take two old and dying men , a lifetime of regrets , a house full of sins , a thoroughly despicable man , enough lies , insecurities and other character defects to keep a team of psychiatrists gainfully employed , then add a inexplicable meteorological and amphibian - based phenomenon and you will have summed up magnolia , the newest film from paul thomas anderson ( boogie nights ) .
the movie tells multiple stories , weaving them together , or overlapping them during the course of its three hour running time .
would that the stories were worth the telling .
earl partridge ( jason robards , a thousand acres ) is dying of cancer .
bedridden , in much pain , it is obvious that his time is growing short .
his much younger wife played by julianne moore ( an ideal husband ) is surprised to find herself struggling with his impending death .
having married for money , she discovers that she has actually fallen in love with the old guy and regrets having cheated and lied .
earl regrets having cheated on his first wife and estranging himself from his only son ( tom cruise , eyes wide shut ) , now a misogynist self - help guru who teaches men how to " seduce and destroy , " his sexual and vulgar perspective on male / female relationships is so over - the - top as to be utterly unbelievable .
meanwhile , jimmy gator ( philip baker hall , the insider ) is also dying of cancer .
not as physically incapacitated as earl , jimmy is still able to perform his duties as the lovable host of a long - running quiz show which pits adults against children .
the current whiz - quiz - kid is stanley spector ( jeremy blackman in his film debut ) who is tired of the pressure of performing and is willing to call it quits .
on the other hand , quiz kid donnie smith ( william macy , mystery men ) would like nothing more than to return to the spotlight when he was a " somebody .
"
his pathetic life is souring as he can no longer capitalize on his brief 15 minutes of fame which stanley is all too eager to relinquish .
jimmy has his own family crisis as his drug - addict daughter ( melora walters , boogie nights ) refuses to have anything to do with him for reasons which are not disclosed to us until the end of the film .
grabbing at one last attempt at happiness she reaches out to a softhearted cop ( john c .
reilly , never been kissed ) even as she tries to push herself away from him because she deems herself not worthy of his affection .
this dysfunctional group carries on for what seems to be an interminable two - thirds of the movie .
and then it gets worse , literally raining frogs .
yes , frogs . assuming it to be an intended deus - ex - machina device ,
it is an ineffective one because it does n't seem to faze the characters much .
oh , they may step gingerly around the splattered frog corpses littering the streets , but otherwise , the frog shower did n't seem to change their behavior or pattern of living ( or dying ) .
there is simply too much going on in this movie and most of it is distasteful to watch .
mr .
anderson further obscures the film by incorporating a loud and intrusive sound track that often drowned out the dialogue , a character who apparently rapped a significant clue to a plot development which was completely unintelligble , and a heavy handed segment of " historical " occurances containing ironic twists which set up absolutely nothing .
one of the recurring themes is found in a line donnie quotes : " we may be done with the past , but the past is not done with us .
"
this is an absolute lie .
god is in the forgiveness business .
in fact , as we humbly ask for forgiveness and repent or change our offending mindset , god 's word says that he not only forgives , he also forgets .
"
i , even i , am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake , and will not remember thy sins .
" isaiah 43
: 25 [ kjv ] the spiritual one who keeps bringing up our unrighteous past is the same one who wants to keep us in a state of condemnation .
do n't let him .
next time your spiritual adversary reminds you of your past , take great pleasure in reminding him of his future .
he hates that .

" spawn " may be somewhat of an older film .
in fact it will probably be on video before anyone who has n't seen it will finally get to see it ( that is , if they see it ) .
but i managed to catch it before it made it 's way out of theaters and into the world of rentals
and , god forbid , video cassette purchasing .
it was n't the worst film of year by any means .
it is n't even on the top 5 of the worst films of the year .
but it did manage to top the bottom five of the bottom ten , which , in simpler terms , means it comes in at number 6 on my " worst of 1997 " list .
the only reason it does n't come in lower is thanks to the special effects , which might actually have been some of the best of the year .
performances , however , were either wooden or , for the most part , unforgivingly campy .
in fact , this film shows no signs of attempting to avoid campiness !
even the editing seemed to boast a campy quality .
i do n't know how to explain that one ; it was n't exactly choppy , but something about it seemed . . .
well , annoyingly unprofessional .
john leguizamo almost makes it as clown , but not quite .
he is the only character who provides the audience with any laughs that can honestly be called intentional .
but the main problem i found with " spawn " , as with most films that wind up on my " worst of " lists , is that it was just plain boring
.
i would n't even say there was a climax to the film .
sure , it had the big battle scene at the end , but the only excitement felt
was that the movie might be nearing a conclusion .
never too soon , the movie did conclude in a very simple , disappointing way .
even though it 's one of the shorter movies i 've seen this year , it 's one that i would definitely not want to subject myself to sitting thru again .
like i said , the special effects are the only reason that this film should have any sense of pride , no matter how small .
i was impressed with the opening sequence , so long as i did n't allow the melodramatic voice - over and lobotomizing editing
to get to me .
and batman has nothing on the spectacular visuals spawn 's outfit created .
but even the effects got tiresome during the final scenes , which looked quite a bit like a modern video game .
who knows if " spawn : the video game " was n't part of the plan from the beginning ?
keeping in mind that the film was based on a comic book makes it somewhat more approachable , and in a very small amount , makes up for the cheeziness of it all .
but none of this movie 's saving graces can it make it something
i 'd recommend seeing , no matter what the price of admission .
this movie is definitely not for young children , which should n't really be a problem seeing as how only teenagers , if anyone , would likely find it appealing .
if you really want to catch a movie , there are many better ones out there ,
no matter what your tastes might be !
trust me !
" spawn
" has very little to offer even the most avid moviegoers !

