Example Input: gothic murder - mystery yarns are not a new conceit .
in fact , they 've been around in books and on film for many , many years .
without the proper handling , they come off as old - fashioned , bland , and outdated .
"
the gift , " directed by sam raimi , is a tried - and - true effort that surprises very little , and includes everything from a wide array of suspects and red herrings , to mansions in the deep south with moss trees out front , to the eventual discovery of a waterlogged corpse found in a nearby pond .
it 's fairly obvious who the killer is ;
in fact , i predicted who it would be before the movie began and was correct in my preliminary suspicions .
the film ultimately should n't work , but it does , thanks to a sparkling cast that fills each character with so many memorable nuances , the most fun to be had is in simply watching the people interact with each other
.
annie wilson ( cate blanchett ) is a recently widowed mother of three sons who makes her living giving psychic readings to the residents of her backwater southern hometown .
some of her mainstay clients include valerie barksdale ( hilary swank ) , who is severely abused by her husband donnie ( keanu reeves ) , and buddy cole ( giovanni ribisi ) , an unstable mechanic who is confused by the nightmares he 's been having about a mysterious blue diamond that is somehow linked to his father .
for annie , she does not give the readings merely for money , but uses it as a way of seeking solace in finding the good in everyone 's future .
her late grandmother ( rosemary harris ) told her as a child that it was a gift she was given , and she should always remember that .
when annie 's eldest son is involved in a fight at school , she meets the nice - guy school principal , wayne collins ( greg kinnear ) , whom she finds herself attracted to .
but wayne is engaged to the wealthy jessica king ( katie holmes ) , whom annie immediately gets a negative vibe about .
at a party with her best friend linda ( kim dickens ) , annie stumbles upon jessica in a compromising position with lawyer david duncan ( gary cole ) .
soon after , jessica has disappeared , leaving everyone in a frenzy over what could have possibly happened to her , and annie starts to have nightmares and apparitions linking jessica with the vicious redneck donnie barksdale , and the pond behind his home .
"
the gift " may be cliched on a sheer storytelling level , but the performances and tight direction from raimi ( who has redeemed himself for his embarrassing last film , 1999 's " for love of the game " ) lift the picture up several notches .
slowly enveloping the viewer into the many intriguing characters and their individual plights , the disappearance of jessica at the 30-minute mark divulges the movie 's true intentions and transforms the proceedings into a taut , at times frightening , horror - mystery .
at the center of the film is the exceptional cate blanchett ( 1999 's " the talented mr .
ripley " ) , who turns annie wilson from what could have been little more than a run - of - the - mill protagonist into a very exact , down - to - earth , realistic person with valid troubles and a caring attitude towards those around her .
blanchett takes the unextraordinary material and runs with it , giving the entire film a truly classy aura that it otherwise might not have had .
we follow her at every turn because she is so mesmerizing , both as a character and an actress .
blanchett is n't the only bright performer , as she is ably supported by one of the best casts of the year .
in her first role following her oscar win for 1999 's " boys do n't cry , " hilary swank is excellent as the confused valerie , who seeks guidance from annie , but is too scared to take her biggest advice of all : to leave the grossly abusive donnie .
as donnie , keanu reeves ( 2000 's " the watcher " ) makes an utterly convincing backwoods meanie , so much so that it is difficult to believe he is an actor at all
.
for the often - criticized reeves , whose acting abilities have never been the best , this is the biggest compliment he could possibly get , and it is also one of the better performances he has given .
giovanni ribisi ( 2000 's " the boiler room " ) is heartbreaking as a mentally slow young man who sees annie as his only friend , and wants her to do nothing but help him understand why he is being plagued by bad dreams about his dad .
in the small , but pivotal role of the sleazy jessica king , katie holmes ( 2000 's " wonder boys " ) has turned in yet another stunning supporting turn .
her promiscuous role of jessica is one she has never played before , and
she is radiant in her few scenes .
finally , kim dickens ( 2000 's " hollow man " ) makes her usual strong impression as annie 's spicy best friend , linda .
the other notable aspect of " the gift " is its moody atmosphere that lays such a thickly foreboding air over every scene it 's almost suffocating .
thanks to cleverly construed editing by arthur coburn and bob murawski , and the successful use of different eerie sounds effects and a very good music score by christopher young , the movie not only achieves a scary undercurrent , but one that is filled with dread . helped along by a strong screenplay by billy bob thornton and tom epperson , which makes the most of its setting and delightful cast , " the gift " is
that rarest of thrillers that actually thrills , and offers up a fair share of chills , too .
it may not be groundbreakingly original , but it sure is an entertaining ride for the duration of its running time .
