Q: what do you get when you rip - off good movies like woody allen 's bananas and martin scorsese 's after hours ?
you 'd think you 'd get the best of both films .
instead you get woo .
falling in somewhere between def jam 's how to be a player ( which was awful ) and booty call ( which was ok ) , woo is yet another in the embarassing genre of showing african - americans to be nothing more than sexual buffoons .
the whole film plays out as a black version of after hours , as wild woman woo ( jada pinkett smith ) goes out on a blind date with straight - laced tim ( tommy davidson ) .
mayhem follows them .
for some unknown reason ( read :
contrived screenplay ) davidson puts up with all of woo 's antics for the entire night , which include her destroying his bathroom mirror , stealing things from his house , violently questioning him ( accusing and belittling him actually ) about previous girlfriends , causing a riot in an elegant restaurant , and other various infuriating things that any normal person would n't tolerate .
but for the sake of this bad movie ?
sure , why not ?
there are a few chuckles in the film , the best being the scene swiped directly from bananas .
in this case , davidson is running from thugs , gets into a subway car as the doors are closing , starts to taunt the thugs , then the doors open back up again .
a good joke , but a stolen one .
another chuckle is provided by billy dee williams ' cameo as himself .
movies like woo are seemingly released every three months or so , and not one of them has ever been a hit .
woo wo n't be one either .
so
why was it made ?
and more importantly , is n't there anyone else besides me who thinks these films are offensive ?
everyone involved should really reconsider their careers at this point .

Q: wyatt earp has a lot to tell and little to say .
this story of the legendary lawman runs three hours and nine minutes and that 's too long for this epic - wannabe that plays more like a tv mini - series than a movie .
the story opens on the earp family farm , with young wyatt ready to run away from home .
he wants to fight in the civil war , but his dad ( hackman ) has different ideas and wants his son to study law .
time passes and wyatt heads west , returns home to marry , and , after a spell , begins his career in law enforcement .
by the time he ( costner ) and his brothers ( madsen , david andrews , and linden ashby ) arrive in tombstone , wyatt has tried his hand at everything from hunting buffalo to dealing cards .
wyatt earp is very appealing in places-- such as cast , costumes , and cinematography-- but an overstated story and overpowered score deaden most of the emotional impact .
who can be moved by scene after scene after scene of swelling strings and suffocating speeches ?
somber is
fine-- just ask clint eastwood-- but
this film that boasts not one , not two , but three , count 'em three , hammy death scenes !
still , a little bit of earp goes a long way and the life and times of the legendary lawman are from uninteresting stuff .
his , uh , unusual relations with women , for example , are an intriguing contrast to his character 's credo of
" nothing counts as much as blood .
" equally amusing is a buffalo - hunting ( and skinning ! )
sequence that is decidedly non - pc .
director lawrence kasdan takes a refreshingly realistic approach to the gunplay .
the infamous gunfight at the ok corral is both brutal and brief , devoid of almost any theatrics .
do n't look for much glorified violence here .
despite some large exclamation points in the story , the characters * do * come to life .
the diverse cast includes everyone from betty buckley ( ! ) to mackenzie astin ( ! ! ) .
kevin costner is very good in the title role .
dances with whitney nevers get as steely as the role requires , though , but his transformation from lighthearted law student to stoic sheriff is fun to watch .
he was tougher in a perfect world .
his foil is dennis quaid , who pulled a deniro by losing 40 + pounds to play the tubercular terror doc holliday .
gaunt * and * gamely ,
he 's a scene stealer who 's seen too little .
other familiar faces include tom sizemore ( looking like bruce mcgill ) , bill pullman ( looking like jeff daniels ) , and lea thompson ( looking like someone other than lea thompson ) .
both gene hackman and isabella rosselini appear and disappear like magic , while late entries catherine o'hara and jobeth williams are surprisingly solid .
though the story and score should 've tried " less is more , " all other credits are technical tops .
production designer ida random , art director gary wissner , and costume designer colleen atwood are some of the vips who helped spend what must 've been an enormous budget .
clearly no expense was spared .

Q: as a hot - shot defense attorney , kevin lomax ( keanu reeves ) has a special talent for picking juries that will ultimately acquit his clients .
he is also an excellent judge of character , knowing just which strings to pull to sway the jury while breaking down a potentially damaging witness 's testimony .
and , on top of that , he 's a damn good trial lawyer .
in the opening scene , it is obvious that the defendant that he represents is guilty , but it does n't hamper lomax 's desire to creatively squeeze his client through the doors of reasonable doubt , thereby getting an acquittal .
his unblemished record of victories soon captures the attention of one of the most prestigious firms in the country , headed by john milton ( al pacino ) .
he is brought to their headquarters in nyc , where he immediately impresses milton , and is subsequently offered a full - time position as head of their newly - created criminal law division .
lomax is soon given the case of his life .
he must defend a real estate tycoon who has been charged with a triple homicide .
the draw of fame and his desire to prove just how good he really is begins to isolate him in his own hell .
he works late , defends the guilty , pledges his soul to his firm , and begins to neglect his smart but fretful wife , mary ann ( charlize theron ) .
but what starts off as a promising john grisham - like story about conscience - stricken lawyers takes an abrupt detour as supernatural forces begin to tinker with the story .
it begins like a typical parable where a small - town boy makes it big , but then has to balance his sense of self against the allure of money , power , and greed .
but milton is far more than just a corrupt partner of the firm .
quite literally , he is the devil in disguise , and as the movie progresses , he reveals some uncanny talents that one could have only if he had sold his soul long ago .
freaky and frightening things begin to happen , and after much of the film has elasped , milton 's horrifying intent is finally revealed .
the movie tries to give us two separate and distinct acts .
the first involves the comeuppance of lomax as a big - city trial lawyer .
the second focuses on milton and his ulterior motive for employing lomax .
unfortunately , the two never mix well into a cohesive story , and what we get are two underdeveloped stories that rely too much on one shaky revelation to tie them together and an impressive production piece to give it an underlying atmosphere .
granted , the film is very handsome - looking .
you 'll enjoy the final scene where the wall mural seemingly comes to life during a heated speech given by pacino .
you 'll also like the images of power and temptation expressed through the fleshy and flashy parties .
you 'll also feel the loneliness and insanity that sets in with mary ann , knowing that her husband is slowly drifting away .
this was one of the better storylines , but unfortunately
, is only a sub - plot .
as with all thing 's involving the devil , you can expect nothing but the worst .
in the first few scenes , reeves anchors the film , but then slowly drifts into the background .
his path from self - vanity to self - consciousness is never fully explored .
his actions seem arbitrary , and his reasons for them not fully known .
pacino 's comical portrayal is spirited , but the vanity of his character begins to shift the focus of the movie .
there is another plot or two that is introduced , but never gets revisited .
the focus seemed inconsistent throughout , and the final payoff seemed quick and cheap .
this movie tries to be horrifying , thrilling , and dramatic all at the same time .
however , while the devil 's advocate strives to get noticed , ultimately it makes very little impression at all .
