What in any other hands than Mitchell's might have been a sexual sight gag becomes a symbol of personal freedom and expression.. This is the single best movie I have ever seen.Thanks for your movie info.. Mitchell's textured acting and singing make Hedwig a mercurial creature, not just a transvestite harpy.. Destined to please only bad movie buffs desperate for a fix of awful dialogue, blatant product...
You Instead (2011) Play Movie
Australian director Bruce Beresford handles the culture-clash aspects of the story with a surprising lack of subtlety.. Occasionally amusing but too often aggravating: pretty people in ugly places listening to crap pop and looking pleased with themselves.. The most interesting elements of Li's story -- dance, politics, and the politics of dance -- have been dulled from their source material, though...
Departures (2008) Full Streaming
Departures is a loving tribute to the Japanese way of death.. Yojiro Takita's movie simultaneously tickles tears of mourning as it wrings laughs about the meaning of life.. Departures is such an elegant, beautifully mounted meditation on death, funeral customs and parent-child relations that you may find yourself sniffling and resisting simultaneously.. Incredibly moving.. The film is far from perfect...

Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (2009) Full Movie Streaming
Too much of the time, the film seems intoxicated by its own sense of importance.. A persuasive depiction of the tempestuous affair of two 20th-century titans.. A sumptuous re-creation of '20s France and the mad affair between two of the century's most iconic figures.. In the end, Coco & Igor offers little insight into its titular titans of modernism. There's little understanding of their individual...
Garage Days (2002) Download Full
A disappointment.. Despite Cheung's efforts (she won the best actress award at Cannes in 2004) and a strong and subtle supporting performance by Nick Nolte, the story could have used a good dose of adrenaline to keep it from often seeming lifeless.. Director Alex Proyas tries to serve up a good-spirited romp, but by the time this one arrives at its welcome conclusion, you may well have had enough...
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny (2006) Play Streaming
If thou wouldst rock tonight, thou couldst rock mightily tonight at Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.. Davis directs the low-budget production with economy and a lack of surface flashiness that is pleasingly unpretentious.. The bottom line: Jack Black rocks -- especially when he rocks.. Strictly for the tenaciously devoted.. . Dull, a road-trip movie that's surprisingly short of both adventure and...
Raise Your Voice (2004) Full Movie Streaming
A film that's really just an infomercial for a soundtrack.. While their transformation is predictable, it's quietly enjoyable, and the teen angle opens the door to romance and gritty gang-war subplots.. . . A miserable waste of a harebrained script fleshed out with mediocre performances by a flailing cast.. You could go out and see this feel-good facsimile and be moderately entertained, or rent Mad...
