Q: a number of critics have decided that it 's open season on freddie prize jr . , slamming the young actor as an utterly talentless pretty boy on career cruise control in sound - alike , disposable teen fluff like " head over heels , " " boys and girls , " " down to you " and " she 's all that . " while the prinze oeuvre is hard to defend , his talent is not .
i first saw him in the independent dark comedy " the house of yes , " where he gave a subtle , impressive performance as the younger brother in one of america 's freakiest families .
prinze has the acting chops ; he just needs to take a few supporting roles in some grown - up movies to show the non - believers that he has what it takes .
" summer catch " certainly wo n't help his case .
inoffensive , but utterly generic ,
the baseball - related romantic comedy does little more than kill time .
the story deals with the love affair between tenley ( jessica biel ) , a wealthy cape cod girl and ryan ( prinze ) , a local boy from a working class family who dreams of becoming a big - time baseball star .
ryan 's preoccupation with his new honey - bunny drives her elitist father ( bruce davison ) crazy and endangers his position as pitcher with a cape cod summer league team .
it 's a wonder the kid has any time to pitch , as his time is occupied with making out with tenley , fighting with her dad ,
bonding with his own dad ( fred ward , who deserves better than this ) , fighting with his brother ( jason gedrick ) and carousing at a neighborhood bar with his teammates .
the filmmakers desperately want to make a quirky , character - heavy baseball movie like " bull durham , " but have n't got a clue how to get there . and
so they glide from one clich ?
to the next for 108 minutes .
the only bit of originality comes from marc blucas in a minor role as a center - fielder from texas .
in an early barroom scene , blucas , best known as demon - fighting riley finn from " buffy the vampire slayer , " hears a young woman compliment a guy on his ass , then turns to teammate matthew lillard and states , " he does have a nice ass .
a bubble butt .
"
when lillard gives him an " are you insane ?
" look , blucas calmly says , " it 's nothing sexual , " then goes on to evaluate the hind - ends of some other players , including lillard 's .
speaking of asses , prinze does not bare his in the movie .
the actor has a no nudity clause in his contract , so two stunt - butts were employed for a couple of semi - nude shots .
blucas , whose character secretly dates a large woman throughout the story , gets another unique moment late in the film .
sick of hearing teammates make " fat chick " jokes
, he climbs on top of a table and loudly declares his love of amply - sized ladies .
while his speech still ends up objectifying women , it remains a nice change of pace in a numbingly ordinary movie .
trivial tidbit : " summer catch " marks a scooby doo summit .
marc blucas appears in " jay and silent bob strike back " as fred from the scooby doo gang , while freddie prinze jr .
plays the same character in the upcoming big budget film version of the old cartoon .

Q: ugh .
that about sums this movie up .
just , ugh .
the original godzilla movies are somewhat of a cult classic , and when reviewing the previous films , each film had a certain degree of intelligence .
and that was the reason they found such an enviable cult following ; in spite of bad special effects , horrible dubbing , and a man in a lizard suit , they maintained a certain degree of . . .
how to put this ? . . .
dignity ?
not quite the word i 'm looking for .
you understand , right ?
and in 50 years , godzilla has maintained that degree of ' whatever ' . leave it to america to screw the whole thing up .
> from the ' geniuses ' that brought us " independece day " , arguably the worst sci - fi movie of all time , to ruin whatever reputation godzilla had .
while they do bring us eye - popping special effects that will amaze you ,
they lost what was at the center of all the original godzilla movies -- a storyline .
summing up the movie is simple .
heck , i can do it in one sentence : giant lizard attacks a giant city and a bunch of nobodies stop it .
simple as that .
matthew broderick
stumbles over his lines , and it 's hard to picture hank azaria in any role besides his classic dog - walking character on the television show " mad about you " .
the dialogue seems to be improvized , almost as if there was no rehearsel done at all .
i can see the scene on the set right now .
"
all right !
we spent all of this money making big special effects , and we 've got ta get this movie out by summer
or it 's going to bomb in our faces .
so , you actors just say what ever comes to the top of your head , all right ?
make up something , m'kay ?
good .
roll film ! !
"
the special effects are enough to keep you interested through one viewing , and some of the cinemtography is well - done ( the scene with the black umbrellas comes to mind ) .
still , an hour into it , you will become antsy , wondering how long they can drag it out . and drag it out they do ! !
i have to laugh .
the slogan for the film is , " size does matter " .
i think they cut this too short .
it should read , " size does matter .
acting does not .

