[EX Q]: robert benton has assembled a stellar , mature cast for his latest feature , twilight , a film noir mystery set amid the fading stars of hollywood .
paul newman stars as retired detective harry ross .
harry has spent the last couple of years doing odd jobs for jack and catherine ames ( gene hackman and susan sarandon ) , a pair of married actors who have fallen from the limelight .
when jack sends him on a routine delivery job , however , the old instincts kick in .
soon , harry is wading through a mystery where friendships and lives are on the line , and he no longer knows who to trust .
there are plenty of familiar faces throughout twilight , in addition to newman , hackman and sarandon .
james garner plays raymond hope , a former cop and one of harry 's best friends .
stockard channing plays verna , harry 's former partner , and possibly a former love interest .
reese witherspoon is mel , the distrustful daughter of the ames ' , and liev schrieber is her scuzzy boyfriend .
giancarlo esposito appears as harry 's bumbling detective protigi , and john spencer is a suspicious police captain .
with a cast like that , it 's almost worth watching twilight just to stargaze .
luckily , there 's more to the film than some sort of actor 's recognition ceremony .
twilight has a solid film noir - ish plot .
it may not have as many twists and turns as some of the classics , but it has much more than a lot of what passes for film these days .
the major cast members all deliver strong performances , as can be expected of their caliber .
however , none of them have that little extra oomph which would make them memorable .
the supporting cast is enjoyable , if a little underdrawn .
stockard channing 's character , in particular , is a cipher .
there 's more to her character than the film takes the time to describe .
it 's a minor , but irritating , flaw .
with a solid cast , and a good plot
, there 's a lot to recommend about twilight .
it 's biggest flaw is actually its short running time .
at a slim 94 minutes , there 's a lot of stuff that 's packed into an awfully small package .
still , the chance to see newman , sarandon and hackman working together is worth a cramp or two .

[EX Q]: steve martin is one of the funniest men alive . if you can take that as a true statement , then your disappointment at this film will equal mine .
martin can be hilarious , creating some of the best laugh - out - loud experiences that have ever taken place in movie theaters .
you wo n't find any of them here .
the old television series that this is based on has its moments of humor and wit .
bilko ( and the name is n't an accident ) is the head of an army motor pool group , but his passion is his schemes .
every episode involves the sergeant and his men in one or another hair - brained plan to get rich quick while outwitting the officers of the base .
" mchale 's navy " 's granddaddy .
that 's the idea behind this movie too , but the difference is that , as far - fetched and usually goofy as the television series was , it was funny .
there is not one laugh in the film .
the re - make retains the goofiness , but not the entertainment .
everything is just too clean .
it was obviously made on a hollywood back lot and looks every bit like it .
it all looks brand new , even the old beat - up stuff .
martin is remarkably small in what should have been a bigger than life role .
in the original , phil silvers played the huckster with a heart of gold and more than a touch of sleaziness .
martin 's bilko is a pale imitation .
the only semi - bright spot is phil hartman as bilko 's arch - enemy .
it 's not saying much , considering martin 's lackluster character , but hartman leaves him in the dust .

[EX Q]: one - sided " doom and gloom " documentary about the possible annihilation of the human race as foretold by the bible .
orson welles narrates and appears in the film in which he , along with best - selling author hal lindsey , discusses various prophecies from the bible and relates them to recent ( well for 1976 anyway ) events .
the film is dated badly , as many things that are supposed to happen in the " future " never do .
for example , the planets of the solar system were supposed to line up in the year 1982 and
cause chaos here on earth .
we 're still here .
the arms race between the soviets and america was supposed to kick - off the apocalypse .
we 're still here .
some of the more ludicrous moments come when it 's alluded to that people like jimmy carter and henry kissinger may actually be the antichrist ( ! ) .
also , there 's ten minutes of stock footage at the end of the film meant to give us an idea of what the battle for armageddon might be like .
if it 's anything like it 's depicted as here
then it 's going to be incredibly boring .
the late great planet earth is available on dvd from vci home video .
it contains the film in standard form ( aspect ratio of 1 . 33 : 1 ) , although some moments of stock footage are letterboxed .
also included are brief bios on orson welles and hal lindsey , as well as a trailer for another recent vci home video release , chariots of the gods .
audio is mono dolby digital , and the video is fair to good for a film like this .
i believe this is the first appearance of this film on any home video format so any condition at all is fine with me .
certainly i never expected a remastered print .
curiously , the menu screens on this dvd look nothing like the menu screens pictured on the back of the case .
but they 're menu screens .
. .
so who really cares ?
