The Beach (2000) Watch Full Movie

A narrative that tries to juggle thriller elements, tons of pop culture imagery, and way too much philosophical baggage.. The Beach wears its self-importance on its sleeve, but never truly earns it.. All the beauty in the world can't camouflage the movie's gorgeous emptiness.. . Its narrative waters become rather muddy in the late going, and its currents finally don't run very deep.. Structured for an audience more familiar with MTV's Road Rules than with Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.. The ...

Good Kill (2015) Full Streaming

The bold, confrontational tone commands one's attention, and the cast -- which also includes Bruce Greenwood and Zoe Kravitz -- is superb.. It's a movie that hits every one of its ideological targets, but still winds up missing the mark.. What Niccol is really interested in ... is what this kind of warfare does to the men and women pushing the buttons and adding up the numbers.. Directed and co-written by Danny Boyle in a style that travels from ecstatic to nerve-wracking and back, this is a fil...

Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) Download Full

A mess from start to finish -- though, judging by the ending, this story won't be over any time soon -- Insidious: Chapter 2 is the kind of lazy, halfhearted product that gives scary movies a bad name.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. The problem is, Wan is reaching into the same old grab bag of shock scares, creaky-door sound effects, and ominous baby monitor voices he used in the far better original Insidious.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing...

127 Hours (2010) Watch Streaming

Boyle is such a gifted filmmaker that, in his hands, 127 Hours is genuinely -- and unsentimentally -- inspirational.. Boyle's style is never less than energizing, as it manages to keep this incredibly cramped space interesting.. Aside from an exhilarating opening and a gruesome climax, the movie isn't all that rich emotionally; all the visual razzle-dazzle winds up serving a pat lesson about people needing other people.. Shiver-making moments aside, in a important way 127 Hours suffers from the ...

Limitless (2011) Full Movie Streaming

It's scatty and fast paced, and director Neil Burger employs some Gaspar Noe-style, bad-trip CG effects to heighten the mood.. An energetic, enjoyably preposterous compound - it's a paranoid thriller blended with pseudo-neuro-science fiction and catalyzed by a jolting dose of satire - directed by Neil Burger.. Limitless is limited, but intriguing nonetheless.. "Limitless" is a heck of a ride. On the way to its unpredictable (if less than wholly satisfying) conclusion, it is entertaining, a littl...

Chronicle (2012) Online Streaming

As a surprise entry in the mid-winter movie doldrums, "Chronicle" is a modest charmer.. "Chronicle" is an energetic hodgepodge that tweaks familiar conventions just enough to seem fresh. Forget the X-Men - these are iHeroes.. Chronicle puts a fresh, invigorating spin on the superhero origin story, a tale Hollywood spins again and again (and again).. Once again, the conceit collapses along with the movie, and all that's left is third-act mayhem.. Without the found-footage distraction, Chronicle i...
