Input: Consider Input: plot : a little boy born in east germany ( named hansel ) loves the american music .
one day , he gets the opportunity to meet and marry an american g .
i .
,
but first , he must get a sex change ( enter hedwig ) .
once married , the two move to the states , but quickly thereafter , get a divorce .
at that point , hedwig starts writing music and meets another confused boy , who soon turns into a star .
that boy also turns his back on hedwig , and it is n't long before hedwig puts together his / her own band and tours the states via seafood restaurants .
this is the story of his / her life , told via flashbacks and musical numbers .
critique : an artsy - fartsy musical with great songs and a superb performance by john cameron mitchell , does n't really come together as a whole , with over - the - top symbolism , incoherence and too much pretension to retain my interest all the whole way through .
in fact , this is n't so much of a realistic , articulate , behind - the - scenes look at the rise of a rock ' n roll star , as it is an ambiguous , overly poetic and incomprehensible struggle of a man , his sexuality and his identity as a whole person on this planet .
i guess that i was expecting the former going in .
the film is somewhat interesting to a point , but i was personally never able to involve myself too much , as the basic symbolic and incongruent nature of the film left me feeling cold and distant .
but it is definitely tuned to a certain type of audience .
chances are that if you are a fan of the wall , the rocky horror picture show or even priscilla , queen of the desert , the elements tangled in this movie will likely strike your fancy ( some of the characters in this film even ask the audience to sing along at some point , and provide the lyrics of their song , on - screen ) .
well , i personally do n't care for those films , and did n't really get into the whole " show " atmosphere of this movie either .
i guess i might 've looked at it all too literally , but like i said earlier , i just did n't care enough about the characters to delve into the " so the butterfly represents his freedom ?
" side of things .
all i know is that the film left me with many questions unanswered and did n't make me feel any more fulfilled .
what was hedwig 's relationship with that other member of his band ( with the beard ) ?
what happened with hedwig and tommy gnosis at the end of the movie ?
( was that an actual sequence or a fantasy ? )
what ever happened to the lawsuit ? and more . . .
all of which were part of the film and interested me somewhat .
if the only idea behind the film was for the main character to uncover his / her sexuality , then that 's one thing , but as many of the relationships and situations presented themselves in this movie , i wanted some resolution to those pieces as well .
i did n't get it .
the film 's humor also did n't tickle my funny bone either .
then again , i 've seen many a film in these art - house theatres in which patrons are rolling down the aisles with laughter , while all i see is a tiny bit of whimsy on the screen .
some of these films are also better enjoyed with the added " atmosphere " of a plant called marijuana , and i can certainly see how this movie ingrains within itself some nifty visual elements , in order to jazz up that experience .
but being sober as i was and expecting a coherent , funny , musical with a transsexual twist ,
i did n't leave the theater very satisfied .
i came out having watched an existential story of a confused man caught up in a musical lifestyle , wrapped in metaphors , dramatics and more questions than answers .
i will , on the other hand , definitely hand some props out to the lead in this film , john cameron mitchell , who is also the man who wrote , directed and created the play on which this movie is based , and the tunes , which will likely be enjoyed by anyone who digs the sex pistols , david bowie and the whole 70s glam - rock scene .
note :
btw , it seems as though pretty much every single " mainstream " critic in the united states loved this movie from top to bottom ( and thought that it was really funny to boot ! )
, so you might want to take that into consideration yourself .
but having said that , the main reason that i started this dinky website in the first place was because films like this would sometimes be uniformly applauded by the " official " critics , while i , a regular " joblo " in the audience , just would n't get what all the fuss was about
.
this movie is a perfect example of why i continue to write movie reviews .
where 's joblo coming from ?
