Jane Campion’s astonishingly beautiful new film, “In the Cut,” may be the most maddening and imperfect great movie of the year. Certainly it’s the most difficult to cozy up to with its unnerving fusion of hot sex, icy sentiment and warm-running blood. The movie is being pitched as an erotic thriller, but despite a suspense subplot and the frisson that comes with watching professional cupcake Meg Ryan do the nasty, it plays far closer to an adults-only fairy tale — albeit one in which the happily-ever looks a lot like “Taxi Driver.” Think of it as the ultimate grim fairy tale: the story of a woman who, while wandering the streets of New York and the tangled wilds of her imagination meets not one but several big bad wolves. Hovering around age 40, Frannie (Ryan), a writing teacher and amateur linguist, lives alone in an apartment ornamented with words fixed to the walls. She’s doing a study of contemporary slang and sometimes taps one of her students, Cornelius (Sharrieff Pugh), for the latest in street patois. She evinces a particular interest in sexual and violent colloquialisms, and indeed the film’s title, which is taken from Susanna Moore’s controversial 1995 novel, turns out to be an especially vulgar descriptor for intercourse. ADVERTISEMENT Cornelius is one wolf on the prowl; a homicide detective named Malloy (Mark Ruffalo) is another. Malloy comes knocking on Frannie’s door after an amputated female hand turns up in the teacher’s back yard. A serial killer seems to be running amok in the city, chopping women into mincemeat. Neither surprised nor visibly disturbed by this grisly news (you’d think body parts littered her front door), Frannie agrees to meet Malloy for drinks. But put off by his boorish, epithet-spewing partner, Rodriguez (Nick Damici), she flees the date and runs straight into the arms of a would-be mugger. Eluding her attacker gives her an excuse to contact Malloy, ostensibly for some protective pointers. The detective plays along with this fantasy by roughly putting an arm around Frannie’s neck and whispering dirty nothings in her ear. Has Little Red Riding Hood jumped in bed with the wolf? That question drives “In the Cut,” giving it a hum of nervous tension, but like all of Campion’s features this is a movie that earns its thrills from two people circling each other and casual camera movements that catch moments of startling beauty. The film is filled with surreal, hothouse flourishes that tell the story as vividly and often more eloquently than either the plot mechanics or dialogue. In one scene, Frannie distractedly watches two women playing pool, one in a red dress, the other in green, a visual warning that she doesn’t pick up on. Later, after telling the macabre story of her mother and father’s courtship, she stands next to a blood-red wreath of flowers adorned with a banner reading “Mom.” At once dreamy and watchful, Frannie has the wounded mien of someone who’s endured too many breakups. There’s something disappointed about her but something angry, too. When Frannie and her sister, Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh), lounge around listening to love songs, the explicitness of their desire comes as a shock because it’s so nakedly hurting. “What you need is a baby,” Pauline coos, “and a man,” echoing the words that reverberate through many women’s heads whether they want them to or not. What Frannie really needs is something else, but when she first meets Malloy she looks at him as if he’s stinking up the room. For his part, Ruffalo lets us know the cop doesn’t care. “Tell me what you want me to be,” Malloy tells Frannie, tracing tattoos of longing on her body. Steeped in sexual paranoia and violence, Moore’s novel is a chilly, self-conscious exercise in genre. It’s a cheap shot of a book, but Campion has always enjoyed exploring the darker side of sex and power, so it’s easy to see what attracted her to Frannie’s strange adventure. The director handles the cop stuff effortlessly, nailing the hard precinct vibe and combative banter between Malloy and his partner, but she never satisfyingly integrates the story’s thriller elements with the florid drama inside Frannie’s noggin. The film mainly unfolds from Frannie’s perspective and the images are often blurred around the edges to show just how little of the world she sees. But unlike the wife in Hitchcock’s “Suspicion,” the classic paranoid-woman movie, Frannie is also right to be scared. Campion’s visual language is richer, more expressive than Moore’s prose, and in adapting the book she’s appreciably warmed up the novel’s characters, in particular Pauline, who looks as lush as overripe fruit and just as easy to bruise. Malloy gives off waves of heat, while Frannie’s former lover, wittily played by Kevin Bacon, provides some humorous relief. But because Campion, unlike Moore’s book, is fundamentally hopeful about men and women, there’s something cockeyed about how the film ties up its loose genre threads. It’s nice to see Ryan play a role without the usual ingratiation (there’s always been a sour grimace lurking beneath that smile), but despite her best efforts it’s difficult to accept where Frannie lands. Most of the film’s last 30 minutes veer between the baffling and numbing, but just when you’re ready to throw in the towel, Campion delivers a final grace note. Although Campion isn’t as strongly committed to surrealism as David Lynch, the final image of a slowly closing door in this film affirms that she’s never been entirely in the grip of realism. A fever dream and a pitch-dark romance, “In the Cut” takes place as much in the realm of myth as on the downtown streets of New York; in each, women are either the heroines of their own stories or its victims. If nothing else, the film takes it on faith that the old storybook routines no longer apply, which helps explain why “Taxi Driver” — with its frenzied masculine violence and febrile vision of the city as a landscape of fear and desire — hangs over this movie so heavily. Once upon a time, Travis Bickle saved the girl, but then she grew up. Who saves her now?

