Corellis Mandoline (2001) Streaming-

Strikes too many false notes on the dramatic side to add up to a satisfying emotional experience.. . Captain Corelli's Mandolin gets things about half right.. Aspiring to melancholy wisdom and worldly significance, the movie achieves only a coy, frothy simulation of whatever we thought we loved about old-fashioned love stories.. We began this dismal movie season with one lethally bad World War II romance -- Pearl Harbor -- and now we're wrapping up with another howling dog, Captain Corelli's Man...

O21 (2014) Download Film

The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. 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 it’s thrilling to behold.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cin...

King Arthur (2004) Film-Streaming

By going back to its origins and dusting itself off, the King Arthur story has proved itself to have a very contemporary resonance.. A kind name for this attitude is false moral equivalence, or perhaps post-imperial cringe. A less kind one is Western self-hatred, or an urgent plea to tolerate the intolerant.. In creating his one-man epic, Polanski takes us beyond the horror of evil or the banality of evil. He takes us into its hideous absurdity.. Forget all that accuracy business and just enjoy ...

American Sniper (2014) Film-Streaming

Given its subject, it should have been great, but it turns out to be simply good.. The movie reality created by Eastwood is powerful and intense, and "American Sniper" is arguably his best picture since "Unforgiven.". As a castaway story, a historical drama and a portrait of an Olympian turned soldier, "Unbroken" is a touching and important work.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it fi...

Little Boy (2015) Download Film

One of the most insightful films about religion since the 1977 comedy "Oh, God!," which also wrangled with personal beliefs and unprovable truths.. The movie is the latest multiplex filler to co-opt a classic tale only to drown it in computer-generated murk. Even the title has the ring of something created by committee.. Here we have a vampire movie that brings together elements from other more popular movies.. If this Dracula can kill hundreds of enemies by himself - and he can, and does, in se...
