Foxcatcher (2014) Watch Streaming

<p>The triumph of Foxcatcher is not in the subject but in its art. The clear-eyed compassion and moral intelligence of Miller's film brings sense to the senseless, and finds the human pulse behind the tabloid shock.. At its core, "Foxcatcher" grapples, bluntly, with the subjects of class and money, and what some people do when, to quote a line from "Psycho," they can't buy off their own unhappiness.. The fatherhood issues fueling the tension among Mark (Channing Tatum), Dave (Mark Ruffalo), and du ... <div id="rmore">1100089</div></p>

Ip Man: The Final Fight (2013) Full Movie Streaming

<p>A stylish, arresting, disturbing film.. Chopper plays like a nonfuturistic A Clockwork Orange.. It's hard not to admire the intentions of a movie that depicts two exceptional women living exactly the way they wanted, together, outside the expected societal norms of the time. But the tone of the film itself feels unfortunately conventional.. The life of American Poet Laureate Elizabeth Bishop furnishes surprisingly vivid emotional material in Reaching for the Moon.. The overall sense is of a rush... <div id="rmore">2495118</div></p>

The Iron Lady (2011) Full Movie Streaming

<p>Somewhere in the middle of this 127-minute film, the energy drops out, and Forster never quite gets it back.. Streep, no fan of Thatcher, nicely undercuts the poignancy of her current condition with flashbacks that reveal her brittle arrogance in office.. Butler acts the role within an inch of its life.. While the rest of "The Iron Lady" fades quickly in memory, Meryl Streep's performance in the title role remains startlingly present..

Straight Outta Compton (2015) Online Streaming

<p>An explosively entertaining biopic about the hip-hop group that brought gangsta rap into the mainstream of popular culture in the 1980s.. Straight Outta Compton is so beholden to the appeasement of so many artists and legacies and estates that none of it coheres as a movie.. Straight Outta Compton aims to cross cultures and sanctify the wisdom of the street-to make a universal underdog story. It succeeds on a visceral level..

<p>... as strange and exhilarating as riding the running board of John Dillinger's fast, shiny, black getaway car.. A crowd-pleasing baseball movie for people - like me - who don't like baseball movies.. With its measured, team-produced screenplay by Mann, Ronan Bennett, and Ann Biderman, Public Enemies makes heavy business of the notion that Hoover ushered in an era of ethically elastic law-enforcement procedures still recognizable today.. It's like spending an afternoon -- a long one -- at a beau... <div id="rmore">1210166</div></p>

<p>A lovely performance by Ethiopian supermodel-actress Liya Kebede as supermodel-activist Waris Dirie works wonders to elevate this uneven, occasionally awkward but often absorbing film.. The broad comedy clashes with the movie's final message.. It has a compelling message and surrounds it with biopic scenes that appear to be brought in from a different kind of movie.

<p>While all this channel-switching and inevitable unearthing of psychic demons generates a great awards-season clip, it doesn't necessarily lead to a satisfying drama.. Frankie & Alice feels like a film that might have been groundbreaking 40 years ago but has cable-TV movie of the week written all over it in 2014..

Chopper (2000) Full Streaming

Chopper plays like a nonfuturistic A Clockwork Orange.. Dominik doesn't glamorize or glorify Chopper, but his film contributes to making Mark Brandon Read as mythical an Australian rogue as Ned Kelly..

The King's Speech is admirably free of easy answers and simple, happy endings; it's a skewed, awards-ready version of history, but one polished to a fine, satisfying shine..

<p>Though told here with appealing drollness, Marks's story makes an odd vessel for the filmmakers' casually advanced legalization arguments, what with its mischief making on the grandest scale possible.. [Ifans] captures the character's charisma and cool, and it's fun to ride shotgun with him. But the script isn't pointed enough to drill beneath the surface.. Mildly amusing but overly discursive..
