"
some houses are born bad , " goes the haunting 's tag line , to which i must add , " some movies , too .
"
nothing short of hiring a new cast , a more literate screenwriter , and a new director could have saved this tragically misguided adaptation of jackson 's meritorious novel .
the haunting is late entry summer dreck too slick to be creepy , and its seemingly endless stream of digital trickery and spooky ooky sound effects do n't frighten so much as numb the audience into submission
- the film is like a rube goldberg contraption rigged to shout " boo .
" fragile nell ( taylor ) , bisexual theo ( zeta - jones ) , and smiley luke ( wilson ) are three insomniacs who gather at the reputedly possessed hill house for an extended study on sleep disorders , hosted by professor marrow ( neeson ) .
marrow 's secretly gathering data on their respective paranoid responses to his recount of hill house 's bleak history .
he 's not prepared for the very real apparitions that terrorize the crew , nell especially , who has some ancestral connection to the manor 's previous inhabitants .
taylor is thoroughly insufferable in her first big - budget lead .
for starters , her consistently dour expression sucks the life out of even the early scenes , when we 're introduced to the mansion and all its fun - house trappings .
her character is supposed to be depressed , having tended to an unloving mother for too many years , but taylor plays nell as supernaturally lame , alternately grouchy , mopey , wiggy and pathetic , and i kept wondering why the other characters did n't just ditch this bitch
.
as for the obscenely photogenic zeta - jones , she breezes through her scenes with a wink and a smile and takes the scenery with her .
unfortunately , she 's saddled with some of the most unlikely dialogue the screenplay has to offer .
theo 's assessment of the house ?
"
i love it !
sort of charles foster kane meets the munsters .
" who on earth would say that in place of " citizen kane meets the munsters " ?
( furthermore , would you gladly spend a single night in a house befitting that description ? )
both actresses fare better than neeson , who looks embarrassed to be a part of this ensemble ( and for good reason ) , and his character is the most bland .
as luke puts it , dr .
marrow pulls the old " academic bait and switch " on his subjects , but he breaks down and confesses to this the second he 's accused .
later , he risks his life by climbing a crumbling stairwell to save nell ( it 's amusing to hear neeson shout " nell " repeatedly , given his starring role in the 1994 jodie foster vehicle of the same name ) .
why was this nice , helpful , and redemptive researcher so absent of ethics at the start ?
the haunting was well designed by eugenio zanetti .
his sets are obsessively detailed , and even before the cgi kicks in , they seem alive , never quite still .
i do have one beef with this aspect of the production :
the real life mansion used in exterior shots , nottinghamshire 's harlaxton manor , is so vast that one has trouble believing that nell and company , no matter how much running away they do from ghosts and goblins , always finish up in locations that were established in act one , as if all the action has been confined to one wing of hill house .
eighty million dollars was spent on the haunting , and despite a powerhouse box office debut ,
i doubt it will recoup its costs ( including marketing ) domestically .
thank jan de bont for that : proving for the third time that speed was a fluke , in that it was actually enjoyable , de bont has served up another ride , sans thrill .
his images , well - lit though they are , have an unmistakable been there - done that quality
; in fact , whole sequences , not to mention the cloaked , airy ghoul who owns the climax , feel lifted from a much smarter and infinitely more enjoyable spectacle from three summers back , peter jackson 's the frighteners .
i do n't mean to suggest de bont is a plagiarist , i mean to suggest that he 's a hack , having found no new ways to give us chills .

steve martin is one of the funniest men alive . if you can take that as a true statement , then your disappointment at this film will equal mine .
martin can be hilarious , creating some of the best laugh - out - loud experiences that have ever taken place in movie theaters .
you wo n't find any of them here .
the old television series that this is based on has its moments of humor and wit .
bilko ( and the name is n't an accident ) is the head of an army motor pool group , but his passion is his schemes .
every episode involves the sergeant and his men in one or another hair - brained plan to get rich quick while outwitting the officers of the base .
