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: in double jeopardy , the stakes are high .
think of the plot as a rehash of sleeping with the enemy , and then rearrange the details and the gender of the stalker .
the finished product , although able to maintain the viewer 's attention , is
a predictable and unexciting thriller with an idiotic script .
` alex , i 'll take homicide for $ 400 . . . '
libby parsons ( ashley judd ) is a happily married mom leading a normal life .
one night , her husband nick ( bruce greenwood ) takes her out for a romantic escape on a sailboat .
libby awakens in the middle of the night to find she is covered in blood and nick has strangely disappeared .
she follows a trail of bloody footprints up to the deck , where she handles a fallen knife ( like any stupid character ) and is spotted by the coast guard , who are responding to a distress signal sent earlier in the evening .
nick is presumed dead , and although she pleads her innocence , libby is tried and convicted for the murder of her husband .
now , please do n't think i 'm spoiling any vital plot details , because the informative trailer has already spilled most of the beans . if you have n't seen this preview , do n't read any further .
but seriously , the inane screenplay by douglas
weisberg and douglas s
.
cook is so elementary that the average viewer will be two or three steps ahead of the characters .
during the most vital scenes in the movie , i was anticipating every twist or ` surprise ' that eventually popped up on the screen .
i imagine the writers presume their core audience for double jeopardy is a very naive group of individuals .
most , unfortunately , will be too distracted by the moronic plot to appreciate the few positive aspects of the production .
one is tommy lee jones , who plays travis lehman , a parole officer given the tedious task of watching over libby after she serves her sentence in prison .
jones is always wonderful as an authority figure , and he 's certainly familiar with this sort of role ( as he played so well in the fugitive and us marshals ) .
judd , as a likable heroin with gusto , also has a chance to flex her acting abilities .
while emotionally unconvincing , the actress is tremendously fun in her juvenile role , perking up the movie like an injection of anti - depressant .
the actors , and their relationship together , present the one - two punch that prevents double jeopardy from derailing itself entirely .
and now , back to the plot .
while behind bars , libby learns an interesting little bit of information : a person ca n't be convicted of the same crime twice .
this law , called ` double jeopardy ' , could be her motive for hunting down her husband .
.
. who may still be alive .
yes , you heard right .
the movie degenerates into a cross - country chase , where everything you expect to happen . . .
does .
the final scenes , which could have redeemed the film , are poorly handled by director bruce beresford - whose previous work centers highly around drama ( driving miss daisy , paradise road ) .
ironically , it is those elements - like the driving force of libby to reunite with her son - that do n't quite work here .
at least double jeopardy is paced well enough to satisfy diehard fans of the two stars .
unfortunately , jones lacks some of the edge that he had as sam gerard in the fugitive , and the real depth of his character is only skin deep .
but he and ashley judd are more than welcome considering the material , and both have some memorable comic moments .
judd , in particular , has a hilarious scene in which she wards off an oncoming male by explaining she has to check in with her ` parole officer ' .
hmmm .
. .
perhaps this would have made a good comedy .
it is disappointing , because there are the makings of a competent action film here .
it 's nicely shot and choreographed in downtown vancouver , and will entertain those who are n't turned off by the woeful story - line .
?
tis a shame that double jeopardy is an adult thriller that would n't fool most children .

Q: on seeing the outrageous previews for bulworth one wonders what plot could possibly allow beatty get away with making those statements ( in case you missed it , warren beatty plays a politician on the campaign trail .
he says to a black congregation " . . .
if you ca n't cut down on malt liquor and chicken wings and get behind someone other than a running back who stabs his wife , you 're never gon na get rid of me . " )
well , there is such a plot , and
it works very well in this comedy .
beatty plays jay billington bulworth , a long - time democratic senator from california .
the movie opens on a painfully repetitious montage of bulworth 's latest commercials condemning affirmative action .
the montage is ironically intercut with pictures of martin luther king and bulworth in his youth working with jack kennedy .
when we finally lay eyes on bulworth he is morosely weeping in front of his tv , having gone without food or sleep for days .
