[Q]: usually when one is debating who the modern queen of the romantic comedy is they will bring up names like julia roberts or sandra bullock .
others will mention meg ryan .
but for me , it 's not even close .
janeane garofalo is not only the queen of the romantic comedy , she is the best comic actress in hollywood
right now .
and it 's a good thing she 's starring in the matchmaker , because without her presence the movie would be bland , unfunny , and dull .
garofalo stars as marcy tizard , a top aide to boston senator john mcglory , who is suffering in the polls .
in an attempt to capture the irish vote , he sends marcy on a mission to a small irish town called ballinagra in search of other mcglory 's that never moved to america .
unfortunately for marcy , her visit coincides with the town 's annual matchmaking festival .
things get off to a rocky start for marcy though .
she has no hotel reservations ( for no rational reason ) and the tiny confined room ( tired old cliche ' )
she has to stay in
has a visitor in her bathtub .
his name is sean , and marcy finds him repugnant at first , so you can obviously tell where this is headed .
the movie runs into a few roadblocks .
for instance , the story is very thin .
none of the characters ( except the old local matchmaker ) are nearly as interesting as garofalo .
some of the characters , like the political aide played by denis leary , have wandered in from a completely different movie .
i think the director realized this and decided to throw in numerous shots of the beautiful irish scenery , and
several close - ups of garofalo 's winning smile .
the strange thing is that it works .
garofalo 's charm and the irish scenery could carry the thinnest of stories , and it carries this one .

[Q]: synopsis : in " sooner than you think " america , the future of law enforcement resides in blade squad , a ragtag group of culturally diverse rollerblading cops with jetpacks strapped on their backs .
a dangerous criminal , however , attempts to destroy blade squad after his brother dies while being chased by them .
comments : so , what do an ex - gangbanger turned insubordinate traffic cop , a former prostitute with a substance abuse problem , and a junkie turned dennis rodman wannabe turned cop who crashed four police cruisers all have in common ?
why , they 're all members of blade squad , an elite new crimefighting unit wearing black uniforms , rollerblades , and jetpacks !
they also carry video cameras so they can communicate with one another
a la
the marines in james cameron 's aliens .
yes , it 's blade squad , the fox network 's wednesday night movie of the week .
this " movie , " marking its dubious world premiere today , curiously has a number of guest stars .
"
how can a movie have guest stars ?
"
you may ask .
well , blade squad is not really a movie so to speak but a 2 hour pilot for a possible tv series packaged as a movie .
blade squad is dumb .
blade squad is loud .
blade squad is obnoxious .
blade squad will probably be a ratings hit and spawn a long - lived tv series .
why not ?
after all , television has given its audience crimefighters with talking cars ( " knight rider " ) , fast helicopters ( " airwolf " ) , and super fast motorcycles ( " street hawk " ) , and viewers have eaten it up in the past .
so , why not crimefighters with jet - powered roller blades ?
to be honest , as a made - for - tv presentation , blade squad is at least watchable .
the film has a relatively large cast of characters , a surprisingly intelligible albeit predictable script , and enough action sequences to keep one half - interested .
i 'd imagine adolescent males , probably the target audience of this turkey , would get a kick out of it .
i tried to keep that in mind when i watched blade squad .
i can remember liking " airwolf " and " street hawk " when i was 10 or 11 .
and , although this is n't saying much , blade squad is leaps and bounds better than the last fox network movie i had the displeasure of wasting time on : the insipidly awful generation x ( a huge disappointment considering the comic book 's terrific two - year beginning ) .
but , i digress .
despite its limited appeal , blade squad has a lot of kinks to work out if the movie is to become a tv series .
one , it suffers from mtv syndrome : a lot of quick shots and weird angles continuously jar the viewer 's senses while a near nonstop generic rock soundtrack blares incessantly in the background .
oh yeah ,
dylan 's " knockin ' on heaven 's door " and bowie 's
" i 'm afraid of americans " are used here ,
in rather poor taste .
two , blade squad needs a new crew for the sound .
the substandard sound editing irritated me to no end .
characters ' dialogue , at times , sounded choppy and unintelligible .
during one important scene , a song played loudly in the background . when a character spoke , the song 's volume dropped but did not disappear . as soon as that character finished speaking , the song 's volume immediately returned to its original level until the next character spoke .
this sounds trivial , i 'm sure , but it distracted me immensely .
finally , this is commercial television .
foul language is not allowed , typically , on commercial television .
thus , do n't use foul language in a made - for - tv production because that foul language has to be censored in some manner .
in an early scene of the film , for example , the lead good guy and bad guy have a minor confrontation in the streets .
when the good guy spouts out a bad word , a driver conveniently honks his car 's horn off - screen to muffle the word out .
in a " seinfeld " episode , this technique proved funny ; here ,
it seemed goofy and cut the dramatic tension considerably .
perhaps future writers , if a show is spun out of the movie , could take a cue from marvel comics ' 2099 series of comics .
make up a bunch of new bad words for the future .
this way , you do n't need a bunch of honking horns or other silly devices to cover up foul language .
compared to the usual crap broadcast tv networks have to offer in terms of movies , blade squad is a suitable exercise in camp .
when compared to , say , a movie studio film , blade squad has a lot in common with a term which shares its initials : bs .

[Q]: every now and then , reviewers are faced with the films that are hard to be properly reviewed .
most of the time it happens with films that leave so overwhelming impact , either good or bad , that in the end reviewers must work hard to express his thoughts or feelings .
but , sometimes it can happen for rather trivial reasons .
i love trouble happened to be one of such occasions for the author of this review .
the impression left by the film was n't overwhelming - on the contrary , there were hardly any impression at all , since
i had real trouble keeping myself awake while watching it . which surprise me to this day , because the movie theatre was full , i was close to sound speakers , the show was n't late and i did n't lack sleep before the show .
such things happen very rarely to me , and , after many years , the closest thing to solution to this mystery is probably the quality of the film itself .
the plot revolves around two rival chicago reporters - old peter brackett ( nick nolte ) and young , aspiring sabrina peterson ( julia roberts ) .
two of them are assigned to cover the train collision . as soon as they meet , they start scooping each other , but during the process they both discover sinister plot involving cancerogenic milk , and also the romantic feelings they have for each other .
the plot in this film is rather secondary to its real raison d ' ?
tre - romantic pairing reminiscent of classical screwball comedies starring spencer tracy and katharine hepburn .
movie author , director and screenwriter charles shyer , who had some experiences with turning the screwball spirit into modern setting with father of the bride , tries again , this time pairing old nick nolte with young julia roberts .
however , although there is some chemistry between the two , soon it stops to arouse any interest .
it probably happens due to poorly executed genre mix , that collides light - hearted romantic comedy with
rather uninteresting plot suitable to pure action thrillers .
shyer as director fails to make the proper transition between the two , and fails in both areas , making the story cliched and predictable
.
the end result is rather forgettable effort , which convinced me not to watch movie again .
i 'll give it the benefit of the doubt , though .
