Ex Input:
chris tucker is one of those guys you immediately get a reaction from -- you either find his helium voice , crazy eyes and jerky mannerisms funny or annoying .
i think i fall into the former category ( i 'm one of the few who thought his turn in " the fifth element " as a prancing , prince - like deejay was complete inspired lunacy and not the least bit aggravating ) , but his new vehicle " money talks " just does n't do him service
.
tucker is good in the movie -- and this is the kind of film that , if people see it , could make him a big star -- but he 's also really the only thing good about the movie .
in fact , if you see " money talks , " it should shock you beyond recognition that two of " toy story " 's writers penned the sloppy script .
tucker 's role here is that of franklin hatchett , a petty los angeles con artist whose carwash scams get him dogged by investigative reporter james russell ( charlie sheen ) .
after being busted on the job for some illegal business involving counterfeit passports , franklin finds himself on a bus to the county jail and handcuffed to slick international jewel smuggler raymond villard ( gerard ismael ) .
but villard 's thugs blow up the bus in an attempt to free their leader ( never mind that the explosion could have instead killed him ) , and because he and franklin are joined at the wrist , franklin is allowed to escape as well , but not before overhearing some important information regarding a diamond stash that -- for some reason or another -- is being hidden in a vintage roadster waiting to be auctioned off at an upcoming auto expo .
the local media mistakenly puts the prison break - out blame on franklin , which is where james comes back into the picture .
he makes a deal to protect franklin if , in turn , franklin gives him an exclusive interview .
this means james must present his new " friend " in the stickiest of situations -- a formal dinner party for he and fiancee grace ( heather locklear ) , also attended by her uber - rich parents ( veronica cartwright and nicely game paul sorvino ) .
and of course the bad guys track franklin down and try to knock him off , all the while he spars and forms an unlikely bond with james .
"
this ai n't no buddy movie , " claim the print ads .
yeah ,
right .
actually , for the better part of , oh , 20 minutes , it appears " money talks " has the momentum to cover entertaining ground , and this is mostly due to the presence of spastic motormouth tucker .
this is tucker 's first leading role , and if you imagine a slightly lankier , african - american jim carrey with a reliance on wild r - rated raunch rather than pg-13 physical comedy , you have a good idea of the conviction with which he assaults the role .
but you realize all too quickly that tucker 's overstated liveliness is the only thing " money talks " has going for it .
and a lively actor alone does not a successful movie make .
it 's all too easy to pick out everything wrong with " money talks .
" the plot is recycled buddy - buddy comedy - thriller tripe that seemed overused even when " nothing to lose " employed it last month .
everything is paint - by - numbers , especially the los angeles coliseum finale , which finds not one , not two , but three separate enemy factions firing at franklin as they pursue him through the bleachers .
the villains , as many as there are , are dull .
certain story elements are too coincidental .
and too much of the film 's dramatic agenda is played too straight .
a scene where grace confronts james after learning franklin 's true identity ( " you brought a killer into my parents ' house ! " ) is extremely silly .
you get the picture .
obviously , i did not have a pleasant experience at " money talks .
"
but the people around me appeared to be having a rip - roaring good time ( one gentleman several rows behind me chortled with such expressive conviction
i began fearing for his health ) .
but tucker , at least for me , is a pretty funny guy , and aces the movie 's best scene , where franklin passes himself off as vic damone 's son at james and grace 's engagement bash and toasts the couple with barry white lyrics .
tucker 's audience -- and he does have one -- will probably like " money talks .
"
those who he irritates , however , will have a more productive day staying home and scraping the gook out from under their toenails .

synopsis : in " sooner than you think " america , the future of law enforcement resides in blade squad , a ragtag group of culturally diverse rollerblading cops with jetpacks strapped on their backs .
a dangerous criminal , however , attempts to destroy blade squad after his brother dies while being chased by them .
comments : so , what do an ex - gangbanger turned insubordinate traffic cop , a former prostitute with a substance abuse problem , and a junkie turned dennis rodman wannabe turned cop who crashed four police cruisers all have in common ?
why , they 're all members of blade squad , an elite new crimefighting unit wearing black uniforms , rollerblades , and jetpacks !
they also carry video cameras so they can communicate with one another
a la
the marines in james cameron 's aliens .
yes , it 's blade squad , the fox network 's wednesday night movie of the week .
this " movie , " marking its dubious world premiere today , curiously has a number of guest stars .
"
how can a movie have guest stars ?
"
you may ask .
well , blade squad is not really a movie so to speak but a 2 hour pilot for a possible tv series packaged as a movie .
blade squad is dumb .
blade squad is loud .
blade squad is obnoxious .
blade squad will probably be a ratings hit and spawn a long - lived tv series .
why not ?
after all , television has given its audience crimefighters with talking cars ( " knight rider " ) , fast helicopters ( " airwolf " ) , and super fast motorcycles ( " street hawk " ) , and viewers have eaten it up in the past .
so , why not crimefighters with jet - powered roller blades ?
to be honest , as a made - for - tv presentation , blade squad is at least watchable .
the film has a relatively large cast of characters , a surprisingly intelligible albeit predictable script , and enough action sequences to keep one half - interested .
i 'd imagine adolescent males , probably the target audience of this turkey , would get a kick out of it .
i tried to keep that in mind when i watched blade squad .
i can remember liking " airwolf " and " street hawk " when i was 10 or 11 .
and , although this is n't saying much , blade squad is leaps and bounds better than the last fox network movie i had the displeasure of wasting time on : the insipidly awful generation x ( a huge disappointment considering the comic book 's terrific two - year beginning ) .
but , i digress .
despite its limited appeal , blade squad has a lot of kinks to work out if the movie is to become a tv series .
