Input: Consider Input: when i initially set out to review this film , my tag line was going to be " you too can believe whales can fly " .
then it was going to be
" you too can believe pastel triangles can fly " .
then , it was going to be
" you too can believe wood sprites can fly " .
finally , i just gave up trying to come up with a tag line and decided to say .
..
there 's a lot of flying going on in this film !
as our first host steve martin tells us ,
the original concept behind fantasia was to bring it out every year with some old segments retained and some new segments added in .
well apparently that plan fell by the wayside for a while , because approximately sixty years have passed since the original classic was released .
part of this might have something to do with the cold reception the film got when it was first released in 1940 ( grossing somewhere close to $ 110 , 000 in its original month of release ) .
subsequent re - releases of the film have elevated the popularity of the film to the classic status it has finally achieved ( and rightfully deserved ) .
to celebrate the release of an updated version of fantasia , disney and imax teamed up to present the animated film in a fashion no one had seen before : six stories high .
in an exclusive four month engagement ( from january 1st to april 30th , 2000 ) , fantasia 2000 can be seen at many imax theaters across the us .
after the engagement is over , the film will be shown at regular theaters .
is the format effective for the film ?
with a few exceptions , yes .
the first segment we are presented with is set to beethoven 's fifth symphony .
it 's hard to describe exactly what this segment is about , but
it involves a bunch of brightly colored butterfly looking triangles flitting about happily .
everything seems to be going great for these little things until the ground erupts with swarms of evil , black bat - like triangles that attack and engulf their lighter counterparts .
eventually , shafts of light from above help drive away the evil bat - like things and peace returns to the butterfly things .
though this segment is n't very story driven , some of the images are very visually strong , especially the scene in which the dark cloud of bat things ( who are all outlined in blood red colors ) begin to overtake the skies .
the next segment is set to ottorino respighi 's " the pines of rome " .
in this segment , some humpback whales swim happily through the ocean and eventually emerge from the water and fly around the massive icebergs that pepper the oceanscape .
a whale calf gets into a scuffle with some nearby birds during the flight and ends up getting trapped in a giant iceberg he smashes into while trying to avoid the birds attack .
he is finally saved ( by another liberating shaft of light ) and he and his brethren take to the skies and fly into the upper atmosphere where they frolic in the " oceans " of clouds .
again , visuals are the key with this segment , especially where the whales are involved .
reportedly the whales , as viewed on an imax screen in certain sequences , are shown as actual size .
the cgi whales look incredibly life - like , except for some googly cartoon eyes drawn onto the images .
one especially striking image involves the giant shadow of one of the whales being cast through the wall of an iceberg as the whale calf tries to find a way out to its parent . absolutely beautiful stuff .
the third segment ( and the least of the eight segments ) is set to george gershwin 's " rhapsody in blue " .
this segment is designed as a tribute to acclaimed caricaturist al hirschfeld , and intertwines four different stories about sad souls living in depression era new york .
there 's a construction worker who dreams of being a jazz drummer , an out - of - work sad sack
that dreams of having a job ,
a young girl that dreams of spending time with her parents instead of being hustled off by a schoolmarm , and a nebbish who dreams of being free from his overbearing wife .
i wo n't go into how everything works out , but in fine disney tradition there is a happy ending .
unfortunately , the story drags quite a bit and the seems out of place within the hyper reality of the rest of the segments .
segment four is set to dmitri shostakovich 's " piano concerto no . 2
" and is an animated version of hans christian andersen 's " the steadfast tin soldier " .
a one legged toy tin soldier falls in love with a wind - up clock ballerina ( whom he assumes is also one legged because he ca n't see her other leg extended out behind her ) , much to the dismay of an evil jack - in - the - box jester .
the jester knocks the soldier out of a window and continues pursuing the ballerina .
little does the jester know , the soldier has been deposited in the sewer and has journeyed through the pipelines only to be swallowed by a fish that has been captured and sold to the owner of the set of tin soldiers that the one legged one comes from .
the soldier eventually saves the day and gets the girl .
