Question: did claus von bulow try to kill his wife sunny in their newport mansion ?
that is the question reversal of fortune asks you to consider as it opens in a hospital ward , with a comatose sunny von bulow .
she is the main narrator of the film , in a narrative trick that was extraordinarily risky for schroeder .
the dramatic trick works , as sunny von bulow narrates a compelling story of murder , sex , unhappiness , and a lawyer 's moral dilemma
as he takes a case he thinks he can not win .
jeremy irons is claus von bulow , in what is his finest role , and one of the most devastingly evil performances in history .
he is as hated as any man alive , as cold as a cucumber .
his remorse for his wife 's comatose condition is nonexistant , and it is no wonder that even his children have difficulty accepting his version of what happened during christmas , 1980 .
the background to the case is such .
during christmas of 1979 , sunny von bulow fell into a deep coma from which she recovered and awoke .
the same situation occured in 1980 , only sunny never woke , and probably never will .
when examined , it was found that she had 14 times the normal amount of insulin within her blood .
claus von bulow is then accused of attempted murder by his stepson , convicted , and freed on bail .
he immediately hires alan dershowitz , the renowed harvard law professor , to acquit him .
ron silver is magnificent as a moral lawyer who can not stand what has happened to him .
we follow him through two very different cases ; the case of the johnson case , where two innocent kids are standing on death row for a crime they did n't commit , and von bulow , who he still has n't figured out .
dershowitz does n't know what happened to sunny , and he is extremely hesitant to take the case .
nevertheless , he does , based on certain things which happen during the investigative process that deeply upset him .
together with a group of law students , dershowitz concocts a defense and ultimately get the verdict reversed .
silver 's performance is one of a handful of solid roles in this deep film .
schroeder directs on many different levels , with multiple plot lines which blend in wonderfully in the mind of alan dershowitz .
there are flaws ; at times , the film gets overly theatrical .
yet , due to glenn close 's troubled and brutally honest performance as sunny von bulow , the use of her comatose body as a narrator works here fairly well .
the flashbacks are good , but at times schroeder does n't fill in the blanks .
the movie could have benefited with the increased attention of certain developments during the film , and it could have used a better ending .
the film progressed wonderfully before ending suddenly , without any intelligent conclusion .
the supporting characters are often neglected , and dershowitz 's team should have been allowed to grow character wise , but schroeder over - simplifies the story and the characters .
yet , for all these flaws , the film is deeply engrossing because of irons .
as von bulow , he is brutally evil .
anti - semitic , prejudiced , arrogant , protective , he is a rotten , lying monster , whose conviction may have been wrong legally , but morally he was to blame .
irons plays him to a cold perfection , with pathetic attempts to gain moral support for his claims to innocence .
he is an adulterous liar and a cheat who in all likelihood committed the murder .
however , the genius of reversal of fortune comes in its distinction between moral culpability and legal responsibility .
there is no doubt von bulow is responsible for his wife 's death by years of neglect and coldness .
however , legally , did he do the murder ?
schroeder dares the viewer to make up his own mind .
with all the character flaws , reversal of fortune is an engrossing puzzle because it is intelligent ; he wants the viewer to make up his own mind .
schroeder taunts the viewer with contradictory revelations , and then mentions that the answer to this compelling puzzle shall be revealed when we join sunny von bulow , in death .
for all the failed dramatic theatrics , this is one that works beautifully .
we do n't know what happened .
that sense of legal ambiguousness , along with von bulow 's obvious moral guilt , is why reversalf fortune works .
in the end , von bulow is as sadistic as ever .
irons is haunting , and that is why reversal of fortune is so good .

Answer: P


Question: "
some houses are born bad , " goes the haunting 's tag line , to which i must add , " some movies , too .
