question:
this movie is based off the wildly popular video - game series of the same name .
before this film , the game had a few spin - off cartoons-
which were ok .
but the idea of doing a movie is insane .
it should have been animated , if it should have been done at all .
instead the people do the best they can with a talented cast .
yet it still fails .
the plot is completely different from the game 's plot-
i 'm not complaining about that .
the story involves the mario bros .
having a plumbing business in brooklyn and having to compete with a rival company .
eventually they find a construction site by their nemesis , which happens to be enviromentally un - safe .
so , due to luigi 's ( john leguizamo ) girlfriend - princess daisy - they go and investigate .
they get transported to a blade runner - esque world lead by king koopa ( dennis hopper ) .
somehow a plot dealing with all the dinosaurs being mutated and transported to an alternate futuristic mega - city jumbles in .
the plot is fine- better than the movie deserves .
the acting is ok .
this seems to be more of a visual film .
the special effects are good , especially on the robotic yoshi .
however the film drags and is no fun .
and it leaves itself open to a sequel , which probably wo n't ever be made .
this movie begins sort of promising , but ends up leaving a weird taste in your mouth .
so if you want to watch a sort of odd movie starring the excellent dennis hopper , then watch super mario bros .
: the movie .
you could do worse .
but you could definitely do better . . .

N


question:
probably the most popular and praised film of all time , turned out to be a primitive and predictable costume drama with a dose of social criticism .
everyone knows about the greatest and most famous shipping disaster of all time .
and the actual catastrophe is masterfully crafted by director james cameron , combining visual -and sound effects , he re - creates the frightening atmosphere of the sinking ship in the middle of nowhere .
i liked very much
the emotional and brutal contrast between the first and the third classes .
while their cabin is slowly filling up with water , a mother is telling her children a fairytail -- " .
.
and they lived happily ever after . .
"
.
and then the ship goes down
and the few survivors are left alone under the stars and the chilling air .
however , the actual disaster is happening almost at the end of the movie , while the first two hours are just beautiful sets and bad dialogues .
in the present day , the rms titanic is explored by brock lovett ( bill paxton ) , a treasure seeker looking for the coeur de la mer diamond , lost during the sinking .
somewhere inside the ship , lovett 's crew discover a sketchbook of an artist long dead .
here , in the shape of a nude young lady , is a window into the distant age of 1912 .
lovett is extremely surprised when he get 's a phone call from rose dawson , claiming that she is a model .
she is immediately helicoptered onto the vessel , and she gets the first glimpse of the fated ship in 80 years .
as the memories come flooding back , she once again becomes rose dewitt buketer ( kate winslet ) , the fianc ?
e of wealthy cal hockley ( billy zane ) and daughter of ruth dewitt bukater ( frances fisher ) .
on board there are rich and poor , everyone trust in the ship 's designer ( jonathan hyde ) and her master , captain e .
j .
smith ( bernard hill ) .
on board the ship , rose , unhappy and restless meets jack ( leonardo dicaprio ) - a young american artist , poor , brave and attractive .
a love story slowly emerges and the two lovers must not only experience the difference between the social classes , but also face the greatest power on earth - death .
cameron could as well have called his picture " the never ending love " or " love at first sight " , as he concentrates all his energy on the young couple , and not on the disaster itself .
the plot is anything but original and the dialogues sometimes resemble a television soap - opera .
the director does n't even try to overcome his empty script . because of its primitive and predictable plot , titanic is totally depending on the visuals that truly are breathtaking .
russel carpenter 's rich , majestic and incredibly detailed cinematography is certainly award - worthy .
everything from art direction to visual and sound effects are a top notch .
but it does n't help much when the costumes are more convincing than the actors who wear them .
the actors are not to blame , because their characters are more like caricatures , in other words - fake .
jack is a man with many talents : he is a talented artist , handsome , brave , honest , strong , funny . . .
you name it .
he does n't have any dark side , he does n't make any mistakes , that for a second would make him human .
jack is perfect , but he is - poor .
on the other hand we have cal .
he is a bastard that treats rose as an odalisque and not as his wife - to - be .
he lacks everything jack possesses , but he is -- rich .
this childish contrast between the social classes is one of those things that makes titanic nothing more than a mediocre picture .
cameron knows precisely what we want to see .
his film therefore contains certain minimums to draw an audience - attractive actors , a " tragic love story " , beautiful visuals ( including expensive special effects ) , a dose of social criticism , a fascinating historical event ( we love true stories ) and last , but not least - an incredible media support , which proclaimed an average picture the " greatest film of all time " .
on the outside titanic looks perfect , but behind that sparkling curtain of incredible visuals - is emptiness - nothing to think about .
the main weakness of this film , which ironically became its success , is simplicity .
cameron enables our basic and if you wish - primitive emotions : love , hate , fear and helplessness .
everyone understands the power of love and the threat to our beautiful couple is likewise imaginable - a sinking ship .
titanic is a typical hollywood production , totally and completely dependent on visual perfection to hide its primitive plot .
it 's a good picture , but absolutely not a masterpiece .
it 's among hundreds and thousands good films released every year , not better or worse than the average american film .