Example Output: P

Example Input: the scene at the end of 1989 's ` dead poets society , ' when robin williams ' english students stand up on their desk and say , ` captain , my captain , ' gets me every time .
unfortunately , the court room scene near the end of robin 's newest film , ` patch adams , ' does n't have anywhere near the same impact .
from the surface ` patch adams ' looks very promising .
it 's a story about a not so young man , patch adams ( robin williams ) , who finds meaning in his life through helping sick people .
when the film opens , we find patch , depressed and suicidal , checking himself into a mental hospital .
in a few scenes , strongly reminiscent of ` one flew over the cuckoo 's nest , ' he ends up helping the patients through their problems ; and it 's here that he finds how much he loves working with people .
so he checks himself out of the hospital , and heads straight to medical school .
right from the start , patch uses comedy to help make the patient more comfortable .
he continuously breaks medical tradition and makes the dean of the school angry .
shortly after joining medical school , he meets and falls in love with carin ( monica potter ) .
they , along with patch 's dork friend , truman ( daniel london ) , start a medical clinic for uninsured people .
once the dean catches wind of the clinic , he tells patch he ca n't graduate and kicks him out of school .
patch , like what any true american would do , takes the school to court .
it 's here where the not so climatic court room battle takes place , over whether or not patch can become a real doctor .
i have never seen a movie with some potential
just completely blow it .
it seems more like a series of short sketches , rather than a full - length movie .
considering it runs almost two hours , much too long for such a light film , it could have flowed much smoother .
not to mention the fact of how serious the film takes itself , and manages to cover all the cliches of bad melodrama .
robin williams saves the film from being abysmal with several comic scenes that elevate the movie to entertaining and worthwhile levels .
but those moments are rare and in the end ` patch adams ' is barely average .

Example Input: as much as i wanted to like this film as i went into it , the more pleased i was when i left .
first , getting through all the usual lines of newspaper glitz : " if you liked scream , you 'll love wild things ! "
" campbell gives a stunning performance ! "
" this twisty plot will have you dazzled for days !
" ( oh yeah , the day a newspaper uses these is
the day neve campbell falls in love with me ) now , onto more serious stuff ( and with this film , i mean that in nearly a sarcastic way ) .
wild things has single - handedly broken down the rules surrounding the r rating from the mpaa .
i 'm not saying that in a bad way , but when you see this film , you may be shocked by what you see .
however , perhaps the mpaa was pleased by the film 's charming cast and tricky plot , that they let the film slide with an r rating .
being mormon , i 'm bound to hear an uproar from religious zealots warning me not to see the film .
trouble is , i have already seen it . and
i like it !
wild things is a film noir of the 90s , filled with 40s sensibilities , and yet breaking the rules and modern - day taboos of 90s culture .
the style in which it is filmed is rich in color .
the actors are all gorgeous people , seemingly drawn from the same gene pool and placed into this film .
sure , it 's all too good to be true , but ai n't it fun to watch ?
when movies like this come along ( sort of a better version of basic instinct ) there is bound to be people who either love it or hate it .
there will be people who do n't want to admit liking what they see , but i tell you , most anyone who sees this will like it .
wild things begins at blue bay high school , the one high school in the world that any teenager would love to get into .
it 's almost as if students are put through entrance exams just for admittance ( totally based on looks alone ) .
of course , there are those select few who may look slightly ugly , but compared to the average person , they are gorgeous .
immediately , the film finds its tone and the audience settles in for an enjoyable time .
we can turn off our brains , right ? wrong .
while you may be expecting one thing to happen , it certainly does n't turn out that way .
the film begins in a classroom , with nearly all the main characters present .
there 's sam lombardo ( matt dillon ) , a counselor for the students .
he 's heading the class discussion .
there 's also kelly van ryan ( denise richards ) , a snobby rich teen who has fallen in love with sam .
teaching the class , however , are two policemen : ray duquette ( kevin bacon ) and gloria perez ( daphne rubin - vega ) , who want to talk about ' sex . . .
( cheers ) crimes ( boos ) ' .
"
what is a sex crime ?
" ray asks .
" not gettin ' any !
" one student responds .
this pretty much sets the tone of the film we are about to watch .
however , upon hearing this , one student , suzie toller ( neve campbell ) , stands up and leaves the room , commenting that they can both kiss part of her body .
and so , wild things sets into motion .
quickly , kelly begins hitting on sam , but sam does n't want anything to do with her advances .
kelly is stubborn and continues to pursue him .
she even pleads with him to let her wash his jeep .
surprisingly , that 's really all i can tell you about the plot .
any more would give away one of the many crucial plot twists .
and what 's more , these plot twists are actually unpredictable .
going along the way of scream , wild things maintains that film 's surprises , and then adds even more to them .
there are more plot twists in this film than probably any i have ever seen .
and even though you think you may get tired of them , the surprises are so genuine that it 's rather pleasing
.
