capsule : godawful " comedy
" that 's amazingly shabby and cut - rate , and rather bereft of laughs
.
i was having a bad week in my life when i saw austin powers :
international man of mystery .
i desperately needed something to cheer me up , or at least distract me so i could get a clear head .
get some perspective .
even dumb movies can do that for me , sometimes .
i tried hard not to let my dejection affect my judgment , but i am certain now that austin powers would have also sucked rocks through bamboo shoots on the day i won the lottery .
michael myers has taken a character that would barely have supported a five - minute sketch on saturday night live and stretched it to the length of a feature film , padding it out with toilet jokes and the sort of props - strategically - positioned - between - naked - actors - and - camera gags that benny hill got tired of fifteen years ago .
the plot , what little there is of it : back in the swinging mod hep sixties ( i do n't think i 'm doing a disservice to the movie 's attempted early look and feel by describing it that way ) , sexy british secret agent austin powers tangled with his nemesis dr .
evil .
evil launched himself into orbit and cryogenically forze himself to return decades later , when powers was out of the picture .
powers also had himself frozen , and he wakes up to find the nineties a very hard time to deal with .
the basic gag , that of powers ' total inability to cope with the nineties , is not so much exhausted during the course of the movie as never even really dealt with .
the bulk of the movie is taken up with dumb jokes of several basic rubrics : james bond gags ( of which this movie has no end , right down to the silly character names ) , inept slapstick , toilet humor , and strategically placed props . . .
the movie 's amazingly bereft of ideas , come to think of it , with a couple of bright exceptions .
one is dr .
evil 's son -- there is a sidesplitting scene where father and son go to an encounter group , chaired by carrie fisher -- and the other is a throwaway gag where austin mimics various forms of transportation from behind a couch ( it 's a visual gag -- hard to describe , and hard to recommend seeing the movie for ) .
a lot of sixties kitsch has been resurrected and thrown on the screen for this movie , but it 's desperate rather than clever .
instead of skewering the whole thing , it 's a rather bloodless and unfunny tribute
.
myers himself is also desperate : he 's given an idea to play , not a character .
plus , the attempts to make the character work by giving him a relationship with another sexy ( albeit " nineties " ) agent are a waste of time .
i wanted to have the movie end with him trying yet again to get it on with her , only to have her deck him one .
with a couple of exceptions , the movie misses all of its own best moments .
the movie even looks cheesy , and not in a good way : i kept wondering if it had been transferred down from hi - def video or something , so grainy was the film stock in a good many scenes .
the whole thing has the air of being done on the cheap .
my definition of comedy is simply : did it make me laugh ?
the few times that i laughed in austin powers were completely offset by the time i spent cringing and wanting out .
the most damning thing i could say about the movie is that wayne and garth would most likely have shoved it into mike tyson 's shorts and sent it sailing .

Ex Input:
a movie like mortal kombat : annihilation works ( and must be reviewed on ) multiple levels .
first , there 's the rampant usage of randian subtext that pervades the entire movie .
but occasionaly , almost as if making an ironic , self - depreciating remark , the movie tosses in clearly marxist imagery .
no no . . .
just kidding .
had you going there for a moment , did n't i ?
in all seriousness however , and to be fair to the movie , it * is * necessary to provide two viewpoints : that of a movie watcher unfamiliar ( or only marginally familiar ) with the whole mortal kombat phenomenon , and that of a fan of the first movie and/or a fan of the games .
the first movie ( mortal kombat ( 1995 ) ) concerned itself with a martial arts tournament that would decide the fate of earth ( and it 's 5 billion inhabitants ) .
the mortals won , and in theory this should have prevented the emperor shao khan from taking over the earth .
unfortunately , shao khan was a poor loser , and the very final scene in mortal kombat showed him arriving anyway , ready to take over the planet , as our heroes assumed a fighting stance .
the first movie was extraordinarily entertaining for those ( like myself ) who are fans of the game .
