Camp X-Ray (2014) Online Streaming

It tosses over all that finely drawn narrative caution and goes straight for the sensational, swinging its attention on Bruno's distraught mother and the breakdown of a single German family.. The narrative rushes through Nazi book burnings, Kristallnacht, the roundup of Jews and Hitler's fury over the Olympic triumph of Jesse Owens, a surface treatment of major events that barely conveys the horror...

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) Download Full

The movie's craft is dead and dutiful. It's an Oscar machine.. The movie is dramatically slack and uninvolving.. Based on an actual Greek tragedy of epic proportions, which inspired a novel by Louis de Bernieres, Captain Corelli's Mandolin has finally been adapted to the big screen, with largely positive results.. The problem is that the novel is about a lot more than this, and the story suffers in...

[Images of WWI are] terrible, but shadowy and distant, and it takes...

Testament of Youth (2014) Watch Full Movie

A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography,...

It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. 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...

Gods and Generals (2003) Play Streaming

What the filmmakers fail to recognize is that history on the page is quite different from what it needs to be onscreen, namely alive and visceral.. Four hours including the intermission, I felt like I was seeing the Civil War in real time for awhile there.. Few of [the actors] are able to compete with the wigs and the platitudes.. It may not be the worst war epic ever made -- that probably would be...
