Ice Age: The Meltdown Reviewed By Doug Bentin Posted 04/13/06 06:39:46

"Is it getting warm in here?" (Worth A Look)

I can?t say that I didn?t enjoy ?Ice Age 2: The Meltdown? because I did. I smiled at most of the jokes, but once again I regretted Ray Romano?s lack of vocal variety (Romano is Manny, the mammoth), and the fact that Denis Leary, as Diego the saber-tooth, wasn?t given much to do. I mean, if you don?t want a smirking, sardonic performance in a major role, don?t cast a comic who is known for being smirking and sarcastic to play it.John Leguizamo, who seems to select his movies carefully so he can always be the best thing in them, saves the day as Sid, the annoyingly na?ve sloth.This trio sill constitute a three-person ?herd,? one based on friendship rather than species. This time out, a vulture (Will Arnett) tells them, and the other fanciful pre-historic creatures of the valley, that the ice dam that has held back the water for thousands of years has been melting and will break apart in three days, drowning anyone who hasn?t crossed the valley and crawled into what he calls a ?boat.?Of course, the dead will provide a grand meal for him and his pals, so he hopes most of them won?t make it in time. One of the movie?s funniest moments comes when the vultures break into a chorus of ?Food, Glorious Food? and director Carlos Salhanha parodies classic musical numbers.On the way, Manny meets Ellie (Queen Latifah), a lady mammoth who thinks she?s a possum because she was raised by them. Her possum ?brothers,? Crash and Eddie (Seann William Scott and Josh Peck), are about as much fun as a pair of cherry bombs down the toilet, and in the same way.Along the way, several of the characters have life choices to make?selfishness or generosity, safety or adventure, self-preservation or courage?and, of course, they always make the culturally acceptable choice. Movies like this always teach that being accepted by the majority is preferable to traveling the road alone, but the plots stack the deck by presenting the dilemmas in pure black or white.You?ll forgive me for giving away the ending when I tell you that Manny and Ellie end up together. I overheard some kids leaving the theater discussing the possibility of an ?Ice Age 3? in a year or two. My guess is that it?s inevitable, and it?ll be the one that really melts my glacier because Manny and Ellie will have a child and this franchise will go the way of Disney animation, all cutesy and baby-talk. I like the fact that the characters in the first two Ice Ages have all been adults.Oh, and Scrat, the saber-tooth squirrel is back, doing his best Wile E. Coyote imitation in his Sisyphean struggle with the world?s most elusive acorn. Scrat is essentially soundless, emitting only grunts, gasps, and growls in his pursuit in what appears to be the only acorn BCE. Chuck Jones would have been proud to be Scrat?s papa, which, in a way, he was.

The most interesting Screenshots for the “Reality Bites” movie:

Designed to have an underlying commentary about what it’s like to be 20-something in the mid-1990s, Reality Bites does contain a few insights, but not nearly enough to be able to lay its claim as a defining film for its generation.   I suppose it says a lot about the film when it is better known as the debut directorial stint for Ben Stiller (The Cable Guy, Zoolander), and it is more popular among its target audience for its soundtrack.  Still, despite the lack of true profundity that Helen Childress is able to evoke in her first (and so far last) screenplay to be made into a feature film, as a standard dramedy, it’s funny, insightful, and interesting enough in spells to make it a worthwhile experience for most, especially for those that are experiencing stagnation at the crossroads in their lives.

Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Little Women) stars as Houstonite Lelaina Pierce, a struggling television assistant that has aspirations of an astute documentarian for her disenfranchised generation, constantly filming her life and that of her friends, trying to edit the moments down into something of substance to sell in its purest form.  Pressures begin to weigh in on her shortly after graduating from college, stuck in a joyless job, with a roommate (Garofalo, Romy and Michele) that has an ever-increasing set of emotional baggage, and a misanthropic new addition to the apartment in the form of Troy (Hawke, Mystery Date), the guy with the 180 IQ and little success to really show for it. 