going back over them in my mind , nearly all of them work , though some stretch the boundaries of belief .
thankfully , the convoluted plot does n't give us much time to think about each one , pouncing yet another twist on us before the shock of the previous one has worn off .
as for the critics who complain that the film is trashy -- well , it is .
this is pretty much just one trashy film .
however , it is the kind of trashy that is n't hard to watch .
it 's good trash , in a sense .
one , the screenplay knows that it 's not to be taken seriously , and it includes a lot of humor and satire into the story .
this varies everywhere from kelly 's mother ( theresa russell ) , who is more of a caricature of rich people , all the way to an ambulance - chasing lawyer ( bill murray ) , who wears a neck - brace to cover an insurance scam he is running .
bill murray also provides the best character in the film , and most of the genuine laughs .
and two , the sex is more than gratuitous , although not unwelcomed .
wild things is supposed to have sex in it ( what film with that title would n't ? ) , and this movie breaks the boundaries .
instead of having heterosexual sex scenes , it also includes lesbian scenes between denise richards and neve campbell
( do n't worry . . .
it 's not as graphic as you might think ) .
the heterosexual scenes are quite graphic , but the surprise shocker is kevin bacon 's full - frontal nude scene .
it 's very brief , so if you blink , you may miss ( ahem ) it .
and , for as long as i can remember , i do n't think i have seen an r - rated film show an erect one before ( it 's not completely , but judging from the audiences ' reaction , it was more than they expected too ) .
also , during one scene late in the film , there seemed to be a relationship brewing between bacon and dillon 's characters , but nothing came of it ( makes you wonder if the director had to cut it in order for the r rating , or if the actors refused to do it ) .
what first made me want to see wild things was its cast .
neve campbell , of course , has been one of my favorite actresses since the scream films were released .
here , however , she turns every typical role she has done on its head and plays a gothic pothead .
the closest role to this was her performance in the craft ( though even in that she was a nice girl ) .
campbell is
probably the best in the film and shows her wide range of talent .
you can tell she will be around for a long time .
denise richards will also be around for a long time , although she may be limited to the roles without much range .
here , she gets to express more emotions than in her stiff ( yet effective ) performance in starship troopers .
hopefully one day she will land a very good role that can display her ability .
and then there is daphne rubin - vega , a newcomer to the movies .
she gives a very good performance , although her character is mostly left to the background for the first hour and a half .
towards the end she does get a bigger part .
on the male side , matt dillon is probably the best , giving a subtle performance that surprises with every twist .
kevin bacon has a slightly wooden character , but he makes the most of it .
you must have admiration , though , for what he did on screen .
and judging from many of the women 's reactions in the theater to that shot , they have grown a deeper appreciation for bacon (
yeah , right ) .
and then there is bill murray .
his performance is the comic relief , and he nearly steals the film . as a whole ,
the entire cast works wondrously together , and they seem at home , even when doing the menage a troi .
director john mcnaughton , who has previously done the critically acclaimed henry : portrait of a serial killer , has constructed a wonderfully twisty plot that works .
his direction is smooth and stylish .
the visuals are striking , filled with rich colors , and almost so realistic that we can actually breathe the humidity in the air
.
however , he seems more at home when the actors are n't talking .
his fly - by shots of the swampy areas are brilliant , and his photography of denise richards ' climbing out of the pool is a highlight .
the cinematography is gorgeous in its details .
its not often that you see a film like this , and we should watch it just to see how the camera can take pictures .
then , there is the music .
this was probably the most obvious thing to me , as it set the perfect mood for the film .
it 's hard to describe in words , so just see the film and listen to it .
it 's wonderfully composed and presented .
and be sure to stick around during the closing credits !
mcnaughton has finally put the ending credits to good use ( while most comedies use it for outtakes ) .
he has included some small scenes which help explain the preceding events .
some may say that these are lame attempts to explain the convoluted plot , but it 's an entertaining way to finish the film .
plus , there are some shocking moments in these ending credits which just add to the fun .
wild things is appropriately rated r for strong sexuality , nudity , language and violence .
again , the nudity is rather unnecessary , but let 's face it -- people want to see it .
so why not give it to them ?
neve campbell , admirably , has a no - nudity clause in her contract , and the most you see of her is from behind as she takes her top off ( way to go , neve ! ) .
the sex scenes are graphic , especially the first one we see , between the mother and one of her deck hands .
one almost wonders how they got away with the r rating .
the language is quite harsh too , ranging from sexual innuendo to your average , everyday profanity .
and i ca n't stress it enough : do n't allow kids under 18 to see this film .
the target age for the movie is the 18 - 24 range , and that 's who should see it .
it 's definitely not for those under 18 !
did i mention that this film is rated r ?
however , for those that do get a chance to watch it , you will probably more likely be pleased , and may even take friends to see it the next time .
