[EX Q]: national lampoon 's animal house , made in 1978 and set in 1962 , remains one of the -- no , fuck that noise --
* the * funniest movie ever made .
and this is n't just my opinion , either ; everybody knows this , and that 's why about a gazillion inferior rip - offs have been made , trying to duplicate its success .
( pcu anyone ?
and the first person to bring up glory daze gets decked . )
animal house takes place at the fictional faber college , circa 1962 , where the omega frat calls the shots .
these guys are wholesome , clean - cut , model - citizens .
. .
i .
e .
a bunch of assholes .
greg , their leader , is going out with mandy pepperidge , but since the silly bastard does n't believe in pre - marital sex , their relationship never goes further than a quick jack - off under the stars .
neidermeyer is the supreme - bozo of the bunch , walking around with his dick out kicking freshman ass and trying to impress the muff . also hanging around these losers is babs , future universal studios employee and serious bitch .
now let 's just take a peak next door , at the delta house .
over here , anything goes : you wanna throw shit out the window ?
okay .
you wanna crush a bunch of beer cans on your forehead and pour honey - mustard all over your chest ?
go right ahead .
the frat 's leaders are otter and boon ( tim matheson and peter riegert ) .
otter is the ladies ' man , going out with another girl every night , and boon is the comedian .
he 's got a steady - date , katy ( karen allen ) , but she 's sick of playing second - fiddle to a bottle of j .
d .
then there are the others : pinto , a wimp ; flounder , a blimp ; d .
day , a biker ; stork , who may or may not have brain - damage ; and last but not least . . .
bluto !
bluto , played by the late ,
great john belushi , is the man .
he 's the kind of guy who slugs back entire fifths of whiskey then proclaim , " i needed that .
"
the kind of guy who puts a cream - filled snowball into his mouth , puffs up his cheeks and spits it out , and then says " i 'm a zit -- get it ?
" the story is as follows : the omegas are getting the deltas kicked off campus .
the deltas , knowing that fighting the omegas is stupid , decide to go out with style , throwing a wild toga party and ruining the homecoming parade .
this is the fucnniest movie int he history of the world
. do yourself a favor and go see it .

[EX Q]: much ballyhoo has been made over this new version of " lolita , " made in a time when one would think that a faithful adaptation of the infamous novel could be made , over its use of pedophilia , and as such , it 's important to address it straight - forwardly , before any other ideals such as goodness and themes can be discussed , as this film has been in film limbo for a number of years , lying around in vaults san a distributor , and having critics waiting to either hail it
a masterpiece or call it anticlimactic horseshit .
when seeing this film , after all the hoopla , keeping in mind that there are people , namely me , who are fans of the novel , who have been eagerly awaiting this flick since its creation . . .
well , you just have to wonder why no one really picked it up for distribution .
what 's even worse is that seeing this " lolita , " especially the first time and if you 're familiar with anything " lolita , " is admittingly very anticlimactic .
this is a real pity because when you really sit down to watch this film , ignoring all the crap that has preceeded it , it 's really quite a film , perhaps the best film by director adrian lyne ( although , really , look at its competition : " flashdance , " " fatal attraction , " and " indecent proposal " ) , at least besides " jacob 's ladder .
"
i 've seen this " lolita " twice : the first time , i was n't so blown away .
it seemed overly dramatic and surprisingly unaffecting .
the second time , not really thinking about how i 've waited for what seems like forever to see it and how i 'm seeing it on a tv set on a premium cable channel and not a giant movie theatre ,
it really affected me emotionally .
the story itself is a surprisingly heartbreaking one , which is why it 's such a good novel , and why this is such a good film .
the story of a pedophile obsessed with a young 14-year old girl named dolores a .
k .
a . lolita is great because it 's not trash for the perverted
but because it 's about human obsession with things that are out of one 's reach .
its protagonist , the comically - named humbert humbert , is not your average pedophile , but a seriously wounded human being who embodies how we are all destroyed by our sick obsessions and idosyncrasies .
the character of lolita is almost a symbol of the forbidden apple in christian mythology , something that will destroy us but that we ca n't live without .
these ideas are all worked into this film nicely , but done in a way that is not heavy - handed at all , but instead lyrical and emotionally devastating .
the focus of this film , and the reason for making it , it seems , was to really penetrate the emotional depths of the novel and bring them to life on the screen in beautifully dramatic images , and scenes which are blatantly over - stylized .
the tone of the book is a comical one , but it 's also a tragic one , and humbert , telling the story from his perspective , blows every single thing out of perspective .
humbert exists in a fantsy world of his obsessions and desires , and this reflects the way the entire film has been designed .
