The Village (2004) Play Movie

<p>Another mediocre lunacy from the overrated M. Night Shyamalan.. A Grimm brothers fairy tale taken to the Outer Limits.. All this craftsmanship and a very fine performance by Howard, however, is in the service of a story that unlike Shyamalan's previous films contains no underlying themes or ideas.. So meaningless and distanced in its details that it hardly stands a chance of wooing even the most willing fellow traveler.. This is bad, amateur work given a superficial veneer of professionalism.. T... <div id="rmore">0368447</div></p>

The First Time (2012) Watch Full Movie

<p>The highest praise that I can give to this movie is that in the first fifteen minutes, I was rolling my eyes at these kids, and by the end, I was eager to re-watch that opening scene, to get to know them all over again.. It's a hard movie to dislike. But try.. The First Time feels slight and pretty ordinary by the end, with no edge or compelling insights.. Something of a wonder, a palm-size ball of banter and irony and earnestness that never stops rolling and almost never misses the sweet spots.... <div id="rmore">1763303</div></p>

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) Watch Streaming

<p>The action flick is overly long, complicated and, even by teen romance standards, cringe-worthy in its cheesiness.. More than just another watered-down tween franchise wannabe.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. References to "Star Wars" and the Harry Potter and Twilight universes pose less of a problem than the increasingly messy action scenes and an overabundance of main characters, more than enough to fuel several fra... <div id="rmore">1538403</div></p>

Focus (2015) Online Streaming

<p>Even if you're willing to forgive its sinkhole plotholes and farthest-fetched conceits, the film - from cowriters/co-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa - ultimately makes no sense.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. Drunk on its perfume-ad cinematography and doesn't know when to quit with its double-double cross plotting.. The film itself comes to feel like a con, thanks to a script that's too clever by two-thirds, and butterfingered in the ways of p... <div id="rmore">2381941</div></p>

American Pie 2 (2001) Watch Full Movie

<p>Marc Shaiman's peppy music conspires with Shankman's energized, retro-musical choreography to make for a giant cinematic grin -- a dimpled dental testament of faith in the powers of nice over nasty, tolerance over bigotry and aerosol over the ozone.. Less a movie than another efficient moneymaking machine for Universal Pictures, American Pie 2 is a remarkably boring comedy.. Still seems fresh, despite using the same ingredients of the first one.. It's a cheesy mixture of porn and corn.. Waters c... <div id="rmore">0252866</div></p>

Friends with Benefits (2011) Online Streaming

<p>The best romantic comedy of the year.. If "Tangled" hasn't morphed into a Broadway show within five years, then Disney isn't as smart as I think it is.. Friends with Benefits is fast, allusive, urban, glamorous -- clearly the Zeitgeist winner of the summer.. Friends With Benefits is a dumb, by-the-numbers romantic comedy. Yet I kept finding small things to enjoy in it, mainly because of the two hard-to-hate leads.. Disney's spirited re-telling of Rapunzel in 3D animation turns out to be a dazzle... <div id="rmore">1632708</div></p>

If I Stay (2014) Online Streaming

<p>There are even shades of Bergman in the existential premise, but director J.R. Cutler is more interested in the young leads' cookie-cutter romance, and the clunky nonlinear plot precludes any sort of comprehensive narrative.. For a drama pretty much aimed at 12-year-old girls, this is less superficial than you'd expect.. "If I Stay" just barely makes the B honor roll, despite a fine job by dark-indie darling Chloe Grace Moretz in her mainstream breakout performance.. If I Stay is true to princip... <div id="rmore">1355630</div></p>
