Q: capsule : trippy , hyperspeed action machine from hong kong 's accomplished tsui hark .
van damme and rodman have nice chemistry
, the stunts are eyepopping , and stuff gets blowed up real good ; what more do you want ?
i admit i was all set to loathe double team ; it reeked of cheapjack timing - oriented marketing ( stick dennis rodman in a movie , quick , while he 's hot , and do something about jean - claude van damme 's flagging career while we 're at it ! ) .
surprise -- double team transcends its dumb roots and turns out to be a mess of fun
.
bring some friends , get some pretzels , and have a blast .
van damme is jack quinn , an ex - agent who is brought back in for " one last mission " -- you 'd think any spy worth his shoe phone would run like hell when he hears those words .
but van damme 's character has a pregnant wife who 's also a sculptor , and some unpleasant pressure gets used to get him to come through on this mission .
he 's been assigned to take down an old enemy , a terrorist named stavros ( mickey rourke , looking oddly subdued ) , who may be back up to his old tricks .
in the first showdown between quinn and stavros , the movie wears its ambitions proudly on its sleeve : nonstop action .
an amusement park , a hospital , a private " retired spy " 's retreat , most of rome , various houses , planes , cars and other modes of transport , and the coliseum ( ! )
all become arenas for some of the most bone - rattling shoot - outs and punch - outs filmed .
they are better seen than described and are reason enough to see the film : one jaw - dropping scene has van damme taking on a man who uses a switchblade with his * feet * .
( van damme is a good , dextrous athlete and fighter , but he is often upstaged . )
there are other nice touches .
stavros and quinn both want the same thing : to retire in peace with their families .
that ambition ties them together in various ways , and also humanizes them a bit .
one of the things about hk action movies is that there 's always some form of human element , and that 's carried over into this movie as well .
it gives weight to scenes that would otherwise be forgettable .
also good is dennis rodman , playing a weapons dealer named yaz -- a character who sticks out like a fistful of broken fingers and who is funny just standing there .
rodman is natural on screen ; he 's fun to watch , especially when slinging bad guys like basketballs , and deserves to get a movie of his own , based on what 's seen here : a lightweight , fast - moving entertainment
that showcases all of its pieces excellently .

Q: 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 .

Q: matthew broderick and high school comedy .
the two terms have been practically inseparable since ferris buehler took the day off in 1986 .
now it is 13 years later , and broderick has another high school comedy , election , to show the world .
ferris buehler 's day off showed an educational setting that was similar to a pile of marshmallows .
it was light , fluffy , tasty , and sparkling clean .
but election is far different .
this production is a dark , and frighteningly realistic one that does so much more than entertain for the 103 minutes it occupies ; it shocks as well .
jim mcallister ( matthew broderick ) is the type of teacher that makes american high schools proud .
he is a kind , caring , younger man who has built his life around carver high school .
in turn , carver high school has provided a home for him .
jim has won teacher of the year no less than three times in his 12 year span , and is a well respected social studies teacher among the student body .
tracy flick ( reese witherspoon ) is an intelligent , outgoing , and , to quote the film , " super nice " young girl .
she is involved in numerous extracurricular activities , always has her hand up first in class , and is extremely popular among most of the student body .
so , it is a natural progression when she decides to run for school president .
the metzler family is an extremely wealthy one .
the father , dick ( holmes osborne ) , owns a cement company .
the mother , jo ( jeanine jackson ) , is an ideal housewife .
and the two children , paul ( chris klein ) and tammy ( jessica campbell ) , are both students at carver high school .
paul was the quarterback of the football team before he injured himself , and is definitely a candidate for most popular person in school .
tammy is a lesbian who , to say the least , is going through a period of self discovery .
for reasons of revenge , hatred , and sexual envy , jim convinces paul to run against tracy for school president .
he claims that in a democracy you need choices , and having tracy run unopposed creates a dictatorship of sorts .
so paul agrees and the race is on .
but then , in an effort to spite the two candidates , tammy announces that she is running as well .
her campaign is straightforward : people only run to put it on their college applications , then they do nothing .
well , " i do n't even want to go to college , " she says .
in election , there are no " good guys " .
almost everyone has their own agenda .
no matter how deeply hidden , the production digs it up and exploits it for the audience .
tracy is the type of person that you remember from high school .
she is the girl that would be labeled " most likely to achieve anything she wants " in the yearbook , and everyone secretly envied her because of that .
jim is a teacher that takes the trust that students give him as a privilege , and uses it to his own amoral advantage .
everyone , including the principal , a former teacher , all the candidates , and even paul 's girlfriend are two sided characters .
that is much of this film 's beauty , it does n't have the typical good guys that hollywood likes , instead it is a realistic portrayal of the real world , specializing in revealing the type of sexual perversions that people usually keep to themselves .
matthew broderick could n't have been any more perfect for this role .
his character is often similar bill murray 's award winning role in the 1998 film , rushmore .
of the two acting jobs , broderick 's is far superior .
but even he is overshadowed by the young reese witherspoon .
the hatred that she causes the audience to develop towards her , is simply indescribable .
broderick and witherspoon are simply at their best when they are playing off each other in various scenes .
one such moment occurs when she approaches him in his car as he is leaving school one day .
you can see her self pride in her eyes as she presents him a list of signatures , making her an eligible candidate .
and his subtle disgust with her is apparent , although he tries to mask it between the lines and attempts to put on a happy face .
the supporting cast is one with little hollywood experience .
but that is far from apparent as everyone takes control of their part .
however , the real treat is jessica campbell in her confused role as a young homosexual girl .
this is never more apparent than the scene where she delivers her speech announcing her so - called platform for presidency .
she is just marvelous as her hatred towards what she thinks to be an unjust system is expressed .
if ferris buehler made you feel good about american high schools , and gave you an innocent laugh or two , then the movie achieved its goal .
but do n't you dare think that election 's goals are similar .
it is just as real in its portrayal of high school , as its characters are in the real world .
there certainly is no pile of marshmallows here .