For a film which features the word "irony" so prominently, it’s suitably ironic that Reality Bites features a documentary given the commercial television treatment, as the movie as a whole has an underlying compelling story that feels like it has been drained of all uniqueness by the corporate interests handling the film.  Lots of product placement, hits to hock the soundtrack, and homogenized scenes of characters looking like they are on the verge of making important statements about life, love, and the pain of everyday existence in this culture that doesn’t seem to appreciate them.  Somewhere amidst the glossy Hollywood presentation, the real story of four very confused and lonely people cries out to emerge, and we’re only given momentary glimpses before they are all boxed up and packaged like a Pizza Hut advertisement, quite literally if you see the film.

While Reality Bites does manage to be entertaining while it plays, there is a disappointing quality to it, as it is so clearly a movie that was created to be much more resonant to its lost generation than it ever manages to be.  Nevertheless, there are some funny bits, and strong performances all around, but the overriding sense of self-importance does manage to make it feel a bit smarmy and needlessly haughty.  Reality Bites is the third of three notable films to come out in the early 1990s about the troubles of the X generation, coming after Slacker and Singles.  While those films have their share of problems, at least they didn’t feel as much like a commercialized studio project to exploit the very generation that feels disenfranchised enough already by corporate manipulation.

Boogeyman (2005) / Horror-Thriller

MPAA Rated: PG-13 for disturbing images, violence, and some partial nudity (I’d rate it R) Running Time: 86 min. Cast: Barry Watson, Emily Deschanel, Sky McCole Bartusiak, Lucy Lawless, Tony Mussett, Robyn Malcolm Director: Stephen Kay Screenplay: Eric Kripke, Juliet Snowden, Stiles White

 

Watching Boogeyman gives me the same sensation as receiving the popular gag e-mail telling me to turn up my speakers and stare at a seemingly innocuous picture for 60 seconds, only to jump back startled when a disturbingly scary or gory picture flashes on screen for a second, accompanied by a loud, frightening shriek. Usually these sorts of e-mails are sent around the workplace by people with nothing better to do that to content themselves with listening for the various screams of shock or surprise coming from other cubicles, feeling proud that they conned someone else into the same embarrassing scare that they themselves were subjected to. The only difference between that e-mail and this motion picture is that Boogeyman insists on making you re-watch the same gag, over and over and over again. Once you?ve been jolted by it once or twice, you come to expect it, and the anticipation and knowledge diffuses all future thrills, until all that we can hope for is that what falls in between the frightening moments serves to entertain us enough to not care about the redundancy. Unfortunately for us, Boogeyman is all about the scare and nothing else, making this one of the most mind-numbingly boring and idiotic horror films of all time. Writing a plot summary is perhaps the most difficult part of the review, because by all appearances, the film runs its course without having one. Barry Watson (Sorority Boys, When Strangers Appear) is the star, playing Tim, who as a boy experienced the scare of his life when he watched his father brutally attacked and killed by an unknown entity that resided in his closet ? the boogeyman of his nightmarish fantasies (or so his dead daddy had thought). Now an adult, Tim is still suffering from the same fears, seeing those around him succumb to the horror of this boogeyman, which seems to be following Tim around for reasons unknown. First, let me get something off my chest, because it I have this aching need to vent, or I won?t have a moment?s peace. Boogeyman is perhaps the most vile, putrid, repugnant, loathsome, contemptible, and paltry excuse for a movie I have seen in many a year ? a film so abhorrently bad, I wanted to immediately expunge all memory of having viewed it, even if this meant smashing my head with a hammer until it left me a mindless, drooling idiot (Ironically, this move would place me firmly in the camp of this film?s target audience). There isn?t an ounce of logic to be found anywhere, or even an attempt at a cohesive story. As ?directed? by Stephen Kay (Get Carter), Boogeyman is only a series of monotonously long scenes of a young man looking at open closet doors, dark corners and under beds, interspersed with senseless booga-booga scenes full of loud noises and jump cuts of terrifying images. That is it! That?s the whole movie in a nutshell! Did it really take three people to come up with a script this anemic?! Sam Raimi?s production company, Ghost House, is responsible, but it seems from the disastrous results that Sam must have been a ?ghost? himself during the filmmaking process. They say that great movies are those that leave you feeling something long after they are over, but after viewing this repellent celluloid excretion, I was left with something altogether different ? a nearly incurable headache and a feeling of nausea that lay in the pit of my stomach like an iron brick. Just as Jaws made us afraid to go in the water, Boogeyman made me afraid of dark places, all right ? specifically, the darkened theaters where this stenchfest is showing. Hopefully, this review scares you just enough so that you never have to find out for yourself.

