Question: everything about this ninth trek movie seems on the cheap , from the roger corman - grade special effects to its highly derivative and ugly ad campaign
( the poster is nearly identical to that of star trek
vi : the undiscovered country ) .
but piller 's not - quite - half - baked screenplay should ultimately claim responsibility for insurrection 's failure .
i 'm about to give the same advice to rick berman and co .
as i 've given to the financiers of james bond movies : it 's time to breathe life into this workhorse by hiring solid genre writers and a real director .
( while we 're at it , put that visor back on laforge ! )
for three hundred years , the ba'ku species ( who look just like humans ) have lived on a ringed - planet that might as well be called the fountain of youth .
six hundred of them occupy the briar patch , the area affected by metaphasic radition , a positive energy that reverses the aging process in the elderly .
but evil ru'afo ( this is probably abraham 's last stop before performing " amadeus " at a dinner theatre near you ) , leader of the son'a ( who look just like burn victims after reconstructive surgery ) , wants to relocate the ba'ku and movie his people onto the briar patch in their place , in order to replenish his dying breed .
the federation is all for this , but picard feels this is a direct violation of the prime directive : to not interfere with the development of an alien race .
( never mind that the ba'ku did n't exactly evolve - they went wandering in the universe one day and stumbled upon the magic world . )
every time frakes gives an interview lately , he seems to top whatever ludicrous statement he last gave regarding this installment .
he has called it a comedy , a thinking man 's picture , a throwback to the old series , and , most grievously , he has likened it to a john ford western .
( i presume that 's some john ford
he went to school with , not the director of the searchers . )
he has also gone on record as saying paramount recut the film from his version .
that 's no excuse -
someone generated this footage .
muddy cinematography and sitcom sets are the least of its problems ; star trek : insurrection appears to have been beamed in from the planet plotholia . consider such curiosities . . .
picard 's love interest , anij ( donna murphy ) , can slow things down by staring at them ( such as a waterfall or falling rocks ) -her scientific explanation for this ?
" do n't ask .
"
worf gets a pimple ( he 's re - experiencing klingon puberty thanks to the time - defying atmosphere ) , laforge regains his eyesight ( trust me , levar burton 's real eyes are scarier than those electronic lenses he wore in first contact ) and troi brags about her firm boobs , but picard remains as bald as an android 's butt .
most suspiciously , what exactly is the problem with letting this endangered race have a little fun in the sun ?
the filmmakers cloud the issue with some nonsense about a family feud of sorts , and they also turn ru'afo into a completely power - mad superfreak , just so the characters will have something to do in the climax .
( and if you 've seen return of the jedi , you 've seen the ending of this movie . ) did n't picard himself previously disobey the prime directive when he prevented the borg from assimilating millions ?
frakes lucked out with first contact , and repeat viewings of that film reveal the seeds of what went wrong in his direction of insurrection :
he has no sense of comic timing , and he mines for acting chemistry where none exists .
( take a look at the painful " troi gets drunk " scene in fc and you 'll get the general idea of insurrection 's unsuccessfully jokey and hollow tone . )
even the worst shatner and co .
treks , like the final frontier , maintained a watchability thanks to the effortless ,
charming comaraderie between kirk , spock , and bones .
neither first contact nor insurrection has any idea what to do with crusher ( gates mcfadden , whom i must say maintains a fabulous physique ) , troi , or laforge .
and all three next generation films spend too much time on data , who is the franchise 's answer to urkel .
need a cheap laugh ?
have data say something sexual , or start singing , or lift up a four hundred pound boulder as if it 's the hunk of styrofoam it really is .
here 's my proposed title for number 10 : data star data trek : data data data data data .
in this movie , data will become preoccupied with learning to blow his nose , while crusher and troi watch silently from 500 yards away and laforge points his sinister gaze at the android in doubly robotic observation .
star trek : insurrection had one nice , eerie , silent moment that hints at a better , darker film .
i 'm not saying all of them should be star trek
ii : the wrath of khan , but this one boldly went where no movie should go again .