although the ending has been altered from the andersen story , " the steadfast tin soldier " is decently told with in the framework of a seven minute short .
some children may find the jester to be a little frightening , but otherwise the segment is well made .
segment five is the funniest of the bunch .
set to camille saint - saens " the carnival of the animals " , this segment features a flamingo torturing his fellow flamingos with a yo - yo while they are trying to perform a choreographed dance number . while it is the shortest clip of the group and a throwback to the alligators and hippos dancing in the first fantasia
, it is still well accomplished and a welcome bit of comedy .
segment six is the only segment to be repeated from the original 1940 fantasia , and it 's the one that people remember most , " the sorcerer 's apprentice " .
the story is the most recognizable , so the draw here is seeing it on the enormous imax screen in remastered stereo .
unfortunately , the segment was n't made to be presented on large format film ( considering it was shot full frame ) and exhibits large amounts of grain .
there were at least two occasions where images were very hard to make out due to the excessive grain .
similar problems crop up on modern day releases when projected on screens too large for the image to be shown accurately
( but no one seems to notice for some strange reason ) , an anomaly common to many 18-plus screen theaters .
segment seven is set to sir edward elgar 's " pomp and circumstance march no .
1 "
and is the only other fantasia segment to feature a stock disney character .
donald duck " stars " as an assistant to noah , whose task is loading all of the animals onto the ark .
during the loading , donald and his wife lose sight of each other and both believe that the other one did n't make it on the boat .
they are constantly missing each other due to comic misadventures mainly involving donald being crushed by animals in various manners .
despite the slapstick style of comedy in this piece , it displays more emotion in its final scene than many of the tear - jerkers foisted on audiences these days .
powerful stuff .
segment eight brings a whole new meaning to the clich ?
" saving the best for last " .
set to igor stravinsky 's " the firebird " , an elk awakens a forest sprite that proceeds to change the wintery landscape into a beautiful springtime landscape .
trees bloom and flowers blossom and everything seems to be going well until the sprite becomes inquisitive about a large mountain housing a strange formation .
when the sprite examines the formation , it awakens and becomes the titular firebird .
in a stunning spectacle , the firebird rears back and unleashes and fire storm that destroys everything in its path , including everything that the sprite has worked to create .
some amazing animation is present here , and well worth the ten dollars a ticket alone
( although brush strokes are evident in one scene due to the enlargement of the film ) .
the host segments are largely ( no pun intended ) throwaways , although steve martin 's clip is pretty funny . be sure to stay through the credits for a little more humor from martin .
penn and teller are usually funny , but here their gags seem routine and therefore uninteresting .
the best segment comes from , of all people , bette midler , who gets to tell us about some of the abandoned segments that never made it off of the drawing board .
pieces like flight of the bumblebee , a take on the four horsemen set to wagner 's " ride of the valkyries " , and a strange segment prepared in the ' 40s by salvador dali that never was shown are all previewed here and teased that they may appear in future installments .
for fans of visual stimulation or classical music , fantasia 2000 is a perfect way to spend the afternoon .
the film is also decent family entertainment and contains little to no objectionable material .
as i mentioned earlier in the review , if ten dollars seems like too much for you to spend on this film , fear not because after its run in imax theaters it is going to be brought out in regular theaters .
i must stress that the best way to see this film is on an imax screen though .
then you too can believe that whales / triangle things / sprites can fly .

Input: Consider Input: plot :
jet li is a chinese cop asked to help some french policemen nab a bad guy .
but one thing leads to another , and the next thing you know
, li 's being chased by the same french cops with whom he was supposed to be working .
a lot of ass - kicking , face - whippings , gun fights
and . . . okay , a little more ass - kicking ensues .
critique : very cool !
now here 's a movie that gives you exactly what you 're looking for
, if what you 're looking for is kickass action , a palpable good cop / bad cop story line , some hardcore stunts and jet li slam - dunking everyone in sight !
the film also moves fast ( a mere 95 minutes ) , develops a certain " cute " chemistry between fonda and li , has nice surroundings
( paris , baby ! )
and gives us one of the best bad guys that i 've seen all year .
tcheky karyo is the devil incarnate in this film .
he is pure evil .
they should have called this movie bad lieutenant 2 as keitel has nothing on this man .
what a great , great monster !
my favorite line of tcheky 's was when li was explaining the whole " kiss of the dragon " thing to him
and he cut him off by saying " kiss my ass !
