Question: i remember really enjoying this movie when i saw it years ago .
i guess my memory really sucks .
there is very , very little that is funny in caddyshack .
the laughs are few , and far between , and what there are really are n't that great .
caddyshack , as the name implies , more or less centers on one young caddy working at an exclusive country club .
michael o'keefe plays said caddy .
why they cast this unknown , fairly untalented actor in the lead role is completely beyond me .
the movie does n't seem to have a real plot , just a series of scenes that are little more than opportunities for the rest of the cast to mug at the camera .
the only real story , if you can call it that , was a subplot involving the mentally disturbed greens keeper , bill murray , who is having his own private little war against a gopher who is ruining the course .
most of the marginal laughs come from rodney dangerfield and ted
knight mugging and overacting for the camera
-- with painfully limited success .
bill murray is slightly amusing in places , but fairly wasted .
the biggest waste of all is chevy chase , who did n't even crack a smile on my face with his character 's lame zen - like approach to golfing .
there are a few decent scenes involving the interaction between dangerfield and knight , but they are far too infrequent to carry the movie .
i guess that 's what you get for basing a story around an unknown kid .
i 'm not sure what the writers of this thing were thinking of , but i really think it was something far removed from comedy as they were putting pen to paper .
nothing about this movie works .
it would n't have taken a genius to figure out that this thing was n't going to fly .
most of the scenes just could n't possibly be funny .
it 's as if the writers where off in their own little brain damaged world .
i 'm sure scenes involving chevy chase and his oneness with the golf ball were supposed to be funny .
in reality , they were painfully embarrassing to watch .
there is a scene at the club pool where all the caddies go wild for the " hot babe " of the movie walking by in her bikini .
olive oil would have filled out this swimsuit better than this girl .
everything about this movie was just completely implausible as far as the comedy was concerned .
maybe if you were drunk out of you mind or high off some sort of illegal narcotic
this thing might be funny .
but for
the rest of us , stay the hell away from caddyshack .

Answer: N


Question: there are two things the american film industry should avoid at all costs .
one is letting an ambitious actor convert one of his or her favorite novels into a feature film .
two is never greenlight a sci - fi film starring john travolta .
to wit , we present the disaster that is battlefield earth .
a science - fiction opus starring the barbarino of the actors guild , battlefield earth should be shown only at maximum - security prisons when a prisoner is tossed in solitary for bad behavior .
sci - fi is always a tricky beast : tight script , a good director , an ensemble cast of decent actors , and the ability to suspend even the most difficult of disbeliefs .
battlefield earth
fails at achieving even one of these attributes .
here 's the ` plot . '
the year is 3000 .
mankind has been become an endangered species thanks to the conquest of a race of aliens called the psychlos ( sounds like either the latest clown act from cirque de soleil or a white rap group ) .
a small band of humans dwell in radioactive caves located in the rockies in fear of the ` demons ' who dwell in the cities below .
the psychlos are strip - mining the earth for its resources and terel , played by travolta , is the head of security for the mining / slave base located in denver .
a young rogue named jonnie goodboy tyler , played with dramatic flair by barry pepper , ventures from the safety of the caves into the city to uncover the truth about the ` demons . '
he is promptly captured and taken to the alien base .
after several attempts at escape , johnnie is placed in the middle of an underhanded subplot of terel 's , involving circumventing gold from an exposed vein in the rockies to his own end .
jonnie , assumed leader of the mining slave group , then manages to attain all psychlo and human intelligence through
a learning machine terel forces him to use .
then the story just runs along until jonnie teaches the rest of the humans the basics of trigonometry , the bill of rights , how to use a machine gun , and how to fly a harrier jet .
the whole mess concludes with a big , loud , obnoxious gun - and - plane battle that had me praying for the end credits .
roger christian , the director of this lumbering beast , must have rented dune , blade runner , planet of the apes , independence day , stargate , beastmaster , the airwolf episodes , the ` v ' miniseries , the matrix , and the omega man . . . and decided to steal every scene he could for battlefield earth .
christian even shoots every scene in a weird dutch angle titled left or right for every frame of the movie !
and every scene in the movie ends with a middle wipe -- really .
the psychlos reminded me of a cross between jamaican basketball players with bad teeth and bloated hands and klingon extras working the star trek convention circuit .
travolta 's acting has n't been this bad since the experts or maybe perfect .
jonnie goodboy tyler evolves into william wallace with lines like
` you can have your freedom if you fight ! '
then there 's the script : the film just never convinces you that the plight of jonnie in teaching his fellow humans to fight and ` take back the planet ' would be a difficult task to achieve .
why ?
because terel provides all the necessary tools to incite a revolt -- for no particular reason beside the fact that ` humans are stupid . '
terel may be right , you know .
humans made this movie .