i 'd even go so far as to say that many folks who did n't know about the game probably enjoyed the movie .
the writers and directors knew the limitations of both their cast and of the basic story itself , and they did n't try to overachieve .
there were a lot of really cool fight scenes ( with really cool accompanying music ) , intersperesed with some distracting ( but ultimately non - intrusive ) bits of fluff passing itself off as a plot .
and , as we know , the movie was a smashing success at the box office .
mortal kombat :
annihilation picks up precisely where that movie left off , with some introductory exposition to clue in those who may not have seen the first movie .
shao khan has decided that he 's going to take over the earth
* anyways * , and to hell with some silly rule about mortals winning the tournament .
thereafter follows approximately 85 minutes of film that alternates between being confused , being trite , being silly , and being just plain stupid .
one gets the general impression that the producers of the movie thought " hey , that last movie was such a success that we can get more money and make a * real * movie now . " too bad they did n't simply stick with the formula from the first movie .
i could write volumes about the things that are wrong with this picture , but here are the high points :
* the acting is truly bad .
sandra hess ( playing the sonya blade character ) is particularly execrable , especially in scenes where she tries to convince us that she loved johnny cage ( a character from the first movie who gets greased at the beginning of this movie ) .
* in one of the worst pieces of mis - casting
i think i 've * ever * seen , james remar plays raiden , the god of thunder .
in the first movie , christopher lambert played raiden and played his character as though he was in on the joke :
a french actor playing a japanese thunder god being revered by chinese mystics .
i generally like it when actors are cast against type ( tim " tiny " lister , jr . being cast as the president of the u . s .
in the fifth element , for example ) , and remar has always been one of my favorite " utility " actors but he 's so totally wrong for this part that he does n't even have the luxury of amused self - awareness .
*
there are too many characters that are introduced as being potentially important , but then never seen again .
* there are a number of completely meaningless story sidetracks , including a muddled scene where liu kang ( robin shou ) seeks out nightwolf ( litefoot ) , has a mystical hallucination , and then wanders off with jade ( irina pantaeva ) .
for these reasons ( and many others ) , i can only give the movie a 2 . . . . . . unless you 're a huge fan of the games and/or the first movie .
in that case , the following critiques also apply : * sandra hess , while being an even worse actress than bridgette wilson ( who played sonya blade in the first movie ) , is much more convincing as a fighter .
wilson looked like she was simply mimicing some movements taught to her by the fight choreographer .
hess looks like she actually knows some martial arts , and puts together a much more believable fight scene .
* in the fights , each of the characters does at least * one * thing they do in the game ( and often more ) .
sonya does her " kiss of death , " jax does his " earthquake , " liu kang does his " animality , " and so on .
a big bonus for those of us who were looking for similar moves in the first movie and found them only rarely .
*
there are n't as many fight scenes in this movie as there were in the first , because the folks making the movie mistakenly try to hang a more robust plot in between .
silly , silly folks .
and the lamest fight involved two of the women in what turns into a mud - wrestling match .
lame and so obviously sexist
even i ( politically incorrect , for the most part ) noticed and remarked upon it .
* the special effects are generally better , except for the final fight scene between the emporer and liu kang in which both perform their " animalities .
" motaro and sheeva are both more convincing and lifelike than goro was in the first movie .
for folks like myself who loved the first movie and enjoy the games , i give this a 5 .
you 'll probably like it , but not nearly as much as you liked the first one .

what if one of our cities became the target for terror ?
what can we do ?
what can america really do about the increasing threat of terrorism ?
what basic human rights are we willing to sacrifice to prevent another oklahoma city disaster ?
so far america has been the leading nation , opposing the fundamentalist terrorists around the world .
it is the land of opportunities .
it is the land of freedom .
but what if it became the new target ?
this dark fantasy has unfortunately a very strong grounding in reality .
when a special branch of the united states military , under the command of general william devereaux ( bruce willis ) , takes prisoner suspected terrorist mastermind sheik ahmed bin talal , islamic fundamentalists across the world take notice .
the only warning the fbi receives is a single , cryptic message : " release him .
