Fat Albert (2004) Play Streaming

<p>All part of growing up, an experience Son of Rambow portrays with genuine insight.. The Cosby touch (he's co-writer and co-executive producer) is in full effect, schmaltz notwithstanding, as Albert and the gang run through their series of pleasantly diverting escapades.. The darker tone, somber subtext, and generally non-exploitative violence allow viewers to enjoy the film not only as an action/thriller but as something with a degree of intelligence and substance.. Son of Rambow is filled with ... <div id="rmore">0396592</div></p>

The Haunted Mansion (2003) Watch Streaming

<p>[I]t's dreadful.. The story is so flimsy, could it possibly have been ghostwritten by Goofy?. It's raw and mean-spirited, with too many of the Smurf word substitutions more naughty than nice ("Who Smurfed?" or "Where the Smurf are we?"). That's Smurfed up.. More Disneyland ride than movie, short on plot and long on dazzling visuals for the kiddies.. Haunted Mansion won't be anybody's E-ticket ride, but it's an enjoyable movie for a very specific age range (children 8 to 12), and will be tolerabl... <div id="rmore">0338094</div></p>

Speed Racer (2008) Watch Full Movie

<p>More than the story of the Racer family, Speed Racer is the visual autobiography of the Wachowskis and their pit crew of computer-nerd Einsteins, using the tools of their trade to transform the movie medium.. Speed Racer is brilliantly photographed and edited. It's told in a literally visionary style, full of innovation and breathtaking risk. But when it comes to the story, it's running on empty.. The actors seem lost in a gumball dispenser; the audience, for the most part, might well feel the s... <div id="rmore">0811080</div></p>

First Blood (1982) Play Streaming

<p>After the movie, I imagined its writer-director, Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) being more than a little like Will, and the movie uncannily similar to one of Will's comic epics.. Director Ted Kotcheff has all sorts of trouble with this mess, aside from credibility.. As a Stallone vehicle this is sleek, slick and not unexciting, but crassly castrates the David Morrell novel on which it is based.. Milner and Poulter are a lot of fun to watch, a pair of first-timer naturals w... <div id="rmore">0083944</div></p>

RV (2006) Full Streaming

<p>Shapes hurtle toward you, then recede abruptly, each bearing some fragment of narrative information that has now passed you by forever. Nausea and anxiety begin to wash over you in overlapping waves.. It's about as funny as an explosion in a septic tank.. Writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski, the creators of the Matrix films, once again invent stunning visual tricks in this adaptation of the late-'60s Japanese anime.. . Cheesy, sappy, full of obvious slapstick and the odd Robin Williams pow... <div id="rmore">0449089</div></p>

Nancy Drew (2007) Watch Streaming

<p>Because is proof positive that nostalgia and dogs go together like Winn and Dixie.. Director Andrew Fleming loses his footing trying to shoehorn Nancy into contemporary times. It's a bad fit, reminiscent of Woody Allen's short story about a professor who whisks Madame Bovary into modern-day Manhattan.. Disney's The Kid is a better movie than it has any right to be.. None of the dialogue is particularly pointed, and the supposed Hollywood mean teens seem rather tame. (One of their big pranks invo... <div id="rmore">0479500</div></p>

Planes (2013) Watch Streaming

<p>I think at this point somebody needs to tell Robin Williams that the whole white-guy hip-hop routine was played out around 1997.. As with "Cars," the world of "Planes" feels safe. A little too safe, perhaps.. "Planes" is for the most part content to imitate rather than innovate, presumably hoping to reap a respectable fraction of the box office numbers of "Cars" and "Cars 2," which together made hundreds of millions of dollars.. A charmingly modest low-budget spin-off from Pixar's "Cars'' that p... <div id="rmore">1691917</div></p>