Q: i was pleasantly surprised by this film .
with a budget topping $ 200 million , i was quite skeptical about whether throwing all that money toward one of the twentieth century 's greatest tragedies would make a film exciting enough to see .
how much could you dress up the sets ?
how many models and computer effects could you use ? how much more action could you pack into a ship that sinks ?
oh , if i 've just given away part of the plot for you , go back to school .
after having viewed titanic , however , i found it to be a well - paced , well - designed , and overall well - made movie .
there have been many films made about the maiden and final voyage of the ocean liner titanic , but this latest offering from director james cameron is the best i 've seen .
titanic tells its story in two time periods .
it starts out in the present , when ocean explorer brock lovett ( bill paxton ) and his team are exploring the wreckage of the titanic on the floor of the atlantic , searching for a priceless diamond necklace which supposedly went down with the ship .
what they find instead is a drawing of a woman wearing the necklace , which is broadcast on the news .
the woman in the picture recognizes herself and phones lovett , who has her flown out to his exploration vessel on the high seas .
there she tells her story to lovett and his team .
in 1912 , rose dewitt bukater ( kate winslett ) , a young lady belonging to society 's upper class , boards the titanic for the ship 's first atlantic crossing , from southampton , england to new york .
she is engaged to cal hockley ( billy zane ) , an heir to old money , and a snob in every sense of the word .
on board , rose feels the stifling trappings of high - society 's expectations , and resolves to escape from it all by throwing herself off the titanic 's stern , but is saved from her self - proclaimed fate by jack dawson ( leonardo dicaprio ) , a passenger in third - class ( " steerage " , as it 's referred to ) , who talks her out of jumping .
although for rose the attraction is not immediate , a love affair soon develops between the two , which endangers rose 's social standing as well as her engagement to the jealous cal .
the story sounds very simple , and perhaps even unexciting , but through solid performances by the leads and good direction by cameron , a good movie comes through .
dicaprio is marvelous as the young , but worldly - wise jack , playing the role with the confidence usually found in older actors .
his is a character that is immediately likable , as he knows what he wants out of life and is charmingly able to handle a variety of situations .
girls are going to swoon over him .
winslet also proves herself a good actress , delivering her lines convincingly , and the quality of performances between winslet and dicaprio makes the relationship believable .
the only problem with winslet is that she does not carry herself in accordance with her character 's upbringing .
simply by judgment of her gait , i was distracted from the fact that she was supposed to be an upper - crust debutante .
rather than demonstrate the poise one would expect her character to possess , she sometimes looks positively clumsy , and it unfortunately detracts from her
otherwise great acting .
billy zane is cast well as the aristocratic snob cal , since he has a certain look that immediately makes you want to hate him .
his features are such that even when he smiles , there 's something mistrustful about him , and when he scowls , he is evil incarnate .
he 's something like a porcelain version of peter gallagher , but a cheaper model .
like dicaprio and winslet , zane slips comfortably into his role and plays it well
.
backing up zane is david warner as lovejoy , cal 's personal assistant ( or " man " as they said at the turn of the century ) .
no matter who else is in the cast , you can always count on a good performance by warner , who seems to be made to play the distinguished gentleman with a gaze of steel and will to match .
additionally , there are a number of smaller fictional and non - fictional roles thrown in for color , such as kathy bates as " the unsinkable " molly brown , danny nucci as jack 's friend fabrizio de rossi , eric braeden as john jacob astor , and even bernard fox as colonel archibald gracie .
nice to see dr .
bombay getting work .
also scattered about are some of the other steerage passengers who are basically in the movie so you can feel sorry for them when they die .
this by itself may have been largely compulsory in a film about the titanic , but it transcends this status by putting these characters in direct conflict with the ship 's crewmembers who strive to maintain order and assure that the first - class passengers are placed aboard the lifeboats before anyone else .
in this way , titanic possesses a depth not usually found in action pictures .
you do n't just get a love story with a tragedy as a backdrop , but a very real account of class struggle as well .
as i mentioned before , the budget for this film was tremendous , and it certainly showed in the set dressing and special effects .
the interiors of the titanic are nearly breathtaking with their elaborate trimmings and intricate detail , and one has very little doubt that the layouts are authentic .
with regard to the exteriors , i would dare anyone to point out a film in which a vessel has been recreated with such meticulousness or on such a scale .
cameron actually built a scale model of the titanic in a water tank , but only had room for 90 % , and therefore had to computer - generate the remaining 40 feet .
could 've fooled me and everyone else in the theater , as the splicing is seamless .
also of note in this film is the way the audience is presented with the anatomy of the disaster right at the beginning .
we are told of where the iceberg struck the ship , how the flooding occurred , the way the ship sank , and why it did so in that manner .
these technical details serve as a guide for later on when the action starts happening , and allow us to view the sinking with informed analytic detraction , in addition to the more conventional placement in the midst of mayhem and confusion .
in all , james cameron 's titanic is a good blend of love story , history , and action .
the fact that the film runs longer than most at about three hours is almost unnoticed as the viewer 's attention is held alternately by those three main elements , from the movie 's intriguing beginning to it 's satisfactory ending .
in box office receipts , titanic the movie will undoubtedly live up to the unsinkable expectations of titanic the ship .
