Flags of Our Fathers (2006) Full Movie Streaming

Eastwood's two-film project is one of the most visionary of all efforts to depict the reality and meaning of battle.. Flags of Our Fathers is an accomplished, stirring, but, all in all, rather strange movie.. . If the larger vision in Flags is somewhat out of focus, there are many small glimpses and grace notes that show Eastwood's well-developed sense of the particular in revealing a larger truth.. In his no-nonsense style, the 76-year-old filmmaker is merely telling the story he was given.. Sy...

Code Unknown (2000) Play Streaming

Even more impressive is the way Haneke evokes violence without showing it, and whips up tension and dread without music or any of the manipulative tricks so popular among Hollywood filmmakers.. Unfortunately, [Haneke's] often too cryptic, which leaves viewers still trying to make connections when they should already be reacting to the moral lessons implied by them.. The violence, in short, remains unseen, but that makes it no easier to bear; what lurks and wails behind a wall is, for Haneke, the...

Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) Play Movie

It skillfully avoids the usual war movie cliches while providing multiple points of entry.. Pushes all sorts of envelopes -- political, historical and erotic -- against the sanctified background of the Nazi Holocaust, hitherto unthinkable as the linchpin of a lively melodrama like Black Book.. . Eloquent, bloody, and daringly simple, the movie examines notions of wartime glory as closely as Flags of Our Fathers dissected heroism.. In the last half-hour, the story, like the Japanese, loses its wa...

The Patience Stone (2012) Online Streaming

A startling fantasy of Muslim feminist empowerment that allows the Iranian-born actress Golshifteh Farahani to put on what amounts to a one-woman show.. Most impressive, however, is Farahani's lead performance. Though often pitiable, the heroine never registers as a martyr or a victim, but a relatable, multifaceted human being.. The bare room where the husband lies helpless becomes a confessional where Farahani pours out the woman's life story in a performance that grabs you with its quiet yet s...

The Great Raid (2005) Play Movie

It's not only Americans who can make leaden, video game-style exercises in dumb war action.. The picture's broad outline may be fact, but everything inside gets painted in a deep shade of bogus.. Solid and convincing, if pedestrian, World War II story that has its moments.. Obsessed with authenticity, the movie simply isn't 'Hollywood' enough. What could have been a valuable history lesson for everyone is just more fodder for military buffs.. If you turned the sound off and removed the subtitles...

Phantom (2013) Watch Full Movie

Flimsy dramatization of Russia/Georgia conflict fails both as historical re-enactment and as action-flick thrill ride.. Had it rejected the genre's romantic trappings and false heroics more consistently, the movie might've been worth the ride.. The basis for the film's confusing, cliche-stuffed plot is the mysterious sinking of a Soviet submarine in 1968 - an event around which Mr. Robinson spins a yarn of unpardonable monotony.. Should appeal more to those who like to watch stuff blow up than u...
