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...

A Most Violent Year (2014) Download Full

"A Most Violent Year" is an engrossing, often beautiful film, and a breakout opportunity for Isaac, whose similarly self-contained performance as a sadly self-aware folk singer in "Inside Llewyn Davis" was unfortunately overlooked last year.. "A Most Violent Year," for all its other virtues, is a wise movie about leadership.. The performances are memorable. Isaac uses understatement with the appropriate emotional outburst and Chastain is the film's firecracker.. "A Most Violent Year" is a far mo...

A Most Wanted Man (2014) Watch Streaming

[Hoffman] scales his performance to Olympian heights, yet he elevates all his collaborators, too.. Hoffman, bloated and flushed, does not look well in this film. But he is such a consummate actor that whatever infirmities he may have been fighting become a part of his performance.. "A Most Wanted Man" is not a guns-and-motorcycles spy story but a shadowy walk down a dark alley.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the...

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...

Knock Knock (2015) Full Streaming

Maybe Knock Knock is just one long, sick joke, skillfully told by a filmmaker who's always spiked his horror with black humor, just never this effectively.. As a piece of social satire, "Knock Knock" winds up being not just toothless but anticlimactic.. Roth's tale is fairly twisty, as the behavior of the women grows increasingly violent and more outrageous.. "Knock Knock" is not without its campy pleasures - it's just so unpleasant while it's doling them out.. A film that flirts and flirts with...

Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances..

Spotlight (2015) Download Movie

An outlandishly entertaining mixture of high silliness and high style.. "Lucy" may be scientific hogwash, but it does raise all sorts of questions you rarely find in a shoot-out flick.. What the film gets brilliantly right is how journalists can get co-opted by the institutions they cover when their interests converge. And just how much courage it takes to pursue a story that may alienate many of your readers .. Scarlett Johansson carries the film effortlessly, bridging Besson's narrative and lo...