Dirty Harry Reviewed By Slyder Posted 09/26/04 06:40:45

"A hard-hitting ass kicker of a film" (Awesome)

Up till the end of the 60’s Clint Eastwood was known as a western hero due to his and Sergio Leone’s Man with No Name Trilogy, and he had flirted a couple of times with different genres with the decent Coogan’s Bluff, the war thriller Kelly’s Heroes and his directorial debut in Play Misty for Me, but it wasn’t until this little film in which Eastwood fully broke out of the Western genre and into full-fledged star. Directed by the legendary Don Siegel, Dirty Harry followed The French Connection’s revolution of the cop thriller genre, while making a mark of its own right imposing one of the most memorable characters ever on screen and spawning countless imitators, notably the Charles Bronson vehicle Death Wish."Dirty” Harry Callahan (Eastwood) is a tough motherfucker cop whose only policy is to shoot first and ask questions later if you want, and get the bad guys regardless of politics. He’s called "Dirty" Harry because in his own words, they always give him the dirty jobs. Recently, a serial killer named Scorpio (Andy Robinson) is on the loose and has kidnapped a teenager in exchange for money, and the Mayor (John Vernon) does not want any blood spilled and tries to meet his demands. But Harry will not take any shit, as he will go after Scorpio by any means necessary and the constitution be damned.There’s really not much to discuss here: The movie’s fucking perfect, as Siegel and cinematographer (and longtime Eastwood collaborator) Bruce Surtees capture the naked lifestyle of the 70’s as well as the now dated driving score of Lalo Schifrin. The film’s structure is simple, but within that simplicity lies a complex and engrossing piece of work that is as effective today as it was back in its heyday. The violence is of course tame by today’s standards but it’s still psychologically effective. Several of the movie’s moves are clichés by today’s standards and have been done and redone to ad-nauseaum, but this film is absolved since it’s the one who pretty much invented those clichés.The heart of the film of course is in the character itself, and Clint Eastwood grabs the role and makes it his own. His screen presence is fearsome and effective even to this day. Sure, today you see action movies with the heroes packing a shitload of guns and involving several explosions and dead bodies, but compared to Dirty Harry, none hold a bag of shit to it. Eastwood’s own quiet yet snarly voice and his .44 Magnum six-shooter is all that it takes, and the action he gives is hard hitting especially since Harry isn’t somebody who shoots for the hell of it and he’s a fucking hell of a good shot. Apart from Eastwood, Andy Robinson as the killer also gives out a memorable performance of his own matching Eastwood pretty much scene by scene. Liberals who watch this film will always fume at this film just the same way they would fume 3 years later with Death Wish due to its fascist right-wing politics but hey, these are the same people that bring us the flawed judicial system which we live in and the one that’s capable of even letting white-collar and blue-collar criminals walk away and sometimes is by its own means incompetent, hence the existence of this film. And there will be cases in which sometimes the ends DO justify the means due to these same flaws and whenever the shit goes too far, sometimes you’ll have to take matters into your own hands. That’s just the nature of the human race, and no law can change that since we’re born with it.In the end, this is one of the best cop movies ever, and whether or not you agree with its ends-justify-the-means politics, it remains a cornerstone in the genre and a definite must see. Watch it by all means… PUNK! 5-5

