[Q]: tom dicillo directs this superficial comedy about superficial people in superficial careers , all searching for deeper meaning .
however , they wo n't find much meaning in the real blonde , and not enough real humor , either .
joe ( matthew modine ) is a struggling actor , or he claims to be one , even though he has no credits under his belt .
his girlfriend , mary ( catherine keener ) has no pretensions about her career : she 's a makeup artist , working for the eccentric fashion photographer blair ( marlo thomas ) and supermodel of the month , sahara ( bridgette wilson ) .
sahara , who has acquired a new age spirituality from repeated viewing of the little mermaid , has an on - again , off - again relationship with joe 's best friend , bob ( maxwell caulfield ) .
however , bob has gotten his biggest break yet : a starring role on a soap opera opposite the beautiful kelly ( daryl hannah ) , who may be that illusive woman he 's always pursued : a real blonde .
there are some moments of good humor in the real blonde , but not enough .
the best stuff is in throwaway details in the background , such as sahara 's perfume ads : " depression -
it 's not just a state of mind " .
but to find humor in the superficiality of models and actors is to shoot fish in a barrel . and ,
unfortunately , the film 's forays outside the realm of comedy are pathetic .
take for example the film 's framing device of an old lady and her dog .
the story serves absolutely no purpose , makes little sense , and is completely tangential to the main plotlines of the movie .
matthew modine and catherine keener have the most sympathetic characters in the film , but they 're stuck in the most boring plotlines .
modine whines and complains and would be completely pathetic if he was matched against someone stronger than elizabeth berkley , who appears as another struggling actor .
keener 's character has a stronger edge , but the insult self - defense class ( taught by denis leary , no less ) she is stuck in makes little sense .
the movie 's running time is under two hours , but it seems like it is well over it .
there 's just not enough humor to speed things along , and not enough meaning to propel any drama .

[Q]: bruce lee was a bigger - than - life martial artist ( and ) actor .
bruce 's unique character ( i .
e . ,
self - produced sound effects , etc . ) and seemingly perfected martial art and physique were all well portrayed by the actor , james lee .
the story is told from his wife linda 's point of view where she put a lot of family and practical side of bruce lee 's life .
however , you ca n't help
but like , whenever the fight scenes are on , what he can does with his body and that familiar bruce attitude and character .
i also like the little bits of insight scenes about bruce lee 's life before he became famous : scenes like bruce practicing pronunciation of english .
it seemed as if he was no better than anybody else .
scenes like bruce delivering chinese food as a delivery boy ridding a bike through the american college looking at the ( all - white ) students , cheerleaders , and athletes .
it seemed he too wished for the american dreams and hopes .
in conclusion , the movie was well made
, it produced a realization of who bruce lee was , and actor james lee was so much like bruce you have to remind yourself that he is just an actor .
and the fighting scenes were all excellent .
so go see it and enjoy the movie .
p . s .
if you have seen the movie unforgiven by clint eastwood , then the feeling left after dragon was very much like the feeling you got after the unforgiven .

[Q]: what were they thinking ?
nostalgia for the seventies is bad enough , but do we really need an eighties film ?
robbie hart ( adam sandler ) used to want to be a rock and roll star , but in 1985 he 's singing at weddings and having a good time .
a romantic at heart , he loves weddings and is just about to get married to his high - school sweetie .
when she leaves him waiting at the altar , his tune changes to " love stinks " .
he meets waitress julia ( drew barrymore ) who is engaged to a junk - bonds salesman
and you know that they are going to get together .
in
fact you know everything that is going to happen during this movie .
sandler is somewhat adequate in his leading man role , but there is no spark .
barrymore does n't seem to be able to convey anything other than a pretty face with nothing behind it :
beauty but no attitude .
both characters are just there .
bit parts by steve buscemi and jon lovitz steal the show .
the eighties are shoved in our face .
references to deloreans , madonna , " dallas " , ivana and donald , burt and loni and " miami vice
" get old fast .
the filmmakers must have realized that there was n't much entertainment to the story and thought they could dazzle the audience with humorous period allusions .
they 're not funny and it does n't work .
with change on all fronts accelerating more and more , nostalgia appears to have a great appeal , but do n't you think we could have more than 14 years before we yearn for the past .
maybe we can look forward to a film next year waxing nostalgically about el nino .
( michael redman has written this column for over 23 years and he knows that nostalgia is not what it used to be . )
