Noah (2014) Fuld Film Streaming

To his credit, del Toro does not flinch from the ridiculous. But he is equally sensitive to Hellboy's pulp poetry.. In a single sequence, Aronofsky combines creationism, Darwinian evolution, original sin, the end of days, and radical environmentalism.. For all the monstrous eviscerations, there's no real heart here.. Rock Transformers.. Unfortunately, after setting up this fresh blue-collar scenario in the movie's first hour, Del Toro wallows in pyrotechnics.. It's overlong and a times sluggish....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) Download Film

Not much of an effort is made to differentiate the personalities of the turtles, who all frankly look as grotesque as a Terry Gilliam cartoon.. Rougher and slightly funnier than the 1990 original, but still harmless junk at best.. By the movie's midpoint, the Wachowski brothers' screenplay has gotten so bogged down in back story that it takes 40 minutes for director James McTiegue to get back to the explosions that his 16-year-old target audience assumes will solve everything.. At last, there's ...

Skyfall (2012) Online Streaming

Skyfall leaves you wondering whether this incarnation of the character has anywhere left to go. It's the portrait of a spy at the end of his rope by an actor who seems close to his.. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a Bond movie so much.. The movie's smartest suit is emotional intelligence: Skyfall keeps us caring, intensely, for a hero who, by any rational measure, is a vestige of a vanished era.. This is a smashing entertainment, but also one that feels over-engineered and constrained by ...

Seventh Son (2015) Fuld Film Streaming

Even in 3-D and shot in the mountains of British Columbia, the film is a flat experience, with an incongruity between its big-budget ambitions and ho-hum impact.. "Seventh Son" tells a story of dragons, witches, ghosts and ogres, but the most fantastic thing about it is the idea that someone thought this lumpy, bumpy and swollen sack of tired tropes and cluttered CGI would attract audiences.. The unexpected spark between Smith and Brolin makes MiB3 primo summer fun.. "Seventh Son" delivers exact...

Kong Arthur (2004) Spille Streaming

A fine pretender to the historical action crown Ridley Scott's Gladiator reforged.. I loved the notion of the Dark Ages as the Wild West with swords. Thumbs up.. By going back to its origins and dusting itself off, the King Arthur story has proved itself to have a very contemporary resonance.. Most folks, when asked about the legend of King Arthur, don't immediately conjure up an image of Keira Knightley in a leather bikini.. May the gods protect us from modernists messing with our myths.. That ...

In Time (2011) Fuld Streaming

A movie so consistently flat-footed, with pauses between lines of dialogue so vast, that you begin to wonder if the whole thing might be a psychological experiment of some kind.. What summer movies aspire to -- a slick demonstration of hot buttered entertainment that will probably slide you right out of the theatre before you even stop to ask a logical question or two.. Niccol's major problem is timing: action sequences and dialogue scenes lie flat on the screen, while his tendency to play aroun...

22 Jump Street (2014) Fuld Film Streaming

It's never boring, and it'll sweep you up in its momentum if you give it a chance.. Emmerich's battle scenes may look authentic to anyone who has ever stared hard at a history book, but in every other way the film is long, empty and bogus.. Does the meta-acknowledgment that everyone's in it for the bucks give a purposefully dopey sequel more cred? ... You bet.. Make no mistake about it: The Patriot is a cartoon, even if it does have real people playing the parts.. Phil Lord and Christopher Mille...