Question: director dominic sena ( who made the highly underrated kalifornia ) and producer jerry bruckheimer ( the rock , armageddon ) bring us a slick and entertaining remake of the 1974 film of the same name that absolutely no one has ever seen .
nicolas cage plays memphis , a retired car thief who 's " pulled back in " to the business by an evil car thief overlord ( christopher eccleston ) determined to kill memphis ' kid brother ( giovanni ribisi ) .
memphis is ordered to steal 50 cars in four days time or his brother will meet an unfortunate demise , all while having to elude the detectives hot on his trail and a rival car thief who feels the job should have been given to him and his gang .
memphis sets out to put his old crew back together , but discovers that most of them have retired as
well .
gone in sixty seconds does things right from the opening credits .
in that sequence , we get a rockin ' little tune from moby , along with some simple back story told only with photographs and assorted objects .
filmmakers can sometimes make or break a film just from its opening title sequence , and this one easily gets you in the mindset for an entertaining ride .
and what follows does n't disappoint .
.. cage turns in one of his good performances here ( he can easily go either way .
.. good or bad .
..
i do n't know how he does that ) , and his mannerisms and dialogue delivery carry the film along nicely .
of the supporting cast members , angelina jolie as memphis ' former love is in the film just to provide eye candy
( she 's definitely the hottest looking grease monkey i 've ever seen ) and robert duvall as memphis ' former mentor is just around to lend the film some class .
also , i 'm a big fan of will patton ( armageddon , the postman ) and would love to see him get a huge role someday .
none of these three performers are given much to do unfortunately .
some underrated performers however are given meaty supporting roles .
delroy lindo
( get shorty ) shines as the exasperated detective in pursuit of memphis , as does timothy olyphant ( go )
as lindo 's partner .
i just wish some of the other characters could have been as important .
the only real gripe i have about the film though is its conclusion .
..
mainly because you know how it will end before the opening credits even roll .
there 's no doubt in anyone 's mind that the 50 cars will be successfully stolen , and the filmmakers blew a perfectly good opportunity to add some suspense to the picture by using the " rival car thief " plot line .
as it stands , that story line is wrapped up about halfway through the film in a tidy little package .
but if i was making this film , i 'd have had the rival gang trying to get to the cars before memphis and his crew , thereby making memphis have to improvise .
.. thereby adding some meat to the plot .
the finale is essentially just a big car chase , and there just are n't ways to make car chases interesting anymore .
it 's all been done .
the chase is also shot and edited in that " jerry bruckheimer action sequence
" kind of way that leaves the audience wondering what specifically is going on in the scene .
sure it 's a car chase , but what exactly are the particulars of it ?
it 's very hard to tell .
finally , there 's a stunt during this scene that comes close to challenging the " bus jumping the ramp " sequence from speed in
the " oh , i do n't think so . ..
" department .
despite those minor complaints , gone in sixty seconds is pure summer movie entertainment .
it 's not thought provoking , but it 's shiny , loud and fun .
.. just what a summer flick should be .
