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 ...

Serenity (2005) Online Streaming

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Joss Whedon makes a rousing feature-directing debut, exploiting the cult status of his short-lived series Firefly to continue it on the big screen.. Whedon knows that he's blazing down a well-worn trail, but he addresses that by deftly adding elements of humor, action, romance and horror and continually confounding audience expectations.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the scree...

Battleship (2012) Full Streaming

Mostly, Battleship is a noisy, overlong and numbing military-vs.-aliens saga with laughably bad dialogue.. Battleship is all noise and crashing metal, sinking to the shallows of Michael Bay's Armageddon and then digging to the brain-extinction level of the Transformers trilogy.. 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 perfor...

The Bank Job (2008) Watch Full Movie

A tight, classic-feeling film about losers banding together for one big score, then scrambling furiously as they realize they're in over their heads. It's fast, nifty, sharp and sweet.. Thanks to the twin pens of screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, what a jam-packed and misanthropic fiction this is.. There will be abundant laying waste of unworthy opponents, and the groans you hear will not be his.. There's nothing here as lively as In Bruges or as arty as the recent London to Brighto...

Ocean's Thirteen (2007) Play Movie

At the end, we stagger like Ralston from the dark into the light. We might have both our arms left, but our nerves are just as terrorised.. Flat, abstruse, predictable and unable to raise your pulse rate higher than a blip on an EKG.. . Hilarity-free.. The latest from Danny Boyle is actually an ode to survival, a bracing story of man and nature and an exhilarating sensory experience. It's my favorite movie so far this year.. Something seems to be off when the actors onscreen are having a better ...