" pure action movie poetry .
anyway , other than him , jet li also handled his " acting " pretty well in this film , with very little real dialogue to say , but enough to make us believe his character .
actually , just looking into the man 's eyes generally tells you a lot .
fonda was also pretty good , despite playing one of the most trashy and abused women that i have seen in quite some time , but i still felt kinda bad for her
, so i guess she did her job
okay .
but in the end , nobody goes to see this kind of movie for oscar performances .
we go to see jet li movies because we want to see jet li kicking a lot of ass from side to side , and this film delivers gangbusters on that front .
and yes . . .
they have no wire - fu in this movie .
. .
i say again . . .
no wire - work , no bullshit stunts with li floating around in mid - air for over a minute .
it 's all straight action , fist to fist , boot to face and all around cool stunts .
if that 's what you 're looking for ,
i do n't see how you will be disappointed with this film .
yes , it 's not very original in plot ( just take luc besson 's own la femme nikita and mix in plenty of his own the professional et voila ! ) , does have an annoying hip - hoppy soundtrack that just got on my nerves after a while ( i also would have gotten rid of the whole acupuncture thang . . . ) and will have anyone not willing to restrain their disbelief , rolling their eyes all over the place .
but was i entertained ?
thoroughly .
does the film feature more gunplay , martial arts and over - the - top kills that most recent action flicks ?
yes , again .
does this sound interesting to you ?
well , the answer to that question is entirely up to you .
one thing that i would definitely recommend is , as jet li pointed out himself on his website , that you leave the kids at home for this one .
in fact , you might even wanna
leave yourself if you ca n't handle the more violent of sequences .
all in all , a rippin ' , roarin ' fun time !
where 's joblo coming from ?
black mask ( 5/10 )
- blade ( 7/10 ) - la femme nikita
( 8/10 ) - lethal weapon 4 ( 7/10 ) - the matrix ( 8/10 ) -
the professional ( 9/10 ) - romeo must die ( 3/10 ) - rush hour ( 7/10 ) - shanghai noon ( 6/10 )

Input: Consider Input: written by john grisham and robert altman ( as al hayes ) directed by robert altman some time ago , a young director was given the opportunity to direct the screen version of a popular novel .
the novel was a summer smash , topping best - seller lists across the country and already drawing speculation as to which popular actors of the day might play the leads .
the only problem : the novel was n't very good .
it was far more pulp than pulitzer .
but the director realized that , no matter how pedestrian the prose , this book really grabbed people - that the author , while not a great writer , was a fantastic storyteller .
so he took on the project , convinced he could make something happen on screen .
the director ?
francis ford coppola .
the book , of course , was mario puzo 's the godfather .
the rest , as they say in showbiz , was history .
by bringing up the godfather , i do n't mean to suggest that robert altman 's the gingerbread man is destined for that level of greatness .
but the parallel does suggest that it is possible to create great cinema from questionable source material .
can you get any more questionable than john grisham ?
depends on whom you ask .
but there 's no question that grisham 's work grabs people .
like puzo , grisham is a better storyteller than a writer - unlike fellow hack michael crichton , who is a good idea man but who ca n't tell a well - constructed story from a can of spam .
so something in grisham 's unpublished story of a cocky savannah lawyer who gets involved in a deadly family squabble drew the attention of robert altman , who at 73 years old remains one of america 's greatest living filmmakers .
the result is a gripping thriller that , while falling short of classic cinema , deserves its place in the altman canon .
