Howl (2010) Play Streaming

<p>This is a bold, inspiring piece of work, putting experimental techniques in the service of a heartfelt, insightful and surprisingly audience-friendly work of art.. It's well-crafted, but I wish the film showed us an additional dimension or two of the central figure, who once said the great challenge in writing, any kind of writing, is "to write the same way you are.". Though it's all over the map, tonally and thematically, Mr. Nice succeeds at showing how illegality breeds illegality.. Though th... <div id="rmore">1049402</div></p>

Jobs (2013) Full Streaming

<p>He was a charismatic leader, and the greatest salesman the industry ever saw.. Not that the real man's career wasn't marked by conflict, but does Jobs have to be such a drag?. The irony is that a man who treasured innovation and sleek, stylish design should be the subject of a film that's so bland and bloated.. There's a void inside the man that Kutcher never manages to fill.. It's a daring performance that instantly undermines Kutcher's pretty-boy features and makes them seem ugly and brutally ... <div id="rmore">2357129</div></p>

Miss Potter (2006) Play Movie

<p>Right from the start, The Liberator looks like televisual hackwork, despite an impressive budget.. The film's wholesome, freshly scrubbed tedium suggests literary history drained of life and preserved in formaldehyde.. Packages a real-life story of athletic triumph and social progress into an accessible, rousing melodrama that is no less potent for being almost entirely predictable.. Unbearably, the script accommodates a quaking courtship between the slightly dotty Potter and her devoted young p... <div id="rmore">0482546</div></p>

Last Days (2005) Play Streaming

<p>Last Days is director Gus Van Sant's meditation on the death of Kurt Cobain, and an extraordinary meditation it is.. Often an engrossing example of the sweeping, stirring biography.. A film about a junkie rock musician, played by Michael Pitt at his most narcissistic, doing nothing in particular for the better part of 97 minutes isn't my idea of either a good time or a serious endeavor.. In putting the onus for meaning on viewers, Van Sant has pinned the film's success to our subjectivity. It mi... <div id="rmore">0403217</div></p>

<p>. Stow your cynicism and give this lesson in continuing education the response it deserves -- more than a polite clap, maybe even a sitting ovation.. A tearful, joyful, imperfect, yet nearly irresistible ode to the human spirit.. Salawich's film is entertaining and leaves you with warm feelings from learning about this man who turned adversity into good for so many others.. The filmmaking is ... uneven, filled with charming picture-postcard scenes of smiling children and African sunshine that se... <div id="rmore">0790663</div></p>

Max Manus: Man of War (2008) Play Movie

<p>Just think of it as a movie about a friendly, sick old man who can be quite a handful, and put the real FDR out of your mind.. Essentially, Hyde Park on Hudson is a Shakespearean revel.. An epic by Scandinavian standards, Manus's period re-creation is lavish-but the too-polished rental decor doesn't create a living past.. This is a cool, collected, concise film - to its detriment.. They're a fun bunch, these Roosevelts and their friends. But even in this crowd, fun's just not enough.. There's an... <div id="rmore">1029235</div></p>

Amazing Grace (2006) Watch Streaming

<p>The best movie I've ever seen. amazing in every acting of the players as real and natural.. Grufudd is fine, passionate and single-minded, though overly Romantic, and quietly upstaged by the extraordinary Benedict Cumberbatch.. Amazing Grace isn't quite an accurate title for this entertaining history lesson, but no one will ever write a song titled 'Amazing 20-Year Period of Parliamentary Maneuvering to End Britain's Role in the Slave Trade.'. So much to admire and so little to amaze.. A good --... <div id="rmore">0454776</div></p>
