[EX Q]: after the simple looking little spacecraft lands in a automobile wrecking yard , out steps a steel - gray , human - like creature with aquamarine eyes and clad in a muscular suit .
spencer , the boy who observes this , having seen his fill of science fiction flicks , figures this thing must be a robot from outer space .
with the exception of disney and a few others , most studios view children 's films as a way to ship a cheap and unimaginative product and thereby make a quick profit .
star kid stands out as that rare kids ' film that is undoubtedly low - budget but is also highly imaginative .
remember , the robot ?
it was n't one at all but rather a " phase one assault cyborsuit .
"
the cyborsuit is actually a prototype combat enhancer developed by the trelkins and jettisoned for latter retrieval when they are under attack from the invading broodwarriors .
the significant twist in the story is that spencer gets to go inside the cyborsuit , and the cyborsuit , nicknamed cy , has plenty of spunk .
cy keeps questioning the kid about everything including words like " cool .
" upon hearing that " command , " cy starts rapidly decreasing the temperature in the cyborsuit until spencer screams for him to stop .
and when cy speaks , we see spencer 's view , the backside of cy 's lips and eyes .
as 12-year - old spencer , joseph mazzello from the jurassic park film series gives a remarkably good performance as a wimpy and initially tongue - tied kid .
even when enclosed in his powerful new cyborsuit , he has his fears but he learns to overcome them .
"
if you run away , things do n't get better , whether it 's bullies , spiders , or girls , " his science teacher advises him after he has difficulties dealing with all three .
turbo ( joey simmrin ) , the school 's chubby bully , beats up on him , spiders frighten him , and , most embarrassing of all , he ca n't speak when in the presence of his would - be girlfriend .
with his cyborsuit on , he learns some bravery that transcends his time inside cy .
spencer lives with his dad and his older teenage sister stacey , played by a smart - mouthed ashlee levitch , who looks like a younger sarah jessica parker .
stacey derides her brother , whom she barely tolerates , by referring to him only as " the fungus .
"
this whole setup for spencer 's downtrodden and delightfully funny life makes his acquisition of some superhuman powers a source of mirth and empowerment .
the beauty of mazzello 's performance is that you can vicariously experience his fear and share in his enjoyment when he goes after the bully to teach him a lesson he 'll not soon forget .
the ensuing mayhem has some of the home alone antics , but the slapstick is kept tightly under control by writer and director manny coto so that one never feels embarrassed to be laughing .
the romantic angle is handled ever so delicately . when cy wishes to know if spencer wants to mate with the object of his desire , michelle ( lauren eckstrom ) , his eyes open wide in revulsion .
" mate with her ! " spencer exclaims .
" pllllleeeeease , i just like her
that 's all .
"
the show has many funny twists .
in one , cy sees a man in a barney - like costume and begins firing at him , thinking he is an alien life - form .
soon things get way out of hand , and cy and spencer have to beat a hasty retreat .
as proof positive of the show 's class , it actually contains tasteful bathroom humor
-- thought that was an oxymoron in a kids ' picture , did n't you ?
cy can not allow spencer to leave the cyborsuit , and what happens when he needs to urinate becomes both sweet and hilarious .
the director 's staging of this sequence is one of the film 's more charming moments .
oh , and eating is pretty funny too .
spencer , whose idol is the comic book character " midknight warrior , " gets to face the challenge of a lifetime when a broodwarrior comes to capture the cyborsuit .
spencer 's valiant battle gives him a chance to find his mettle .
and the action sequences in the battle
manage to be quite respectable for a kids ' show full of inventiveness and lacking the usual repetition .
for a family movie mixing humor , fantasy , and action , star kid delivers .
although it 's probably not the sort of movie you 'd want to see without kids , with them
you 'll have a magical time with a relatively straightforward but well developed story
.
you 'll be rooting for and laughing with spencer and his buddy cy all the way through .
star kid runs 1 : 41 .
it is rated pg for fantasy combat .
although the basically cartoonish broodwarrior might scare the littlest kids , i saw none of this in evidence in our packed screening , so i would say the show is fine for kids five and up , and possibly the younger ones .
my son jeffrey , age 8 , got really excited about the picture .
he called it " an especially good movie " and gave it
*
* * * .
when i asked him to tell me his favorite characters , he mentioned almost everyone in it from the boy to the cyborsuit to the bully .

[EX Q]: it has been 20 years since a terrence malick film hit theaters .
his new film , the thin red line , is a strange , beautiful , enigmatic mess of a movie .
the first thing that jumps out to one when they see the advertisements for this film is the huge cast .
it is filled with above - the - title stars .
the cast , for the most part , gives great performances .
john travolta , whose role is nothing more than a cameo , seems not to have attacked his performance with that much verve .
george clooney , whose role became a cameo in editing , gives a strange performance .
one wonders if he knew that his performance would become the object of ridicule through a character 's narration .
the rest of the cast , especially nick nolte and elias koteas , are unambiguously fantastic .
these actors ( and they are , with two exceptions , men ) were lured by the name of malick .
terrence malick is a cinematic legend .
he has often been called " the j .
d .
salinger of cinema .