Robots (2005) / Animation-Comedy

MPAA Rated: PG for some crude humor Running Time: 91 min. Cast (voices): Ewan McGregor, Robin Williams, Greg Kinnear, Mel Brooks, Stanley Tucci, Jim Broadbent, Stephen Tobolowsky, Jennifer Coolidge, Halle Berry, Dianne Wiest, Paul Giamatti, Natasha Lyonne, Amanda Bynes, Drew Carey, Harland Williams, Al Roker, Brian McFadden, Jay Leno, James Earl Jones, Dan Hedaya, Terry Bradshaw Director: Chris Wedge, Carlos Saldanha Screenplay: Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel

 

Robots feels like an amalgam of every 3D animated feature I?ve seen in the past eight years, and in particular, one of the first to ever come out, Antz.  This one strictly adheres to Antz? formula, where we have a sympathetic hero trying to do what?s right, some power hungry bad guys that are trying to change the order of things for their own devices, a slew of robot-related puns and quips, non-stop pop culture references, and eccentric characters voiced by famous actors.  Needless to say, if you like Antz, you?ll probably like Robotz — er, I mean Robots.  I?m not really sure about the context behind this world of robots, and unless I was completely zoning out, there is little to no explanation as to why and how such a world exists.  I assume the folks at Fox, who are entering the 3D feature arena for the first time, either never came up with a reason, or quickly jettisoned all explanations, as they might get in the way of what they really want to do – craft an eye-popping adventure for all ages.  The main protagonist is Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan McGregor, Big Fish), who comes from a humble small town of blue-collar robots.  As he enters ?adulthood?, Rodney decides to head out on his own into the big town of Robot City, where he plans on getting a job working for his idol, the great robot inventor known as Bigweld (Mel Brooks, Spaceballs).  It is difficult to adjust to his new setting, as he finds a sort of class warfare between the newer robots and those seen as older models, and it doesn?t help much that the factory Rodney works in is run by Phineas T. Ratchet (Greg Kinnear, Stuck on You), who has halted the selling of replacement parts so that outmoded robots will be weeded out for upgraded models.  Rodney knows that Bigweld would have never stood for such an underhanded practice, so he sets about finding him in order to try to set things right. Too much d?j? vu mars this otherwise gloriously rendered animated feature, although those too young to remember all of the other similar vehicles will probably be totally fixated by the nonstop action, humor, and cutesy characters galore.  More savvy filmgoers will likely find the storyline to be tedious, especially since the plot is ignored about ? of the time so that the makers could concentrate on elaborately designed action pieces, mostly depicting how the robots shuttle around the city. Perhaps with a little more background as to the robot world, Robots might prove easier to connect to for us as viewers.  Since there are no humans in the robot world, the robot desire to do things the way humans would seem very farfetched, as they work, eat, sleep, and even perform bathroom functions (including a wholly misguided flatulence sequence that seems desperate and completely out of place).   What is their field of reference for such activities? I?m giving Robots a minor recommendation for touching all of the bases, albeit at the most scant of levels.  Kids should enjoy it, while many adults may find the visual aspects and constant pop culture references just enough to keep them entertained throughout.  Still, it?s hard not to be a little disappointed, especially after so many of the wonderful 3D animated features produced by Pixar and Dreamworks.  While Toy Story and Finding Nemo will last the test of time, a film like Robots will likely be one of the first of these features to be considered ?outmoded? by future generations.  Like most aging appliances you might find around your own house, Robots might still get the job done, but by current standards, it’s a bit of a clunker.

