The Edge of Love (2008) Play Movie

Apted and Stoppard have bitten off too much as they attempt to juggle an espionage plot and parallel past/present romances.. Jericho and Hester spend so much time on investigative idylls in the damp spring countryside that spy work starts to seem like a military garden party.. Apted and his crew pull out all the stops to craft a thriller out of material that looks better on paper than it does on film.. Pay attention, guess where it's going, and find yourself surprised.. A stagy, arty, and uncomp...

Mongol (2007) Watch Full Movie

While the historical accuracy may be dodgy, Mongol is a sweeping and quasi-mythical epic that recalls Lawrence of Arabia.. This version incarnates the prophetic book in a way even its exacting author might admire.. The result is a rarity on the modern screen -- a film with more brains than heart. Yet that alone makes for a pleasant change.. Caine's imperial world weariness gives the movie a vital potency.. Phillip Noyce and all of his actors -- as well as his cinematographer, Christopher Doyle -...

Act of Valor (2012) Full Movie Streaming

A mechanically efficient yet soulless dramatization of the U.S. Navy SEALs in action.. These guys ... are the real deal. And any hero worship given them - badly done or not - is still deserved.. While subtleties and pacing are MIA, the filmmakers know how to shoot action and they make the most of it in Act of Valor.. I don't know what to make of Act of Valor. It's like reviewing a recruiting poster.. The special ops missions are pretty amazing, but the SEALS as dramatic characters are under-deve...

Rambo (2008) Download Full

Can't easily be dismissed or forgotten.. Tthe images have what I can only describe as a wonderful texture. They also have intense color: deep gemlike greens and reds, with black shadows out of an old master painting.. The trouble here is not so much that Spielberg's film staunchly insists on finding a happy ending even in the calamity of the First World War, but that he slathers it on so thick and leaves so soft an impression.. This movie may seem to some like little more than boys' war games. B...

Valkyrie (2008) Full Movie Streaming

Despite its potential to be a turkey for the ages, Singer's blandly proficient historical thriller is fatally forgettable.. Russell Crowe swaggers marvelously in the seafaring adventure Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.. If this is the stuff that rings the bell on your macho meter, go with my blessing.. What you miss in both Defiance and Valkyrie is inner conflict. Their protagonists have not an instant of self-doubt. They're figures in historical pageants, not characters in a dra...

Enigma (2001) Full Streaming

If the movie's plot is a rare combination of impenetrable and inconsequential, it has been laid out compellingly by director Michael Apted.. Pay attention, guess where it's going, and find yourself surprised.. A complicated and intelligent British film with a curious roster of off-screen talent.. Complex, sinuously plotted and, somehow, off-puttingly cold.. It merely plods, occasionally bogging down in explanations and never generating much excitement.. Apted and his crew pull out all the stops ...

Deathwatch (2002) Full Streaming

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.. Thank you for giving information about the film. this a good movie to be watched for sure.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for ...

Home of the Brave (2006) Watch Streaming

"Lore" is the sort of movie you'd already expect to rip your heart out, but that doesn't diminish the tragedy when it does arrive.. If there's a way to do justice to the story of American troops coming home from Iraq, Home of the Brave hasn't found it.. The young principals here, Malina and especially Rosendahl, are superb at conveying that premature hardening, their elastic minds pummelled by inelastic forces.. The sins of the Fatherland send a German teenage girl and her Nazi-connected family ...

Paradise Now (2005) Full Streaming

[A] sensitive, occasionally didactic film.. Certainly what Said says will not come as a surprise to any Israeli. It's simply that they disagree. We may disagree, too, and yet watch the film with a fearsome fascination.. The director's two impulses -- to keep the audience hooked while illuminating the Palestinian plight -- never feel entirely compatible.. Asks the big questions and answers quite a few of them, although its ending is tantalizingly ambiguous.. Viewers of all persuasions can find a ...

Boys of Abu Ghraib (2014) Download Full

Straddling nihilism and a moral fastidiousness so "pure" it flirts with the very fascism it means to critique, The Notebook cedes not one solitary inch to humanism.. The relentless calamity becomes a grind, offering few insights beyond ones that are obvious in the first half hour.. A halfhearted attempt at truly getting inside these men's and women's heads to make sense of their actions, which is ostensibly the purpose of dramatizing such a recent and shameful ordeal.. This cautionary tale certa...

Fury (2014) Watch Full Movie

[Cumberbatch's] whose portrayal of the British mathematician and WWII code-smasher is a feat of nuanced intelligence, a portrait of anguish with hints of arid humor. And, yes, arrogance.. Cumberbatch is moviedom's man of the moment, and with this painfully human performance, the actor who has specialized in difficult geniuses finally cracks the code of compassion.. "Fury" wants to lead us to a fresh consideration of "the good war" while simultaneously celebrating the old bromides and cliches. No...

Miracle at St. Anna (2008) Watch Streaming

The impulse here is to say something about the nobility of this movie's intent or to note that Spike Lee is one of our best filmmakers. But the first and most honest thing to say about Miracle at St. Anna is that it's an awful mess.. I really like this movie. thank you. Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. ...

Lone Survivor (2013) Watch Full Movie

Lone Survivor comes on like a raised fist.. This is a harrowing film to watch. In spite of the vibrant jungle greens and the searing sun, it's as bleak a vision of modern warfare as has ever been put on screen.. Lone Survivor isn't always sophisticated ... But there's moral complexity and a climax in an Afghan village which is tense and surprisingly moving.. Part of the fascination of the Thermopylae story is that it really happened, and it helped define real heroism. There's nothing remotely li...

U-571 (2000) Download Movie

You can enjoy U-571 as a big, dumb war movie without a brain in its head. But that doesn't stop it from looking cheesy.. U-571 moves like a torpedo.. The battle scenes soar, thanks to top-notch and thrilling special effects. Quieter scenes give characters added dimension, such as those that address one officer's drinking problem.. This is so generic as storytelling that it fails even as a basic history lesson: it's hard to believe that the stock conflicts on-screen have any connection to real ev...

The Hunting Party (2007) Watch Streaming

The Hunting Party has good aim, but just misses.. It's a political story -- and an uncannily timely one -- yet the politics fade into the background in the wake of Caine's complex and splendid performance.. By the time the end credits roll, you're still not sure what kind of movie The Hunting Party is supposed to be, other than just queasy.. This story still seems timely and important. And there's an element of heartbreak to watching it now, with older and wiser eyes, because we know what will h...