moulin rouge ( 8/10 ) - grease ( 8/10 )
- everyone says i love you ( 5/10 ) - the opposite of sex ( 8/10 ) - dancer in the dark ( 5/10 ) -
o brother , where art thou ( 7/10 ) - love 's labour 's lost ( 8/10 )

Output: N


Input: Consider Input: after the terminally bleak reservoir dogs and the brutally violent pulp fiction , jackie brown seems like something of a light - hearted departure for quentin tarantino .
it 's more of a ho - hum heist story with characters that speak the tarantino language .
luckily , his showcase of actors convert every morsel of possible enjoyment onto the screen , and jackie brown has no trouble entertaining the average viewer .
the story introduces us to a street - wise black woman named jackie brown ( pam grier ) , a flight attendant who smuggles money and drugs from one destination to another .
she works for a bottom - of - the - barrel airline and receives a minimal salary .
but one day , she is picked up by a pair of federal officials ( including michael keaton as the tough - nosed ray nicolet ) , and found with a handsome load of cash and a small bag of smuggled dope .
jackie is working for a weapons dealer named ordell ( samuel l . jackson ) , who pays her bail money but suspects her of tipping off the feds about their operation .
soon jackie and ordell are plotting a way to smuggle $ 500 , 000 through to them under nicolet 's nose , with the help of ordell 's oaf of a partner ( robert de niro ) and drugged - out lady friend ( bridget fonda ) .
also entering the picture is a bail - bondsman named max cherry ( robert forster ) , who takes a liking to jackie and agrees at one point to make the situation even more complicated ( how i wo n't say ) .
the big drop - off is undoubtedly the high point of jackie brown , in which numerous double - crosses take place and many clothing store bags ( filled with cash ) switch hands .
it 's unfortunate that tarantino takes his sweet time getting there , and does n't offer anything extremely compelling while doing so .
there are , as always , amusing exchanges between characters .
the funniest repartee is between de niro and fonda , as he becomes annoyed with her constant bickering while making fun of his iq , or lack thereof .
the most interesting relationship is between max and jackie .
a 56-year old white bail bondsman and a 44-year old black flight attendant with believable chemistry ?
you 've got to commend the acting .
jackie brown is a seriously dragged - out exercise enlivened by such fine acting .
the film clocks in at a lengthy 2 hours , 35 minutes .
tarantino 's talky style manages to hold your attention heavily , but there are more than a few dramatic lapses and crucial lulls in the storyline .
also , fans of the director should be prepared for a lighter side to appear .
jackie brown has four major shootings , and two of those take place mostly off - screen , so do n't be expecting a typical tarantino bloodbath .
you can expect frequent foul language , mostly coming way of ordell , who ( much to the dismay of spike lee ) uses the ` n ' word as part of his regular vocabulary .
the acting is the glue that holds everything together .
grier , making a sudden comeback from her reign in the 1970 's , is more than adequate for the title character .
in fact , she 's flat - out great . another comeback comes from former tv star robert forster , who does a grand job as max cherry , and is perfectly cast in doing so .
michael keaton makes his presence felt , albeit in small but dignified moments , and de niro is ideal in playing the lug - head who goes over the edge .
speaking of that , bridget fonda has relatively little to do as ordell 's bikini - clad beach babe , and yet she manages to look fairly occupied .
there 's not a single sign of misplaced dialogue or snubbed line throughout the entire movie .
which is a life - saver for mr .
tarantino .
the story barely holds together in the meantime , and we merely get a small tremor whenever there should be a defeaning earthquake .
but oh well .
jackie brown manages to be an enjoyable detour from quentin tarantino , even if it is lacking the glaring and original bite of his previous work .
let 's just hope that the director has n't gone soft on us .