" mchale 's navy " 's granddaddy .
that 's the idea behind this movie too , but the difference is that , as far - fetched and usually goofy as the television series was , it was funny .
there is not one laugh in the film .
the re - make retains the goofiness , but not the entertainment .
everything is just too clean .
it was obviously made on a hollywood back lot and looks every bit like it .
it all looks brand new , even the old beat - up stuff .
martin is remarkably small in what should have been a bigger than life role .
in the original , phil silvers played the huckster with a heart of gold and more than a touch of sleaziness .
martin 's bilko is a pale imitation .
the only semi - bright spot is phil hartman as bilko 's arch - enemy .
it 's not saying much , considering martin 's lackluster character , but hartman leaves him in the dust .

in my reviews i try to make gentle recommendations rather than telling you what to see or what not to see .
i realize that we all have different tastes and i can not predict what my audience will like and what they will dislike .
but in the case of american beauty , i must make an exception . if you have n't yet seen it , go see it .
now .
stop reading this review and head for your local multiplex , then after you 've seen it , come back .
i 'll wait here .
welcome back .
if you followed my advice ( and i see no reason why you should not have , do you ? )
, i 'm sure you 've just had one of the richest cinematic experiences of your life .
american beauty is an extraordinary film , a powerful , jolting exploration of the dark side of the american dream .
it 's humorous but it is n't funny because of the unrelenting ominous undercurrent that runs throughout the whole production .
mixing comedy and the darkest of drama was the way this film was intended , and by god , it works , making it one of the year 's very best .
lester burnham ( kevin spacey ) has entered the mother of all mid - life crises .
he is living life without a purpose .
he is bored , depressed and sick of his sheltered , insignificant existence .
he barely ever talks to his family , has no sex life , is stuck at a dead - end job and thinks he has no reason to live .
but one day , when he and his equally troubled wife ( annette bening ) attend one of his daughter 's ( thora birch ) cheerleading performances , he sees something that makes him come alive .
what he sees is the performance by his daughter 's friend , the head cheerleader .
he develops a lust for the promiscuous young girl ; an obsession which soon becomes pedophilic in nature .
but for the first time , lester feels that he is actually living .
this crush is only the beginning .
lester proceeds to make more and more radical changes in his life , buying the car of his dreams , cursing off the boss and quitting his job
( " today i quit my job , told the boss to
f * * * himself and blackmailed him for $ 60 , 000 -- would you pass the asparagus please ? " ) , buying drugs from the voyeur - next - door ( ricky fitts , a teenager who mysteriously videotapes what he considers to be " beauty " ) and refusing to be docile in family affairs .
his new attitude further alienates his daughter , only reassuring her that her parents are nothing more than freaks of nature unjustly forced on her by the powers that be , and inspiring her to enter a relationship with her eccentric neighbor .
and the burnhams 's neighbors provide american beauty with a significant chunk of its dramatic momentum .
ricky fitts ( wes bentley ) serves as the film 's thematic center , providing the obscure , powerful meaning of the title .
colonel fitts , the father , is one of the most fascinating and complex characters in the movie , even considering his limited screentime .
kevin spacey has never been better , and this performance will certainly earn him a chance to put a little gold person on his mantel .
he never plays his droll character as a freak , rather
, he effectively portrays him as a normal person led to drastic self - exploration by his dissatisfaction with life .
spacey is poignant and devastating in the role of a lifetime .
equally astonishing is young thora birch , who plays her potentially stereotypical rebellious teen character with suprising feeling and tenderness .
at two hours and ten minutes , american beauty did n't feel nearly long enough .
it 's a complicated , unforgettable film that , like the ice storm two years ago , dares to explore the darkest reaches of suburban life .
powerfully and cynically , it dissects the notion of the pretty house with the white picket fence and appealing garden being the american dream .
it claims that this picture - perfect image is just that -- an image , and hiding behind it are lives much darker than common knowledge would have it .
the dark , deeply ironic ending , though given away by our narrator in the first few minutes of the movie , stays with you for weeks after it 's all over .
american beauty is just the kind of uncompromising film hollywood needs every now and then to counterbalance the mindless drivel we see released ; even more so considering it 's a masterpiece
.