> from its opening shot to the closing credits , the gingerbread man is permeated with a sense of dread , with a fear of the natural destructive forces of the universe .
this terrific sense of mood is a classic altman touch .
witness said opening shot : we see an aerial view of coastal georgia with its writhing , undulating landscape while the soundtrack grumbles ominously in our ear .
we roll over the hills into the town of savannah , then zoom in close on a red sports car speeding over a bridge while its driver chatters oblivious on his cell phone .
right away we know that the driver of that car is in for a few surprises .
pay attention , boys and girls - this shot was not conceived by john grisham , but by altman .
this is what a great director can do for questionable source material .
the sports car belongs to rick magruder ( kenneth branagh ) , the aforementioned hotshot attorney who specializes in police brutality cases .
magruder has just won a high profile case and celebrates that night with a catered party at his office .
outside after the party he meets one of the waitresses , mallory doss ( embeth davidzt ) , just as she realizes her car has been stolen .
driven by southern chivalry , a driving rainstorm and his unspoken attraction to the fragile waitress , magruder offers her a ride home .
there he learns more about mallory 's life than he bargained for .
her car was stolen by her schizophrenic father dixon ( robert duvall ) , a ted kyzynski - style whacko who has been stalking and terrorizing his own daughter .
magruder , perhaps influenced by mallory 's decision to strip off her wet clothes in front of him , is sympathetic to her plight , and offers to help her get her father committed
- right after he sleeps with her , of course .
this simple offer of help leads magruder down a dangerous path with a black end .
he succeeds in having dixon incarcerated in a mental hospital , and for a moment all appears well .
but then dixon 's crack team of homeless commandos bust him out of the lockup - and suddenly magruder finds himself , mallory and his own children in danger .
the cops wo n't lift a finger to help a liberal attorney .
his only allies are his faithful assistant lois ( daryl hannah ) and his bumbling private - eye sidekick clyde ( robert downey jr ) .
if this predicament was n't bad enough , hurricane geraldo is bearing down on savannah and throwing the world into chaos .
altman may provide the atmosphere , but branagh 's performance holds the gingerbread man together .
an accomplished actor when he is n't directing himself in vanity productions , branagh does a fine job of making rick a sympathetic hero while casting doubt upon his motives .
is his offer of help to mallory an act of kindness , or of egotism ?
magruder is so sure of his place in the world that he never considers that he has bitten off more than he can chew until he has to swallow it - and by then it 's too late .
as the plot unfolds , magruder learns that none of us are as secure as we think we are .
and life is never so bad that it ca n't get worse . if you 're familiar with altman 's work , you 'll recognize several of his signature techniques .
characters are not introduced in establishing shots , but rather are allowed to wander in the background of scenes until their importance becomes apparent .
crucial scenes are shot from the outside through windows , making the audience unwitting voyeurs of the action .
dialog overlaps and the actors seem to slip naturally into an improvisational style .
and of course there 's
my favorite altman technique - the obligatory nude actress shot .
thanks to altman , here are some of the actresses i 've had the pleasure of seeing naked : sally kellerman , julianne moore , madeline stowe , even frances mcdormand .
and now i can add embeth davidtz , who looks quite healthy in the altogether .
the naked actress shot has become as ubiquitous to the altman film as the director cameo was to the hitchcock film .
is it old - school sexism , or a clever in - joke ?
you be the judge .
but back to the picture at hand .
in the hands of a mere mortal , the gingerbread man would have been a routine thriller , no better or worse than the countless others we 've all endured .
in the hands of a master
like altman , it becomes an exercise in existential doom , in its own way far more successful than scorsese 's cape fear remake , which tried for the same result .
what may prevent it from enduring with altman 's greatest work is a weak third act - in fact , there really is no third act in grisham 's story , so it appears that altman had to throw in the hurricane just to jazz things up .
but there are true moments of riveting suspense , and great performances by branagh , davidzt and downey jr - more than enough to see you through .
that polygram so hated this picture that they tried to steal final cut from altman , and then buried the marketing campaign when he won it back , should tell you how utterly clueless of quality most studios are .
they probably wanted it to look more like a time to kill .
and that , my friends , should make you very afraid .