In the Heat of the Night (1967)

NYT Critics’ Pick
This movie has been designated a Critic’s Pick by the film reviewers of The Times.

August 3, 1967

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

By Bosley Crowther
Published: August 3, 1967

The hot surge of racial hate and prejudice that is so evident and critical now in so many places in this country, not alone in the traditional area of the Deep South, is fictionally isolated in an ugly little Mississippi town in the new film, In the Heat of the Night, which opened at the Capitol and the 86th Street East yesterday.

Here the corrosiveness of prejudice is manifested by a clutch of town police and a few weaseling nabobs and red-necks toward a Negro detective from the North who happens to be picked up as a suspect in a white man’s murder while he is passing through town. But the surge of this evil feeling is also manifested by the Negro himself after he has been cleared of suspicion and ruefully recruited to help solve the crime. And in this juxtaposition of resentments between whites and blacks is vividly and forcefully illustrated one of the awful dilemmas of our times.

But here Norman Jewison has taken a hard, outspoken script, prepared by Stirling Silliphant from an undistinguished novel by John Ball, and, with stinging performances contributed by Rod Steiger as the chief of police and Sidney Poitier as the detective, he has turned it into a film that has the look and sound of actuality and the pounding pulse of truth.

The line of its fascination is not so much its melodramatic plot. It is not in the touch-and-go discovery by the detective of who it was who bumped off that prominent northern industrialist in town to start an integrated mill, or in the gantlet of perils of bodily injury from snarling red-necks that Mr. Poitier constantly runs. Actually, the mystery story is a rather routine and arbitrary one and it is brought to a hasty conclusion in a flurry of coincidences and explanations that leave one confused and unconvinced.

The fascination of it is in the crackling confrontations between the arrogant small town white policeman, with all his layers of ignorance and prejudice, and the sophisticated Negro detective with his steely armor of contempt and mistrust.

It is in the alert and cryptic caution with which these two professional cops face off, the white man arrogant and rueful but respectful of the black man’s evident skill and the latter enraged and disgusted by the other’s insulting attitudes.

And it is in the magnificent manner in which Mr. Steiger and Mr. Poitier act their roles, each giving physical authority and personal depth to the fallible human beings they are.

Fascinating, too, are the natures and details of other characters who swarm and sweat through a crisis in a believable Mississippi town—Warren Oates and Peter Whitney as raw cops, William Schallert and Larry Gates as powerful whites, Scott Wilson as a renegade redneck, and Quentin Dean as a slippery little slut.

The end of it all is not conclusive. It does not imply that the state of prejudice and antagonism in the community is any different from what it was at the start. But it does suggest that a rapport between two totally antagonistic men may be reached in a state of interdependence. And that’s something to be showing so forcefully on the screen.

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (MOVIE)

Directed by Norman Jewison; written by Stirling Silliphant, based on the novel by John Ball; cinematographer, Haskell Wexler; edited by Hal Ashby; music by Quincy Jones; art designer, Paul Groesse; produced by Walter Mirisch; released by United Artists. Running time: 109 minutes.

With: Sidney Poitier (Virgil Tibbs), Rod Steiger (Bill Gillespie), Warren Oates (Sam Wood), Lee Grant (Mrs. Leslie Colbert), James Patterson (Purdy), Quentin Dean (Delores Purdy), and Larry Gates (Eric Endicott).