Almost unrecognizably inspired by a story written by Philip K. Dick, Next takes one very good idea for a new kind of hero and stuffs it into a conventional, and mostly nonsensical thriller.  That good idea is more of a gimmick here: the hero of the film can predict what is going to occur to him up to about two minutes in the future, and can make alterations to what he does that allow him such nifty abilities as escaping apprehension or finding just the right line to say to a woman that will work on her.  He’s already explored all the dead ends in his mind. The man in this case is Cris Johnson (Cage, Ghost Rider), aka Frank Cadillac, who uses his ability to predict the future as part of a two-bit Las Vegas show.  Unfortunately for Cris, his activities have aroused the suspicion of FBI agent Callie Ferris (Moore, Children of Men), who tries unsuccessfully to coerce Cris into helping the government to uncover terrorist activities.  Cris, having been burned by scientific experimentation regarding his abilities as a youth, wants no more of it, but Ferris’ gets much more aggresive, as her latest assignment demands his assistance:  discovering the location of a nuclear weapon set to explode in Los Angeles by a terrorist organization before it wipes out the entire city.   It’s a cat-and-mouse game between Cris and agent Ferris, and caught in the middle is Cris’s new lady friend, Liz (Biel, Home of the Brave), with whom Cris feels a sudden connection that produces a spike in his abilities. The main premise of a man who can use his abilities to see into the very near future is the stuff that would be good given the right narrative context.  For instance, it would make a great television detective series, or even make for a very interesting character to feature in comic book series.  After 40+ years of living, it seems that Cris Johnson hasn’t found much use for his abilities other than to earn a few bucks as a struggling illusionist and underachieving gambler.  Basically, if Cris is going to do anything of substance with his unique abilities, someone is going to have to force him to do it, and by Cris fighting tooth and nail against saving millions of Los Angelinos from certain death, he hardly makes for a sympathetic hero.  In fact, the only reason he begrudgingly consents at all is due to the fact that his new piece of fine-ass tail ends up embroiled in the terrorist plot, and even then, we’re not entirely sure if he cares for her so much as he does her indefinable ability to increase his powers through her presence. Other than the lack of identification with the hero, one of the bigger problems with Next comes through its casting.  All of the lead actors have been excellent in certain kinds of movies, but they also seem ill-suited for their respective roles here.  I’m sure that there must be women out there who find Cage’s unconventional looks and sad-sack demeanor appealing, but his character in Next comes off a bit creepy, with his strange hairstyle and inability not to stare at the object of his desires.  Although the fact that he can seduce Liz because he knows all the right angles makes a certain sense, when he is shown as doing so merely through bad jokes and cheap parlor tricks makes her own character seem rather easy and one-dimensional, even if she does protest his advances at first.  Surely, Biel deserves more than just being an eye-candy plot device.   Also, what’s to make of Julianne Moore’s performance as the tough-as-nails FBI agent?  She spits out orders to her associates using agency lingo as if she has no idea what any of it really means, and her constant state of intensity is a one-note performance that wears thin.  She is one of my favorite actresses, but in this film, I felt she was playing against weaknesses rather than to her strengths, resulting in a strained, underwhelming performance across the board.  I won’t even discuss the bad guys of the film, as they are forgettable throwaway characters with no depth or discernable personalities of their own other than speaking with French accents. Perhaps one shouldn’t blame the actors themselves for not being able to make schlock characters appealling.  Perhaps the unappealing schlock nature of the film is more of a result of the directorial decisions of Lee Tamahori (xXx: State of the Union, Die Another Day), who sees conversations between two people as something that needs to be kept at a bare minimum, merely a set-up for his next shootout or explosive, overblown action scene.  If his action scenes could have been trimmed by half and the characters and their interactions developed twicefold, perhaps we’d have one of the finest sc-fi thrillers of the years, instead of an expensive, pulpy popcorn B-movie movie with big-name actors. It’s sometimes difficult to get a sense of Cris’s abilities since they are so inconsistent.  In one scene, he has fully explored every possible outcome of a conversation within his two-minute span, and yet, he almost ends up drinking a drugged glass of juice despite hearing about the drugs in the juice directly after (it would only take 20 seconds in the future for him to have a full confession).  The ending of the film in particular, which has some sort of reboot that I can’t reveal except to say that it has you question the worth of about half of the movie, seems about the worst gimmick of all, lifting the ironic twist of Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge” for reasons that defy all ability to rationalize, and taking far too long in doing so. “I’ve seen every possible ending, and they all turn out bad for you”, Cris exclaims during one of the film’s climactic moments.  This statement could have just as easily been referring to the movie itself, which spends a great deal of time proverbially painting itself into a corner, and then adding insult to injury by just dodging the whole notion of closure at all.   By this time, you’ll have had your fill of this thriller that sets up strict rules for you to try to follow and then never plays by them itself.  Throughout the film it shows you shocking things and then says, “Just kidding!” and then we play it outwith a more beneficial outcome.  Basically, the movie is built on the fact that it is just a tease.  It’s like hearing some drunk telling you a shaggy-dog story, drawing out his punchline beyond the joke’s worth, and then proceeding to tell you that he messed up the joke and wants to tell it to you again the right way.  Frustrating. If Next is atop a list of movies out there you’ve been wanting to see, my advice is to skip the the next movie on the list. Qwipster’s rating:

Manchurian Candidate, The

During the Korean War of the 1950s, a platoon of American soldiers are snared and taken away for three days, where they are apparently brainwashed with ideas and instructions they have but the vaguest recollection of.  Flash forward to the United States ten years later, where these men have bad dreams about the experience, some of which included the deaths of two of the men at the hands of Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Harvey), acting on orders while under hypnosis.  Shaw, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroic deeds his men were conditioned to think happen, is also the stepson of a prominent Senator (Gregory) who just might be the next Vice-Presidential candidate, and while the surviving men know something happened in Korea that led to Shaw’s murders, they can’t seem to get him to remember.  It seems the Communists still have Shaw under their power, with big plans for something to get their foot in the door of power in the United States, and it’s up to Major Marco (Sinatra, The First Deadly Sin) to find out what nefarious plot is about to happen, and how he can stop it before it’s too late. Mesmerizing and suspenseful, The Manchurian Candidate is a highly sophisticated, and quite controversial film that remains one of the best political thrillers even to this day.  Based on the novel by Richard Condon (Prizzi’s Honor), director John Frankenheimer (Ronin, Reindeer Games) weaves a web of deception so colorful, you won’t know whether to laugh or cringe as the plot unfolds.  Perfectly encapsulating the fear in the country at the time, Candidate is also effective for the premonition of one of the most harrowing incidents to face the country in the following year, the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  It is quite possible that many of the conspiracy theories regarding Oswald’s connections have much to do with this film still fresh in the psyche of many Americans at the time.  The resemblances caused the film to be shelved for nearly 25 years afterward. As serious as the subject matter is, it’s really the black humor that makes The Manchurian Candidate such an admirable thriller.  Although it plays as deadly serious, the odd characters and awkward conversations are often amusing underneath the surface, and the satirical subtexts indicting both Communism and McCarthyism is done with equal finesse and success.  Although decades old, the film nevertheless has a very modern feel to it, far more vibrant and richly textured than many other films to come out around the same time.  Although the political climate has vastly changed since, the subject matter still has a relevancy today, further evidenced by the 2004 remake. A beautifully designed thriller, The Manchurian Candidate has rich thematic imagery, subversive direction, and brilliant performances from everyone in the cast.  Intelligent and lasting, it’s the kind of film that only gets better with each repeated viewing.

– Remade in 2004.

Ask the Dust Reviewed By Peter Sobczynski Posted 03/17/06 16:06:26

"The real love story here is between Towne and L.A." (Worth A Look)

