[EX Q]: plot : a young man who loves heavy metal music and especially the band steel dragon , to whom he 's devoted a tribute band in which he sings , gets launched into stardom when the real group get rid of their lead singer and call on him to take his place .
critique : i 'm a sucker for movies like this .
a young man with a humble background and lofty dreams , works hard , devotes the time , the energy and the patience , and ultimately hits it big - time .
in the case of this film , our boy loves a certain heavy metal band and as luck would have it ( yup , luck always finds its way into these types of equations , although generally tied very closely to hard work ) , they need a new singer .
his entry and adaptation to the whole " rock ' n roll " lifestyle fills the rest of the film and is really fun to watch .
although i will preface this by saying that one thing that would definitely enhance your appreciation for this film is your own love ( or past love ) of heavy metal music and the whole scene around it .
metal was one of my first loves as a teen and even though the genre of music is n't that prominent anymore , i still check out my motley crue , twisted sister and anthrax cds every now and again .
that 's not to say that you wo n't like this film if you do n't like the music , but the music and live performances from the band , play a big part in the movie , and i for one , had a blast watching and listening to it all .
but the even greater draw in this film is the standout performance given here by mark wahlberg .
wow , hand this fella some major props , as he totally becomes this heavy metal geek / god ( incidentally , metal god was the film 's original title , and a much better one if you ask me ) .
he is this movie and
i was quite taken by his character pretty much the whole way through .
he came off like a regular guy with extremely passionate goals and work ethic , who was willing to do anything in order to fulfill his dreams .
aniston was also surprisingly good as the girlfriend ( and the romance angle between them was sweet ) , but she did n't pull me in hard enough during their emotional scenes .
i was also impressed by some of the " real " musicians who played in the film ( zakk wylde from ozzy osbourne , jeff pilson from dokken , stephan jenkins from third eye blind , blas elias from slaughter ) , but actor dominic west as kirk cuddy made the biggest impression among the band members .
it 's to note that this film was based on a real - life tale of a young man who used to sing in a judas priest cover band and then went on to become their actual singer ( their original singer also admitted to being gay , as in this film ) .
just for the record , i 'm certainly not recommending this film for its originality or surprise elements , since most of this stuff has already been covered in some way or another in other movies , but because it 's a fun , uplifting , well - paced movie with a solid central showing by wahlberg and energetic live performances .
oh yeah ,
and for those who dig the " heavier " side of music , the soundtrack also rocks ! !
you see . . .
dreams can come true .

[EX Q]: one night , during a torrential downpour that flooded the streets , we went to see -- what else -- hard rain .
"
so , are we all going to die ?
"
the sheriff ( randy quaid ) asks in the story 's opening line as he evacuates his flooded town .
the answer is pretty much yes , but not nearly soon enough . and to add insult to injury , the supposedly dead , regretfully , often turn out not to be so . populating this bad tv - movie - of - the - week material are a host of talented actors .
one can only hope they were rewarded handsomely for acting in this hopelessly muddled picture .
besides the obvious hardships of acting most scenes while dog paddling in the water , they will all receive black marks on their records for appearing in this dismal movie .
graham yost 's script serves up one cliche after another for the actors , who thankfully managed to mumble quite a few of the lines .
director mikael salomon 's staging is so confusing that you may have trouble figuring out what is happening .
the befuddled presentation is exacerbated by peter menzies , jr .
's dark and ugly cinematography .
the plot concerns an armored car that gets stuck in the raging water .
onboard are guards tom and his uncle charlie .
christian slater , who is much better in his tender roles as in untamed heart , plays tom .
edward asner drops by briefly to take on the role of the soon to be dead charlie .
coming to their " rescue " is a gang headed by jim , played on autopilot by the great actor morgan freeman .
he views the loot , three million dollars worth , as his retirement plan .
the entire movie is one big watery chase with the sheriff and his posse tracking jim and his gang , who are in turn after tom .
along the way , tom picks up a love interest in the person of a crucifix - weapon wielding woman named karen , played in a totally wasted performance by minnie driver .
the action sequences are repetitive and without much interest .
they do feature lots of explosions and gunfire to keep you awake .
christopher young 's emotionless score
for the film has a single trait , ear - shattering loudness .
the plot holes are as big as the ones in the dam that breaks , submerging the town .
