The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Play Streaming

There was an opportunity here for Nolan to show us another way, to (again) stretch the boundaries of what is possible in a superhero film. Instead, alas, the latter half of The Dark Knight Rises retreats toward conventionality.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. Next to child-in-jeopardy thrillers, women-in-jeopardy thrillers are about as easy to construct as films get, and this one makes no effort to break any ...

Olympus Has Fallen (2013) Full Movie Streaming

A handsome ensemble of blokes and one high-heeled accountant who propel this slam-bang romp about the collision of criminal styles in the age of globalization and real estate speculation.. Save your quarters for the video game.. RocknRolla is a recovery from the knockout blows of his past two films but Ritchie is certainly retreading familiar thematic territory.. A typical slab of Hollywood action in which the White House crumbles under attack, the American flag is tattered and tossed aside by b...

Left Behind (2014) Download Movie

At best, Left Behind is shoddily made sensationalist propaganda-with atrocious acting-that barely registers as entertainment. At worst, it's profoundly moronic.. Surprisingly sweet-natured even amid its frequent fountains of bloodshed .... Not only is this an amateurish travesty combining fundamentalist Christian eschatology with disaster movie b.s., but it's plodding and tedious.. Score one for Satan.. The whole thing looks like it cost its writer-directors, Francois Simard, Anouk Whissell and ...

Machete (2010) Watch Streaming

As an allegory of racial conflict and mass immigration, District 9 never really goes anywhere: The appealing premise fades into the background before 20 minutes have elapsed.. What an achievement in filmmaking.. Sorry, mis amigos, wrong decades. The modern B-movie would seem to be devoted to self-conscious fun. More laughs, but fewer real chills.. The fresh premise over, the stale action returns.. Rodriguez plans "Machete" sequels. Here's hoping the next is sharper and cuts closer to the bone.. ...

The Place Beyond the Pines (2013) Watch Streaming

"Pines" is hardy stuff, but it's at its toughest when Gosling's on screen.. This superb remake has the inevitable look of a period piece, a smoke-filled rendering of things past. However, thanks to Tomas Alfredson's direction, a taut screenplay, and a uniformly brilliant cast, the film also retains its contemporary relevance.. I Am Legend is a grenade that goes off when least expected. It has more horror than heart, but it is never boring.. It's a treat to be back in Le Carre's world, where amid...

Out of the Furnace (2013) Online Streaming

We're supposed to take this more seriously because it takes itself more seriously.. This is a movie that might have been a great drama at four hours with a more ambitious script and a director with a vision or something to say.. If the downbeat plot is depressingly familiar, it's partly salvaged by the quality of the performances.. "Out of the Furnace" offers a bleak vision of America's rural economic woes before flattening out into a routine thriller about good men doing bad things.. A down-and...