"
then all hell breaks loose in new york .
a bus is destroyed , killing 25 civilians .
a broadway theater is bombed .
hostages are taken at a school .
as the wave of terrorist activity crests , the president must consider if the only way to save the city and break the grip of fear is to declare martial law .
devereaux argues against that eventuality , but is nevertheless ready to lead 10 , 000 men into action on american soil .
another person not in favor of martial law is anthony hubbard ( denzel washington ) , the fbi agent in charge of investigating the terrorist activities .
his staff is comprised of smart , energetic , intelligent men and women very much unlike the usual group o !
f moronic feds we 're used to seeing in movies .
hubbard develops an uneasy alliance with cia agent elise kraft ( annette bening ) , whose department knows more about the situation than they 're willing to reveal .
but the attacks escalate .
the fbi are helpless , chasing an invisible enemy .
the land is under siege .
they have lost control . .
a terror is coming from within . .
what 's great about this film is that it is made as if holding up a mirror to life .
it reflects reality .
and that 's why it makes such an impact
.
edward zwick has created a clever , well written and terrifying thriller that may very well be one of the best films of the season .
the director manages to tell several stories simultaneously .
and so his film plays on several levels , never loosing focus on its main objective .
he is exploring the abuse of power , the distrustful relationships that exist between various segments of the u . s .
government ( the army , the fbi , and the cia ) .
he takes a look at the complexities inherent when so many secrets and lies are involved .
the palestinian community in 1998 new york is treated exactly as japanese americans were during world war ii .
there are concentration camps and unlawful interments , all in the name of the " greater good .
" in the latter part of the film the land of opportunities looses its heart and soul -- freedom .
was that what the terror !
ists really wanted ?
this film has evoked protests and objections from the arab - american population in the u . s .
and n .
y .
especially .
but to me these protests seem unnecessary .
zwick is careful to not step over the line and make the palestinians typical hollywood bad guys .
the script is therefore wonderfully balanced . agent hubbard 's best friend and loyal colleague frank haddad ( tony shalhoub ) is lebanese - american .
and it is quite often
you hear lines such as " my first boyfriend was palestinian .
they seduce you with their suffering " or " they love this country as much as we do .
"
but no matter how you twist this matter , you wo n't get away from the fact that when it comes to world wide terrorism
it is arab - speaking population who are in the great majority .
more to the point , the siege demonstrates the injustice of blanket condemnation of any ethnic group by depicting the unfair treatment of all arab - americans by the u . s .
military .
and thus this film does not serve as a source for discrimination in any ! way .
denzel washington is dashing as always .
in this role he is much more determined and stronger than usual .
anette bening is enjoyable and believable
as a shadowy cia operative who prefers espionage , a network of snitches and seduction to gather information . .
bruce willis is terrifying as the sadist , hungry for power , that never looses his connection with the audience , since his point of view is not too hard to understand .
the film is elegantly shaped .
the scenes are easily floating into each other and the film never seems overlong .
zwick knows exactly how to provoke tension , horror and emotions and
does it with a rarely observed professionalism .
he tightens the intensity as the events progress .
and when a plot twist comes , it actually is surprising .
it is not a film drained in patriotism , like the work of roland emerich .
nor is it a film that portrays explosions purely for entertainment values .
it is a daring picture that has courage enough to undertake such a risky story and difficult journey .
it has courage enough to get involved in politics .
it questions our foreign policies , mentality and defense .
i must admit that it ends rather disappointing , as the director turns the patriotism way up and innovation down .
but despite of that , it is certainly an intelligent and thrilling film that provokes emotions and thoughts ;
a virtue that few summer films can boast of .
"
this is the u . s . army .
it 's a broadsword , not a scalpel .
believe me , you do not want us in an american city " - gen .
william devereaux , " the siege "