one , it suffers from mtv syndrome : a lot of quick shots and weird angles continuously jar the viewer 's senses while a near nonstop generic rock soundtrack blares incessantly in the background .
oh yeah ,
dylan 's " knockin ' on heaven 's door " and bowie 's
" i 'm afraid of americans " are used here ,
in rather poor taste .
two , blade squad needs a new crew for the sound .
the substandard sound editing irritated me to no end .
characters ' dialogue , at times , sounded choppy and unintelligible .
during one important scene , a song played loudly in the background . when a character spoke , the song 's volume dropped but did not disappear . as soon as that character finished speaking , the song 's volume immediately returned to its original level until the next character spoke .
this sounds trivial , i 'm sure , but it distracted me immensely .
finally , this is commercial television .
foul language is not allowed , typically , on commercial television .
thus , do n't use foul language in a made - for - tv production because that foul language has to be censored in some manner .
in an early scene of the film , for example , the lead good guy and bad guy have a minor confrontation in the streets .
when the good guy spouts out a bad word , a driver conveniently honks his car 's horn off - screen to muffle the word out .
in a " seinfeld " episode , this technique proved funny ; here ,
it seemed goofy and cut the dramatic tension considerably .
perhaps future writers , if a show is spun out of the movie , could take a cue from marvel comics ' 2099 series of comics .
make up a bunch of new bad words for the future .
this way , you do n't need a bunch of honking horns or other silly devices to cover up foul language .
compared to the usual crap broadcast tv networks have to offer in terms of movies , blade squad is a suitable exercise in camp .
when compared to , say , a movie studio film , blade squad has a lot in common with a term which shares its initials : bs .

retelling the classic story of joan of arc has been a popular trend this year .
earlier this may , leelee sobieski played the passionate title role in the top - rated miniseries that debuted on cbs .
and now , director luc besson has delivered his version of the sweeping epic about the teenage girl supposedly sent by god to rescue france from the clutches of their enemies .
starring milla jovovich , who is predominantly unconvincing
as the heavenly messenger accused of being a witch , ` the messenger : the story of joan of arc ' is a disjointed and overblown historical re - enactment that prevails merely as a bloated mistreatment of the famous legend .
besson ( who 's previous work includes the hyperactive sci - fi ` the fifth element ' ) perhaps entrusted a bit too much faith in ex - wife jovovich , because in ` the messenger ' , the actress is drowning in a pool of her own inexperience .
at first , when reports were indicating that jovovich had been chosen for such a demanding role , i was highly doubtful that her marginal talent could carry a film of such a caliber .
after seeing the rousing trailer , my hesitant optimism suddenly skyrocketed - milla jovovich looked superb .
with the hopeful propulsion of her stellar performance , ` the messenger ' looked like a timeless epic in the making .
a timeless epic
it is not .
besson is hesitant to abandon his unique and flashy style , and the story behind ` the messenger ' is not entirely suited to his demands .
on the shoulders of besson 's choppy and unexciting direction , the film dissipates into an uninspiring hodgepodge of poorly executed battle sequences and bizarre imagery .
there is no human exploration into the character of joan ( or jeanne ) .
jovovich merely rambles on about the power of god when we have little or no insight into her visionary objective .
jovivich 's unsatisfying portrayal
only helps lead to the realization that besson sees jeanne as a piece of spiritual cardboard .
she is just another special effect in this continuous visual feast .
jovovich does have a few isolated moments of sheer power , but mainly , she looks lost .
quite frankly , i do n't know of any actress who could successfully navigate her way through ` the messenger ' without a major fumble .
the script is chock - full of laughable dialogue and unfortunate comedy , as jeanne confronts the uncrowned king charles vii ( john malkovich ) and informs him of her heavenly intentions .
faye dunaway plays charles ' overbearing mother - in - law , and dustin hoffman appears over two - hours into the story as a character dubbed ?
the conscience ' .
all three actors juggle limited screen time , although malkovich is uncharacteristically awful .
the battle scenes are extremely bloody , but with the presence of such jittery camera work ,
they capture none of the excitement or finesse of something like ` braveheart ' .
there 's a particularly graphic and unsettling scene early on , when jeanne ( as a young girl ) watches in horror from a closet as her older sister is murdered and then savagely raped by a bloodthirsty english soldier .
even his fellow troopers are petrified .
` the messenger ' is also strictly a 90 's update on the classic story .
almost too 90 's
, it seems .
there 's gratuitous use of the f - word and a barrage of slang terms like ` she 's nuts ! '
sprinkled throughout the screenplay .
i was half - expecting jeanne to invite her homeys to come chill in her crib , but it never happened .
there 's also the familiar presence of bizarre besson humor , but none of it comes even remotely close to functioning properly .
it seems terribly misplaced , but in a catastrophe as jumbled and disjointed as ` the messenger ' , almost everything does .
the musical score by erric serra is spectacular , and the set and production designs are continuously impressive .
if it was visual excellence that besson was striving for , then he achieves his goal .
but the only time the dramatics come alive in ` the messenger ' is during the closing trial , in which jeanne is found guilty and burned at the stake .
during these moments , the historical relevance and dramatic purpose of joan of arc reaches the audience , albeit in a faint stream of light that provokes little power or meaning .
it 's just too delayed for besson to revive his lifeless interpretation , in which he is always concerned with the wrong aspects .
` the messenger : the story of joan of arc ' is an unlikely and unwelcome historical addition to the hollywood shelf .
anyone searching for an entertaining epic is going to be painfully slapped with an overblown and confusing film .
despite my original hopefulness , milla jovovich is not going to have to worry about thanking the academy .
