Q: stendhal 's syndrome : a condition where , in the presence of art , a person becomes engulfed in a painting and hallucinates and may afterwards suffer symptoms such as depression , suicidal behaviour and personality disorder .
grim stuff , to be sure , but the subject of a remarkable film from italy 's master of the horror thriller dario argento . boasting an unforgettable soundtrack from the grandfather of film music ennio morricone
, the stendhal syndrome is a quite magnificent return to form for argento .
it follows his disappointing american debut trauma ( 1992 ) , the patchy opera ( 1987 ) and several mediocre films he produced for young italian director michele soavi in the late 1980 's .
based on the novel by graziella magherini , the film stars argento 's daughter asia as young roman police inspector anna manni in pursuit of a brutal rapist - killer .
visiting florence to follow up several leads , she is lured by the killer alfredo ( thomas kretschmann ) to an art gallery , a favourite haunt where he hopes to identify exactly who is on his tail .
at the gallery anna is overwhelmed by a painting and faints .
posing as a bystander , alfredo briefly comes to her aid and having now identified his pursuer , a strange game of cat and mouse begins .
a gripping story evolves , and a coherent one , too , which may surprise those familiar with argento 's often lumpy narratives .
the stendhal syndrome is not a simple cop - hunting - killer scenario .
it is a disturbing and often compelling study of the central character 's psychological disintegration .
the script explores its psycho - sexual themes with intelligence and candour , perhaps too much so for more sensitive viewers .
but as dark as its themes are , the stendhal syndrome emerges as one of the most artful and effective european thrillers of the last ten years .
argento is once again working in his native italy , and he fully exploits the opportunities to use art and architecture for both symbolic statements and as departure points for several brilliant hallucinogenic sequences . effects whiz sergio stivaletti serves his director well here , and the cinematography by giuseppe rotunno is consistently excellent .
the film 's opening 20 minutes segues between hallucination , flashback and real - time with tremendous style .
proof that , at his most inspired , argento remains one of the world 's most exhilarating filmmakers .
the cast is generally good , though marred at times by dubbing into english that renders speech all but emotionless .
asia argento 's performance is by turns risky , awkward and fascinating .
it 's a difficult role , and given her relative inexperience on screen
she deserves applause for her efforts .
thomas kretschmann is chillingly effective as alfredo , and marco leonardi ( of cinema paradiso , and possibly the most gorgeous looking man in italy ) does okay as anna 's work colleague and increasingly confused love interest .
but perhaps the stendhal syndrome 's single most striking element is ennio morricone 's soundtrack .
active since the 1960 's
, morricone has scored over 100 films in his career and this must rate as one of his finest efforts .
it 's mostly a variation on the one theme : a slow circular melody for strings and wordless female vocal possessed with an extraordinary , haunting beauty that lingers long afterwards .
it 's been three decades since argento and morricone worked together .
this is a long welcome reunion .
if the film has a fault , it is that the last half hour drags a little and the film does n't quite reach a completely satisfying climax .
but by the closing scenes , the stendhal syndrome has already offered us enough to qualify as one of the very best films of dario argento 's career .
* note : see the uncut print from japanese laserdisc if you can .
dubs of this version are available from various video dealers on the world wide web .

Q: this movie is based off the wildly popular video - game series of the same name .
before this film , the game had a few spin - off cartoons-
which were ok .
but the idea of doing a movie is insane .
it should have been animated , if it should have been done at all .
instead the people do the best they can with a talented cast .
yet it still fails .
the plot is completely different from the game 's plot-
i 'm not complaining about that .
the story involves the mario bros .
having a plumbing business in brooklyn and having to compete with a rival company .
eventually they find a construction site by their nemesis , which happens to be enviromentally un - safe .
so , due to luigi 's ( john leguizamo ) girlfriend - princess daisy - they go and investigate .
they get transported to a blade runner - esque world lead by king koopa ( dennis hopper ) .
somehow a plot dealing with all the dinosaurs being mutated and transported to an alternate futuristic mega - city jumbles in .
the plot is fine- better than the movie deserves .
the acting is ok .
this seems to be more of a visual film .
the special effects are good , especially on the robotic yoshi .
however the film drags and is no fun .
and it leaves itself open to a sequel , which probably wo n't ever be made .
this movie begins sort of promising , but ends up leaving a weird taste in your mouth .
so if you want to watch a sort of odd movie starring the excellent dennis hopper , then watch super mario bros .
: the movie .
you could do worse .
but you could definitely do better . . .

Q: senseless is a prime example of what can happen when you try to push a one - joke concept a bit too far
.
director penelope spheeris is no stranger to this , having subjected audiences before to such tortures as the beverly hillbillies .
marlon wayans stars as darryl witherspoon , a college senior vying for a lucrative job at a prominent brokerage .
however , he lacks the advantages of his chief opposition , scott thorpe ( david spade , in the smarmy sort of role he can deliver in his sleep ) : an athletic record , sponsorship by a fraternity , and , most of all , a wealthy family to back him up .
in fact , darryl has to work at four jobs simply to make ends meet .
but there may be a light at the end of that tunnel .
he signs up as a human guinea pig in a neurological experiment run by the university 's dr .
wheedon ( brad dourif ) .
as a result , his senses are magnified tenfold .
using his newfound abilities , he sets himself in complete pursuit of the job ( unaware that there may be some disadvantageous side - effects to having super senses ) .
naturally , marlon wayans plays this comedy at full throttle , giving jim carrey - ish amounts of physical humor .
the problem is , aside from a few genuinely inspired bits , there 's not much that 's funny here
.
the film has it 's one central gag , and pads out the rest of its length with rather obvious lowbrow humor .
there obviously was n't much thought put into the plot .
the entire job selection process is completely ridiculous .
i mean , why the emphasis on extra - curricular activities if the entire job is going to come down to a single - elimination quiz anyhow ?
and is this the only job being offered to economics majors this semester ?
to give it credit , senseless does try to create a secondary joke with darryl 's roommate , tim laflour ( matthew lillard ) .
apparently , he is supposed to be faddish , but the film never does anything with him , leaving him in a piercing phase throughout the movie .
his " intervention " scenes with darryl , however , do provide a rare , and welcome , laugh .
and then there 's the love interest which is always pathetically tacked onto comedies like this one .
in this case , the object of darryl 's amor is janice ( tamara taylor ) , a fellow student who wo n't have anything to do with darryl until he gains his super - senses .
needless to say , the romance is completely extraneous , and adds little to the film .
this is a film that desperately needed something else .
be that a good plot , more jokes ( or simply funnier ones ) , or a strong character or two , anything would have helped senseless get off the ground
.
as it is , all the manic exuberant mugging in the world ca n't help marlon wayans get this one off the ground .
