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...

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 with the big bad.. Self/less is so restrained that I wonder if somebody stole Tarsem Singh's body, ...

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...

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.. The picture is joyless and perfunctory. Call it Mission: Possible.. There is a dogged leanne...

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, as such, probably won't completely satisfy fans in either camp.. [Orphan] never exploits the dramat...

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 movie.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for h...

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 worship that drivel like Mr. and Mrs. Smith can thrive and prosper?. Bumpy at first, with a few too ...

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 ...

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...

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 movies, but he's dangerously close to becoming its O. Henry.. There's plenty here that testifies to ...

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 visceral and uncanny powers.. I am neither upset nor disturbed by Memento , only vaguely dissat...

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...

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...

Transcendence (2014) Play Movie

Unfortunately, it takes more than grand concepts to make a movie and the lack of cinematic connective tissue is apparent in this poorly focused, meandering, and ultimately disappointing film.. Transcendence is fairly ridiculous, but some may prefer its grand, loopy ambition to the small-minded sameness of so many futuristic thrillers.. Lost in the land of mind over matter, Transcendence is too much trance and not nearly enough dance.. An ambitious and provocative piece of work that is intriguing...

Mulholland Drive (2001) Download Full

Lynch challenges our expectations of narrative and credibility by luxuriating in something else -- the unexplained, the making of no-sense that (he says) underlies life.. [Lynch's] never before married his subconscious impulses to an accessible storytelling style in such a satisfying, beguiling way.. . . 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!!. Its suspense bu...

Ocean's Eleven (2001) Watch Full Movie

Argo has that solid, kick-the-tires feel of those studio films from the 70s that were about something but also entertained. Only it's as laugh outright amusing as it is sobering.. Nothing can stop the wicked smoulder of Stevens, who makes a smile seem like a weapon of mass destruction.. A lark for everybody concerned, including the audience.. Dumb fun is rarely this smartly delivered.. The pleasures of The Guest lie mainly in anticipating how the next expected corner will be turned.. Dan Stevens...

The Babadook (2014) Download Full

This is a really scary movie.. One of those incongruous Franken-films that's simultaneously bombastically brutal and treacly.. The Babadook makes everyday domestic life seem like the most natural possible place to encounter monsters of every description, including the monsters that we ourselves have the capacity to become.. Sometimes you go to a movie and know from the first image that whoever made it knows what she's doing. You don't need convincing. You're there with her. Jennifer Kent's The B...

The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015) Watch Streaming

This ghost of a movie star is never more at home than when walking among the tombstones.. Alvarez captures an emotional immediacy and risk that is deliberately excluded from academic debate.. Blah comedy.. It does make for a fascinating, if skin-crawling, two hours at the movies, and Angarano is a charismatic manipulator, both in and out of character.. The Stanford Prison Experiment is the kind of movie that raises as many questions as it answers. It's also the kind of film where you want to bud...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) Download Full

Here's a thought for the inevitable next film in this series: Ditch the humans. Stick with the apes. They're a lot more interesting.. For all its high-end special effects and its Shakespearean ambitions, Dawn fumbles its emotional moments and forces its action.. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes gets to be exciting and to say something about the world instead of merely blowing it up. The apes are among the more intellectually complex characters you're likely to spend time with this summer.. Maybe t...
