[Q]: ready to rumble is not a masterpiece in film ; i have a problem even regarding it as a film .
it 's more of a show , a big commercial for ted turner 's world championship wrestling ( wcw ) .
the movie is almost entirely about and fully showcases the wrestlers of the wcw like diamond dallas page , goldberg , and sting .
the story is very minimal and basic .
there are these two guys , gordy ( david arquette ) and sean ( scott caan ) .
they are two twenty - something wrestling fans from wyoming .
when they go to a live event for the big match up , there favorite wrestler jimmy king ( oliver platt ) is defeated and his career is announced to be over by the mean commissioner titus ( joe pantoliano ) .
gordy and sean decide to go on a quest to find jimmy and bring him back to the top and defeat the evil titus ' plans .
on the way , they meet some people , have some fun , and clean up some port - o - potties .
sounds great huh
, well it 's not .
the movie makes many attempts at humor , only a few of them work .
the jokes that make you laugh , however , do not outnumber the film 's many duds .
there is a funny repertoire between arquette and a convenience store cashier played by ahmet zappa .
the cashier is very mean to arquette so arquette dreams of ways to get him back .
i especially enjoyed one version in which they have a wrestling match and arquette 's tag team partner is ' macho man ' randy savage .
they wrestle between the aisles knocking over cans and getting body slammed on the floor .
the other good part of the film is the sexual confrontation between arquette and rose mcgowan .
mcgowan plays sasha the head nitro girl , the cheerleaders of the wcw .
she becomes attracted to gordy and they have some nice , funny scenes together especially one scene in which arquette calls mcgowan 's breasts foreign objects than punches her directly into the face .
now what did n't work in this movie ?
that would be the rest of it .
the flick was filled with stupid potty humor about farts and toilets .
the two lead characters work for a port - o - potty cleaning company and when they crash the truck , the excrements spill all over the road .
it 's not funny ; it 's pathetic and brainless .
the film is giving homage to how blindly faithful of their wrestlers but not all wrestling fans are that way .
i watch it for entertainment
and i would think some people would take offense to what is said throughout the movie .
the main characters in the film actually get to wrestle , like that would happen to any fan , especially to 2 that stalk a wrestler and sneak him back onto set .
also , i wondered how they got into the backstage so easily ; they just walked right in .
i like wrestling .
i watch it at home and laugh .
it 's continuously funny and has great characters
otherwise i would n't watch it .
this movie was n't even funny or fun to watch like the wrestling on tv .
the only fun i had in the movie was pointing out the wrestlers i knew .
the funny thing was that many of the wcw featured wrestlers like saturn and chris benoit have left wcw for more money but are still featured in the film prominently .
the movie was too dim - witted to be funny .
it is possibly the most useless and under - developed film ever .
a recent film in this genre of fans would be the kiss fan film , detroit rock city .
that movie was interesting , well done and continuously funny unlike this film .
the acting was good plus the jokes had humor and made you laugh .
now that the scream trilogy is over , arquette has nothing else to do so
he has to do crap like this and be a spokesman in those dumb 1 - 800-call - att ads .
at least he has a hot wife in courtney cox .
he 's in the funny parts of the film but there are n't enough to make him look good .
the music was bad
also feature such overplayed tunes as kid rock 's " bawitdaba " and " cowboy " .
martin landau has a great cameo as a classic , hard - nosed wrestling trainer named sal that whips the king back into shape to regain his throne .
script is important to a film but this piece of crap could have been made with a couple of scribblings on a napkin .
a fan of the wrestlers who are featured in the film probably wrote it .
at times the movie even tries to show wrestling as real .
the wrestlers form alliances , go to people 's houses and beat them up .
it 's utterly ridiculous .
the whole film was a wasteful , dumfounding experience .
the movie was made to pay homage to the fans , telling them things that made wrestling , not the wrestlers .
the wrestlers are making more money to make a movie to thank the fans for begin fans by paying 5 dollars to see a potty - humor movie .
the wcw sucks and this movie is just a pathetic two - hour commercial to watch it .
if you 're going to watch wrestling watch wwf , it 's actually entertaining .
the wrestling is betters , they 're funnier , more diverse , and have better entrance themes .
oh and the girls are hotter .
is this what movies have become , 2 hour - long commercials that you have to pay to see ?
do n't waste your money .