Three Kings ***1/2 (out of 5) (1999)

Cast: George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube, Nora Dunn, Jamie Kennedy

Directed by David O. Russell

A quartet of American soldiers in the waning days of the Gulf War find a map that leads to a massive stash of Kuwaiti gold held by Saddam Hussein’s forces. Getting the gold proves a cake walk, but Iraqi citizens who counted on the Americans to help in their fight for freedom are left hanging in the wind when the U.S. Forces decide to clear out. This troubles the souls of the quartet who put their fortunes on the line to help the locals.

Highly ambitious comedy-war film, liberally borrowing it’s storyline from KELLY’S HEROES and it’s tone from THE WILD BUNCH. Heavy doses of stylish filmatics and a good deal of unpredictable antics make the film fun, and while the film does tend to make missteps, the compelling and often uneasily funny moments are enough to make one overlook the shortcomings in story, in particularly Nora Dunn and her newscrew serving to annoy on their every appearance. Good performances by the leads, unique filmmaking from Russell, and lots of boldness hold all this chaos together for a satisfying action flick. Audacious, over the top, and an odyssey worth taking.

When he vocalizes in the charming “Music and Lyrics,” Hugh Grant sounds like Davy Jones of the Monkees relocated to the ’80s, somewhere in the vicinity of Wham. Grant plays Alex Fletcher, the second-best-known member of a Reagan-era band called PoP. Fifteen years after the band’s dissolution Alex lives the single life in New York City, writing the occasional song, cashing the odd royalty check and trotting out his retro act for high school reunions and theme park patrons. ADVERTISEMENT While Grant is a long way from playing Knott’s Berry Farm, surely he can relate. The actor with the brittle, slightly tense brand of charisma and narrow but reliably effective comic range has done his thing, gamely, in many romantic comedies less wonderful than the one that made him a star, 1994’s “Four Weddings and a Funeral.” Marc Lawrence wrote and directed one of the OK ones, “Two Weeks Notice,” and he has re-teamed with Grant for “Music and Lyrics.” Lawrence doesn’t over-elaborate or gussy up the story, and his characters don’t spend the film bickering. It’s not as if we expect the moon from a rom-com. Thanks to endurance tests such as “Failure to Launch” and “Because I Said So,” lately it’s achievement enough just to provide your stars with some latitude and a decent comeback or two. Here Grant has an able partner in Drew Barrymore, who plays Sophie Fisher. Substituting for his regular plant lady, she shows up at Alex’s apartment as he’s sweating a deadline to find a lyricist to come up with a hit single commissioned by a Christina Aguilera-type superstar (Haley Bennett). Sooner than you can say “Cole Porter in panties!” — which Alex does say at one point — composer and newfound lyricist are slaving away at the piano. Then sex threatens to upend their newfound partnership. Even when you don’t buy the story details in “Music and Lyrics,” you appreciate that Barrymore and Grant play well together, and that Lawrence lets some of the scenes go on a bit longer, and more interestingly, than most films of this type. “Way Back Into Love,” the song Alex and Sophie write together, recurs throughout “Music and Lyrics,” and it’s too bad it isn’t more than just a pleasantly drippy ballad. Grant does well by the ’80s song stylings, however. Light, sweet and agreeably confident, his voice is like the movie itself. “Music and Lyrics.” MPAA rating: PG-13 for some sexual content. Running time: 1 hour, 36 minutes. In general release.

The Movie:

For the first wave of Blu-Ray releases, Sony’s selections were mainly
action films with a couple of chick-flicks thrown in to placate the wives. 
One of those was the Will Smith vehicle from 2005, Hitch
An amusing film, it has a simple plot that’s funny with endearing characters
while not being too emotional or melodramatic making it acceptible by both
genders.  While the film was a nice choice for Blu-Ray release, the
reproduction wasn’t what I was expecting.  With a soft picture that
has a lot of grain, this isn’t a reference quality disc.

Alex Hitchens (Will Smith) or ‘Hitch‘ for short, has a unique business:
he’s a date doctor.  If you’re a man who has found the woman of your
dreams but can’t get her to notice you, Hitch will take care of it. 
He coaches his clients in the ways of love and women, offering sound advice
that would work in real life too.  (When she’s talking, listen to
what she’s saying and respond.  Be yourself.  Don’t spend the
evening staring at her breasts and imagining what she looks like in the
nude.)