Output: P


Input: Consider Input: alien 3 is the only alien film i have seen in theaters .
i saw it when i was 13 years old , and i must admit that i did n't like it .
of course , i was expecting aliens again , and i believe this was my fault .
in order to appreciate alien 3 , you need to see aliens , but you also have to wipe away all the expectations from its predecessor .
james cameron 's aliens was an action film , and many people consider it the best in the series .
i am among that group , but alien 3 is an extremely entertaining film , which critics have bashed for its originality .
many thought the final chase scene went on for too long , and many others thought that the film was too much dialogue and not enough action .
both are untrue , because the film has quite a bit of action , and the dialogue was essential and well - written .
as for the chase sequence , it was long , but not overly long , creating quite a bit of suspense from confusion .
perhaps watching alien 3 on video helped .
on the big screen , i was overwhelmed by something i normally did n't see .
it was a very dark film , and the language was extremely harsh .
i had always figured the alien series to rely on smart dialogue instead of moronic profanities .
do n't get me wrong -- i'm not saying films should eliminate swearing , but when a film substitutes dialogue with these profane remarks , it gets rather distracting .
however , since seeing it again , i realize that the swearing is mainly just an aspect of the restrained hatred in the characters .
as a result , alien 3 's only flaw ( albeit a major one ) is the underdeveloped characters .
we never really care about any of them , and i get the feeling that many scenes were cut in order to shorten the length of the movie .
there were only two characters i liked , and of course one was lt .
ripley ( sigourney weaver ) , although we have gotten to know her through two other films .
the other character was dr .
clemens ( charles dance ) , but
because we like him , the inevitable occurs .
alien 3 begins exactly where aliens left off .
the prologue of alien 3 is a pure cinematic achievement by director david fincher , who had only directed music videos before his chance with this alien entry .
without using a single line of dialogue ( unless you count computer warnings ) , fincher sets up the entire film .
an impressive aspect of this is that fincher only shows a few seconds of film before cutting to a title card .
we see lt .
ripley and the little girl in their cryogenic compartments .
. .
( title ) . . .
a shot of an alien egg .
. .
( title ) . . .
alien legs stretch up into the air .
. .
( title ) . . .
and so on and so on .
during these first ten minutes , i learned everything i had to in order for alien 3 to proceed .
it 's quite a remarkable opening , and one which will remain in my mind for a long time .
because of this face - hugger which has been hatched aboard the vessel from aliens , the hypersleep containers are sent into an escape pod , and sent down to the nearest planet : fiorina fury-161 , an ore refinery which has been turned into a maximum security prison .
however , the face - hugger managed to attach itself to one of the cryo - tubes , and is sent down with the escape pod .
unfortunately , during the landing , all but one of the survivors from aliens is killed .
ripley is discovered by some of the inmates and taken back to the refinery .
of course , you need a carrier for this face - hugger , and it attachs itself to the dog which came with the team of inmates .
ripley is revived and asks to see the ship .
after seeing a mysterious acid - eaten section , ripley asks to see the dead bodies , and then have them cremated .
this cremation scene is one of the most powerful and impressive of all the alien films . featuring a monologue from dillon ( charles s . dutton ) , a prisoner who has found god , the movie cuts back and forth from the ceremony to the dog 's demise .
it 's one of the most memorable moments , as the speech reflects exactly what is going on with the dog .
and this is where alien 3 succeeds .
fincher normally injects a lot of symbolism into his films , and
i can easily see him becoming the next stanley kubrick or alfred hitchcock
( in fact , he is the mixture of both ) .
fincher knows exactly what to film and how to film it , and i figure that he will be one of the few directors with complete control over his films .
alien 3 is riddled with symbolic speeches and metaphorical images .
by doing so , fincher creates some of the best scenes in the entire alien franchise .
many people have criticized fincher 's filming of the death scene of ripley ( i reveal nothing by saying this ) as looking too fake , but i enjoy and relish in the portrayal .
showing ripley fall in slow motion is a nice touch , but by actually not showing her hit the vat of iron , a great deal of symbolism is derived .
i feel that it would have spoiled the mood of the entire film if they had actually shown her splash into the molten iron .
however , most people seem to want to witness ripley die ( which creates a paradox , as she is the character i did n't want to see die ) .
why she is killed is one of the surprises of the film , and i do n't plan on spoiling that in this review .
