[EX Q]: i remember making a pact , right after ` patch adams ' , to not be easily be suckered by movies dripping with sentimentality .
but darn it , ` music of the heart ' is just layered with feel - good material and bright characterizations .
it 's hard to dislike a movie that uses such skill with it 's manipulation .
in addition , it 's also a terrific family film .
this is the true story of violin teacher
roberta guaspari , who fought the school board to keep the musical program active in a handful of inner city harlem schools .
it could also be described as ` mrs .
streep 's opus ' .
yes , meryl streep brings her dramatic clout to the demanding role of guaspari , and that brings both good news and bad .
out of the gate , possibly because of her distracting star power and the rushed writing , it is relatively difficult to identify with roberta 's character and grasp her academic point - of - view .
she is very strict with her students , but what insight does that create into the story ?
slowly but surely , we begin to recognize the intentions of the character , and show admiration for the thoughtfulness and human feeling that streep has once again applied .
one thoroughly interesting fact about ` music of the heart ' lies with the unlikely presence in the director 's chair : horror veteran wes craven .
after leaving an impression with the ` scream ' films and the original ` nightmare on elm street ' , craven has attempted a precarious cross - over to drama .
at first , his inexperience with the genre is fairly obvious , but as the film progresses craven finds a surprisingly comfortable niche with directing this material .
it does n't carry the heart - warming courage of ` mr .
holland 's opus ' , but ` music of the heart ' is casually assured and filled with little morsels of dramatic truth .
the tag team of streep and craven works better than you would anticipate .
yes , oscar could come calling once again for meryl streep , but it 's the solid ensemble cast that makes ` music of the heart ' work .
angela bassett displays her usual forceful stamina as janet williams , the principal at an inner city school who initially does n't hire roberta because of her lack of experience .
blue - eyed adian quinn is endearing , as always , playing a new love interest .
gloria estefan also delivers in the tiny role of a supportive second - grade teacher , and the three lead actresses together produce a flaming fireball of estrogenic force .
it 's like a schoolteacher 's version of ` thelma and louise ' , in a restrained but effective manner .
the movie tackles more issues than just guaspari 's teaching of violin .
there 's some powerful moments between roberta and her two sons , who must cope when their father leaves them for another woman .
in it 's dramatic build - up
, the movie manages to produce some authentic moments of feeling and warmth .
it 's a good movie for anyone to see , although missing out on the experience would not be a life - altering decision .
it 's commendable of wes craven to be attempting such a difficult cross - over , and also for achieving his intricate goal .
watching this heartfelt chick flick about morals and musical instruments , who may ask yourself : this is the guy who directed ` scream ' ?
of course , when the third installment of that series comes around in february 2000 ( with craven directing ) , you may find yourself wondering : this is the guy who directed ` music of the heart ' ?
mission accomplished , wes .
thankfully , there is no layer of artificial sentiment covering the film .
in it 's entirety , it 's a wholesome and agreeable movie for the whole family , despite the periodic flaws that surface every once in awhile .
the child actors are cute and perform up to par , even if some of their problems are clich ?
d and predictable in the extreme .
the mother who does n't want her son to be learning ` white man 's music ' , the unexpected casuality .
. .
basically everything is there .
it does n't strike the perfect chord , but ` music of the heart ' is highly convincing .
the uplifting true story of roberta guaspari could have been told better , but ` music of the heart ' is still edifying enough to properly divulge her morals .

[EX Q]: when walt disney pictures announced a live - action feature based on the ' 60s cartoon series of " mr . magoo , " special interests groups representing the vision - impaired let out a cry of dismay .
mr .
magoo , they claimed , would be an insult to the men and women they represented .
in fact , they were wrong .
mr .
magoo is not just an insult to the blind and near - blind ,
it 's an insult to every human being who has the misfortune to suffer through this dreadfully unfunny , 90 minute atrocity .
it 's stating the obvious to remark that disney appears to have run out of original ideas
.
look at their roster of 1996 and 1997 releases , and you 'll see a shocking list of retreads , including 101 dalmatians , george of the jungle , jungle2jungle , that darn cat ! , flubber , and now mr . magoo .
the best of these ( george of the jungle ) was mildly entertaining .
the worst , mr . magoo ,
exposes just how painful a bad movie experience can be .
the first problem with mr .
magoo is the script .
despite the collaboration of naked gun scribe pat proft , mr . magoo is comically barren .
