Input: Consider Input: " being john malkovich " is the type of film we need to see more .
today 's films are either blockbusters that entertain us with tiresome formulas , or those that have similar themes .
malkovich falls under none of these categories , and it 's quite refreshing to see that occur .
this strangely provoking story , is actually somewhat understandable .
john cusack plays a puppeteer trying to make it to the big time .
his wife ( cameron diaz ) supports the both of them by working at a petstore , which explains the obscure pets they keep in their apartment .
when cusack finally realizes he needs to get a job , he finds an ad for a filing clerk .
when he reaches the building , he arrives at a 7 1/2 floor .
it 's there that he discovers a secret portal that leads to being john malkovich for 15 minutes at a time .
meanwhile , cusack meets a business partner ( catherine keener ) , in which he falls madly in love with her .
the only problem is , she has no interest in him
what so ever .
the whole portal thing , is n't just a toy , in fact , it becomes cusack 's dream .
being inside malkovich 's mind , gave him the opportunity to basically control mlakovich , like a puppet , and to fulfill his fantasies .
i do n't want to give away too much , but cusack becomes too attached with his discovery .
in my opinion , this idea is absolutely brilliant .
it 's really quite scary to think that someone could become you , control you , be you .
it makes you wonder why we act like we do , and why sometimes we blurt out things or act out something out of the blue .
even if the script is super sharp , i ca n't help but find the ending displeasing .
it could have lead up to something more , or at least an amusing conclusion .
it tried to explain a mythology about the portals , that made it seem rushed .
other than that ,
i had a very enjoyable time .
the acting was quite delightful as well .
john cusack has finally been given a chance to prove his ability , and he does it well .
he 's by far the most underrated actor due to a lack of popularity , but i 'm hoping that will change .
cameron diaz was her usual charming self , although i felt that part was wrong for her , but
she pulled it off .
john malkovich himself continues to creep out people with his eerie facial expressions and tone of voice .
who else 's mind would be better to explore ?
the director , spike jonze , who appeared in last month 's three kings really catches my attention with this project .
i knew he was bizzare , but not to this extreme .
he too is likely too receive media attention .
" being john malkovich " is n't an excellent film , but it is definitly entertaining and will eaisly become a cult favorite .
what 's even better is the film 's puzzling message . . .
am i nick lyons ?

Input: Consider Input: here is a film that is so unexpected , so scary , and so original that it caught me off guard and threw me for a loop .
okay , it is n't quite original ,
considering it is a sequel to the box office hit species , but
it certainly is smart .
most films of this genre are reminiscent of those cheesy b - horror films from the 50s and 60s , and some even become them .
however , as we learned with the 1995 small - budget horror / sci - fi film , sometimes expectations can be shattered .
a lot of criticism has gone against this film ( from what i have read so far , anyway -- yep , all two reviews ) , and it makes me wonder why these types of films are automatically dismissed as gory , laughable pieces of trash .
but , the thing is , it is n't .
it 's well made , well acted , and quite intelligent .
i can see most of the critics now complaining about the level of gore or the level of sexuality in the film .
but the species series is n't about the lack of these elements .
it 's about how much it can get into one film .
and yet , behind it all , it has this basic premise that allows it to get away with doing so .
species ii begins in the present day , though it seems to be an alternate universe .
many films ( especially sci - fi ones ) create similar timelines as our realistic one , but change it to fit the film 's needs .
species ii begins with the arrival of an american spacecraft , the excursion , landing on the surface of mars .
aboard is patrick ross ( justin lazard ) , a very bright and very handsome astronaut .
patrick is the son of senator ross ( james cromwell ) , who just wants patrick to succeed .
well , it would seem that he has succeeded .
landing on the surface of mars , he is the first human being to ever do so .
of course , he is n't the first ever .
about a billion years ago , an alien species supposedly landed on mars and destroyed the perfect living conditions that were able to sustain life .
now , of course , the red planet is cold and rocky .
no life lives on it .
that is , no visible life .
patrick , upon leaving the spacecraft and landing on the red soil , collects samples from the ground .
he takes them aboard , and puts them in storage .
unfortunately , one of the samples contains a form of life , and it gets loose when it is heated aboard the ship .
