Dragon Blade (2015) Online Streaming

Carnahan creates a spectacle of nihilism, with a number of scenes of carnage, including a shootout in an elevator. This vision is no mere gesture, as it is for, say, Guy Ritchie.. Take two or three over-the-top Hong Kong films, add a bit of blaxploitation attitude, spice it up with some Quentin Tarantino stunt casting, and soak the whole thing in crazy, chainsaw violence. Now throw out 90 percent of everything but the violence.. Even though the once-and-forever Dude abides by the rules of the ga...

Machete Kills (2013) Fuld Film Streaming

Del Toro is a stylish horrormeister, and he has created an evocative, foreboding atmosphere. But only a fan of this kind of mayhem could find a way into the story. And only a critic, sworn to serve, could stick it out to the end.. "Machete Kills" is just plain bad in a way that is in no way good.. The strongest example yet of the corner [Rodriguez] seems to have painted himself into, a sad funhouse of bad movies made in thrall of bad movies.. No one seems to be having much fun, with the possible...

RoboCop (2014) Se Streaming

"Taken 3" is so unintentionally hilarious I couldn't help but wonder - do movie contracts carry a humiliation bonus clause these days?. Megaton and editors Audrey Simonaud and Nicolas Trembasiewicz take every fist-fight, shoot-out and highway chase and shred them into milliseconds of mismatched visual information like something out of a latter-day Godard movie.. Compared to the humor in the "Iron Man" movies or the vigilante themes in the recent "Batman" series, this reboot has little to...

Red Dawn (2012) Online Streaming

Was anybody out there clamoring for a remake of "Red Dawn"? Show of hands? Anybody?. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. Scenes are rather murkily shot and characters are like cardboard cutouts.. Hobbled by a laughably bad script and a uniformly uncharismatic cast.. Preposterously insincere .... The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. A master...

Ender's Game (2013) Se Fuld Film

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. I really like this movie. thank you. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the sto...

The Lone Ranger (2013) Spille Streaming

If Cruise's fantasy superhero garners as many staunch fans ... we may be witnessing the birth of a new franchise.. The sort of movie that delivers too much too late and still manages to make it feel like too little.. A wild, wacky, wide-screen reimagining of the vintage radio serial and TV series, the film - with Armie Hammer in the hat and mask, galloping across Texas righting wrongs, and Depp as his trusty Indian sidekick, Tonto - is an epic good time.. Shot mostly across scenic landscapes in ...

Pacific Rim (2013) Se Fuld Film

This is really the story of how the Enterprise crew meets, hammers out its differences and becomes a team, and the telling is pure bliss.. It is possible to applaud Pacific Rim for the efficacy of its business model while deploring the tale that has been engendered -- long, loud, dark, and very wet. You might as well watch the birth of an elephant.. There's a difference between a film about a man reluctant to acknowledge the psychological toll of what he endured and a movie that basically doesn'...

Star Trek (2009) Fuld Streaming

Even by the standards of its own predecessors, this Trek feels like it was made by a committee of logic-minded Vulcans (or franchise-protective studio executives) rather than a filmmaker with the singular personality of Nicholas Meyer.. This is really the story of how the Enterprise crew meets, hammers out its differences and becomes a team, and the telling is pure bliss.. The aim here is to court a new generation of fans without alienating the true believers speaking Klingon in the box-office l...

The Heat (2013) Fuld Film Streaming

If you've never seen the point of Sandra Bullock, watch this.. There are only two reasons to see The Heat. But they are formidable reasons, and they go by the names of Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.. The Heat come, they conquer, and they leave you laughing.. McCarthy's an actress who needs a foil, and for now Bullock is more than good enough. I just wish these two had found each other 10 years ago.. It's a slob comedy that goes with crippling speed from smart to dumb and then from dumber t...

After Earth (2013) Se Streaming

It's impossible to take this movie seriously, certainly not as seriously as it takes itself.. There is no small irony that this sci-fi action adventure is about surviving a serious crash. The scorched earth left behind by "After Earth" is sure to leave a scar on everyone involved.. The movie takes off from a concept as basic as a videogame, and it sticks to that concept, without surprise.. Even with his charismatic dad in his earpiece calling the shots, Jaden can't turn himself into a movie star...

Dawn of the Dead (2004) Fuld Film Streaming

Save your quarters for the video game.. Whereas the resonance of Romero's film (and of 28 Days Later) derived from its ability to involve auds emotionally with a few spartan protagonists, here viewers don't spend enough time with any of the characters to feel such a connection.. A remake of the 1978 George Romero cult-classic, it has no purpose of its own, except to exploit the latest advances in gore effects.. You know Snyder isn't the guy for the job about five minutes into the proceedings.. S...

