Q: "
the deep end " uses a color palette of rich earth tones surrounded by a vast array of blues .
alluring , attractive blues , but also icy and foreboding .
after taking in their beauty , the eye seeks out the reassuring browns and greens , like a tired swimmer searching for the safety of land .
the production works that way as well ?
it pulls you in initially as a crisp , thoroughly - modern thriller , with clipped exchanges between defiantly non - communicative characters .
but the real draw of the film is the submerged humanity of two key players as " the deep end " gradually reveals the melodramatic core beneath its ironic candy coating .
spoiler alert
: the following reveals the basic storyline .
i believe the plot points are incidental , because the real rewards come in exploring the mindset of the main characters , but still , you should proceed at your own risk .
with her husband tom , a naval officer , often away at sea , margaret hall ( tilda swinton ) holds down the fort , taking care of the children , beau ( jonathan tucker ) , paige ( tamara hope ) , and dylan ( jordon dorrance ) , while her father - in - law jack ( peter donat ) hovers in the background , always watching .
the story opens with margaret leaving the family home in lake tahoe to storm a male strip club in reno .
it seems that beau , her eldest , is having an affair with darby reese ( josh lucas ) , a disreputable sort 12 years
his senior . margaret demands that darby leave her son alone , only to have the man smirk at her and announce he 'll be glad to steer clear of beau ? for $ 5000 .
back at home , she tries to talk about it all with her son , but the kid wo n't even confirm that he 's gay , let alone discuss the issues she has with his boyfriend .
he does , however , get attentive when she reveals darby 's $ 5 , 000 offer , even as he maintains his sullen demeanor .
late in the evening , darby shows up outside , tossing pebbles at beau 's window like a schoolchild .
the two meet by the water at the boathouse , where something important happens .
i wo n't reveal what ; suffice to say we become aware of a significant fact that margaret does not .
all of this happens in the first few minutes of the movie , by the way .
within a day or so , margaret 's life becomes even more complicated when a suave man named alec goran visnjic ) turns up with an explicit videotape documenting the sex life of beau and darby .
he and his associate are willing to destroy the tape ,
once margaret coughs up $ 50 , 000 .
oh , what 's a mother to do ?
end spoilers written , directed and produced by scott mcgehee and david siegel ( " suture " ) , " the deep end " is based on elisabeth sanxay holding 's 1940 's novel , " the blank wall , " which was also the source of the 1949 film , " the reckless moment .
"
i 've neither read the book nor seen the movie , but i understand that the filmmakers changed some details .
in holding 's story , the " scandalous " relationship is between an older man and margaret 's teen - age daughter .
switching the gender makes the tale seem more contemporary , and it also raises questions about margaret 's motives .
many reviews of " the deep end " describe margaret as a mother ferociously protecting her son , but i wonder .
consider this : margaret lives in a meticulously kept upscale home .
her husband is absent most of the time and seems to be regarded as a larger - than - life figure .
her father - in - law is constantly present , almost as if he is monitoring for his son .
and when her husband does call , margaret is careful not to tell him about anything disturbing that is going on with the family .
so is margaret a mother who accepts her son 's sexual orientation and is simply trying to shield the young man from a lover she fears will take advantage of him ?
or is she caretaker of a museum of upper middle class complacency , desperate to maintain the status quo so that everything will be postcard perfect when the old man returns from the sea ?
you sort it out .
regardless , the resonance of " the deep end " comes from two actors .
goran visnjic , best known from the tv drama " er , " is striking as a blackmailer unlike any you 've seen before .
he engages margaret in a mesmerizing dance of protocol , chivalry and simmering eroticism .
but the star of this show , without a doubt , is the remarkable tilda swinton .
watch the shadings , depth , resource , vitality and understated sexuality she gives margaret and try to imagine the film without her .
days after my second viewing of " the deep end , " i can still vividly picture her negotiating with villains , trying to connect with her son and diving into icy blue water .
"
the deep end " is an exceptional film and tilda swinton is the best part of it .

twister was good but had no real plot and no one to simpithize with .
but twister had amazing effects
and i was hoping so would volcano volcano starts with tommy lee jones at emo .
he worrys about a small earthquake enough to leave his daughter at home with a baby sitter .
there is one small quake
then another quake .
then a geologist points out to tommy that its takes a geologic event to heat millions of gallons of water in 12 hours .
a few hours later large amount of ash start to fall .
then . . . . it starts .

Q: aliens ! !
well , that is what this movie is about .
computer generated aliens .
ok , the movie is not just about computer generated aliens .
it 's about computer generated aliens and a secret organization known as mib .
if one was n't green and running around the other would not exist as it 's known .
the computer graphics in this movie are spectacular , they make you want to believe that aliens like the ones depicted exits .
since seeing this movie i have to agree concede that denis rodman is an alien , he simply has to be .
well , in all seriousness the aliens created here are not only of the monster variety but are also of the soft , squishy and cuddly kind .
just adds something of a lighter note to the movie where it could have become very dark .
along with aliens comes the humor and in a pretty decent way .
j , well soon to be j , a smart ass cop ( played by will smith ) runs down what he thinks is a would - be villain and gets some attention from the mib and k in particular .
k aims to recruit our poor j , but that is not the whole point of this movie .
the main duty of the mib is to police the extra terrestrials on earth who have chosen it as a home or a refuge .
that 's also the main point of this movie : protect the earth from the scum of the galaxy .
some of the scum from space is awfully bad and just down right nasty .
color commentary abounds when forced to deal with alien scum and none other than will smith and tommy lee jones are there to deliver the punch .
the dialogue is witty to say the least .
this wittiness lets the movie flow well from scene to scene developing the characters to the extent needed for this movie .
tommy lee jones ( as k ) and will smith ( as j ) provide
both the action and the comedy beautifully .
the characters they play do n't seem to be wrong in any way nor does their performance as them .
i would have to say that k is more amusing than j , but what 's one without the other .
both roles complemented each other very well and the script seemed to be written for these two actors .
the story also goes deep enough to provide a proper background so the audience is not totally clueless .
altogether good performances were put in by all the cast and the director blended everything marvelously with the necessary special effects to create a good movie .
a movie well worth seeing if you are up for some lighthearted and witty humor
.
as most movies have their good things they also have their bad things .
the character development in this movie was not all that grand because it did n't need to be .
but if there was more character development and if there was some development of the alien characters that might have added quite considerable to the movie .
especially the evil alien , he did need some work .
though this could have been worked on , the movie was what it proposed to be a rather shallow and witty comedy .
that was achieved rather well , with some interesting commentary and observations .
a movie worth a view , but keep in mind what the movie is and if you are not fond of will smith 's form of humor
then i would n't go .