we get a sense that perhaps it 's by doing this that humbert has really trapped himself into a fate that will ultimately leave him haggard and destroyed .
he weeps uncontrollably and never lets himself get over his original 14-year - old love , and allows himself to embody her as lolita .
he lets his feelings for her navigate all his decisions , and by the end , he has nothing but overly - dramatic feelings for her .
the story recognizes the extreme of this , almost out of a test , seeing if the readers will really sympathize with someone who is socially deemed a pervert , and one almost wonders while reading the book if the author , vladimir nabokov , wrote the book as a means to bring into focus his own sick obsessions , and perhaps bring them to peace .
the weirdest thing about this film is that by the end , when humbert has reached the finale of his obsessional journey , we can easily sympathize and even identify with him .
the opening and final images of the film are the same , and who has n't done a similar action , that is wandering about without any sense of reality or anything else but a deep sadness in us ?
this is the second time the novel has been adapted for the screen , the first time being filmed in - shock - 1962 , by stanley kubrick , who could n't possibly have brought the novel to the screen with as much faithfulness as lyne has been able to do , but did the next best thing : he economized for everything and came up with a droll black comedy about obsession in general .
in that film , he used the traps of society as benefits .
the studio demanded the final scene , that of a heinous murder , come first in the film so to portray humbert first as a murderer and second as a pedophile . . .
and when you see it , it gives the film depth of a man trapped by obsession .
the censors would n't allow anymore than a couple glances and subtle dialogue to show the , um , relationship between humbert and lolita , so kubrick decided to play it as comedy , but still allow the tragedy to seep through . looking at these two versions , especially after reading the novel ( and we all know that when we 've read a novel and see a film adaptation , we are bound to be angered by any size differences ) , it 's really impossible to compare them .
they both go for different things , and one has a lot more room to be as sexually frank as the novel was .
and although it 's true that several scenes are similar , and are thus up for comparison , overall it 's unfair to say which one is better and which one is worse .
i have never been one for saying the level of greatness of a film adaptation of a novel is deemed by how faithful it is , and i wo n't say that here . however ,
this film is pretty amazing , mostly because hey , i loved the book , and this film nearly reminded me of it .
it does n't have nearly as much wit ( a couple comical scenes , and even a lot of good chuckles , but just not totally witty ) , but it does have the same emotional toll that the novel had .
some of that is in the casting of the two leads .
jeremy irons , with his deep , soft british voice and gentle look , is an amazing humbert .
he 's droll in a very unique way , and , well , no one can look distraught the way he does .
he brings a wonderful sympathy to the role that goes beyond pathos and really comes up as being easy to identify with the audience .
and when he looks at lolita with love , and she looks at him with lust , you know that he 's her prisoner for as long as he lives .
and dominique swain , who plays the title character , is rather incredible .
she pulls off the tough role even better than sue lyon did in the original , wonderfully balancing the qualities of seduction , bratiness , and self - centeredness that marks the character .
it 's easy to see why she surrenders to humbert : she loves the attention , and knows that she can have her way with him at any time .
when he denies her something , she blackmails him effortlessly ( a scene involving a rocking chair and a little foot action is damn near classic ) , and when he stands up to her , she weeps and runs away , leaving humbert to follow her .
there are two other minor characters in the film , one who 's a road block in the beginning , and the other who 's a reappearing threat to the relationship .
the former is charlotte , lolita 's mother , played by melanie griffith .
in the book , charlotte is a monster of a woman : overbearing , constantly scolding her child , overly - religious , and ultimately selfish .
and she 's the one obstacle humbert
has to overcome to obtain his goal , at least in the beginning .
as played by shelly winters in the original , she represented all these qualities ; as played by griffith here , she 's about half of them .
it 's annoying to watch a film and play a game where you try to see who could have done the role way better than the one on screen without mentioning the actor who played them first .
and even though griffith is not really bad , persay , she 's nothing more .
the other is clare quilty , the writer who is also trying to seduce lolita , and succeeds , but at a price .
langella takes a totally different direction than the one peter sellars took in the original .
quilty was a comic character in the original :
a threat in the form of many forms , popping in states of rambling , german , proning , and eventually drunk .
langella takes the other route , allowing all of the creepiness to be unearthed , and the result is a character who exists in shadows and low shots , and who meets a wonderfully ironic ending , the exact opposite of what we thought of him .
as you can see , most of these are not improvements or mistakes done on the part of lyne and his screenwriter , stephen schiff , but just parts of a whole new look at the novel , at least cinema - wise .
this version is beautiful , and perpetually saddening .
the camera movements are stylized , and each shot is breathtakingly rich .
the acting is for the most part wonderful , and when we watch it , we really get a sense that for humbert , who is telling the story , the only two people on earth most of the time were humbert and lolita .
more importantly , it takes us right up the brink of emotion , then jumps right over it .
by the end , with humbert sadly driving recklessly in his car , following what he says is the only part of his life he does n't regret , we feel that we all lose to something we can never have .