Ex Input:
one of the biggest cliches of any serial killer film is also one of the most believable .
you know , the one where the detective looks at a wall of pictures and other police information , and suddenly spots the clue which reveals who the killer is .
sure , it 's been used over and over , but for some reason , it is always fun to watch .
this cliche pretty much describes the level kiss the girls works on : overused , but always fun .
one of my personal rules about watching a film is not how original the film is , but how it goes around giving its story .
this rule applies highly to kiss the girls .
there is something psychologically stimulating in a well - crafted serial killer movie , and kiss the girls is certainly well made .
however , the whole film screams of unoriginality , and so it relies on the power of its actors and the technical detail to pull it through .
well , not only are the actors capable of pulling it through , but they add so much to the film that nearly every flaw is covered up .
unfortunately , one of the most revealing and rather insulting choices by the filmmakers ( one that seven , a film a lot like this one , knew not to make ) was to put the name of the killer in the opening credits .
that may give the actor credit for the role , but throughout the film , hidden in my mind , i was waiting for him to appear on screen , which spoiled the mystery .
however , credit must be given to the director for suspending this knowledge through most of the film .
plotwise , kiss the girls shows almost no originality .
we are introduced to detective alex cross ( morgan freeman ) , a forensic psychologist , and immediately we are given the cliched scene establishing him as the hero .
he gets a call about a woman who has shot her husband and is now threatening to kill herself .
obviously cross succeeds at getting the gun , but this scene is quickly forgotten during the next scene .
at his house , cross is told that his neice , naomi ( gina ravera ) , has been missing for four days .
this provides the motivation for cross to find the killer , but we are never given a chance to establish the relationship between the two , and as a result , we ca n't sympathize with detective cross .
however , what makes kiss the girls slightly original is the introduction of one of the abductees .
. .
before she is abducted .
dr .
kate mctiernan ( ashley judd , the actress of the judd family )
is a smart , athletic woman , and because of these traits , becomes a target for casanova -- what the serial killer likes to call himself .
because of these character - developing scenes , we care for mctiernan , making the abduction scene all that more suspenseful .
after being abducted , mctiernan wakes up and finds herself in a cell somewhere in the woods .
remembering that the killer gave her certain rules , she decides to break one of them by calling out .
when casanova comes to punish her , she breaks out and escapes by jumping over a waterfall .
after she is found , she begins to help cross find his neice .
from this moment on , kiss the girls takes on the form of every other serial killer film , as the two leads search for the rest of the victims held captive .
many people will compare this film to 1995 's seven , another killer film starring morgan freeman , but i presume that the similarities are intentional .
the screenplay , by david klass , is adapted from the novel written by james patterson , and yet i do n't quite see how this story could have worked in novel form .
what makes kiss the girls so good is the acting and the technical and visual impressiveness .
the cinematography , by aaron schneider , is reminiscient of seven , and sometimes i felt that many of the shots were trying too hard to impress us .
sometimes a simple shot is the best one . however , many of the shots are stunning , and unlike seven , most of them take place during the day , in sunlight .
the scene when ashley judd is running through the forest is extremely well done , in more than one way .
the camera work is terrific , but the editing makes this scene work so well .
the chaotic and mtv - type cutting gives the audience a sense of confusion and unawareness , exactly what judd 's character is experiencing .
however , the best aspect of kiss the girls is its actors .
morgan freeman is one of today 's most powerful and believable actors .
detective cross is a very good character for him , although it is just a similar one to the character in seven .
because of freeman 's powerful presence , he carries half the film by himself .
the other half is carried by ashley judd ,
one of today 's most promising dramatic actresses .
in fact , her performance is better than freeman 's , if that is even possible .
her character is more original than freeman 's , and she handles it wonderfully .
we finally have a female character in a movie like this who does more than just scream .
the supporting cast is highly underdeveloped , but the cast members do as much as they can with it .
cary elwes portrays a cop in north carolina , and unfortunately has scraps for a character .
tony goldwyn fairs slightly better , but
we do n't really get to know his character either .
gina ravera gives a good performance , but again she is n't in many of the scenes .
so as a result of all these small supporting parts , the weight of the film lies on the two leads , and they do a phenomenal job .
some of the best acting of this genre , and some of the best acting of the year .
two other essential aspects of the film are quite good .
director gary fleder does a good job of controlling his actors , but the second half of the film loses believability , especially during the revelation of the killer .
he also does n't handle the suspenseful scenes as a better director would have , losing a lot of tension during many scenes . however , to his credit , he does manage a terrific first half .
part of the blame falls on david klass .
i 'm sure the book developed many of the lesser characters more , but klass focuses on the two main parts .
while this may give the two leads more screentime , many of the small characters are one - dimensional , and the killer , when revealed , is extremely implausible .
thanks to the smart dialogue adapted from the novel , kiss the girls
always seems intelligent .
none of the conversations are laughable , and all move the plot forward without seeming forced .
one of the biggest problems i had with the movie was the motive of the killer .
i blame this mainly on the casting director , because the killer 's motive is because of rejection from women ( or so i assume from the opening monologue ) , but the killer himself is very attractive ( one of my friends is a , shall we say , big admirer of the killer ) .
kiss the girls is rated r for terror , violence , language , and suggested sex .
with all the implausibilities of this film , and with the mediocre second half , kiss the girls somehow manages to thoroughly entertain
.
in fact , i had the urge to see it again just for the performances .
the cinematography adds a lot of mood to the already creepy tone , and the script is usually smart .
this is clearly one of those movies which rely on the acting to pull it through .
morgan freeman is possibly today 's most convincing actor , and ashley judd adds another notch on her acting belt .
i must also say that i loved the ending .
the showdown between good and evil was quite tense , and the resolution of the scene makes almost anyone cheer .
perhaps it may not be possible , but most of the film is n't anyway .