from beginning to end , there 's not a laugh to be found .
every attempt at humor -- and there are lots of them -- falls flat with an audible thud .
you 'd think that out of the dozens of gags jammed into this film , at least a few would work , but that 's not the case .
i 've had more laughs during ingmar bergman pictures .
then there 's leslie nielsen , who looks , sounds , and acts absolutely nothing like the animated character ( memorably voiced by jim backus ) .
in the past , nielsen has proven his comic aptitude with roles in movies like airplane and the naked gun .
lately , however , he has been getting lazy , taking parts in the likes of dracula : dead and loving it , spy hard , and mr . magoo .
even if nielsen was in top form , it would take an incredible stretch of imagination to see him as magoo ( especially since we 're reminded of the original by the short cartoon segments that open and close the film ) , but " top form " is not a phrase i would use to describe his performance here .
this is strictly a take - the - money - and- run operation .
the story , which , like many disney stories , can be described in one long sentence : magoo is the only witness to the theft of a rare jewel from a museum , and , as he is trying to apprehend the thieves on his own , the police mistake him for the robber .
the cops are played by ernie hudson and stephen tobolowsky , who take their lumps early and often .
the bad guys are kelly lynch ( who does a lot of martial arts - type kicking ) , nick chinlund , and malcolm mcdowell ( who has the good sense to look embarrassed ) .
matt keeslar portrays one of magoo 's sidekicks -- his nephew , waldo .
the bumbling man 's other , more interesting companion is a dog named angus .
most of mr .
magoo 's humor comes in the form of failed slapstick .
the cartoon violence level in this film does n't approach that of home alone 3 or flubber , but it 's still pretty acute , with characters getting hit on the head with sledgehammers and knocked off snowy precipices .
there 's a non - violent bit with magoo preparing a chicken dinner that could have been funny if it was handled better , but , compared to mr .
bean 's recent , similar misadventure , it does n't hold up well .
then there is the series of lame jokes that result from magoo 's near blindness , such as the occasion when he mistakes a wild animal for a baby .
i 'm willing to cut director stanley tong a little slack .
tong , a hong kong film maker trying to break into the hollywood market , has helmed several jackie chan movies , including first strike , rumble in the bronx , and supercop .
his chief talent , that of choreographing martial arts fights , is wasted here ( despite some high kicking by kelly lynch ) .
like john woo ( hard target ) and ringo lam ( maximum risk ) before him , it appears that tong has been consigned to the purgatory of making a bad movie as his entry into the american mainstream .
it is worth noting that , unlike many disney films which hold a perverse appeal for the under-10 crowd while driving parents to distraction , mr . magoo appears to bore viewers of all ages .
the screening i attended was wall - to - wall kids , and , for the most part ,
they did n't seem to be enjoying themselves .
when the film was over , i asked one little girl what she thought of it .
her pained expression confirmed the adage that a picture can indeed be worth a thousand words .
mr .
magoo is the kind of movie that should be rejected by any potential viewer
, sight unseen .

[EX Q]: capsule : a wild jungle woman and an 11-story gorilla are discovered in tibet and taken to hong kong where the gorilla escapes and causes havoc .
this is a laughable 1977 rip off of king kong ( 1976 ) , itself a rip - off .
production values are low and audiences seem to like the film mostly for derisive laughter
. ,
high -2 ( -4 to +4 )
- directed by ho meng - hua .
- this film is provided to be a sort of laughing stock to finish the festival .
- an earthquake uncovers an 11-story tall gorilla in the himalayas .
a hunter , chosen because he just broke up with his girl and is at loose ends , gets sent to find the ape and finds a sort of female tarzan who controls the ape .
- evelyne kraft is the jungle girl in a leather bikini that she is pasted into
so she always looks on the verge of bouncing out of .
- gorilla actor has no idea how gorillas move and suit is terrible . nice miniature effects , however .
- has almost a music video inside it of jungle girl playing with animals like chi - chi the leopard .
- several places there is narrative that is nearly incoherent as if there are missing scenes and the viewer has to guess what happened in the interim .
- actual location shooting in mysore .
ape shown badly matted behind temple . - combining of images usually pretty bad . incompetent matching of film stocks .
- stock footage frequently used .
- gorilla brought to hong kong by greedy entrepreneur who really abuses the ape before it escapes and tears things up real good .