>
from every alien film comes several memorable moments which seem to stick with you forever .
in alien , it was , of course , the moment the alien burst out of kane 's stomach .
in aliens , it was the showdown between alien and ripley in a machine .
alien 3 has several , but
most memorable is the terrific shot involving the alien and ripley .
ripley is pushed up against a wall , and the alien stands inches away from her .
why it does n't kill her is a shocker , which later leads to a surprise ending .
fincher apparently loves to use close - ups of actors ' faces ( michael douglas and the clown face - off in the game in the same style ) , and by shaving off the actors ' hair , the only thing we have to look at is their faces .
many critics did n't like all the actors being bald , but it makes complete sense when taken in context of the plot .
most of alien 3 works when you take it in context of the story , but when you try to compare it to its predecessors , fincher 's turn seems a bit gloomy and dark , though that 's not always a bad thing .
the plot is pretty much a rehash of the first two films , with some major twists .
again , we are setup with several different characters , and one by one , they are picked off .
however , while the first two had tons of arsenal ( especially cameron 's film ) , alien 3 takes place on a planet devoid of human life except for this run - down prison .
as a result , no weapons are to be found .
this creates a lot of tension , although i must admit that fincher could have added a lot more suspense .
as an alien film , alien 3 is the worst of the series , but by itself ,
it is an extremely well - made motion picture , with a lot more merits than not .
the unfortunate thing surrounding this second sequel is the one - dimensional characters .
i never was really emotionally involved on screen because most of the characters are hardcore criminals whom i really could care less about .
despite this , ripley was the central figure , and that 's what is important .
we care for her , even though she began to act just like one of the guys .
again , the technical side of this film is remarkable , and better than the two previous versions .
while cameron 's version was a pumped up action film with massive artillary , fincher uses brilliant camera angles , terrific lighting , and moody sets .
the cinematography , by alex thomson , is very well done , with a terrific chase sequence towards the end of the movie .
the confusion of the ending draws the viewer in , as we are just as confused as the actors who are being chased around .
the yellows , reds , and oranges of the lights create a dark mood , and by themselves create a lot of suspense .
shadows dance on the walls , and yet those shadows could easily be the alien .
the alien is different from its predecessors this time around , and the swiftness of this alien is quite intense .
the camera likes to take up the perspective of the alien , racing after the characters .
the sets are quite incredible , which are reminiscient of the nostromo from alien .
the narrow corridors and labrynthine hallways is well constructed .
the sets appear to be in the future , but not too far in the future .
one of the set pieces even aids in the destruction of the alien ( nothing surprising there ) .
sigourney weaver turns out yet another good performance , equaling her portrayal of ripley in aliens .
she was snubbed at the oscars for this one , mainly because the film was a critical bomb .
her reactions are far more realistic in this film , with her crying over the loss of the little child she risked her life saving in her previous encounter .
it 's quite touching really .
charles s .
dutton is very strong in his performance
as one of the inmates , and i was on the brink of actually caring for him .
charles dance turns in a nice low - key performance , and as a result , i cared for him immediately .
lance henriksen makes a brief appearance as bishop ii , but he was more entertaining in aliens .
the rest of the cast is pretty stale , though pete postlethwaite sticks out due to his recent turns in the usual suspects and the lost world .
alien 3 is rated r for strong violence and language , and sex .
although it has its flaws , alien 3 is highly entertaining with rich symbolism .
this film reminds you how much fun it is to spot metaphorical images throughout a movie .
while kubrick may have a moral message throughout his films , fincher relies on cinematic devices to bring his meanings out .
it 's a film like fincher 's which reminds us that it is okay for a film to sacrifice quality for quantity ( the final scene ) .
in fact , it tells us that we , as a society , have become too critical of things which may happen to look a little " fake .
"
whenever something looks fake on screen , we immediately point it out as a mistake .
but perhaps it is n't a mistake .