just prior to heading back to earth , this life form creeps along the floor and inhabits the earthlings .
they pass out for approximately seven minutes , and then shrug it off as nothing , because they ca n't even remember .
they blame it on a technical malfunction .
back on earth , patrick begins to have strong urges to mate with as many women as possible .
as we know from the original , this is because the alien wants to breed and take over the planet .
however , the children that are bred are half - human , as their father is .
patrick is really looking for another alien to breed with , and he finds it in eve ( natasha henstridge ) .
eve was cloned from dna taken from sil , the original alien .
however , this time around , most of her " alien " urges have been either decreased dramatically , or lie dormant .
the project is led by dr .
laura baker ( marg helgenberger , reprising her role from species ) , and her motives seem respectable .
since she was involved with the original alien attack , she wants to learn how to stop the alien should it come again .
and it has .
story - wise
, species ii is much stronger than its predecessor , but it is also much stronger than , say , aliens
( hey , i love the film , but you ca n't tell me it was strong on story ) .
what surprised me the most with this film was the incorporation of historical facts into the screenplay .
in my search for extraterrestrial intelligence course in college , we learned about a piece of rock from mars which landed in one of the poles .
this piece of rock contained fossils which may have been proof of life on mars ( later , it was proven that it was not a living creature that created it ) .
the script uses this effectively , but also manages to provide a well - balanced plot .
beginning with the first man on mars ( something i have always dreamed of seeing ) , i was hoping that the film would turn this element into a useful starting point for the movie .
and it does it quite well .
the characters are all smart , and they know what to do and what not to do .
the only character that seems a little cliched is the general ( george dzundza ) , and yet
, he remains logical in everything he does .
there are the obvious flaws of course , mostly lying in the technical aspects .
the special effects are only mediocre , and some are just plain bad .
but for the most part , they remain believable
( i even noticed a homage to the alien series when the mothers gave birth to alien children ) .
also , the most realistic ones are usually the goriest , ranging from people being torn open , or someone 's head being blown off .
however , some plot elements also may elicit laughs from the audience , including a menage a troi that is all but necessary .
many people dislike the species series because all it is is an excuse for sex , nudity , and gory violence .
however , i tend to disagree .
what were the alien films about ?
and , if an alien species ever did come to earth , and their sole purpose was to destroy us , would n't you mate as quickly as possible with as many people as possible ?
my only gripe with this is during the scene where patrick goes searching for a mate in a grocery store .
i did n't realize that aliens were that picky on choosing women to mate with
( i just assume it is his part - human side looking for the most beautiful one ) .
the acting is quite good for this kind of film .
it is a vast improvement over the first film , at least .
the acting is the key element to this film : if it was bad , it would have lowered itself into camp ; if it was good , it would have asked for comparison with films like aliens .
okay ,
so it is n't that good .
george dzundza is probably the most obvious mistake on casting , as his over - the - top impersonation of a general makes him annoying and distracting .
natasha henstridge is limited this time around , as she is usually enclosed in a cage .
however , she does manage a very impressive performance with this aspect hindering any of her talent .
oh yeah ,
and she 's quite fun to just plain watch .
marg helgenberger is immensely better this time around , and her performance is probably the best in this film .
michael madsen is so - so , but he is n't annoying ,
and he soon becomes rather appealing
( with his nice cynic personality ) .
james cromwell has a small part , but he makes it much better than what it could have been with a more incapable actor .
as i say , any film with james cromwell dramatically increases in likeability .
mykelti williamson gives an enjoyable performance , and he gives the film a more down - to - earth feel .
and , of course , justin lazard .
lazard has so far been ridiculed for his performance ,
but i think he is effective .
sure , he is wooden , but is n't that what his character is like ?
the moment when he touches the glass separating henstridge from him was extremely well done , due to the couple 's acting .
species ii is rated r for strong sexuality , sci - fi violence / gore and language .
this is definitely an r rated film that young kids should not see .
more than likely , they would probably have nightmares and never have sex for the rest of their lives .
hell , i do n't even know if i will .
what is sure to be a critically lambasted film turns out to be the surprise film of the year .
i probably wo n't see another film where i was expecting so little and got so much for quite a while .
director peter medak has crafted a very suspenseful , and sometimes very scary movie out of a mediocre series .
medak has also mastered the wonderful " jump !