Answer: N


Question: plot :
jet li is a chinese cop asked to help some french policemen nab a bad guy .
but one thing leads to another , and the next thing you know
, li 's being chased by the same french cops with whom he was supposed to be working .
a lot of ass - kicking , face - whippings , gun fights
and . . . okay , a little more ass - kicking ensues .
critique : very cool !
now here 's a movie that gives you exactly what you 're looking for
, if what you 're looking for is kickass action , a palpable good cop / bad cop story line , some hardcore stunts and jet li slam - dunking everyone in sight !
the film also moves fast ( a mere 95 minutes ) , develops a certain " cute " chemistry between fonda and li , has nice surroundings
( paris , baby ! )
and gives us one of the best bad guys that i 've seen all year .
tcheky karyo is the devil incarnate in this film .
he is pure evil .
they should have called this movie bad lieutenant 2 as keitel has nothing on this man .
what a great , great monster !
my favorite line of tcheky 's was when li was explaining the whole " kiss of the dragon " thing to him
and he cut him off by saying " kiss my ass !
" pure action movie poetry .
anyway , other than him , jet li also handled his " acting " pretty well in this film , with very little real dialogue to say , but enough to make us believe his character .
actually , just looking into the man 's eyes generally tells you a lot .
fonda was also pretty good , despite playing one of the most trashy and abused women that i have seen in quite some time , but i still felt kinda bad for her
, so i guess she did her job
okay .
but in the end , nobody goes to see this kind of movie for oscar performances .
we go to see jet li movies because we want to see jet li kicking a lot of ass from side to side , and this film delivers gangbusters on that front .
and yes . . .
they have no wire - fu in this movie .
. .
i say again . . .
no wire - work , no bullshit stunts with li floating around in mid - air for over a minute .
it 's all straight action , fist to fist , boot to face and all around cool stunts .
if that 's what you 're looking for ,
i do n't see how you will be disappointed with this film .
yes , it 's not very original in plot ( just take luc besson 's own la femme nikita and mix in plenty of his own the professional et voila ! ) , does have an annoying hip - hoppy soundtrack that just got on my nerves after a while ( i also would have gotten rid of the whole acupuncture thang . . . ) and will have anyone not willing to restrain their disbelief , rolling their eyes all over the place .
but was i entertained ?
thoroughly .
does the film feature more gunplay , martial arts and over - the - top kills that most recent action flicks ?
yes , again .
does this sound interesting to you ?
well , the answer to that question is entirely up to you .
one thing that i would definitely recommend is , as jet li pointed out himself on his website , that you leave the kids at home for this one .
in fact , you might even wanna
leave yourself if you ca n't handle the more violent of sequences .
all in all , a rippin ' , roarin ' fun time !
where 's joblo coming from ?
black mask ( 5/10 )
- blade ( 7/10 ) - la femme nikita
( 8/10 ) - lethal weapon 4 ( 7/10 ) - the matrix ( 8/10 ) -
the professional ( 9/10 ) - romeo must die ( 3/10 ) - rush hour ( 7/10 ) - shanghai noon ( 6/10 )

Question: " quest for camelot " is warner bros . '
first feature - length , fully - animated attempt to steal clout from disney 's cartoon empire , but the mouse has no reason to be worried .
the only other recent challenger to their throne was last fall 's promising , if flawed , 20th century fox production " anastasia , " but disney 's " hercules , " with its lively cast and colorful palate , had her beat hands - down when it came time to crown 1997 's best piece of animation .
this year , it 's no contest , as " quest for camelot " is pretty much dead on arrival .
even the magic kingdom at its most mediocre
-- that 'd be " pocahontas " for those of you keeping score -- is n't nearly as dull as this .
the story revolves around the adventures of free - spirited kayley ( voiced by jessalyn gilsig ) , the early - teen daughter of a belated knight from king arthur 's round table .
kayley 's only dream is to follow in her father 's footsteps , and she gets her chance when evil warlord ruber ( gary oldman ) , an ex - round table member - gone - bad , steals arthur 's magical sword excalibur and accidentally loses it in a dangerous , booby - trapped forest .
with the help of hunky , blind timberland - dweller garrett ( carey elwes ) and a two - headed dragon ( eric idle and don rickles ) that 's always arguing with itself , kayley just might be able to break the medieval sexist mold and prove her worth as a fighter on arthur 's side .
" quest for camelot " is missing pure showmanship , an essential element if it 's ever expected to climb to the high ranks of disney .
there 's nothing here
that differentiates " quest " from something you 'd see on any given saturday morning cartoon -- subpar animation , instantly forgettable songs , poorly - integrated computerized footage .
( compare kayley and garrett 's run -
in with the angry ogre
to herc 's battle with the hydra .
i rest my case . )
even the characters stink -- none of them are remotely interesting , so much that the film becomes a race to see which one can out - bland the others .
in the end , it 's a tie -- they all win .
that dragon 's comedy shtick is awfully cloying , but at least it shows signs of a pulse .
at least fans of the early-'90s tgif television line - up will be thrilled to find jaleel " urkel " white and bronson " balki " pinchot sharing the same footage .
a few scenes are nicely realized ( though i 'm at a loss to recall enough to be specific ) , and the actors providing the voice talent are enthusiastic ( though most are paired up with singers who do n't sound a thing like them for their big musical moments -- jane seymour and celine dion ? ? ? ) .
but one must strain through too much of this mess to find the good . aside from the fact that children will probably be as bored watching this as adults , " quest for camelot
" 's most grievous error is its complete lack of personality .
and personality , we learn from this mess , goes a very long way .
