The actors are uniformly handsome and mostly serviceable, though the same can't be said about the filmmaking or the writing.. Rapace's haunting, enigmatic Lisbeth is the element that leaves you eager for the next two installments. She's fantastic, and so is the movie.. It's the rare 2 1/2 -hour film that doesn't make you look at your watch once. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is such a film.. The violence in this movie is so intense and upsetting and... I don't think actually serves the purpose...
Fast & Furious 6 (2013) Full Streaming
As manifestoes go, this one's a beauty: draped like a funeral, smart as a whip and full of black-hearted romantic monologues and dramatically slit necks.. Exists purely to showcase how idiotically over-the-top action sequences can become when annoyances like gravity are tossed to the side.. By the movie's midpoint, the Wachowski brothers' screenplay has gotten so bogged down in back story that it takes 40 minutes for director James McTiegue to get back to the explosions that his 16-year-old targ...
The Captive (2014) Play Streaming
Becomes baroque and ludicrous as the Hitchcockian scenario loses its psychological bearings in a web of trashy plot twists and self-conscious jumps in time.. I left the screening having almost fainted from sugar shock.. A shockingly mundane disappointment taken on its own and a deeply misguided refraction of the original.. The structural gamesmanship is just a smokescreen, a way to obfuscate the pulp nature of what is, ultimately, little more than a glorified, low-aiming potboiler.. Do not go to...
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) Download Full
The chemistry between Watson and Holmes is spotty, and their banter grows tedious.. Something of an overlong, overblown, disorganized mess, despite being slightly better than its predecessor.. It's complete trash and makes a mockery of Holmes's vaunted deductive reasoning.. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows doesn't rip enough yarn.. In an act of criminal negligence, Ritchie has wasted Robert Downey Jr. in a sequel that eliminates smarts in favor of relentless headbanging.. Downey may think this...
Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) Online Streaming
About as violent and soulless as its title suggests.. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense of the word and I'm not WHO Easily could be convinced with good action no matter how big and famous. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense of the word and I'm not WHO Easily could be convinced with good action no matter how big and famous. Agent 47 doesn't feel like a c...
Black Swan (2010) Download Full
Being different isn't the same thing as being good.. For all its ham-fistedness, it captures something about the tyranny of the ballet world and, by extension, the neurotic imprisonment of female body image.. The film picks at our deepest anxieties -- injury, disfigurement, loss of a coveted job, loss of identity, loss of sanity. In most fright films, danger lurks in the shadows. Here it's grinning from a mirror.. There's a delirium that runs through Black Swan, a sense of stress and anguish and...
The Hurt Locker (2008) Full Streaming
For better and worse, this ultra-violent follow-up gives the audience what it wants in full force.. Chuck Norris is also in this movie, although you should know that he gets roughly five minutes of screen time, half of those devoted to his telling of a Chuck Norris joke.. Screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow have made a unique film about war.. Like every war before it, the U.S. invasion of Iraq has generated its share of movies. But The Hurt Locker is the first of them that can pr...