" moments , and has probably the second scariest moment i have ever seen on film ( scream still has the first ) .
strong acting , smart dialogue , intelligent plotting , and a sure - handed director , species ii is exactly what these films should be : entertaining .

Input: Consider Input: for the first reel of girls town , you just ca n't get over lili taylor .
is it possible to remain unperturbed that a woman of this age is playing a high school student ? harder still , can you avoid astonishment at how perfect she is in the part ? with the sure , showy expertise of a de niro , taylor imbues unwed mother patti with all the faux fuck - you confidence she can muster .
it 's a deeply felt , dead - on performance , and by the halfway point you 've forgiven taylor her own maturity .
for all its verite pretenses , girls town is less about a bunch of high - schoolers than it is about a movie director and a cadre of writer - performers examining their own feelings about rape , relationships , and american womanhood .
the movie 's opening scenes sketch an easy friendship between a group of four smart / sassy high school outsiders on the verge of graduation :
patti , angela ( bruklin harris ) , emma ( anna grace ) , and nikki ( aunjanue ellis ) .
but about 10 minutes into the film , we get word that nikki has swallowed a fistful of pills and bowed out of life .
the remaining girls manage to smug nikki 's diary out of her grieving mother 's home , and page through it at patti 's place , investigating the root of nikki 's despair .
what they find is cruel and galvanizing -- nikki had been raped by an editor at a newspaper where she interned , and was privately questioning the sanity and value of a world where such a thing could happen .
shell - shocked by the truth of the matter , the three girls begin to talk among themselves and come to a realization about their own lives .
emma says she was raped last year on a date with a football player .
patti 's barely sympathetic , wondering what the hell emma thought she was doing with her shirt off in a jock 's car .
and anyway , patti 's had her own share of guys who would n't take no for an answer .
pained , acrimonious debate ensues as the trio grow more and more angry -- angry about the impossibility of saying no , and angry with themselves for being weak , for being naive , for putting up with it .
"
why do we put up with it ?
" emma finally asks , once the argument has reached a fever pitch .
"
we try to talk about it , and look what happens .
we fight for 20 minutes .
"
there 's the admirable crux of this picture .
girls town is a political film , in that it calls for action .
but it 's incomplete -
it 's never quite sure how to justify that action , or what form it should take .
the trio become crusaders for their right to dignity , and it 's surely one of this year 's most stirring movie moments when emma lobs a concrete block through the passenger - side window of that damn jock 's car ( doing the right thing ? ) .
they hang out in the bathroom , chatting incessantly and scrawling slogans and naming names on the door to a toilet stall .
" subvert the patriarchy , " emma writes , and then starts a hall of shame list underneath that other students begin to contribute to .
the girls silence their hecklers , take revenge on the deadbeat father of patti 's child , and eventually come face - to - face with nikki 's tormentor .
still , the movie has a desperately unfinished quality , and none of these subsequent exploits is particularly satisfying .
( you keep waiting for someone to call the cops on these brazen girls , but nobody thinks of it . )
perhaps searching for a resolution missing from the material at hand , the film borrows its epigraphs from audre lorde and queen latifah ( " who you callin ' a bitch ? " ) .
the points are well taken , but they should have been unnecessary .
long on characterization but a little short on story , girls town is less than it could have been , and too self - congratulatory for my own taste .
director jim mckay is best known as a consort of r .
e . m .
's
michael stipe ( he directed the nearly unwatchable tourfilm for that band ) , and girls town is his first foray into feature filmmaking .
the movie was created and scripted by committee , but mckay and his lead performers had to shoot on a shoestring when , predictably , the group could n't secure funding .
then again , girls town on a budget would hardly be the same film .
the movie 's slapdash quality is key to its significance .
truth be told , all three of the leads look too wise for high school , but that 's ok
-- there 's a once - removed quality to their fine , spontaneous performances , as the women take a very skillful look back at the girls they once were , the girls they wish they had been , or some combination .
for all its flaws , this one gets extra points for having its uncertain head and heart in the same noble place .