"
nothing short of hiring a new cast , a more literate screenwriter , and a new director could have saved this tragically misguided adaptation of jackson 's meritorious novel .
the haunting is late entry summer dreck too slick to be creepy , and its seemingly endless stream of digital trickery and spooky ooky sound effects do n't frighten so much as numb the audience into submission
- the film is like a rube goldberg contraption rigged to shout " boo .
" fragile nell ( taylor ) , bisexual theo ( zeta - jones ) , and smiley luke ( wilson ) are three insomniacs who gather at the reputedly possessed hill house for an extended study on sleep disorders , hosted by professor marrow ( neeson ) .
marrow 's secretly gathering data on their respective paranoid responses to his recount of hill house 's bleak history .
he 's not prepared for the very real apparitions that terrorize the crew , nell especially , who has some ancestral connection to the manor 's previous inhabitants .
taylor is thoroughly insufferable in her first big - budget lead .
for starters , her consistently dour expression sucks the life out of even the early scenes , when we 're introduced to the mansion and all its fun - house trappings .
her character is supposed to be depressed , having tended to an unloving mother for too many years , but taylor plays nell as supernaturally lame , alternately grouchy , mopey , wiggy and pathetic , and i kept wondering why the other characters did n't just ditch this bitch
.
as for the obscenely photogenic zeta - jones , she breezes through her scenes with a wink and a smile and takes the scenery with her .
unfortunately , she 's saddled with some of the most unlikely dialogue the screenplay has to offer .
theo 's assessment of the house ?
"
i love it !
sort of charles foster kane meets the munsters .
" who on earth would say that in place of " citizen kane meets the munsters " ?
( furthermore , would you gladly spend a single night in a house befitting that description ? )
both actresses fare better than neeson , who looks embarrassed to be a part of this ensemble ( and for good reason ) , and his character is the most bland .
as luke puts it , dr .
marrow pulls the old " academic bait and switch " on his subjects , but he breaks down and confesses to this the second he 's accused .
later , he risks his life by climbing a crumbling stairwell to save nell ( it 's amusing to hear neeson shout " nell " repeatedly , given his starring role in the 1994 jodie foster vehicle of the same name ) .
why was this nice , helpful , and redemptive researcher so absent of ethics at the start ?
the haunting was well designed by eugenio zanetti .
his sets are obsessively detailed , and even before the cgi kicks in , they seem alive , never quite still .
i do have one beef with this aspect of the production :
the real life mansion used in exterior shots , nottinghamshire 's harlaxton manor , is so vast that one has trouble believing that nell and company , no matter how much running away they do from ghosts and goblins , always finish up in locations that were established in act one , as if all the action has been confined to one wing of hill house .
eighty million dollars was spent on the haunting , and despite a powerhouse box office debut ,
i doubt it will recoup its costs ( including marketing ) domestically .
thank jan de bont for that : proving for the third time that speed was a fluke , in that it was actually enjoyable , de bont has served up another ride , sans thrill .
his images , well - lit though they are , have an unmistakable been there - done that quality
; in fact , whole sequences , not to mention the cloaked , airy ghoul who owns the climax , feel lifted from a much smarter and infinitely more enjoyable spectacle from three summers back , peter jackson 's the frighteners .
i do n't mean to suggest de bont is a plagiarist , i mean to suggest that he 's a hack , having found no new ways to give us chills .

Question: george little ( jonathan lipnicki ) wants a little brother .
after mr .
and mrs .
little ( hugh laurie and geena davis ) visit the orphange , they decide to adopt stuart , a talking mouse ( voiced by michael j . fox ) .
george is n't so fond of his new brother when stuart arrives at the little house , and neither is snowbell the family cat ( voiced by nathan lane ) .
george and stuart eventually bond while preparing for a remote control boat race , but snowbell wants stuart out of the house ( he 's unable to live with the taunts of other neighborhood felines saying it 's ridiculous that a mouse has a pet cat ) .
stuart little is a mix of live action and computer generated imagery ( cgi ) .
the character of stuart , while obviously a computer generated image , grows on you as the film progresses and you 'll soon see him as much more than a mere special effect
.