[Q]: talk about beating a dead horse !
when home alone was released in 1990 , it was a breath of fresh air , and the final box office tally indicated how much audiences appreciated a genuinely - funny family film .
the unexpectedly high gross guaranteed a sequel , so ,
two years later , we were subjected to home alone 2 , which might as well have been called clone alone for all of the originality it exhibited .
for john hughes , two home alone movies were n't enough ?
he began recycling the same kinds of villains and situations in almost every movie he was involved with , including a pathetic box office bomb called baby 's day out , last year 's live - action 101 dalmatians , and this year 's flubber .
now , inexplicably , hughes has exhumed not only these worn - out plot elements , but the " home alone " name as well . the result ?
1997 's worst sequel
( edging out speed 2 and batman and robin ) , home alone 3 . by changing the characters , hughes ( who wrote and co - produced the film ) , along with his co - conspirator , director raja gosnell , has attempted to inject new life into a series that is way past the point of cardiac arrest .
the new kid , alex pruitt , is played by alex d .
linz ( one fine day ) , and
the only thing he has going for him is terminal cuteness .
he 's not half as interesting as macaulay culkin once was .
the villains , pale copies of joe pesci and daniel stern , are even less engaging than the pair of idiots in flubber .
in home alone 3 , there are four of them ( olek krupa , david thornton , lenny von dohlen , and rya kihlstedt ) , but all that means is an opportunity for twice as many pratfalls .
this time , the kid is n't left home alone because his parents have gone on a trip .
instead , he has developed a bad case of chicken pox , so he ca n't go to school .
his dad ( kevin kilner ) is away on business and his mom ( haviland morris ) has to run errands , so , for the most part , he 's all by himself during the day .
through a series of coincidences too irritating to relate , a top secret u . s .
air force integrated circuit comes into his possession .
it 's wanted by a gang of four international crooks who intend to break into alex 's home to retrieve it .
the eight- year old , who is wise beyond his years , booby traps the house with all sorts of rube goldberg - type devices designed to humiliate and incapacitate the villains .
the movie 's climax takes place during a raging snowstorm ?
only none of the falling flakes looks remotely believable .
previously , the most counterfeit - looking snow effects i can remember were in star
trek iii .
these are far worse .
in fact , the production values are so shoddy that there are some scenes in the midst of this near - blizzard when a shining sun can be seen .
if it 's a wonderful life could generate real- looking snow back in the 1940s , why ca n't home alone 3 , which has a significantly larger budget and ' 90s technology at its disposal ?
there has been an ongoing debate regarding the appropriateness of live - action cartoon violence for young children .
home alone 3 will add fuel to the fire .
it 's one thing to see wyle e . coyote flattened by a 10 ton acme weight , but quite another to watch a running lawn mower fall on
lenny von dohlen .
adults and even older children will recognize that this is obviously fake and intended to be humorous , but what about five and six - year olds ?
the level of violence in home alone 3 is extreme ?
many of alex 's schemes are nasty enough to kill .
but , because this is a " family film , " no one dies , despite being electrocuted , falling thirty feet , and getting smacked on the head by a barbell .
not only is home alone 3 unnecessary , but it 's offensive .
it 's an exercise in tediousness , and there is n't a genuine laugh to be found from the beginning to the end ( unless , by some strange quirk of fate , you have missed every 1990s movie associated with john hughes , and thus have n't seen this stuff before ) .
i ca n't imagine anyone with a reasonable attention span being more than momentarily distracted by this pointless adventure .
maybe that 's why the only ones laughing at the screening i attended were still in their thumb - sucking years .

