question:
wonderland is a rather sugary romance film that is as subtle as a ton of bricks falling on you .
you can see its plot developing from a mile away .
you are lured into its benign story of a single 29-year - old girl looking for a soul mate in boston , as that city is depicted as a mini - wonderland for singles .
this is a star oriented film , and the star who carries the film is erin ( hope davis ) .
that this is a dating film , about singles who for reasons of fate or luck , or whatnot , have not had a successful match and are now putting most of their energy into fulfilling their careers , is nothing new , this type of film has been done often and better many times in contemporary films .
the fictionalized documentary unmade beds did it more provocatively and with more of a sense of urgency than this film .
the main quirk in the plot here , is that hope 's pushy mother ( hollan ) visits her in boston , sees her daughter 's live - in relationship with a radical protester ( hoffman ) breakup and decides to put a personal ad in the newspaper for her harvard medical school drop - out daughter , who works as a nurse .
this is done without her knowledge .
it is cornball sitcom stuff
, but , at least , it is handled as best it could be by the actors and director .
it is easy to like erin , she is bright , caring , and attractively blonde .
it is equally easy to care for the soul mate
she keeps missing contact with , the financially strapped , ruggedly handsome , intelligent 35-year - old alan ( alan ) , who no longer wants to work with his father as a plumber but is doing volunteer work at the aquarium and attending college to be a marine biologist .
of course , he comes across as being so good ( though , he does kill some fish in the aquarium ) , that it is hard to believe he 's for real , or just some cardboard shining knight put into the story to give it an ideal to shoot for .
the contrived story revolves around their near misses in meeting each other in such spots as , the subway , at a restaurant , or on the phone .
alan 's brother answers erin 's ad with a few of his pals , as they each try to respond to her ad in a phony way , making a bet that the first who gets to tongue kiss her , that the others witness , will win the bet .
this sub - plot was as obnoxious to see take place as it is to hear told .
that we have to see erin go through several dates to prove the point how ego sick these guys are , each one more annoying than the other , culminating in the most obnoxious one of all , that brazilian lover ( jose ) , who is about as charming as a snake - oil salesman , who is actually the one she nearly flies away with for a holiday in brazil , was not only incredulous but downright contrary to the rich presentation of her character that was the heart of the story .
anyway , as expected , all 's well that ends well , for this watchable piece of fluff
, that comes over on screen better than it does when relating its story - line .
the dialogue was actually not bad , those dating erin or trying to flirt with her seemed to be uttering authentic things they would actually say in their situation .
and , oh , by the way , wonderland refers to the stop on the boston metro
, it is where greyhound racing takes place .

question:
warning : may contain slight mild spoilers .
rated :
r for intense violence / gore , some strong sexuality and language .
starring : arnold schwarzeneggar , robin tunney , rod stieger , gabriel byrne .
running time :
132 minutes we go into a movie theater , boom !
the lights go down , our hearts race , we go through ten minutes of preview and finally the movie we 've been waiting to see for a long time comes on .
we sit there , watch in disbelief that this movie is as bad as it is .
why should n't i have know what i was getting myself into .
again like this past summers hit " stigmata " , " end of days " may be worse .
it 's not like this is any kind of original idea , it just throws in some " rosemary 's baby " , along with " the devil 's advocate " a little " exorcist " and some " stigmata " here and there .
whala you have " end of days " a movie that is extremely disappointing
and by the previews made it look terrific .
sadly but truly again like most recent films , all the good parts are in the trailers .
the plot which is very confusing at times is also very ludicrous and the movie is destined to be a hit in the first weekend , and flop in the next .
jericho cane ( arnold schwarzneggar in hit typical macho role ) is a cop who finds out that he is chosen to track down satan ( living in gabriel byrnes body ) and stop him from impregnating christine york ( robin tunney ) because if he does , and she gives birth all existence as we know it will cease to exist .
he has to do this before it turns into the year 2000 , and strangely he 's trying to fight him 5 minutes before 2000 comes .
he seeks help from the catholic church and help from rod stieger ( in a terrific role ) and tries to save this girl leading to an ending that 's satisfying , but turns into a typical action movie
.
that 's pretty much it on plot .
it does have the razzle and dazzle of a great action movie , and with the 100 m dollar budget parts seem to show it , parts you have to wonder where all the money went .
as for arnie ?
good role ,
ok performance .
i think since he is getting a little older he is held back a lot of his stunts .
the thing that disappointed me was the fact that there was nothing to the film
.
