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...

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.....

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...

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...

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.....

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...

Return to Sender (2015) Play Streaming

I really like this movie. thank you. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good movie to be watched for sure.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Mikati never settles on whether he's steering an identity crisis drama or an exploitative vengeance fantasy.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action...

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...

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...

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...

Fast & Furious (2009) Play Streaming

. 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...

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.. It's quite entertaining.. It's a Count for our times.. [A] pleasant diversion.. A preposterous, expansive...

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...

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...

A History of Violence (2005) Online Streaming

Inside Man brings Lee back into the mainstream while still letting him have some fun, and he passes that fun on to the audience.. Endless video-game-style, violent mayhem is on display in this latest edition of the mind-numbing apocalypse series.. This peculiarly predictable picture has been calculated, or miscalculated, to set up certain expectations, fulfill them, and then do the same thing again,...

Signs (2002) Full Streaming

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.. The movie is almost completely lacking in suspense, surprise and consistent emotional conviction.. The same old same old: dull and recycled, with no surprises.. Shyamalan wants to be the metaphysical poet of...

The Island (2005) Download Full

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...
