Spike Island (2012) Download Full

It's far from the most unpleasant kiddie flick I've sat through this year, although I would be misleading you if I promised you lots of laughs.. This is not a film for purists or quibblers.. The slapstick required of everyone, animals or not, will exhaust even parents who remember the Chipmunks' original hits.. In place of punk's howling rage, you get gross-out jokes that include at least a half-dozen close-ups of the poop from Kristal's bowel-challenged dog.. Mythologizing by way of whip-pans a...

The Groomsmen (2006) Download Full

Like Schwartzman, Stiller devotes aptly excessive attention to the portrayal of a character too invested in trivial pursuits himself. It's the movie's one decent joke, but, in the absence of laughs, the most the actors can draw from it is a mere grin.. The movie snaps sharply to life every now and then, and its unfashionable decency really gets to you.. The revelations aren't all that surprising and the build-up isn't all that interesting. At least not as interesting as watching Lillard, of all ...

A silly movie that's essentially a series of cliches strung together into a semblance of a movie.. . Manages to hold our attention for an entire 97 minutes, a feat that even metal bands with real Marshall amps are hard-pressed to accomplish.. Parents beware. Bratz will rot your child's mind, drain her soul and likely encourage early Botox dependency.. I found it mildly amusing. I didn't hate it..

Pitch Perfect (2012) Watch Streaming

Not quite pitch perfect, but it's irresistible.. What we have here is a not-very-funny college comedy for tweens, full of unappealing characters (and although the musical arrangements are fun, some truly unimaginative choreography).. Cannon doesn't go in for rococo hipster badinage in the vein of Diablo Cody. She can pare down a joke to its essence .... "Pitch Perfect" doesn't take itself any more seriously than it has to, and has plenty of fun both sending up and celebrating its subject matter....

De-Lovely (2004) Full Movie Streaming

Bungled, empty and tortuously constructed.. Porter's songs keep much the film afloat when, otherwise, it would have sunk. No matter how turgid or murky the movie becomes, when the music starts, you're flying.. This hybrid of psychological investigation, musical celebration and period drama is a muddle.. Porter's music is made for movies, and just about anywhere else, but maybe the man himself wasn't.. This elegant production beautifully captures a time and place that no longer exists -- and perh...

At times the movie version of "Jersey Boys" captures the electric excitement of the musical, but for every soaring mom...

A deeper glimpse of the San Diego indie-rock scene around him might have made Brook's self-absorbed resentment less overbearing..