question:
warren beatty 's " bulworth " is a caustic political comedy that does n't attack any particular political group , but rather the ingrained insincerity that has infected the american political system .
some might think this film is vulgar , and in many ways it is . however , as loud and raucous as it is , " bulworth " speaks the truth , which is almost always ugly to hear .
beatty , who directed the film and co - wrote the script with jeremy pikser ( " the lemon sisters " ) , stars as incumbent u .
s .
senator jay billington bulworth , who has one of the best politician names in cinema history .
bulworth is a democrat , and in beatty 's view , he is symbolic of everything that has gone wrong with the current democratic party .
once an ideological liberal ( like beatty still is ) , bulworth has long since succumbed to the materialistic pressures of washington .
instead of waging the battles for the impoverished and the downtrodden , which was once the calling card of democrats , bulworth has become another sell - out money hound - if he 's not accepting illegal bribes from the insurance lobby or taking campaign contributions from the chinese , he 's making wind - bag speeches that start with the amusingly clintonesqe statement , " america is standing on the doorstep of a new millennium . . . .
blah , blah , blah .
"
when the film opens , it is a few days before the 1996 primary elections , and bulworth is sitting at his desk weeping because he realizes how corrupt he has become .
in a fit of desperation , he takes out a $ 10 million life insurance policy from a dirty insurance rep played by paul sorvino ( part of a shady lobby deal to kill a threatening bill in committee ) , and then hires a hit man to kill him , although he does n't know who the assassin will be , or when the hit will take place . knowing that he will soon be dead , bulworth unleashes his own brand of political rhetoric on the world , which is made up of politically incorrect truths about the state of american politics and the society in general .
at a compton church , he tells the group of african - americans that they will have no power in the u . s . unless they " put down that malt liquor and chicken wings , and get behind somebody other than a running back who stabs his wife .
"
later , in a particularly hilarious sequence , bulworth mixes with the hollywood elite , then insults the quality of their movies and informs them that the only reason he 's
there is because " my guys always put the big jews on my schedule .
"
all throughout this physically and politically suicidal escapade , bulworth 's chief of staff , dennis murphy ( oliver platt ) , follows behind in a state of constant shock and bewilderment .
platt has some of the movie 's funniest scenes , as he makes murphy into a politically savvy but nonetheless clueless assistant who is forced to watch his own career teeter at the brink of being flushed down the toilet .
his constant half - truth - telling and spin - doctoring to cover bulworth 's stampede is equaled in its perversion only by a self - righteous reporter ( nora dunn ) who acts like murphy 's refusal to explain bulworth 's actions ( something he really can not do ) is somehow an act of treason .
when bulworth decides he wants to live after all , and therefore must constantly evade a grim - looking assassin to be who 's trailing him at every turn , he hides out in the ghetto , complete with a stereotypical gangsta wardrobe which he wears to one of his television interviews .
at this point , beatty abandons much of the political aspect and dives into a cartoonish exploration of the black inner - city experience .
bulworth becomes friendly with a young black woman named nina ( halle berry ) , who he meets at the harlem church rally .
she has a tough - talking brother who is deep in debt to a local gangster named l .
d .
( don cheadle of " boogie nights " ) , who also becomes involved in bulworth 's campaign .
some of the scenes in the ghetto ring true , but much of it feels like a lighter version of scenes depicted in more intense inner - city films like " boyz'n'hood " ( 1991 ) and " menace ii society " ( 1993 ) .
" bulworth 's " chief liability is beatty 's insistence on having his character adopt a clumsy style of rap as his new communication device .
instead of speaking at political rallies , he breaks into a kind of rhythmless rap style that is a reminder of why almost all hip - hop stars are black .
it 's hard to tell whether beatty is being humorous by being so bad , or whether he 's actually that incompetent .
at any rate , the rap sounds more run d .
m .
c .
than snoop doggy dogg , which makes the film seem dated instead of contemporary .
beatty would have been better off simply adopting some of the inner - city lingo and working that into his speeches , instead of trying to sound like l .
l .
cool
j .
other than that
, " bulworth " hits all its targets with wry , hilarious accuracy .
the film is like a letter bomb to the democratic party , and even if you do n't agree with beatty 's liberal message about the unrequited duties of the federal government , it is hard to deny the impact the film has in exploring the monetary and moral debauchery that infests modern politics .
unlike " primary colors " which opened earlier this year , " bulworth " does n't try to tip - toe around the truly painful issues that hit close to home - instead ,
it takes them dead - on .