[Q]: in one scene from " the people vs .
larry flynt ,
" the hustler magazine publisher appears at a self - staged free speech rally .
as graphic photos flash on a huge screen behind him , flynt strides confidently across the stage , delivering a rousing speech over what really constitutes obscenity .
the spectacle was reminiscent of the scene in " patton " where the general spoke in front of a giant american flag .
both scenes were stirring , larger than life , richly entertaining , and felt totally like contrived set pieces for big hollywood movies .
overall , that sums up " the people vs .
larry flynt .
"
the film is a wildly entertaining hoot which , despite being based on fact , feels like a big , phony hollywood movie .
the son of a kentucky moonshiner , flynt ( woody harrelson ) ran away from home and ended up operating strip clubs in cincinnati .
there he met althea leasure ( courtney love ) , a bisexual stripper who became his fourth wife and the love of his life .
to bolster interest in his clubs , he started a sexually explicit newsletter that grew into hustler magazine .
flynt , along with the magazine 's rag - tag management team , headed by his brother jimmy ( played nicely by woody 's real - life brother , steak & shake commercial veteran brett harrelson ) , viewed playboy magazine with contempt .
they mocked its slick articles and airbrushed photos , striving to keep hustler focused on " what guys really want , " explicit photos that would make a gynecologist squirm , and extremely crude humor .
the film 's prime example of hustler 's attitude is a cartoon depicting characters from the wizard of oz in an orgy , giving the audience an opportunity to giggle at flynt 's " naughtiness .
" director milos forman conveniently ignores the magazine 's frequent attempts to derive humor from child molestation , racism , and endless scatological cartoons .
flynt 's rag labored in well - deserved obscurity until he published nude photos of jacqueline onassis , which brought the magazine international attention , big money and the attention of conservatives .
an obscenity bust followed , the first in a long series of battles between flynt and the law .
lawyer alan isaacman ( edward norton ) enters the scene , hired by flynt 's wife .
norton ,
an exceptional actor , is wonderful as the beleaguered lawyer trying to navigate the legal system while dealing with flynt 's increasingly childish and bizarre behavior .
in court , we meet the sputtering conservatives , headed by citizens for decency leader charles keating ( james cromwell . )
as keating blathers about flynt 's immorality , the camera slowly moves in for a close - up of his name tag , inviting the audience to gloat at the notion of morality being trumpeted by keating , who was later convicted in a $ 2 billion s&l fraud .
flynt 's other prime foe is rev .
jerry falwell , who sues over a hustler parody involving him and his mother having sex in an outhouse .
tragedy strikes as flynt is shot by a would - be assassin , leaving him paralyzed from the waist down .
a dark period follows , as flynt and leasure hole up in an l .
a . suite , strung out on pain killers .
flynt eventually kicks drugs , but leasure succumbs to addiction , and later , aids .
after watch falwell on tv , describing aids as a punishment from god , flynt directs his lawyer to take the falwell case to the supreme court , leading to the film 's climactic courtroom scene .
"
the people vs , larry flynt " is at its weakest when moralizing on free speech and lionizing flynt .
"
if they 'll protect a scumbag like me , then they 'll protect all of you , " declared flynt .
he 's right , of course , but the director forman cheats in portraying the opposition as little more than hypocritical buffoons .
he also cheats in casting woody harrelson as flynt .
harrelson is an attractive , charismatic man , and his strong performance paints flynt as a colorful folk hero .
even a cursory look at the real flynt , who is making the talk show circuit , and plays the judge in an early courtroom scene , shows a bloated , morose and bitter man .
an accurate portrayal of flynt would have made a more difficult film to watch , but a richer one . despite its flaws , " flynt " is a fast moving , rousing movie with some terrific acting , especially by courtney love , whose vibrant performance will likely garner an oscar nod
.
the story may be candy - coated , but it 's still delicious candy .