Hitch’s biggest challenge comes in the from of Albert (Kevin James),
an overweight nerdy accountant.  Not only is Albert’s physical appearance
and social skills lacking, but the object of his desire is a famous heiress
Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta).  Think of someone who looks like Norm
from cheers with the warmth of Cliff (from the same show) wanting to date
Paris Hilton.  Hitch is up to the challenge however, and sets out
to do his majic.

Meanwhile Hitch himself has been hit by cupid’s arrow.  Sara (Eva
Mendes) is the gossip columnist for a New York Daily paper who’s famous
around the office for being un-datable.  When she and Hitch meet in
a bar, the date doctor is intrigued and puts his skills to work. 
Thing are going well for both couples until Sara starts digging into how
Allegra Cole ended up dating a guy like Albert, an investigation that will
lead right to her boyfriend.

This was a simple, if ultimately forgettable, film that would be good
for a date.  Will Smith has some funny lines and makes some interesting
observations of both men and women.  No matter what movie Smith appears
in, he’s smooth and this one in no exception.  He has a lot of screen
presence and is quite believable.  You can easily see the handsome
and debonair Smith knowing just what to say and do to get a lady to let
down her guard long enough to be swept off her feet.

The stand-out performer in the show is Kevin James though.  He
steals every scene he’s in as the lovable but socially and physically inept
Albert.  The highlight of the film is when Albert shows Hitch how
well he can dance, hamming it up before the camera without being too over
the top.

The film isn’t deep by any means and it’s pretty predicably.  It
has all of the romantic comedy plot points that by now have become cliched
including Sara having a homosexual man as a good friend, men who are pigs
and just want to sleep with women, and a misunderstanding between the main
characters that breaks up the couple near the end.  Even with these,
it was an enjoyable film that works more often than it doesn’t.

The DVD:


Video:

I have to admit that I was underwhelmed by the image quality of this
disc.  It does look better than the standard definition DVD, but just
by a bit.  I was really hoping for an eye-popping disc that would
make me feel proud to have dropped a large wad of cash on a first generation
player, and that’s not what I got.

The first thing that struck me about the widescreen (2.35 : 1) image
was how soft it appeared.  The lines weren’t as sharp and well defined
as I was hoping.  Small details still blend together like the texture
of Eva Mendes’ hair when she’s talking to Hitch on the walkie-talkie that
he’s sent her.

Another surprising thing was the amount of grain, or possibly digital
noise, that was present in the picture.  Large fields of a solid color,
such as the sky over New York City, weren’t uniformly solid and even, there
was a texture to them caused by the grain.  These large areas would
also move, ever so slightly, which surely wasn’t what the director intended.

On the positive side, some details were easier to discern in this high
definition version of the movie.  A good example of this is the scene
in the conference room where Albert is able to ’shock and awe’ the woman
of his dreams.  There are several closeups of Amber Valletta that
show details of her face, slight freckles and texture, that weren’t noticeable
in the SD DVD.  While this is good, if you freeze on a frame and look
at it carefully, viewers will also notice some slight posterization, where
the colors on her face change in computer generated steps, rather than
a gradual change.

The blacks were deep and solid, which was very nice to see, but sometimes
details were lost in these dark areas.  Will Smith’s hair was often
a single colored shape with no texture or depth to it.  Eva Mendes’s
black jacket seems to merge with her dark blue Beatles shirt in her introductory
scene too.  This was a more minor problem than the others that were
mentioned, but it was disappointing to see none the less..

In all, while this is a very nice looking disc when compared to a standard
DVD, it is not an outstanding example of the possibilities of high definition
video.  The image isn’t as sharp and defined as it could be, there
is posterization in places (probably a result of the MPEG compression that
is being used) and details are sometimes lost in dark areas.  I predict
that years from now this disc will be regarded as only having only average
video quality when compared to other Blu-Ray discs, and that’s how I’m
rating it.