Grindhouse (2007) Se Fuld Film

The fun is in the one-thing-after-another delirium the movie induces, and in our breathless anticipation of what they'll hurl at us next.. One word, however, comes immediately to mind: Fun.. . The whole thing runs a bit over three hours, goes by swiftly, contains countless film references and includes hilarious fake trailers.. Grindhouse is both impressive and disappointing. From a technical and craft point of view it is first-rate; from its standing in the canon of the two directors, it is mino...

Sherlock Holmes (2009) Se Fuld Film

. Aas the plot proceeds from boy-meets-dad verbal sparring to an uneasy peace to the underdog-vs.- champion title bout, it becomes increasingly easy to forgive its many nicks.. What it lacks is the human element. Charlie is more of a rat than a rascal, and instead of working hard to build and operate his robots, he's literally going through the motions.. Real Steel is ridiculous, but it is not dispiriting. If you're going to make this movie, it should be made just this way, with commitment, verv...

Casino Royale (2006) Spille Film

Let the purists squawk: In Daniel Craig, the Bond franchise has finally found a 007 whose cruel charisma rivals that of Sean Connery.. Gone or reshaped are most of the conceits that have made Bond movies seem like an exercise in parody and nostalgia.. Now this is more like it.. I hope Craig finds more moments like that in Bond. And I hope he gets to wear that tuxedo again and again and again.. Bond as a human being? Who'd'a'thunk?. Craig is also the best Bond in the franchise's history.. Welcome...

Last Knights (2015) Se Fuld Film

This thing is so garbled and goofy it plays like a parody. Except it's not.. Its cast aside, "Last Knights" proves as square and blandly manly as an old "Prince Valiant" comic strip.. The story splicing isn't any smoother than the movie's own awkward bio-engineering, and by the film's finale it's hard to care much about any of it.. If The Island qualifies as cheese deluxe even by Michael Bay standards, it's because it's the only one in his lavishly decadent oeuvre that actually pretends to trade...

I Am Number Four (2011) Fuld Streaming

A tribute both scrupulously authentic and wildly original.. The movie version of I Am Number Four is a blatant, cynical pitch for an unearned franchise, made by people who seem to think the words "bestseller" and "young adult" are enough to guarantee a Harry Potter-like box office payout. It's not.. A Superman-come-lately tale of puppy love, extraordinary powers and puberty that's duller than a chalkboard and less powerful than an extraneous Jonas brother.. Dumbed down, tarted up, and almost sho...

A Knight's Tale (2001) Spille Streaming

The movie promises to rock you, and much of the time it does.. Spirited but uneven.. Take it for what it is and you'll find it quite enjoyable, especially if you're a female between 9 and, oh, 79.. May please aficionados of oldies stations and Xtreme sports but few others.. You might find yourself smiling and laughing all the way through it.. A Knight's Tale should be ridiculous, and it is: ridiculously entertaining.. Instead of pulling young audiences imaginatively back into the past, A Knight'...

Apocalypto (2006) Se Streaming

Apocalypto is a lotta woe to sit through, with not much to think about and only one matter to address.. Puffed-up style worthy of trumped-up lore.. Mel Gibson's Apocalypto passes the only movie test that's important. It's the 'I'd pay to see that' test.. ...beautifully rendered and convincingly exciting.. The movie doesn't leave you pondering the mysteries of a lost civilization. It leaves you pondering the psychopathology of the director.. It's a movie about myth with no sense of magic.. Where ...

Chappie (2015) Spille Film

There's a gritty, real-world feel to Skyfall that makes good use of Craig's down-to-earthiness.. It is cool. But all this "change the way you look at films" hype is just that. While Avatar is impressively seamless, you're never fooled. This doesn't look like a documentary film; it looks like a video game.. Mr. Cameron's singular vision has upped the ante for filmed entertainment, and given us a travelogue unlike any other. I wouldn't want to live on Pandora, mainly because of the bad air, but I'...

The Expendables 3 (2014) Se Fuld Film

This Sylvester Stallone franchise has devolved into the clown car of action movies: a casting gimmick to see how many AARP actors you can cram into one vehicle.. At this point, the Expendables have formed and reformed so many times they're like the world's most macho wife swap, the action version of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.. Scrawny Steve is such a guileless and likeable little dude that his sweetness endures long past the super-sizing.. So much star power packed together in one place hasn't p...

Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. A strangely satisfying though completely preposterous caper movie.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT 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, an...
