The Guest (2014) Full Streaming

The film is a whopper of a tale, one designed for Oscar nominations, Best Picture and Best Director among them.. One of the many pleasures of director Adam Wingard's tough, fun thriller "The Guest" is seeing Matthew Crawley -- er, British actor Dan Stevens -- serve up a mesmerizing star turn of psycho charm.. 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.. A slow-bu...

Cop Car (2015) Watch Full Movie

Most of it evokes the attacks on lust that flourished in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and The Birds and that were rampant in the high school nightmare movies of the 1970s and 1980s.. A potentially fun premise soon turns into no fun at all in Cop Car, a seriously imagination-challenged low-end action thriller.. Less a conventional scary horror film than a fitful, disturbing dream, It Follows is all about atmosphere, with an unsettling soundscape and dislocating widescreen imagery.. Good horror films...

Tiger House (2015) Play Streaming

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 excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie..

The Equalizer (2014) Full Movie Streaming

The whole movie turns into a slaughterhouse. The question isn't who wants it-box office action is assured-but who needs it?. Anyone who found the original a cut above the average horror pic will likely leave the theater disappointed, if not downright insulted.. The film runs long, at 131 minutes, but Denzel Washington, as ever, is the essence of cool.. This mini-genre has begun to feel more and more expendable.. Baghuul ... looks like the lead singer in a Norwegian forest metal band.. It scrapes...

Skyfall (2012) Watch Streaming

The director, Sam Mendes, has taken a pop concept and solemnized it with Freud, which is not, perhaps, the best way of turning Bond into grownup entertainment.. Great heroes are often enhanced by the villains they face, and such is the situation here. To really work, Bond needs great bad guys. Silva is bad at its best.. Like a cover band with more stagecraft than talent, A Nightmare on Elm Street looks good recycling "greatest hits" moments but fails to capture the excitement of the original.. T...

Chappie (2015) Play Streaming

I haven't been as happy to see a movie end since the third "Transformers.". Low on meaning, but full of high-velocity chases, helicopter pursuits, and weapons blasting around empty warehouses marred by graffiti and trash.. Sci-fi filmmaker Neill Blomkamp bolts together used and stolen parts for his robot movie Chappie, and the lamentable result is far from riveting.. While the visual effects are spectacularly seamless, they're in the service of a movie which devolves from vaguely funny to just-p...

The Counselor (2013) Download Movie

Movies can be like undercover cops: They become too enamored of the worlds they explore.. "The Counselor" is guilty on all counts.. The Counselor is the cumbersome end product of a high-minded writer trying to slum and a slick director aiming for cosmic depth.. It contains memorable dialogue, vivid characters and several superb scenes, and yet it still manages to be wrong, a complete miscalculation.. Each scene serves as little more than an index card for the mechanistic plot, which Scott films ...
