Rio 2 (2014) Play Streaming

A near-perfect mix of fresh characters, well-cast voices, superb visuals, and a fast-paced, fantasy-adventure plot.. I admit I feel a little guilty to be praising a production whose aims are so thoroughly modest, but I laughed all the way through this movie.. From the squirrel's mad, droopy eyes, to the rumba rhythms of Manny's rear end, to the way Diego settles into sleep like a tabby, these creatures are alive enough to love, and lament.. With so much going on, it's a wonder this kids' movie i...

Happy Feet (2006) Download Full

Strictly by the numbers, from the believe-in-yourself moral to the purely predictable ending.. Was I enchanted, entertained or even diverted for its 108-minute running time? Not really.. An endearing enough David-and-Goliath tale, aimed squarely at younger kids.. You should see Happy Feet -- not only because it's stupendous, but also because it features the best dancing you'll see on the screen this year.. The production numbers are delightful, but the musical fun is marooned in cliched storytel...

The Boxcar Children (2014) Full Movie Streaming

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..

Waking Life (2001) Full Streaming

A better movie than anyone could have possibly expected, thanks in large part to an honest effort by Harris in a thankless role.. Adorable and annoying, patently unnecessary yet kinda sweet, it's a calculated commercial enterprise with little soul but an appreciable amount of heart.. A smart, sensuous and sensory mind trip that caroms around a universe of thought.. Exhilarating, transporting, funny and haunting -- and at times maddeningly heady or narcotically logy -- Waking Life doesn't compare...

Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015) Download Movie

[The film] runs a reasonable-sounding 92 minutes. Yet those 92 feel like more than enough.. Clever bits, sight gags and situational slapstick will appeal to both kids and adults, especially the flock's problems carrying out smart sheep Shaun's elaborate schemes.. Every once in a while, the movie delivers a laugh big enough to dwarf its more modest charms-further emphasizing that this is junior-level Aardman.. The movie is based on a British TV series, and if the individual sheep characters are n...

Minions (2015) Watch Full Movie

Buddy films have always been about balancing opposite urges. Here the balance mirrors not only what's needed for great art, but also for mental and spiritual healing.. It's all strictly one-note stuff. But it's a funny note, and the film has a grand old time giving us the same type of gag over and over again.. While it's an energetic romp, there is more slapstick humor than wit at work here, and a good deal of borrowing from the far more clever Monsters, Inc.. Inside Out [is] a bold, gorgeous, s...

Thunder and the House of Magic (2013) Download Movie

"Thunder" doesn't boast a distinctive look or a cast of famous voices. But its characters are engaging and its action sequences exhilarating.. While the picture has the star power of Nicolas Cage and Julia Roberts voicing insects in love, they're not nearly as interesting a couple as Woody Allen and Sharon Stone in Antz.. Bright visuals, snappy dialogue and a smart plot make The Ant Bully a welcome summer treat.. Kiddie-friendly toilet humour, a whiff of suspense and familiar voice actors make i...
