Question: this feature is like a double header , two sets of clich ?
s for the price of one .
not only do we get the usual tired sports chestnuts , but the banal rich girl - poor boy love story is tossed in for good measure .
an original moment in this loser is as rare
as a chicago cubs world series appearance .
the screenplay by kevin falls and john gatins , based on a story by falls , merely lobs
its plotline at the audience .
this is a story that needed sent down for seasoning and more coaching .
summer catch centers around ryan dunne ( freddie prinze jr . ) , a cape cod youth chosen to participate in the prestigious cape cod baseball league , supposedly a showcase for the best young amateur and college players in the country .
ryan is a blue - collar kind of guy .
he works with his dad taking care of the lawns of cape cod 's rich and famous .
he also , as we are informed early , his own worst enemy .
he has the potential and the talent , but always seems to self - destruct at the crucial moment .
so , ryan tries to remained focused on baseball .
then he meets tenley parrish ( jessica biel ) , daughter of one of the blue bloods whose lawn he manicures .
tenley , a name only a hack screenwriter could invent , is unlike her snobbish counterparts and falls for ryan . if you ca n't figure out where all this nonsense leads , then you need a remedial course in film viewing .
as always prinze is pretty to look at , but his performance mainly consists of facial expressions : puppy dog love , heartbreak , frustration , self - loathing or determination .
biel cries a lot , while bruce davison merely acts smarmy as her class - conscious father .
the only beacon is matthew lillard 's fun - loving billy brubaker , the team 's catcher .
summer catch borrows situations and stylings from other baseball movies , such as bull durham and the natural .
no curve balls here , no sliders .
every pitch is predictable . a blind umpire could call this movie .
summer catch is strictly rookie league moviemaking .
it has as much chance of making the movie hall of fame as the dodgers have of moving back to brooklyn .

Answer: N


Question: " spice world " is just one long promotional film for the british girl band the spice girls .
sure there 's a hint of humor in there every once in a while .
actually , there 's a couple of pretty good jabs at the spice girls .
but overall , who cares ? not me .
if you do n't know by now , the spice girls sing songs of love and friendship and responsibility and girl power , yet dress like streetwalkers from a lower middle class neighborhood .
in " spice world " they ride around in their big tour bus , whining about having to do photo shoots and give interviews .
amazingly , all the talk they do about keeping commitments and upholding responsibilities only really applies to fun things , things they want to do , not things they are required to do to keep earning money .
and they keep babbling about " girl power " when they should really be talking about " cleavage power " .
i mean , if all it takes is girl power , then why are they
only one thread away from bursting out of their skimpy outfits ?
the film is pg , but really with only some very minor dialogue changes and scene extentions , you 'd have yourself one raunchy adult film .
by the way , there 's something in the opening credits which says " based on an idea by the spice girls " .
wow , they got idea credit !
i certainly wish that was a new trend in hollywood . . .
giving credit for simply having the thought " say girls , let 's make a movie !
"
the supporting cast fares well .
roger moore ( the real james bond ) mockingly plays the cliche - spewing " chief " of the spice girls , and darn it all , he 's fun to watch .
mark mckenney also is good as a screenwriter trying to pitch film ideas to the band 's manager ( richard e . grant ) .
one question though : george wendt ?
you 'd think that " spice world " would envoke one of two reactions in people .
if you like the spice girls , you 'll like them even more afterwards .
and if you ca n't stand them ( like me ) , then " spice world " will really make you sick .
oddly , the audience i saw the film with , roughly 50 twelve year - old girls , sat in silence for the entire film .
well , not the two who sat directly behind me .
they kept muttering " this is stupid " over and over again .
maybe there is hope for humanity after all .

Question: it is easy to see why the late stanley kubrick believed steven spielberg would be the perfect director for his a .
i .
artificial intelligence , just as it is understandable why spielberg was attracted to the material .
for here we have another lost boy trying to find his way home , an outcast seeking family , themes very familiar from most of spielberg 's body of work from sugarland express to close encounters of the third kind to e .
t .
to empire of the sun to hook to saving private ryan , naming just a few examples .
a .
i . is set in an undefined near future in which giant technological advances have led to the creation of robots who serve every purpose from housekeeping to fulfilling sexual fantasies .
it is an era when robots are treated merely as sophisticated appliances .
the last great leap in robotic evolution is the addition of emotions , and with the number of births limited by the government , many couples are yearning for children .
and professor hobby ( william hurt ) has the solution .
a robotic boy named david ( haley joel osment ) , who is programmed to love .
as a test , david is placed with henry swinton ( sam robards ) and his wife , monica ( frances o'connor ) .
their natural - born son has been cryogenically frozen until a cure can be found for his illness .
the first third of a .
i .
deals with david 's life with the swintons and how that is changed by the recovery and return of their son , martin .
circumstances force david to be cut off from the swintons .
he is abandoned and alone .
david , highly influenced by the fairy tale , pinocchio , feels that if he becomes a real boy he can rekindle monica 's love for him .
the film 's second act follows david 's search for the blue fairy , whom he believes will be able to fulfill his wish .
during these adventures he meets and is helped by gigolo joe ( jude law ) , a robot who specializes in sex .
spielberg is at his top form in this sequence , offering a brutal " flesh fair " where robots are destroyed via sadistic methods for the amusement of paying customers .
here , is where kubrick 's influence is strongly felt , as the movie explores the fear and distrust humans have for robots .
the savagery conjures up images from the late director 's a clockwork orange .
at about two hours and 30 minutes , the film begins to falter during the last 20 minutes , a sequence that seems most spielbergian with images that appear to be borrowed from close encounters .
it is all very anti - climatic and jarring .
these scenes seem almost superfluous , as if from a different film .
a .
i .
is a dark fairy tale that deserves its pg-13 rating .
it is a story combining hope and intolerance , sacrifice and bigotry , and while it does not coalesce perfectly , the movie does offer some disturbing images .
but a .
i .
is really a showcase for the acting talents of the amazing young osment .
if ever an actor deserved an academy award nomination , it is this lad , who brings a sense of joy and wonder to the role of david , a being created for the express purpose of loving .
he shines when with monica , beaming with love , as eager as a puppy to please .
after being left in the woods , he is confused , lost , hurt , focusing on one objective : to become a real boy and find his way home so he can redeem himself in his mother 's eyes .
law is pleasant as the care - free robot who really does n't understand david 's quest , but is nonetheless happy to help him on his journey .
probably the toughest role is o'connor 's monica .
playing an emotional fragile woman who sees david as a substitute for her lost martin , she grows conflicted after her boy returns
and she begins to perceive david not as a second chance , but as a threat to her family .
she gives her character enough emotional chaos that you can not fault her for her course of action .
many of a .
i .
's
futuristic sets are breathtaking , especially a mostly submerged new york , lost to the world by the melting of the polar ice caps .
a .
i . is a flawed film , and you can not get through the entire feature without pondering - even subconsciously - how it would have turned out with kubrick instead of spielberg behind the camera .
would it have been darker ?
more cynical ?
we will never know .
we can only judge what is before us on the screen , a collaboration of two cinematic giants .
a .
i .
is a most interesting and thought - provoking examination of a future that is quickly gaining on us .
