Sin City (2005) Play Streaming

I found it hard to care about anybody, when I wasn't too busy trying not to get sick anyway.. What have we done to deserve another found-footage movie?. Johnson's action scenes occasionally stumble, but the devilishly clever script makes "Looper" a thrilling, dizzying ride.. Ugly, unfocused photography makes it impossible to enjoy the film beyond its theoretical novelty.. While the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology.. The lo...

The Island (2005) Download Full

Shot without visual style, sharp dialogue or discernible logic, the movie seems to be riding entirely on the star power of Aniston, Clive Owen and the boastful Weinsteins.. The question of whether we're too tied to technology and when or if it will prove our downfall is undoubtedly important and probably somewhat pressing. It certainly deserves a better movie than "Transcendence.". Someone had to work extra hard to make a movie this bad with two likeable leads like Mr. Owen and Ms. Aniston. I ca...

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...

Lost River (2014) Play Streaming

. The film proves that Gosling has refined taste in movies, and that he's a quick study, but not that he has much to say as an artist. Not yet, anyway.. Unbreakable seems to have encouraged all its actors to emulate Willis' lugubrious pacing, meaning that usually vibrant actors such as Wright Penn and Jackson are not shown to their best advantage.. During a conversation between an astonished doctor and a miraculously unscathed Dunne ... it's a measure of Shyamalan's restraint and his uncanny kna...

The Italian Job (2003) Download Movie

This one offers some agreeably mindless fun in which the villains (including Norton) are truly villainous, the payback is satisfying in a purely infantile way, and the familiarity of everything is oddly comforting.. An increasing amount of metaphysical backtracking dilutes the few simple jolts that do work this time around.. A pandering, debased, generic little nothing of a movie. And I'm still trying to figure out why I loved it so inordinately.. Insidious: Chapter 2 picks up where the first st...

In Time (2011) Full Streaming

Niccol, whose excellent 1997 film Gattaca revealed a similar obsession with human genetics, is an above-average filmmaker who may simply lack the daredevil recklessness a project like this requires.. The film is beautifully shot in chilly blues and grays by cinematographer Roger Deakins, and Los Angeles locales are well chosen for futuristic effect. Most of the time, however, I found myself glancing at the clock on my own wrist.. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good movie...

Now You See Me (2013) Watch Streaming

Now You See Me is a superficially diverting but substance-free concoction, a would-be thriller as evanescent as a magic trick and one that develops no suspense or rooting interest because the characters possess all the substance of invisible ink.. The thudding techno score and Danny Ruhlmann's digital lensing have the effect of making "Survivor" look cheap rather than stylized.. This is one of those mystery thrillers that are supposed to culminate in a big shocker ending, though the script piles...
