[Q]: there is nothing like american history x in theaters or on video .
no other feature film takes such a cold hard look at the lure , the culture , and the brotherhood of white supremacy .
nice guy ed norton jr .
( who sang in everyone says i love you )
plays derek , a twenty - year old skinhead .
dad 's subtle racism grew large in derek , after gang members killed his father .
dad was fighting a fire when they shot him .
now derek keeps his head shaved and has a giant swastika tattooed over his heart .
derek is more interested in the ideas of white supremacy than in its culture of violence .
at a basketball court , black and white tempers flare .
derek channels the aggression into a game , black versus white , for ownership of the courts .
when the choice presents itself , derek goes for game point instead of the sucker - punch .
cameron ( stacy keach ) steps in to derek 's life as a surrogate father .
he takes derek under his wing and nurtures his racist feelings .
keeping his own criminal record spotless , he uses derek as a leader and organizer for high - visibility racial intimidation .
derek obliges by leading his younger and dumber friends in race - motivated mob crimes .
at the bottom of the chain , derek 's younger brother danny ( edward furlong , made famous in terminator 2 ) joins the skinheads not for ideological or intellectual reasons , but because he admires his brother and he wants to belong .
one night three black youths break into derek 's truck , which is exactly what derek has been waiting for .
outside in his shorts and his tattoo , he shoots them all .
the third would - be thief , unarmed , is only wounded .
in the key scene of the film , derek commands the kid into a position where he can be killed with one glorious , enraptured , awful stomp .
( the fun - spoiling nc-17 of orgazmo seems even more inappropriate , considering american history x was rated r .
what sort of country is this that says sex comedies are a bigger threat to our youth than brutal , ecstatic violence ? )
the police arrive just as derek kills the last thief .
derek does not resist the cops , and as they spin him around to cuff him , the film slows down .
derek raises his eyebrows and smiles at his little brother in a chilling , sadistic , satisfied grin .
now in prison , derek faces new challenges .
as the black man in the laundry tells him , " in the joint , you the nigra , not me .
"
there is a clique of swastika - wearing skinheads , but they are not interested in the ideology of white supremacy .
they only use the symbols as a means of intimidation .
derek finds himself truly alone , truly in danger , and truly afraid .
when derek finally gets out of prison , he finds that his friends from the gang have also changed .
without derek 's leadership , they have shunned the white supremacist ideology for the white supremacist culture .
it is the final factor that makes him realize how badly he 's screwed up .
in the end , he spends quality time with is brother trying to undo the respect and admiration he had earlier inspired in danny .
the film ends a little too deliberately , too neatly after the unchained emotion and violent glee of the rest of the film , but it barely detracts from the overall experience .
edward norton gives an oscar - worthy performance .
although some of his dialogue seemed to be written without enough conviction , norton 's performance compensated .
( an example that comes to mind is his pep talk before looting the store . )
he also captured the essence of an older brother .
he took his responsibility as a role model to his younger brother very seriously , very lovingly , both before and after his change of heart .
though clearly not for all tastes , this film is bold and daring .
the subject matter is ugly , cruel , and at times hard to look at .
nevertheless its subjects are part of humanity 's great face .
kaye gives us a good look at this fascinating , if distasteful , american subculture .

[Q]: the swooping shots across darkened rooftops suggest a very tim burton movie , but , alas , no caped crusader descends to save * this * film
.
instead , it 's a skeletal housemaid ( julia roberts ) who must bear witness to this unfortunate retelling of " dr .
jekyll and mr .
hyde .
" for a few , fleeting , maddening moments , director stephen frears ( dangerous liaisons ) gets everything
just right-- the tone , the colors , the characters ; all the ingredients to make a most - powerful potion out of valerie martin 's best - selling novel .
yet it fizzles too quickly ; the volatile mixture losing potency from the very first scene .
casting is a large part of the problem .
the story all but collap- ses around ms .
roberts--
she does n't have the range for this kind of drama .
her accent also comes and goes , though it 's nowhere near as glaring as the total lack of chemistry between her and co - star john malkovich .
( he looks the same in both of his roles-- an incredible fact that 's missed by everyone in the story ! )
the very british supporting cast-- including michael gambon and george cole-- gives credibility to the smaller parts .
glenn close also appears as a madam that the good doctor calls upon .
her performance is as close to intentional camp as the movie ever gets and-- as a bonus-- offers a likely peek at her upcoming cruella de ville in the live - action 101 dalmantions .
the biggest botch in mary reilly is suspense : there is none .
no terror , no tension ; nothing .
without any weight , wit , or wonder to propel the story , the viewer is left with little more to do than pay attention to the period detail , a few buckets of blood , and stuart craig 's fabulously dreary production design .
all of which gets old after about an hour , at which point i recommend leaving .
( the pacing in the second - half is especially abominable .
if you * do * stick it through , your sole reward is a half - hokey special effect depicting the infamous transformation . )
mr .
frears reportedly recut his film several times , missing several release dates in the process .
( obviously , no one advised him to throw up his hands and just turn the whole damned thing over to mel brooks .
blucher ! )
mary reilly is the second robert louis stevenson story of the month , after muppet treasure island .
perhaps mr .
frears should consult with brian henson on future projects .
i daresay that
even ms .
piggy is a better choice for a certain roles than julia roberts .
and she does have a great chop !

[Q]: what do you get when you slap together a movie based on a story by the legendary george lucas , directed by virtuoso director steven spielberg , and starring one of the biggest box - office stars in the world , harrison ford ?

little known facts about this film and its stars : this picture was nominated for eight 1981 oscar nominations , including best picture .
it lost that award to chariots of fire , but did manage to win for best art direction , best special effects , best film editing and best sound .
actor tom selleck was originally cast as indiana jones , but was committed to his hit tv show , " magnum p .
i .
" .
in filming the well of souls sequence , the producers scoured every pet shop in london and the south of england for every snake they could lay their hands on .
hence there are snakes that are identifiable from many different geographical areas .
however , once all the snakes were on set , it became clear that there were not nearly enough of them , so spielberg had several hoses cut into lengths , and these were used as well . looking closely , you can tell which are the real snakes and which are not .
an early draft of the script had indy travelling to shanghai to recover a piece of the staff of ra .
during his escape from the museum where it was housed , he sheltered from machine gun fire behind a giant rolling gong .
also in the same script , indy and marion flee the chaos caused by the opening of the ark in a wild mine - cart chase sequence .
both of these scenes were cut from the script , but ended up in 1984 's indiana jones and the temple of doom .
this film begins with a shot of a peak in the jungle which is reminiscent of the paramount pictures logo .
the same type of opening is present in its sequels .
jock 's airplane at the beginning of the film has the registration number " ob - cpo " .
this is a reference to obi - wan and c-3po from george lucas ' star wars ( 9 . 5/10 ) .
also , the hieroglyphics in the well of souls include engravings of r2-d2 and c-3po .
they can be seen on a post to the right of indy and sallah as they remove the ark .
the script originally included a long fight between a swordsman and indiana with his whip .
as legend has it , actor harrison ford was suffering diarrhea at the time , and asked if the scene could be shortened .
spielberg said the only way he could shorten it was if indy pulled out his gun and just shot the guy .
the entire crew laughed and that 's how it was filmed .
when indy first falls in the well of souls and is face to face with the cobra , you can see the snake 's reflection on the glass dividing it and harrison ford , also some fingerprints and stuff like that .
when indy is dragging along the ground , hanging onto the nazi soldier 's truck with the ark inside , you can see the pad that he 's being dragged on .
