Beautiful Creatures (2013) Play Movie

<p>The original young-adult book had even more going on, but filmmaker Richard LaGravenese has tried to simplify it. Even so, the movie's mythology seems confused if not outright contradictory.. As a human tragedy of man and monster, of beauty and beast, it has just enough genuine pathos that you wish it were better.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but w... <div id="rmore">1559547</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>

The Princess and the Frog (2009) Full Movie Streaming

<p>Makes something wistful, enduring and even optimistic out of humanity's basest instincts.. A welcome return to the Disney tradition of 2-D animation.. Efficient, well-practiced storytelling is what we expect from a Disney animated feature. The real story here for parents is the clever and careful recalibration of the princess archetype.. It's a very cute film, a very accessible work for children and families.. [Bellucci] has presence, maybe even talent, but you wish that Malena's inner life had ... <div id="rmore">0780521</div></p>

The Three Musketeers (2011) Online Streaming

<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.. Huffing through the early scenes of The Last Song with ... <div id="rmore">1509767</div></p>

Sex Tape (2014) Download Movie

<p>Maybe it's not a whole new world, but it's one you already know and love quite well.. 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.. At heart, it's about as naughty as an old Disney movie with Dean Jones, Suzanne Pleshette, and an unruly Great Dane. I liked ... <div id="rmore">1956620</div></p>

The Loft (2014) Full Movie Streaming

<p>It's as nasty as its heroes, and isn't competent enough to know it.. Whodunit? Even the filmmakers don't seem quite sure. A waste of a perfectly good premise.. Erotic thrillers are a time-tested genre, but this effort, scripted by Wesley Strick, is neither erotic nor thrilling.. The twisty plot translates to any culture where swinging-d--- businessmen cheat on their wives -- which is to say, any culture.. Hollywood adds to its trend of awful throwbacks to trashy '90s movies with "The Loft.". The... <div id="rmore">1850397</div></p>

13 Going On 30 (2004) Download Full

<p>No question: 13 Going on 30 could have aimed higher, but it hits the target at which it carefully points.. You buy the magic because it comes with the territory. 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.. Garner is so appealing as Jenna ... that she almost makes you forget you've already seen Tom Hanks endure similar travails in 1988's Big.. You find yours... <div id="rmore">0337563</div></p>