Robert Towne struggled for more than two decades to bring John Fante?s acclaimed novel ?Ask the Dust? to the big screen before he accumulated enough industry goodwill (thanks to his screenplays for various Tom Cruise films, including ?The Firm,? ?Days of Thunder? and the first two ?Mission: Impossible? films), not to mention a couple of reasonably bankable stars, to make his dream a reality. While watching the resulting film, you can acutely feel every bit of that struggle, for good and for ill. On the one hand, Towne falls into the same trap that so many filmmakers have unwittingly entered when they have been given the go-ahead on a long-planned dream project?it feels as if he has lived with it for so long that he no longer has enough distance from it to tell the story in a manner that will be compelling, or even understandable, to those who haven?t dedicated so much of their time to it. On the other hand, while he may have failed to pull the big things off completely, he gets a lot of the little things just right?enough of them to transform what could have been an all-out disaster into a flawed but intriguing work that is still worth checking out despite its imperfections.Set in Depression-era Los Angeles, one a million miles removed from the one Towne looked at in his screenplay for ?Chinatown,? the film stars Colin Farrell as Arturo Bandini, a young Italian man who has journeyed west to achieve his two dreams in life?he wants to be a famous writer and he wants to score with the kind of blue-eyed blonde beauty that for him symbolizes the American dream in all its glory. As the film opens, he hasn?t quite pulled off either one yet?he is still callow and inexperienced when it comes to women and he spends most of his time staring at his typewriter while contemplating how to avoid the incessant eviction notices stuffed under the door (?My landlady has done more writing than I have.?) and deciding what to do with what is literally his last nickel. At a local diner, he meets Mexican waitress Camilla (Salma Hayek) and is immediately struck by her. However, he inexplicably treats her with cruelty and disdain and is shocked to discover that she is more than able to dish out the scorn in more than equal measure. It seems that Camilla is more like him than he could possibly imagine?she too yearns to shed herself of the shame of her ethnic heritage by meeting and marrying the kind of true-blue American type that is Arturo?s opposite. Despite this animosity, there is clearly an attraction between the two but Arturo is seemingly unwilling to sully himself by falling for a common Mexican, even when she looks like Salma Hayek and takes him out for an evening of skinny-dipping. Instead, he finds himself going with the mysterious Vera (Idina Menzel), a woman who professes to love his writing but, more importantly, looks more like the kind of classic American beauty that he thinks he needs to be a real man. However, he still can?t shake his strange attraction to Camilla and when a surprise development puts an end to his relationship to Vera, he writes an anguished letter to H.L. Mencken (heard in voice-over provided by film critic Richard Schickel), the noted writer who has purchased a couple of Arturo?s stories for a magazine that he edits, and the response that he gets inspires him in both his professional and personal life; he learns how to take stock of his life and transform it into art (or at least a book very much like ?Ask the Dust?) while allowing himself to accept Camilla. He succeeds in the former but he allows his prejudices to get the better of him once again, causing Camilla to storm out on him again before the inevitable tragic conclusion. I have not yet read Fante?s book but I am willing to bet on what two elements dominate the story. For starters, I would presume that it gives space to explain Arturo?s character?especially in regards to his self-loathing towards his own ethnicity and how this manifests itself in his treatment of Camilla?so that his cruelty towards someone he is so obviously attracted to makes sense. In addition, I would also speculate that the central narrative arc of the book is dedicated to showing how Arturo learns to shed his juvenile attitudes towards race and class and gradually begins to grow up, both as a man and as an artist. The flaw with Towne?s adaptation is that, in an effort to pare down the story into a two-hour movie, these are the very elements that seem to have fallen by the wayside. It is never made clear from the outset why Arturo acts towards Camilla in the way that he does and we are left with scenes in which our central character is treating this woman in a hurtful and disdainful manner for no explainable reason whatsoever. Later on, his transformation occurs just as suddenly and we are left struggling to understand what brought about the sudden and inexplicable change. Towne is not a dummy by any means?he is one of the smartest screenwriters in the business?and I know that he knows exactly why Arturo behaves the way he does. However, he seems to have forgotten that the vast majority of the audience probably haven?t absorbed the story and characters as he has over the years. By cutting out these details, he leaves us with numerous scenes in which Arturo and Camilla act in ways that are at times frankly unfathomable. Flaws like this would ordinarily be enough to stop most movies in their tracks but ?Ask the Dust? manages to overcome them to a degree by getting a lot of the smaller things right. Over the years, Towne has developed into one of the premier chroniclers of the history of Los Angeles through works such as ?Shampoo,? ?Tequila Sunrise,? ?Chinatown? and ?The Two Jakes? and ?Ask the Dust? deserves a place amongst those titles simply as a work of cultural anthropology. His L.A., a place choked with the ever-present dust bearing down on the boulevards of broken dreams and dreamers where even the most innocent sights have an uneasy edge (at one point, we see a reconciled Arturo and Camilla playing touch football with a group of Japanese kids and ruefully realize that most of those children would be rounded up and put in camps in a few short years simply because of their ethnicity), is less a location than a living, breathing character and it may come as a shock to some to discover that the film, beautifully shot by ace cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, was filmed not in Los Angeles (where the landscape has changed so utterly as to make it impossible to shoot there) but in a meticulous recreation in South Africa. And while the hate-love relationship between Arturo and Camilla is never dramatically convincing, it does allow Towne to indulge in the kind of flinty banter that he has always excelled at and his two leads are more than up to the task. On the surface, the notion of Arturo and Camilla being portrayed by the likes of Colin Farrell and Salma Hayek sounds like Hollywood miscasting at its looniest?the idea of Farrell playing a callow young man inexperienced in the ways of love sounds ridiculous and Hayek is perhaps a little too old and entirely too gorgeous as a poor and downtrodden Latina waitress?but both manage to overcome these hurdles and turn in touching and reasonably effective performances. In addition, Donald Sutherland contributes a strong turn as Arturo?s gone-to-seed neighbor that serves as a strangely affecting homage to his performance in another film based on a notable novel about 1930’s L.A., ?The Day of the Locust? and Idina Menzel makes such a impression in her brief scenes as the mysterious Vera that when she disappears for good, her absence is difficult to get used to for a while.?Ask the Dust? is admittedly kind of a mess but it is the kind of intriguing mess whose virtues more than compensate for its shortcomings. In its best moments, it contains sparks of life and intelligence that generally aren?t found in more conventional and even-keeled films. For those willing to overlook the flaws in order to experience such moments, ?Ask the Dust? should prove to be a perplexing but ultimately rewarding experience.

