Question: " being john malkovich " is the type of film we need to see more .
today 's films are either blockbusters that entertain us with tiresome formulas , or those that have similar themes .
malkovich falls under none of these categories , and it 's quite refreshing to see that occur .
this strangely provoking story , is actually somewhat understandable .
john cusack plays a puppeteer trying to make it to the big time .
his wife ( cameron diaz ) supports the both of them by working at a petstore , which explains the obscure pets they keep in their apartment .
when cusack finally realizes he needs to get a job , he finds an ad for a filing clerk .
when he reaches the building , he arrives at a 7 1/2 floor .
it 's there that he discovers a secret portal that leads to being john malkovich for 15 minutes at a time .
meanwhile , cusack meets a business partner ( catherine keener ) , in which he falls madly in love with her .
the only problem is , she has no interest in him
what so ever .
the whole portal thing , is n't just a toy , in fact , it becomes cusack 's dream .
being inside malkovich 's mind , gave him the opportunity to basically control mlakovich , like a puppet , and to fulfill his fantasies .
i do n't want to give away too much , but cusack becomes too attached with his discovery .
in my opinion , this idea is absolutely brilliant .
it 's really quite scary to think that someone could become you , control you , be you .
it makes you wonder why we act like we do , and why sometimes we blurt out things or act out something out of the blue .
even if the script is super sharp , i ca n't help but find the ending displeasing .
it could have lead up to something more , or at least an amusing conclusion .
it tried to explain a mythology about the portals , that made it seem rushed .
other than that ,
i had a very enjoyable time .
the acting was quite delightful as well .
john cusack has finally been given a chance to prove his ability , and he does it well .
he 's by far the most underrated actor due to a lack of popularity , but i 'm hoping that will change .
cameron diaz was her usual charming self , although i felt that part was wrong for her , but
she pulled it off .
john malkovich himself continues to creep out people with his eerie facial expressions and tone of voice .
who else 's mind would be better to explore ?
the director , spike jonze , who appeared in last month 's three kings really catches my attention with this project .
i knew he was bizzare , but not to this extreme .
he too is likely too receive media attention .
" being john malkovich " is n't an excellent film , but it is definitly entertaining and will eaisly become a cult favorite .
what 's even better is the film 's puzzling message . . .
am i nick lyons ?

Question: in the line of duty is the critically praised series of television movies dealing with the real - life incidents that claimed lives of law enforcement officers in usa .
the twilight murders , another one from the series , is dealing with the case of gordon kahl ( played by rod steiger ) , old farmer from north dakota who would rather spend a year in prison than pay taxes to the despised u .
s .
government .
after being released , he still refuses to pay taxes and the warrant is issued for his arrest .
when the u . s .
marshals come to arrest him , it turns out that kahl is n't alone .
many poor farmers in rural northwest share his extremist anti - government beliefs , and the routine operation turns into shootout that would leave federal officers that .
that brings fbi on the scene , and agent mayberly ( michael gross ) is supervising the manhunt .
however , his efforts seem fruitless , since kahl still has many supporters , some of them even in the local law enforcement .
after betrayed , 1988 thriller by costa gavras , hollywood mostly ignored the disturbing trends of rising right - wing extremism in the american northwest , and that remained so until oklahoma city bombing , when media hype brought right - wingers back into spotlight .
until that time , only the television movies like this one bothered to pay attention to that phenomenon .
unfortunately , the twilight murders is still routine and formulaic television film , that uses sensationalist real life content in order to cover lack of originality in the script .
sometimes , like many american tv movies , it creates drama where drama should n't be
.
on the other hand , film is steadily directed by dick lowry , and rod steiger does good job potraying gordon kahl .
on the other hand , michael gross as his pursuer is quite wooden and his interaction with some of the actors is terrible .
however , film does deal with potentially thought - provoking social and political issues , so hour and half spent in front of the screen should n't be the total waste of time .

Answer: N


Question: i have always been a fan of director neil jordan , from his early work , such as 1984 's " the company of wolves , " to 1992 's " the crying game , " and 1994 's " interview with a vampire .
"
his latest film , " the butcher boy , " is a return to his roots in ireland , but unfortunately , it is not a successful homecoming
.
told through the eyes of a 12-year - old irish boy , francis ( newcomer eomann owens ) , this peculiar film follows him as we learn a little about his decidedly unstable life .
his father ( stephen rea ) is an indifferent alcoholic , his mother ( fiona shaw ) is mentally ill and always in and out of hospitals , and francis himself delights in terrorizing the mother of one of his friends after he is forbidden to see him anymore .
francis is the type of boy who always has a lot to say , but
mostly fluctuates between sarcasm and frightening honesty , and it quickly becomes apparent that he may very well be a little psychotic , even capable of brutal murder .
the premise of , " the butcher boy , " is one that could have very well been turned into a thought - provoking , disturbing motion picture , but somehow nothing works
.
francis is in almost every scene , but we learn very little about him , as if the film was distancing itself away from him when , i suspect , we were actually supposed to sympathize with him .
this is definately not young owens fault , however , because he gives a brilliantly accurate performance , and is able to also seem menacing as well .
the fact that we do n't get close to his character is because of the sloppy screenplay .
the supporting characters are no help , though .
rea is wasted , and has practically no scenes where he actually talks to his son , or to anyone else for that matter .
he usually seems to just be sitting watching the television throughout .
shaw has a little bit more to work with , since she has one touching scene in which she talks to francis in a time of despair , but is out of the picture just as we are beginning to know her . and singer sinead o'connor appears rather effectively as the virgin mary who occasionally gives francis advice .
the pacing is all off in , " the butcher boy .
"
although the story could have been dynamite , it moves at a deadeningly slow rate , and i found my mind wandering every once in a while .
it is also very episodic , because the developments in the story fly by with no satisfying payoffs .
at one point , francis is sent away to a juvenile prison , and an odd , possibly sexual relationship begins to develop between a priest and himself , but nothing comes of it .
i 'd rather think of , " the butcher boy , " as a brief diversion for director jordan , rather than a total misfire .
he has already proven to be a strong director , but he lucked out with this latest film .
what could have been a courageous , unsettling character study of an emotionally disturbed young boy ,
only manages to be an ineffective , uninvolivng bore .