the characters have an infinite number of bullets and rarely do they have to bother reloading their guns .
the weapons and the ammunition spend most of the time under water or being rained on but always fire perfectly .
when one of the bad guys drops a gun into the water , it stays in the same place until much later when tom swims to get it , even though the swift water is so strong it is uprooting large trees .
counting these improbabilities is one of the more enjoyable ways to spend your time as you wait for the characters to kill each other .
the show has a single , but unprintable , good line .
betty white plays an incessantly bossy wife , and , when her hen - pecked husband finally told her off , our audience roared with laughter .
the show concludes with a sickening set of twists .
the best that can be said of the picture is that it is merely stupefyingly awful as opposed to laughably bad .
hard rain runs 1 : 37 .
it is rated r for violence and would be fine for teenagers .
( the two families behind us shockingly had a half - dozen preschoolers among them . )

[EX Q]: wow !
what a movie .
it 's everything a movie can be : funny , dramatic , interesting , weird , funny , weird and strikingly original .
yep that pretty much describes this movie .
it starts out like a regular movie and ends up being one of the weirdest , funniest most original movies i have ever seen .
it boggles the mind and some have to wonder why we can not get movies like this more often .
besides being one of the best films of the year , being john malkovich may as well be one of the best movies ever .
period .
then again there are so many good movies , that one can not pick an all time favorite .
john cusack plays
a puppeteer craig schwartz a man out of a job , in search of a job .
his wife lotte schwartz who is played by a completely un - noticeable cameron diaz who looks like something off the streets is an animal lover and has about every kind of animal you could think of .
craig finds a job as a file at the 7 ? floor of a business building .
.. you have to pry open the elevator doors open before it reaches floor eight , the 7 ? floor is just a floor between 7 and 8 .
he is hired by his 105 year old boss ( orsen bean ) to be a filer .
in his office , he discovers a little door , to which was boarded up and hidden .
to his curiosity he opens it and starts to crawl toward it , he then gets sucked to the end and ends up in john malkovich 's mind .
fifteen minutes later he is shot out onto the side of the new jersey turnpike .
he returns to tell his co - worker maxine ( catherine keener ) that he has found a portal that will lead him into john malkovich 's mind , she does n't believe him but after she sees it it changes her mind .
lotte also finds out about the portal and discovers that being someone else is good after all .
john malkovich of course has no idea what is going on , and by the end of this bizarre film there are so many twists and turns , that we do n't know what really happened .
john cusack is outstanding and utterly believeable in a role only he himself could play .
he fits the role perfectly and to me was brilliantly cast .
cameron diaz is outstanding and utterly one of the world 's most prettiest women , is made up here unnoticeable and very unattractive .
she however gives a very comic performance and this could easily be her best role to date .
catherine keener is very funny and sexy as maxine and of course the best thing of the movie is the magic himself john malkovich who is very brilliant and this movie plays big time homage
?
to the master himself .
the whole group combined gives us a wonderfully funny movie that is also smart and clever .
spike jonze ( three kings ) makes his fabulous directing debut , and did a fantastic job of directing this new classic film .
he lets the viewer go on the trip as well as let the viewer know they are watching a movie .
by the time the ending rolled around my head was spinning from disbelief of how good this film was .
the screenplay written by charlie kaufman was hilarious and often thought - provoking .
the film also had a soft side to it and even though the ending is very surprising it is also a little sad and heart - warming .
the whole movie was fantastic and had me rolling in the isles . from cameron diaz 's appearence to john malkovich 's explorations i laughed very hard , and it may as well be as funny as as good as it gets ( the funniest ! ) .
there is n't a slow point in the movie , or an overused idea .
there are no cliches except for the fact that this is the most original , inventie , witty , and smart movie i 've seen in a long time .
i found myself amazed by everything : the direction , acting , writing and the whole idea of the movie .
by the end i had to wonder why hollywood does n't want to make movies like this anymore .
or why they do n't .
all filmmakers watch this movie and get some ideas of movies to come out .
this was a surprise hit as was american beauty . ' being john malkovich '
is in the top 5 movies of the year , and in the top 10 best films ever made .
it has something that no other movies playing now has .
in fact it may as well be the best movie out right now .
i highly recommend ' being john malkovich ' and have no doubts you will be disappointed .