[EX Q]: rated : r for strong language , sexual dialogue , drug use , crude humor , violence and brief nudity .
starring : ben affleck , matt damon , linda fiorentino , salma hayek , alan rickman , chris rock , kevin smith , jason mewes , jason lee , george carlin , alanis morissette .
running time : 130 minutes being a huge fan of kevin smith , i was expecting a lot out of his newest project ' dogma ' .
it might just be kevin 's best work to date .
it 's very funny with smart and foul - mouthed dialogue while unexpectedly it has a serious undertone to it and besides going against god and jesus christ , it actually tries to tell people that there is such a thing rather than that there is n't .
in 1994 a little $ 27 , 000 movie premiered at sundance .
this little film was called ' clerks ' and this little film went on to become a huge video sensation .
you really ca n't meet a person on this green earth who has not seen ' clerks ' .
it was hailed by critics as one of the best movies of the year and soon a sequel is coming .
in 1995 kevin made another movie ' mallrats ' that flopped horribly , thought it was not the best movie ever made it was a pretty good little flick .
it was panned by critics but hailed by audiences and in 1997 ' chasing amy ' came out and was kevin 's biggest success to date .
now in 1999 we get a great little movie by the name of ' dogma ' .
wow !
what a cast .
ok here is the plot in this movie : linda fiorentino plays a regular woman who works at an abortion clinic .
one day at her house metatron ( the voice of god ) appears at her house much to her surprise and tells her that she must stop two fallen angels ( matt damon and ben affleck ) from getting back into heaven by ways of a church .
ok now get this , she is told to find two prophets : one who talks a lot and one who does n't , however she gets jay and silent bob instead
( who give us great performances ) .
now on her way to new jersey with jay and silent bob to try and stop the two angels the 13th apostle falls out of the sky ( chris rock ) and helps guide her to find these angels .
salma hayek plays serendipity who also helps her out along her way .
azrael ( jason lee ) who is a demon is trying to help the two angels out so that they can win .
bethany ( linda fiorentino ) has to now use the help of all these people to try and stop the angels before they cheat their way back to heaven leading to a violent and bloody end that will make you think twice about your faith .
what a movie , it is everything rolled into one : an offensive , offbeat , smart and sassy comedy that surprisingly has a great message at the end , and ends up being a feel - good movie .
who would have known kevin had such a soft side on him that could make us know that he is a faithful person himself .
now for those of you who get offended with this movie really should not take it to heart .
yes it may target the catholic community and bash them a lot , but it also seems to rather than go against god and heaven , it actually goes with god and kevin gives a message that there is a god .
this review may sound confusing at first
but really the only way to understand it is to see this excellent movie .
kevin goes to new lengths in this hilarious comedy and gives us some great characters with not too much background or study and rather we start to know the characters as we watch the movie .
of course the best ( and funniest ) of them
all is the only duo in history that have made me fall out of my chair laughing and that my friends are jay and silent bob .
probably the best characters in movies that i like .
the star - studded cast is amazing and has some other cameos by george carlin , jeanne garafolo
and so may more that we start to lose track after a while .
the script was written by kevin smith with many f'words in there of course and a strong emphasis on sexual talk but he also seems to concentrate on what is important rather that what is n't and makes us laugh at the same time as we think
.
chris rock gives a hilarious performance and gets into his character very well , with some classic lines .
linda fiorentino is just perfect for her role and makes us believe that she really is who she is
.
of course jason mewes and kevin smith do a great job as jay and silent bob with some priceless lines from jay ( as well as silent bob ) .
alan rickman , jason lee , salma hayek round out the cast with matt damon and ben affleck in the starring roles . being oscar winners for the classic ' good will hunting '
they give great performances here again but matt damon seems just a little held back and to me did not give it all he could .
ben however was all out and
got very much into his character as well as the story .
the movie 's only big flaw is that it has a few unfunny lines and some slow parts to go along with it .
however the direction by kevin and the script by kevin as well as the priceless performance
by many of the cast members , ' dogma ' stands as a new classic
and i think i can safely compare it to ' clerks ' .
while being funny at times , in the end it becomes a serious movie with an important message that some may not agree with but ca n't deny it .
' dogma ' will offend people , especially deeply religious people , but for those of you who are open minded and want to see some very funny material then
this is the movie for you .
all kevin smith fans must see ! !
