Get on Up (2014) Play Streaming

<p>As is usual with any Mike Leigh film -- a style unique and trademarked by now -- his ensemble is a collection of remarkably adept actors who know their characters so well they could stay in character for weeks, continually improvising, as they often do.. Before and after everything else, "Get On Up" is about the transformative power of performance.. Bursting with hipster attitude and New York atmosphere, the fact-based "Kill Your Darlings" is a coming-of-age chronicle that morphs into a crime st... <div id="rmore">2473602</div></p>

American Gangster (2007) Full Streaming

<p>Here's something I never expected to say about a big-budget Oliver Stone film starring Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie and Val Kilmer: It's dull.. Scorsese has crafted a luxurious entertainment that goes down like a flute of sparkling, silky champagne.. For talent, Scott couldn't start much purer. Washington and Crowe are consummate craftsmen who burrow deep into their characters.. What American Gangster does have -- what makes it such a commanding, exhilarating movie -- is a consummate love and u... <div id="rmore">0765429</div></p>

Notorious (2009) Full Streaming

<p>The best thing about Notorious is its across-the-board, excellent cast, especially the soulful Woolard and Mackie's mesmerizing work as the complex Shakur.. It must have been an act of great restraint for Sean Combs to resist titling this film, about Chris Wallace, his close friend turned rapper and cultural icon, The Notorious B.I.G. -- The Sean Combs Story.. Notorious is like a piece of well-crafted bling. It looks good, and facets of it shine, but behind the gilded facade there's not much the... <div id="rmore">0472198</div></p>

A Beautiful Mind (2001) Watch Full Movie

<p>It's too bad then that the film...doesn't live up to Carell's memorable performance. As chilly as du Pont's mansion on a winter's night, Foxcatcher never quite comes together.. 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.. Pretty-boy Tatum impresses in every way. While it might not be a stretch for the strapping actor to play an a... <div id="rmore">0268978</div></p>

The Better Angels (2014) Download Full

<p>It feels more like a poem. Or, at times, a symphony. But it's much less effective as an actual movie.. Kruger and Clarke do their best to look steadfast with a camera swooping around them like a wounded bird, but there's no rescuing this imprecise family portrait from its own impulses toward obscurity.. All that extensively researched authenticity and soul-stirring cinematography go only so far in establishing a compelling connection to a specific time and place.. Those who appreciate Mr. Edward... <div id="rmore">2316868</div></p>

The Last of Robin Hood (2014) Full Streaming

<p>This final-days biopic ... hasn't much to raise it above straight-to-DVD caliber save the performance of Kevin Kline in a role he was born to play.. Since it's impossible to see what the attraction would be, the film's emotional logic fizzles.. [It] looks lowly and limp, and we seldom feel just how much is at stake.. The movie's a bit like the ones Flynn had to settle for at the tail end of his career, slightly out-of-control narratives in which poor, dissipated Errol was brought in to add some ... <div id="rmore">2450440</div></p>

Machine Gun Preacher (2011) Watch Full Movie

<p>"Machine Gun Preacher'' is crude and ham-handed from its ridiculous title on down, but it still gets to some interesting places.. There's more machine gunning than preaching, but what did you expect?. The cliches fly like so many spent bullet casings.... The filmmakers may have started with a real story here. But all they've come up with is a real chore.. Why is it that uplifting movies based on true stories often feel so untrue and fall so flat?. In telling a true story, ambiguity can be an ass... <div id="rmore">1586752</div></p>