there is also a great deal of animal training involved with this film , as many of the " supporting cast " are actual cats ( with computer animated mouths so they can speak ) .
it 's fascinating to watch these cats give performances without an actual mouse to interact with .
stuart little is a charming family film .
there are some great laughs in the movie ( with a script co - written by the sixth sense 's m . night shyamalan no less ! ) , some moments that can only be described as " too cute " ( the boat race sequence is what won me over ) and even the majority of the one - liners ( common nowadays in children 's films or films featuring nathan lane ) are tolerable .
kids and parents will love this one .
stuart little is available on dvd from columbia tristar home video .
there are two different dvds on sale : one contains the film in full frame , and the other presents the film in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1 .
66 : 1 . both versions feature choices of either dolby surround or dolby digital 5 .
1 audio .
both versions also contain the following extras ( and hang in there with me here . . .
there 's a lot of them ) :
a full length audio commentary track by director rob minkoff and animation supervisor henry anderson , a full length audio commentary track by the visual effects supervisors , an isolated score track , an interactive trivia game , an interactive featurette that goes step by step through eight of the effects in the film , a making of documentary that originally aried on hbo , and a stuart little read - along story ( which you can read yourself or have stuart read for you ) .
there are also three music videos , and six theatrical trailers ( called thecatrical trailers . . . get it ?
it 's funny ! )
for stuart little and five other columbia tristar releases : the adventures of elmo in grouchland , madeline , the nuttiest nutcracker , muppets from space , and baby geniuses ( the only bad thing about this entire dvd .
. .
i did not want to be reminded of the awfulness that is baby geniuses ) .
dvd - rom features are also on the disc , including web links and a demo of the stuart little cd - rom game .
but wait . . .
there 's still more !
there 's a section called " basement treasures " where you will find the auditions of the film 's animators , six deleted scenes which you can select to view with or without commentary from the director , a visual effects gag reel , a production gag reel , and an incredible eight minute storyboard sequence detailing the original concept for the boat race scene ( with commentary from the director ) .
the first commentary track features director rob minkoff and animation supervisor henry anderson .
they give insightful and detailed thoughts about the film 's production .
minkoff likes to point out scenes where other screenwriters came in and polished up the script , namely writers like scott alexander and larry karaszewski ( who wrote the people vs .
larry flynt and ed wood ) and lowell ganz and babaloo mandel ( who wrote splash and multiplicity , among others ) .
anderson is very appreciative of the animators who worked with him and often points out which animator worked on each scene as they occur .
the second commentary track features visual effects supervisors john dykstra and jerome chen who discuss more specific details of the effects in the film .
movie fans will enjoy the informative first commentary track , serious animation buffs will love the second one .
now i know this is slightly off topic , but it is related specifically to this dvd
so i must voice this now .
one of the music videos on the disc is for a song called " i need to know " by a group called r angels .
this video features four mid - teenage girls ( the singers obviously ) having a slumber party .
the girls ask a ouija board " i need to know . . . who to do , who to do , who to do " as the song begins .
they then sneak out of their house , and along the way they strike a pose and their slumber party pajamas are magically transformed into middle class streetwalker outfits .
then they head to a party and dance suggestively with the guys while singing lyrics like " i 'll be your pleasure all the time .
. .
just say the words that you 'll be mine " .
um . . .
what the hell ?
what does this have to do with stuart little ?
how is this in any way a song suitable for a kids movie , let alone a video suitable for a kids movie on dvd ?
when the video concludes , the words " to be continued " appear .
oh i ca n't wait to see who they 've slept with when the toy story 2 dvd comes out .
kids wo n't care about most of the special features on this dvd , but those of us who can sometimes be turned into a " kid at heart
" thanks to a winning family film sure appreciate them .
this is the way to do dvd , a good movie loaded with great features at a reasonable cost .
the di$ney people could learn a lot from columbia tristar .