Reindeer Games *1/2 (out of 5) (2000)

Cast: Ben Affleck, Gary Sinise, Charlize Theron, Clarence Williams III

Directed by John Frankenheimer

As soon as you find out that the movie’s set around Christmas time, and the main characters in the film are named “Rudy” and “Nick”, you know you’re going to be in for a painfully bad time, and if you’re looking for a really bad film to make fun of, REINDEER GAMES definitely delivers.

The ridiculous plot surrounds a car thief (the aforementioned Rudy) just getting out of the joint after six years, who assumes the identity of his recently shanked cellmate (the aforementioned Nick) in order to get some cheap thrills from Nick’s penpal girlfriend, Ashley. Bad stuff happens when Ashley’s brother and his gang of thugs kidnap Rudy in order to get information on how to stage an armed robbery at an Indian casino the real Nick used to work at.

Will the real John Frankenheimer please stand up? For every MANCHURAIN CANDIDATE and RONIN he directs, it seems there’s an ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU or REINDEER GAMES to keep him from making a name for himself. Of course, laying blame on Frankenheimer alone for this infuriating fiasco just can’t be done, because there’s no way one person could have made a movie this bad all on his own.

Yes, blame also should be dealt heavily on screenwriter Ehren Kruger, who also wrote such gems of movie magic as SCREAM 3 and ARLINGTON ROAD. It must be said that his script isn’t always predictable…at times the twists and turns are so far-fetched that you’d have to be either an idiot or genius to conceive of plot points this hard to swallow (and Kruger is no genius).

Then there’s the terrible ensemble of actors, the worst of which is Ben Affleck himself, who in other films has been quite good but here is so uncharismatic and hammy in trying to spin off one-liners to no avail that most viewers will hope Sinise finally does everyone justice by capping his ass from the first smarmy smirk…Cary Grant he’s not…or Lou Grant for that matter.

If REINDEER GAMES succeeds at anything, it’s in actually being worse than the god-awful CHAIN REACTION in the NORTH BY NORTHWEST action clone genre. It starts out by hitting you on the head with a Stupid Stick and wailing away for the duration, and will leave most viewers with a hangover from the sheer idiocy of it all. If you’re still intent on watching this film after all of my warnings, be prepared to ask yourself the toughest of questions: What did you shamefully waste the most after watching REINDEER GAMES…your money or your time?

The most interesting Screenshots for the “I Spy” movie:

I Spy
This is truly a great TV series. it’s funny , it’s very smart , the acting
is excellent. The Way Culp and Cosby play off or each other is marvelous,
you felt that after the cameras stopped rolling they remained the closest
of
friends. The locations (most notably through Asia) are
quite significant for the time as it was unheard of for an
American
tv show to be film in China and parts of the Far East.
Almost every episode included a notable guest star.
Quite a refreshing peace of television. I do remember "Nick at Night" re
running the series void of syndication edits in the late
1980’s
Please don’t judge the series by it’s half hearted , feeble "Return of i
spy" tv movie that aired on CBS I believe a few years back , this in no way
represents the enormous quality of it’s predecessor.
