There's no explaining the presence of Guy Pearce in Pauline Chan's sappy, atonal family drama. But it's easy enough to understand why he looks so uncomfortable throughout.. A clunky hybrid-half feel-good weepie, half preposterous thriller-that functions primarily as an elaborate travel brochure .... It's the kind of high-school movie about kids and music that Hollywood would never be able to capture with such intimacy, nuance and restraint.. Funny, droll, sweetly directed and note-perfect.. Just...
I Used to Be Darker (2013) Download Full
Nuanced performances by the non-professional cast and a haunting soundtrack help fill in the deliberate narrative gaps.. Mr. Porterfield might sometimes be too subtle for his own good, but by taking us on a low-key ramble through the ever-shifting feelings of a fractured family, he has woven a dreamy, detached chronicle of dissolution and renewal.. Less successful are the sour interactions between Kim and Bill, since nonactors Taylor and Oldham are asked to shoulder several sharp turns of emotio...
The Song (2014) Play Streaming
With its strong performances, musical and otherwise, this romantic melodrama is many cuts above the faith-based norm.. A ceaseless, hurtin' tune of a music-driven romantic drama, "The Song" plays out its tired refrain with all the subtlety of a Sunday sermon.. The actors, none of whom have much experience, are quite convincing, but the story - Jed falls, then sees the error of his ways - is an oft-told one.. The performances are uniformly fine, which keeps things involving. Powell, in particular...

Five Dances (2013) Download Full
A lovingly shot valentine to work and body and art, and a generous, ultimately happy little story of a lost boy finding a community and a kindred soul.. Though the film's untested cast struggles with the drama, and the sketched-out story is often banal (there are several amateurish calls-to-mom scenes), the presentation of a specific city subculture is etched from the heart.. Unfortunately, schmaltzy music and drab melodrama drag down the otherwise graceful moves of Five Dances.. There's an inte...
Josie and the Pussycats (2001) Play Streaming
The movie swings like a pendulum between elation and despair, with little time devoted to anything in between.. Their cool-to-be-cruel stance is too hip for the room and a likely turnoff for preteen girls who don't like fluff balls laced with bile.. This Belgian drama is the real deal, an alternately wrenching and ecstatic viewing experience, adapted from a play by lead actor Johan Heldenbergh.. Tune up your banjos and break out the hankies.. When the band is onscreen, the film becomes alive, ev...

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 its thrilling to behold.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. This movie is an epic action movie that I believe in a few years from now shall be more appreciated than it is today !!. A movie can have a superb story, amazing c...
