Take Me Home Tonight (2011) Full Streaming

<p>It's an amiable but slow slice of nostalgia: think 'Hot Tub Time Machine' meets 'Superbad' - without the big laughs.. This sober British drama showcases Rampling in a superb performance.. . An amiable diversion, kept afloat by some comic moments of the raunchy, silly variety, and by something that does feel rather retro: a kindness to its youthful characters.. It's formulaic at best - and even that formula isn't always thought through.. An absurd joke.. It's just that there's been an altitude ad... <div id="rmore">0810922</div></p>

Before I Go to Sleep (2014) Watch Streaming

<p>The comedy is uniformly crude and lewd, some of it works and some of it's lame.. A magnificent mess of a postmodern musical.. [An] average thriller that's punctured with annoying plot holes.. Throbbing musical crescendos and flickery flashbacks abound but apart from some outlandish plot machinations, nothing here is good or bad enough to be memorable.. Mr. Luhrmann and his colleagues have worked like whirling dervishes to make the plot look like it's moving.. At the moment "Before I Go To Sleep"... <div id="rmore">1726592</div></p>

Some Kind Of Beautiful (2015) Download Movie

<p>Mainly the comic outcomes of these setups are painfully predictable and when they aren't ... they border on the offensive.. The sentimental side of the back half of the film doesn't fit with the bedroom farce sensibilities going before.. A 99-minute film that seems to last for three hours ... one of the worst films to sport the label "romantic comedy.". Hayek swings for the fences, but none of the gags she's tasked with delivering are funny, not even when she desperately pantomimes various breat... <div id="rmore">1725986</div></p>

Bridesmaids (2011) Play Movie

<p>It's not a movie for people looking for a decorous night at the movies. It is a film, though, for folks eager for some good dirty jokes, some refreshingly real female characters - and, just maybe, a new comic voice.. Wiig has terrific audience rapport, a prerequisite for comics, and a squiggly way of seeming totally reasonable and altogether daft at the same time.. The only question is: Will Kristen Wiig ever be this good again? The answer is, let's hope so. Bridesmaids rocks. Hopefully, a movie... <div id="rmore">1478338</div></p>

<p>The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. . Jarecki knows how to make scenes of boisterous family reunions and quiet moments between lovers engaging: He fares less well, though, when the story takes a dark turn.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold..

The Illusionist (2006) Full Streaming

<p>This is a movie that is warning us against the dangers of being slaves to labels while at the same time celebrating those same designer brands.. A pleasant diversion serious enough to offer a little soul.. This is the kind of thoughtful, poetic, lush and old-fashioned (in the best sense of the word) film that rarely gets made anymore -- one that immerses us in a bygone world for a couple of hours.. Mia Wasikowska, from Australia, is a relative newcomer who must essentially carry "Jane Eyre," and... <div id="rmore">0443543</div></p>

Zookeeper (2011) Watch Full Movie

<p>The talking animals are wildly child-pleasing, except that much of their talk concerns matters of animal husbandry. Is there such a thing as a hard PG?. Did we mention that things just go better with Kevin James? Well-trodden comedy hooks become strangely more amusing. Goofball physical shtick elicits broader smiles. The bumblingly stupid is made endearing.. Casting carries "Zookeeper" over its roughest patches. The vocal guest stars are inspired.. Will most audiences mind this? Probably not.

Trainwreck (2015) Play Movie

<p>Trainwreck ... has some very traditional romantic comedy elements, including a big, implausible finish. But even if you know where you're going to wind up, it takes interesting side trips along the way.. Apatow and Schumer know that sturdy comedy benefits from the stuff of real life, and they supply it in consistent and sneaky fashion.. There's a funny movie in Trainwreck, but you may have to sift through a lot of debris to find it.. Often extremely funny, even if it never approaches the radical... <div id="rmore">3152624</div></p>

Pitch Perfect (2012) Full Streaming

<p>Luhrmann hasn't unlocked the secrets of a story that remains all but unfilmable, but his Gatsby is far more than a collection of superficial splashes and tics.. A let's-put-on-a-show story so steeped in backlot Hollywood convention it almost embarrasses itself, with the difference being it really doesn't care.. A movie that's made to be obsessed over, seen 50 times, quoted as devoutly as such sacred texts as "Heathers" and "Bring It On.".

<p>In the second half ... the film degenerates into a desultory action movie as everybody starts creeping around trying to shoot one another.. Writer/director/star Joseph Gordon-Levitt takes an intriguing subject - human attraction - and nimbly probes it with wit, insight and a disarming forthrightness.. Hutcherson, who's best known for being overshadowed by Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games series, is equally dominated here.

Get Smart (2008) Full Movie Streaming

<p>I often wondered if the filmmakers weren't trying to fix something that isn't broken.. Rather than the laugh a minute promised by old comedies, Get Smart generates approximately one laugh per hour, and I can't remember either one.. One of the more pleasant surprises of the year.. Although Carell is never less than likable, he's funnier in any random scene of The Office. Here's hoping some misguided team doesn't try to turn that series into a quick grab at box-office bucks 40 years from now.. Rem... <div id="rmore">0425061</div></p>

Spanglish (2004) Watch Full Movie

<p>It's cheery but still has a bit of a bite, makes a point without ever being too preachy and features a litany of quotable lines with a cleverness not seen since Heathers.. An original premise and earnest tone go a long way.. A few sweet moments highlight the importance of acceptance and being yourself, but these after-school-special interludes clash with the snarky tone.. This is Hollywood liberal humanism as muted join-the-dots melodrama, all carefully calculated colouring, broad outlines, and ... <div id="rmore">0371246</div></p>

<p>One for all and all for nowt.. For those wondering if the continuing popularity of such exercises might make this one worth the ticket price, the same effect might be achieved by writing names and obstacles (make some tragic) on index cards and tossing them in the air.. A very 2011 take on Alexandre Dumas' classic that feels weirdly dated already.. Sadly, without a single note of originality, Last Song is an awfully long and tiresome tune..

There's not much to this pratfalling exercise in futility that we haven't seen before except for a flash of Cameron Diaz's bare rump. And that is hardly an experience worth 100 minutes of your one and only life.. The folks behind Sex Tape did their homework. They just forgot the laughs..

What I couldn't buy was the world of the magazine office, and the awkward scenes in which high-powered professionals don't seem to notice that they're dealing with a 13-year-old mind..
