Q: so many students strive to get into schools such as harvard of princeton , but they just do n't get the good grades .
so many students would do anything to reach their goal of getting into this schools .
legend has it that if your roommate commits suicide , the remaining roommates will get an automatic 4 . 0 .
chris ( michael vartan ) and
tim ( matthew lillard ) are two guys who really want the 4 . 0 to get into harvard .
how far will they go to get their 4 . 0 ?
chris and tim are also roommates with rand , played by randall batinkoff .
the two scheme to murder rand , make it look like a suicide , so they can supposedly get their 4 . 0 .
they have heard this rumor many places , and they are willing to take the chance to find out .
rand is a very , very mean person .
he treats his girlfriend natalie , played by tamara craig thomas , like she does n't matter at all .
she is very afraid of him , and she especially afraid now that she must tell him she is pregnant .
she does tell him , and he becomes enraged .
that night would be the last night of rand 's life .
tim and chris give rand a bottle of rat poison , making him think that it is beer .
rand drinks down the poison , and then dies .
now , tim pushes him off of a mountain with a suicide note near the site to make it look like he killed himself .
it does not take long until the suicide note is found , but the body is n't found .
the police question chris and tim about rand to try and find any information .
feeling extreme guilt , chris is having a very hard time , especially with his girlfriend , emma , played by keri russell .
she wants to know more , but he will not even speak with her .
will he give in ?
will tim turn chris in ?
will chris turn tim in ?
will they turn themselves in ?
all of these questions were running through my mind while watching this slick suspense film .
the events in the curve are very surprising , original , and fun .
the plot sounds much like dead man on campus , but that is not the deal with this film .
this film is a very serious one , with not many laughs .
there are many twists and turns that make this film different from most films .
the ending in particular is completely unpredictable and satisfying .
it is a terrific , suspenseful ending that i could never predict would happen . hands down to dan rosen who wrote this wild ride .
the sound really stood out in the film .
it is quite eerie and it really adds to the feel of the film .
the way the movie is filmed is also great .
all of the technical aspects , as well as the acting and directing aspects are very well done .
the performances in the curve are very good .
matthew lillard gets to play another creepy role , just like in 1996 's scream .
( a+ )
he is very strange in this film as well .
i like him in this sort of role , rather than the roles he has been playing in comedies such as senseless
and she 's all that .
michael vartan is fantastic as chris , who has extremely mixed emotions about the entire murder and the 4 . 0 . michael vartan was also superb in never been kissed , where he co - starred with drew barrymore as a teacher who fell in love with his student .
keri russell also gives a great performance .
she should be a good actress in the horror department of the film .
tamara craig thomas is also realistic , especially coping with the death of her boyfriend .
some very strong supporting performances came from smaller roles , such as bo dietl and anthony griffith who play two detectives investigating the case .
the bottom line-
i might just have to curve that a- into an a .
* note-
the curve premiered at the sundance film festival in early 1998 .
it was decided the film would not be released widely .
it is now available at blockbuster video only , and for rent only .
see you at the video store !

Q: field of dreams
almost defies description .
although it 's about baseball , it 's not a baseball movie .
although the film is extremely spiritual , it 's not about religion .
and although field of dreams is melodramatic , it 's not a tearjerker .
to really understand what field of dreams is all about , you have to see it .
in the film , kevin costner plays ray kinsella , a baseball fan , ' 60s berkeley graduate , and iowa farmer .
one day as he is standing in the middle of his expansive corn fields , ray hears a voice ; it tells him : " if you build it , he will come .
"
then ray has a vision and somehow concludes that if he builds a baseball field in the middle of his corn , shoeless joe jackson will arise from the dead to play ball once again .
and even though it depletes his family 's savings and his neighbors think he 's crazy , ray clears away the corn and builds a baseball field , complete with bleachers and flood lights .
"
if you build it , he will come .
"
and lo and behold , shoeless joe does come -- bringing with him several of his dead teammates .
and then ray hears the voice again ; it tells him to " ease his pain .
" ray thinks this means that he must travel to boston to meet terence mann , an influential and radical novelist from the ' 60s who has since stopped writing and dropped out of society .
with great aplomb , james earl jones plays the disillusioned author who joins forces with ray and embarks with him on a magical and spiritual journey .
the cast in field of dreams is excellent ,
especially kevin costner in the lead role .
costner gives a quiet , subtle , and moving performance as a man who before building the baseball field had done nothing crazy or spontaneous in his entire life .
costner gives ray just the right mix of enthusiasm and idealism to make us believe in his mystic visions and swallow this wondrous fairy tale .
amy madigan gives a fine supporting performance as ray 's feisty and loving wife , who against her better judgement supports her husband 's crazy ideas .
in her most impressive scene , madigan vehemently argues against book burning at a p .
t .
a . meeting , displaying the sincere passion of a ' 60s berkeley radical .
ray liotta is appropriately eerie and awe - inspiring as the ghost of shoeless joe , the legendary batter who was suspended from baseball for his involvement in the 1919 chicago " black sox " scandal .
and finally , burt lancaster is memorable
in a small , but important , role as a small town doctor whose professional baseball career was limited to only one inning .
field of dreams is a touching fairy tale full of life , wonder , mystery , spirit , and humor .
it , for the most part , succeeds in capturing our emotions and suspending our disbelief .
ray kinsella 's spiritual quest in pursuit of his dreams proves to be moving and miraculous .
but while field of dreams generally avoids excessive melodrama , it unfortunately does at times go overboard , and by the end it gets down - right sappy .
in general , however , field of dreams is an emotionally satisfying fantasy -- one i can recommend to everyone but unromantic cynics .

Q: the right hand man ( australia , 1986 ) director : di drew screenplay : helen hodgman cast : rupert everett , hugo weaving , arthur dignam , jennifer claire , catherine mcclements after a lifetime of movie - going , and about four years of attending the seattle international film festival , i 've learned several rules which , while not absolute , should certainly be given deference to : 1 ) be wary of french comedies .
these people like jerry lewis .
2 ) ken russell is never going to grow up , no matter how long you wait .
3 )
any film where siff associate director gary tucker refers to the lead as " old pouty - lips " is probably not worth watching . 4 ) when an australian film only awards credit is best cinematography , watch out !
australia has good cinematographers up the whazoo , but since weir and miller left for foreign shores , finding a good script or director seems to be a difficult ( not impossible -- witness malcolm last year ) task .
well , i ignored rules 3 & 4 last night , and sat through a film that should be in the golden turkey awards .
it 's as if the director was trying to do one of those classic romance stories that were done in the 30 's about tragedy among the gentry , and falling in love with people below your station , and horses .
lots and lots of horses .
the film opens with a stallion mounting a mare under the direction of her ladyship , which i guess is some kind of foreshadowing , because the missus of the house wants to have her son produce an heir .
unfortunately , said son , a reckless idiot who faints at the very worst times , kills his father and loses an arm during a racing accident .
highlights include the amputation sequence ; the doctor 's daughter , who has the hots for the son , tasting his urine for a diagnosis ; their tender kissing with a window between them ( while it 's raining -- you'd think a woman studying medicine would know better ) .
the photography is good , but i kept wishing for b&w
-- everything seems sepia - colored anyway .
actually , i wished i was watching swimming to cambodia instead , but that 's life .
grade :
z . avoid like the plague , unless you 're looking for inadvertent yuks .