in the trailers it looks like a good scary , action film and ends up being a boring , long and preposterous drama that leads into something else that leaves us with questions .
gabriel byrnes ( who ironically played a priest in " stigmata " ) here plays satan and gives a good performance but again seems held back and not into his character .
two years back al pacino gave a terrific performance in the fun " the devil 's advocate " and here it seems like the idea of him is in the character also .
robin tunney ( great performance as always ) plays satan 's main person whom he wants to impregnate to carry his child .
of course rod stieger gives another great performance which really is n't nothing new .
the direction by peter hyams is at times a bit overblown , though not nearly as the visual style was in " stigmata " .
here we are given great camera work , and some great scenes that are terrifically directed but sadly just do n't work in this movie .
the script written by andrew marlowe has a few witty lines , but again the movie is all style and no substance and by the ending finale climax i was ready to go home .
only a few things work here and those are a few of the performances , the writing and visual style , but the storyline and the finished product do n't work as well .
the sad thing is that " end of days " had so many things going for it .
the plot could have been more organized , the action scenes could have been more brainy and less mind - numbing
.
at times it seems like " armageddon " and started to get old and tiresome .
hollywood is running out of ideas bad , and like i 've always said before needs new ones .
even with its 100 m budget " end of days " is less than pleasing .
in fact the 100 m dollar budget is at least 30 m over , and easily could have had a 70 m budget .
maybe i sound crazy , but i am really looking forward to the new exorcist film , and hope that they make it as good as the original .
we need to get new ideas and stop recycling old ones just to make money at the box - office .
we need to get more films like " the blair witch project " that could scare people to death , while people thinking well what exactly is scaring them and how do i know that it is in fact the blair witch .
overblown effects , stupid and thin plot - line , good performances , disappointing . . . .
umm
yup those pretty much describe " end of days " .

question:
synopsis : as a response to accusations of sexual prejudice in the armed forces
, a female naval intelligence officer is chosen to be a test case .
if she can survive the demanding s.
e.
a. l. training
, she will open the way for other women to be permitted to follow in her footsteps .
throw in a lot of political machinations , sabotage , brutality , water and sand
and you have an entertaining movie .
review :
the title of this movie turned me off at first .
i mean ' gi jane ? ' ? ? ? ? ?
the other titles which were considered were more promising - in pursuit of honor or a matter of honor would have been acceptable although navy cross or undisclosed are a little meaningless as far as i 'm concerned .
i went into this movie not liking the title and being one of those people who thinks that demi moore is absolutely ghastly as an actor .
to my surprise i really enjoyed the movie .
moore as lieutenant jordan o'neil is much more likeable than her washed out excuse for a gusty woman in a few good men .
the storyline is simple .
anne bancroft playing senator lillian dehaven is a ruthless , machiavellian politician with an agenda to push . using feminism to achieve political mileage
, she forces the military powers that be to backdown and permit a test case to enter the highly intensive navy
s.
e.
a. l. training .
jordan is selected due to the fact that she has it all - looks , brains and strength .
the training is gruelling and the indignity almost painful to watch .
nonetheless
, it 's one of those movies that makes me want to cheer out and encourage the hapless hero / heroine along in his / her endeavours .
sure , there are the stereotypical elements - inhuman treatment , sexual innuendo , resentful peers , pained boyfriend and sexist commanding officer . stepping away from the stereotypes though , viggo mortensen as master chief john urgayle tries to get away from being nothing more than a brutal screamer .
his character exercises a little more intellectual rigour than you would normally expect from such a character .
jordan 's boyfriend royce is also in the military .
although they both started at the same time , due to the fact that he has seen active service , he has advanced through the ranks much more quickly than she has .
royce ( what is his surname ?
do we care ? )
almost resents jordan 's attempts to advance herself , although he quickly settles down to being doe - eyed and supportive .
his character seems to have been thrown in so that we know that you do n't have to be a lesbian to want to be in the military .
in parts , this is a very silly movie , with gratuitous lines and scenes thrown in for effect which are so blatantly obvious or contrived that it 's hard not to cringe .
i still liked it though .
weaknesses in the script aside
, this is a film which captures a heroic and reckless mood .
as we watch jordan 's battle , it 's increasingly clear that it is a personal battle .
this is an individual 's fight for self - advancement .
we do n't have to have our teeth set on edge by didactic preachings , we do n't have to feel uncomfortable because we 're having ideology thrust down our throats .
it 's enough that we can sit back and hope that this one person gets what she wants and we can admire her tenacity and determination without coming out and saying whether we believe women should go into combat or not .