his campaign is entering the final weekend before the primaries but his depression has sunk in too far for him to care .
first he calls a lobbyist from the insurance industry to get a bribe - a $ 10 million life insurance policy in his daughter 's name .
then he calls an associate to arrange for his own assassination .
his assistant murphy ( oliver platt ) is oblivious to bulworth 's suicidal state and drags him to his speaking engagements .
bulworth halfheartedly reads his speech at an african - american church , then takes questions from the audience .
he is hit hard with questions about his voting record .
he had promised money to help rebuild the community after the riots , and it has n't shown up .
since he 's a dead man anyway , he figures he 'll answer truthfully : he and bill clinton and newt gingrich came to l .
a .
for the photo opportunity .
they made some promises that improved their public image for a while , and then counted on the media and the public to eventually forget about the promises they made .
the shock and outrage from the congregation grows , the questions keep coming , and he keeps shooting back honest , if ugly , answers .
( before i go further , i 'd like to make a distinction that the denver post failed to make , and that is that characterizing african - americans as malt - liquor drinking o .
j .
fans is not part of bulworth 's " truth .
" that line is in the trailers but it should not be praised like the other political confessions he makes in the movie .
when the critics praise beatty for speaking the truth about politics , this line is not what they 're talking about . )
the experience is liberating .
with nothing left to lose , bulworth is no longer restricted to burping generic platitudes out of both sides of his mouth .
he can say whatever he wants because he 's going to be dead anyway .
why not tell the people the truth about being a sleazy politician - that he is bought and paid for by lobbyists , and that racism among the populace protects politicians from being the target of charges of classism ?
bulworth 's candor wins him three volunteers from the church , one of whom , nikki ( halle barry ) , he gets a crush on .
he feels so good afterwards that he actually eats something .
chicken wings , appropriately enough .
bulworth shows up late for his meeting with some movie studio executives .
when one of them asks where he stands on government regulation of movie and tv ratings , bulworth drifts to the topic of the quality of filmed entertainment .
with so much money and so many talented people working so hard , he wonders , why ca n't hollywood make a quality product .
( you go , warren ! )
when they become indignant and ask why he 's talking to them if he has such a low opinion of their product , he callously admits that it 's because they are rich jews .
that night he drops the three african - american volunteers at their nightclub , and he decides to go in with them .
he stays up all night drinking , smoking pot , dancing , falling in love with nikki , and learning to scratch turntables and rap .
the next day , he shuns his prepared speech and instead raps to the suit - and - tie fundraisers .
from then on , at all of his political appearances , he raps his political truth .
his rap is not bad for a middle - aged white guy .
he 's not very good , but it is his first try and at least he 's not embarrassingly bad .
his lobbyists are not amused , but the rest of his constituency seems to like the new bulworth .
eventually , the movie 's plot ( remember he hired a hit man ? ) overtakes the politics , which is too bad .
screen time is spent with bulworth trying to cancel the request for his assassination while the hit man seems to be closing in on him .
there are even a few gratuitous chase scenes , bulworth fleeing his killer .
these scenes may have been necessary to keep the events of the film moving along , but it distracted and detracted from bulworth 's political ranting , which was much more interesting than the ever - present , obvious - looking assassin .
still , most of the movie is original and very enjoyable , and beatty deserves most of credit for bringing it to the screen .
as the story and screen writer , he came up first with a good structure , then with good dialogue to back it up
( jeremy pikser co - wrote the screenplay ) . as an actor , he was able to convincingly portray bulworth 's depression , then liberation and rebirth .
as a producer ( there were four others )
he was able to keep the movie free from hollywood 's indulgent formulas
( except for those inexcusable chase scenes ) .
someone else probably could have directed , but since he was there anyway , what the heck .
it 's too bad that there are n't more movies like this around - movies that tackle political corruption in a way that challenges viewers to pay more attention to real politics .
after all , much of the inspiration for bulworth is straight out of the news .
just a little perception and insight
and you could write your own bulworth rants .
just do n't expect to be popular with the insurance companies .