Am I being hard on this disc?  Yes I am.  I wouldn’t have
spent the time and energy critiquing a regular DVD to this extent, and
if it was a SD DVD it would have gotten high marks.  The thing is,
this isn’t a regular DVD.  It’s the next generation of digital video
and as such it should be judged to a higher standard.  It’s obvious
that Sony is still having a bit of trouble mastering discs for their new
system, and that’s not totally unexpected.

Audio:

Like the video quality, the audio is nice and solid, but nothing that’s
significantly better than what’s on the original release.  The disc
comes with a uncompressed PCM audio track, an English DD 5.1 track and
a 5.1 French dub.  The film is dialog based and as such most of the
soundtrack is centered on the screen.  There is some use of the front
soundstage, and occasionally the rears, but there’s not a lot going on
with this mix.  The audio is clean and clear and free from distortion
of other audio defects, and there is good range with the background music
sounding very good.  An appropriate track for a movie of this type,
it won’t impress anyone but it does its job.

Extras:

When the HD formats were first announced, I predicted that these early
titles would have new and exciting bonus material to give people an incentive
to make the jump to a new system.  While I still think it would be
a cheap and easy way to sell some players and discs, apparently Sony doesn’t. 
There aren’t any bonus items on this disc that weren’t on the SD version,
in fact, several featurettes that were on the regular version are omitted
from this Blu-Ray disc.  Thanks a lot Sony.

Another slap in the face to early adopters of this format is the fact
that the extras, all in 4:3 format, are stretched to fill a 16:9 picture. 
I assume that this is the fault of the Samsung BD-P1000 player and not
the DVD, but without another player to compare it with it’s hard to be
certain.

This disc comes with two featurettes, Dance Steps Made Easy,
a behind the scenes look at the filming of the segment where Kevin James
shows Will Smith his dance moves, and Dating Experts,
which talks about the dating themes of the film.  There is also a
four-minute gag reel as well as three trailers.  All of these bonus
items seemed to be taken straight off of the SD version were not in high
definition..

Final Thoughts:

This is a fun, low impact movie that’s great for a date of casual evening
in.  While the Blu-Ray disc does look better than the standard definition
DVD, it’s only marginally better.  Add to that the fact that Sony
left off several bonus items that were included with the original release,
and it makes it hard to recommend upgrading.  If you don’t have a
copy yet, based on the strength of the film and the slight improvement
in video quality, this disc gets a light-hearted recommendation.

SO ’so bad its good’, I may pee"

What higher praise can there be!

This movie was nearly as funny as Speed 2 (we were nearly thrown out of the
cinema for that one - did no-one else know it was a comedy?)

All that was missing here was George Kennedy. Although it did have Carl
Lewis!!

and did anyone else pick up on the irony/symbolism of the kids playing
Twister‘? Fantastic.

Get in some pizza and plenty of alcohol, you won’t have a better evening’s
entertainment!!

Men in Black II
The visual feel of the sets and the equipment within MIIB is discussed
with
the production manager as to how he came up with the feel for the
film.

Of all the many features on the MIIB DVD this was quite interesting
because
it is about the bits of the film that you don’t really see as you watch.
Well, you SEE it but you don’t really take it in. Where Rick Baker’s
aliens
will draw your eye to them, the sets etc will often just have a feel to
them.

This discussed the thought process behind everything from the worm’s
bachelor pad through to even the choice for Agent J’s car. It is
interesting as it is easy to forget how much work goes into making this
stuff and designing it over and over. There isn’t anything earth
shattering
here but it is interesting to see how it all came together.

Whatever else you think about the MIB films, they do have a bit good look
about them and the set design is part of setting the tone for the film as
comic and sort of cool throwback. The only thing that this short lacked
was
a reference back to the comic book - surely this must have had some input
to
the design process and the feel of the film?

It’s bad enough that I had to endure watching excrement like Raging Sharks for 90 minutes — now I have to think about it and talk about my experience too?! 

