No Strings Attached (2011) Online Streaming

<p>It's not that the leads aren't affable. They are. It's not that they aren't nice to look at. They are. (Although the cinematography makes them look sort of blotchy.) It's just hard to care if they hook up after they, well, hook up.. At least Portman is playing someone who is recognizably human, unlike her dancer in Black Swan.. The overall effect is one of a sumptuously laid table where the main course is overcooked.. Close your eyes. And now imagine the whole thing re-cast and shot by Stanley D... <div id="rmore">1411238</div></p>

The Best of Me (2014) Watch Streaming

<p>We've seen this story told in similar fashion so many times in the past. I only wish we could have had it delivered in a fresher, less cliche-filled package.. The sunlight is golden, the accent's rural (this one's set in Louisiana), people die, sagacious letters are read aloud.. "The Best of Me" to actual romance what pro wrestling is to actual sports: A loud, overdone mix of sweaty clinches and implausible events leading to a conclusion you knew well before the start, never mind before the end.... <div id="rmore">1972779</div></p>

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) Play Streaming

<p>A spectacularly silly video-game adaptation about a Fresh Prince of Gel Hair who runs around the desert with a magic dagger, a curious version of Alfred Molina and some hoity-toity chick who never breaks a sweat. It's sort of pointless.. Prince of Persia got the go-ahead from an administration at Disney that was sent on its way last year. I wouldn't be surprised if their successors at the Mouse House wish they had a magic dagger that would allow them to go back and erase this movie.. Prince of P... <div id="rmore">0473075</div></p>

Unfaithful (2002) Full Streaming

<p>. The Host raises many questions, among them, how has it taken this long for Diane Kruger to play an alien?. Long, tedious and often unintentionally hilarious.. Becalmed in this ghastly, would-be comedy, Aniston can do little to mitigate its ickiness.. A goofball teenage sci-fi romance, "The Host" is an End of Days parable that seems like it was written at a slumber party.. Unfaithful ends so badly that it's impossible to recommend. At the same time, the film is impossible to dismiss because of ... <div id="rmore">0250797</div></p>

Last Night (2010) Download Movie

<p>The real question, is who cares?. It's the sort of movie that thinks cutting between two different stories makes it art. Usually, it feels like an exercise in art. There's a lot of calisthenics but very little beauty or truth or whatever it is the movie is going for.. Forget about sex or adultery -- there isn't enough life in Last Night.. It's a quiet, contemplative film that reminded me of Mike Nichols' Closer, with too many shots of lighting cigarettes and looking pensive in train windows, but... <div id="rmore">1294688</div></p>

Spring (2015) Online Streaming

<p>If only there was less mush and more meat in this stew.. If Richard Linklater attempted a remake of Val Lewton's Cat People, the end result might resemble Spring.. The protagonist of this low-budget indie is so well characterized that it might have developed into a straight drama instead of the horror movie it becomes, though of course that's the key to most good genre films.. Enduring this soppy muddle of twinkling stars, fluttering wings, refracted points of light and destiny-led swooners is l... <div id="rmore">3395184</div></p>

The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005) Play Streaming

<p>Apatow genuinely loves his hero, and the film's innate sweetness carries it through the rough patches of a funny comedy with a central relationship that isn't particularly funny.. It's a little long, a lot lowbrow. But The 40-Year-Old Virgin is a stitch. See it if you could use a laugh.. Hilarious and imaginatively crude with a surprising sweet and subtle aftertaste that prevents it from flopping, limp and brainless, into the sugary abyss of romantic predictability.. Count me among the naysayers... <div id="rmore">0405422</div></p>
