do work this time around.. A pandering, debased, generic little nothing of a movie. And I'm still trying to figure out why I loved it so inordinately.. Insidious: Chapter 2 picks up where the first st...

Now You See Me (2013) Watch Streaming

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.. The thudding techno score and Danny Ruhlmann's digital lensing have the effect of making "Survivor" look cheap rather than stylized.. This is one of those mystery thrillers that are supposed to culminate in a big shocker ending, though the script piles...

The Walk (2015) Play Movie

The last 30 minutes or so are all about the walk. Dariusz Wolski's cinematography is beautiful... and Gordon-Levitt does some of his best acting when he's out on the wire and mostly silent, his face glowing from the sheer crazy joy he's feeling.. 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 moments once Petit steps off the South Tower into empty space, and Zemeckis wisely milks ...

A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014) Full Movie Streaming

You expect a thriller from a movie like this, but the further into the case Scudder trudges, the more soundly and unexpectedly Tombstones is able to hit the sweet spot of any good suspense film: the pit of your stomach.. "A Walk Among the Tombstones" is the creepiest film I've seen in quite some time, and that's not meant as a compliment.. With the combo of Neeson's natural solemnity and his action chops, "Tombstones" treads compellingly amongst lesser thrillers.. This ghost of a movie star is n...

The Departed (2006) Watch Full Movie

A great, resonant, psychologically complex popcorn movie made by a cast and crew of filmmakers at the top of their game. Welcome back, Marty.. The storytelling here is a model of smooth precision.. You'll have to go back to GoodFellas to find a Marty movie this fun, this enamored of language, of ethnic slurs, of "Gimme Shelter," of explosive violence. Scorsese's return to form is the year's most dynamic film. Really, how could it not be?. This crime thriller is a profane, blood-drenched joy to w...

Predestination (2014) Play Streaming

The movie's blue-collar aesthetic, impressive in its vision and kinetics, lacks emotional variety and humor.. Despite its low budget and its lack of big stars, it's a pretty amazing piece of work.. Predestination is a hair-raising, emotionally resonant thriller that fleshes out Heinlein's minimalist conceptual piece with strong characterization and an absorbing story line about domestic terrorism and murder.. For those who appreciated Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's 2005 campy, kinetic film ...

The Punisher (2004) Download Movie

There's something to be said for letting a comic book adaptation operate at the level of a comic book, dispensing cheap laughs and ice-cold sadism.. Look out for a star cameo -- it's the only surprise you'll get from this heap.. Tokyo Drift is a subculture in search of a compelling story line, and Black's leaden performance makes you pine for the days of Paul Walker.. This is more of the same.. The whole thing is preposterous. The acting is so awful, some of the worst performances I've seen in a...

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) Full Streaming

Even those who've never heard of 'rice rockets' (Japanese imports souped up with computerized hydraulics and customized engines) might be charmed by the film's blend of kineticism, car-culture rituals, and hilariously flat-footed dialogue.. Has B-movie grit, with sexy young actors, even sexier cars and the smarts to realize a teen movie will only work if you empathize with its characters.. Exaggerated screaming and squabbling doesn't cover up the inanity.. Stylized but spasmodic, this Sweeney se...

The Gallows (2015) Watch Full Movie

This is another found-footage movie that, with a little art direction and some actual cinematography, could easily have been a decent little terrorizer. Instead, it comes mostly unglued thanks to its hacky gimmick.. Has B-movie grit, with sexy young actors, even sexier cars and the smarts to realize a teen movie will only work if you empathize with its characters.. The Gallows isn't without a certain amount of atmosphere, it simply feels borrowed wholesale. That would matter less with a better s...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) Play Movie

You needn't be a fanboy to enjoy the moment when the ride really takes off and the spectacle flowers. A scary imagination will do just fine.. Provides all the jolts and forward motion that any good airport novel gives you, but it's the film equivalent of the book that kept you awake from Chicago to Baltimore, only you don't feel bad about leaving it on the seat next to you after you land.. Fincher's Dragon Tattoo is a faithful adaptation that brings the dazzle but shortchanges on the daring... I...