The only entertainment to be had is in hearing of the plot:  Aliens from outer space collide their spaceships causing debris to land on Earth.  Among the debris are orange colored crystals that must taste yummy to sharks, because they consume tons of it.  This unknown substance makes the sharks ravenous for whatever they can sink their teeth into — boats, planes, pipes, cables, human torsos, and everything else that sticks out in the ocean.  A sub is called in to investigate.  Mayhem ensues.

If I must, I’ll just give you a brief recap of my experience while watching it: Laughed at it a lot, laughed some more, laughed a little less, started thinking about other things, noticed the ceiling fan in the room is spinning counter-clockwise, stared at the wall, suicidal thoughts, stared at the inside of my eyelids, rubbed my eyes and wondered how long I was out for, wondered if I should go back to sleep, suicidal thoughts, looked in amazement at how such a bad movie could possibly get worse, declared this movie to be the worst movie I’ve seen in years, suicidal thoughts, finished watching the remaining hour, removed toothpicks holding open my eyelids.

It’s direct-to-video, so you know what that usually means: direct-to-wastecan caliber entertainment.  Screenwriter Les Weldon (what a punny name — I can’t imagine anything "Les Weldon" than this!)  and director Danny Lerner must have watched James Cameron’s The Abyss and thought that what the world needs is to see it re-done with poor dialogue, cheap sets, horrendously bad acting, and Corbin Bernsen.  I’m assuming copious amounts of illegally obtained substances were also consumed, as there is no way a straight, sober, non-schizo person could have made a movie this bad intentionally. 

Awful accents, stomach-churning special effects, strange sound effects (do sharks really sound like wild bears?), music that sounds like someone playing the theme to The Rock on a Casio keyboard, flagrant shots of stock military footage, repetitive clips of real sharks close-up, slowed-down action, sped-up action, nonsensical plot developments.  I’d elaborate more, but that would have meant I would have to pay attention to this pile of dung, which might have left me unable to function as a fully coherent human being for the rest of my life. 

Long before the end of the film, you’ll pray that the ravenous, raging sharks won’t stop until they eat every piece of the set, including all of the cast and crew.  For staunch movie masochists only!

The Movie: Goodbye Lover stars Patricia Arquette as a manipulative seductress after some life insurance with her various lovers. This film wasn’t as bad as many of the reviews I’ve read have passed it off as, but it wasn’t a good movie either. The problem with this movie is that the whole cast except for two people are completely oblivious to what is going on around them. With all of the characters acting like complete idiots, it’s easy to get away with murder. Ellen Degeneres is simply perfect in her role as a cynical police officer who doesn’t believe any of the stories that are being passed around. The cinematography is also superb in this film. The brilliant use of mirrors throughout the film add to the seductive nature of the characters (esp. Arquette).

The Picture: The picture was very good. It was crisp and especially clear during the darker scenes (and this movie has plenty of them). The picture was also great at providing high contrast between the white in Arquette’s dresses and her extremely blonde hair. The picture was also very clear when dealing with reflections from the many mirrors utilized throughout the movie.

The Sound: The sound didn’t stand out very much with this film, which is both bad and good. The fact that I didn’t notice any defaults or errors is good, but the fact that nothing caught my attention isn’t. Overall, very midiocre sound with really no exceptional or degrading qualities.

The Extras: Extras? You’d think by now Warner Bros. would learn that we like to see extras on a disc. Most likely, a Special Edition will come out and Warner is just milking us for a few extra bucks. I’d love a commentary by Arquette and director Roland Joffé. Absent from this DVD is every extra but the trailer and production notes which are just a series of screens with a few notes on each.

Conclusion: While most people didn’t really enjoy this film, I found many parts of it to be intriguing along with the many twists and turns it takes. The two lead female characters are both exceptional - Arquette and Degeneres, and I usually don’t like Ellen in many roles. She is great at playing the cynical bitch and turns in a great performance. The DVD lacks extras, but delivers a both Anamorphic Widescreen and Pan & Scan versions on opposite sides. Not quite enough to justify the $25 MSRP, but still a good disc nonetheless.