"
his two previous films , badlands and days of heaven , are spectacularly beautiful and obscure motion pictures .
after he made them , he disappeared for 20 years .
this film marks his return .
what he 's made with the thin red line is a film that seems less concerned with plot than with the emotion of the moment .
the narration which fills the film ( and perplexes many ) not only lets us hear the narrators ( the characters themselves ) pontificate , but also lets us hear such of - the - moment thoughts as " i 'm scared .
"
the rather simple plot of the thin red line is used as a canvas on which many stories are painted .
the plot couldly simply be boiled down to an assault on a hill .
a plot synopsis for the thin red line is difficult , because the story is fractured .
many stories are here , from the clash between the lieutenant ( elias koteas ) and the savage colonel ( a voracious nick nolte ) to the private ( ben chaplin ) who uses his love for the woman he left behind to keep him going .
the fracturing of the story is ultimately a fault .
it is as if an artist spent an incredible amount of time artfully sculpting tiny statues and then threw them into a box , shook the box , and poured the results onto a table .
this basically creates a mess , but the stories can be discerned and enjoyed .
i 'm not declaring that the film has no structure .
while saving private ryan used warfare to bookend the plot , malick uses reflection and glorious shots of nature to bookend about 90 minutes of combat .
the battles in the thin red line are astonishing and display a mastery of filmmaking . the astounding cinematography in this film must also be given notice .
this film uses color and light in such a fantastic way , that it will be sad to see it degraded when it has to bee transferred to video .
ultimately , malick has crafted a film that is a movie that enjoys looking through the treetops more than regarding the war that rages below them .
the film is filled with nature photography and the regarding of nature .
while some have said that the anti - war message and pro - nature tubthumping was juvenile , it was done with so much complexity and thought , that it can not ever honestly be called childish .
after seeing the thin red line , i was haunted by it and am quite ready to see it again .

[EX Q]: as the small boats rock slowly toward the shore at omaha beach normandy on d - day , the weary , seasick soldiers take a deep breath and open the large protective shield at the back of the boat .
they are unaware of exactly what is going to happen .
one man kisses the crucifix that hangs around his neck .
as the flap falls , the battle begins .
they are trapped like rats in a cage and proceed to be blown to pieces in the wake of enemy gunfire .
amid the chaos of this massacre , stands a shot that , at least for me , hangs in the air like the girl in the little red coat in schindler 's list .
a soldier , clearly missing an arm , wanders around the body - strewn beach like a lost puppy .
we are not invited to know what he is searching for until he finds it himself .
he bends over , picks up his arm and starts to carry it , probably not bothering to ask himself ; " what now ? " saving private ryan is a masterfully composed film .
the direction is out of this world , surely the type of command that can win spielberg another directing oscar .
the cinematography , by janusz kaminsky , is also astounding .
but be forewarned , this is the most violent and graphic film i have ever seen .
the articles you read and the warnings you see are justified ; saving private ryan is visually as disturbing as a film can get .
the question is , " does the story and its realism justify the excessive use ?
" the answer from my point of view is " no " .
braveheart was a truly gritty , and , one would imagine , realistic battle film .
ryan is ten times worse .
expect disembowelments , sucked in skulls , heads blown to bits , arms and legs flying across the battlefield .
many in the theater could not bear to watch .
and it is a shame , too , because this is otherwise by far one of the standouts this year .
but such graphic displays may turn away even the most loyal spielberg supporters ( and academy members ) . saving private ryan takes us from the attack at omaha beach on d - day , 1944 , through into the film 's primary mission .
captain miller ( hanks ) assembles an 8 man crew and sets off to find a missing solider , private ryan , whose three brothers have already been killed on the battlefield .
the government goes to great lengths to make sure that mrs .
ryan does n't recieve a fourth letter of condolences about her sons , that no person should suffer such injustice .
miller 's crew is not in favor of the mission and they begin to harbor a secret hatred for ryan , though they do n't yet know him .
they resent having to trudge out to bring home one soldier who does n't have any more or less right to live than any of them .
this film manages to keep up a rapid pace and , though there is a lot of set up between battles , the story continues full speed to the end .
the pacing and dramatism of the extremely well choreographed battle scenes is really in a league of it 's own .
spielberg , though not a student of the " quick cut " school of filmmaking , takes a stab at it here , and does it better than michael bay or any of his mtv counterparts could ever hope to do it .
bay should pay close attention , take copious notes .
if you want to jump cut every two seconds , do it the way spielberg does it in ryan .
in the end , the extremity of the gory violence is not justified by the " importance " of the film .
schindler 's list taught many people the truth about the holocaust .
it opened eyes , sparked debate and study .
though the battle scenes in ryan have never been portrayed as realistically before , they do n't amount to anything as serious or thought provoking as the schindler 's list .
overall , this is just the truest depiction of the old adage , " war is hell .
" but braveheart - dosage would have fit this movie much more appropriately , and would have made the difference between me getting up the nerve to see it again some day and realizing that this is something i doubt i could endure again .
masterful work marred only by excessive gore .
