plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !
where 's joblo coming from ?
a nightmare of elm street 3 ( 7/10 ) - blair witch 2 ( 7/10 ) - the crow ( 9/10 ) - the crow : salvation ( 4/10 )
- lost highway ( 10/10 ) - memento ( 10/10 ) - the others ( 9/10 ) - stir of echoes ( 8/10 )

New input: star wars : episode 1 - the phantom menace ( 1999 )
review by matt pusateri few movies evoke nostalgia , enthusiasm , and affection like george lucas ' 1977 classic , star wars .
the original blockbuster film and its two sequels not only evoked wonder and passion in a generation of filmgoers , but has deeply entrenched itself in american pop culture .
arguably , more americans today can explain what " the force " or a " jedi " is than a budget deficit or a serb .
so 22 years after the release of the original , and 16 years since the third film , the return of the jedi , how can any new star wars film withstand the weight of incomparable expectations and anticipation ?
can a new storyline and a new cast of
characters possibly compete with the legends of the first trilogy - luke , han solo , and darth vader -all cultural icons ?
against this challenge , the fourth star wars film , episode one : the phantom menace hit the screens last week .
and despite some early critical reviews in the major media , the film is neither a flop nor a disappointment .
while the phantom menace is certainly not the finest film in the series , it is nonetheless engaging , exciting , and visually breathtaking .
it is a worthy sequel - er , prequel - to the original star wars films .
the phantom menace takes place decades before the setting of original films .
as the film opens , obi - wan kenobi ( ewan mcgregor ) , the wise old master who introduced luke to the force in the original star wars , is only a young jedi apprentice , still learning from his fellow jedi and instructor , qui - gon jinn ( liam neeson ) .
the republic government has sent the two jedi to settle a trade dispute that has developed into a blockade of the planet naboo by a shifty trade federation .
the jedi quickly find themselves not in negotiations , but in the middle of a planetary invasion , rushing to protect naboo 's young queen amidala ( natalie portman ) .
later , after eventually rescuing amidala and helping her escape naboo , they are forced to stop at tatooine to repair their battle - damaged ship before bringing her to the galactic senate to make an appeal for justice .
on tatooine , qui - gon discovers a young slave boy , anakin skywalker ( jake lloyd ) , who not only can help them get the parts they need , but displays uncanny intelligence , insight , and instincts .
qui - gon senses the child is " unusually strong " with the force and begins to suspect that he may be " the one " prophesized to " bring balance to the force .
" as anyone who has watched the original star wars trilogy knows , far from being a galactic savior , the innocent - looking 9-year - old will in time become the ruthless darth vader .
complicating matters further is a mysterious hooded figure , darth sidious , is behind the trade blockade and invasion of naboo , and sends out a lethal apprentice , darth maul , to find and capture queen amidala .
while amidala and the jedi fight to save her planet , they soon also have to deal with the deadly and relentless darth maul .
if the plot sounds a bit complicated , it is .
the phantom menace not only introduces an earlier generation of characters and an immediate crisis , but sets up the foundation for the events that will eventually lead to the fall of the republic , the demise of the jedi knights , anakin 's turn to evil , and the rise of the dark empire of original trilogy .
but the complexity is not overwhelming .
the story moves quickly , with the only drawback being that many questions , predictably , remain unanswered at the end of the film , setting the stage for the next episode .
one of the reasons the film 's story seems hazy is not that it is too confusing , but too unfocused .
it 's unclear whose story phantom menace is .
in the original trilogy , the movies were clearly luke 's story , with the stories centering around his growth from farmboy to rebel hero to jedi knight .
but it 's unclear whether this new film is anakin 's story or obi - wan 's .
if this trilogy is centered on anakin , it 's a shaky foundation .
lloyd , like many child actors , lacks the subtle acting skills of adult performers , and as a result , his character seems shallow and unimpressive .
on screen , we see nothing that suggests a dark side lurking underneath his little - boy face , or for that matter , any presence that would make him seem so special that qui - gon is willing to believe he is " the one .
"
the rest of the cast does fine , though they often work with some iffy dialogue by lucas .
neeson is perfect as an aging jedi knight .
mcgregor is well - cast as obi - wan and conveys a balance of youthful energy and calm sensibility .
portman fits the role of a young queen well , but her lines were often very formal , giving her little room to give her character much personality .
the biggest problem with the phantom menace is not the plot or the characters , but the interaction between them .
individually , the characters in this new film are no less developed than those in the original star wars , and the storyline is not more confusing than previous films in the series .
but unlike the previous trilogy , lucas does n't do as good of a job playing the characters off one another .
in star wars , there were immediate contrasts and memorable exchanges between luke and han , han and obi - wan , and leia and luke .
the ensemble played off each other and immediately showed their distinct attitudes and personalities .
in the sequence in where luke , han , and chewbacca attempt to rescue leia from her cell on the death star , the audience learns a lot about all four characters in the ways they react to the immediate problems and each other .
there is no comparable sequence in the phantom menace to flesh out the characters and their relationships with each other .
individually , they are interesting characters with clear motivations and interests , but lucas develops little chemistry or tension between the them .
this is perhaps the most glaring weakness of this film , and is probably the reason it has disappointed many reviewers .
but despite the need for a richer dialogue and stronger character interaction , the film is still very engaging .
many of the wonderful elements of lucas ' previous films make the phantom menace both memorable and entertaining .
first , of course , is the remarkably rich and imaginative universe lucas creates .
the characters visit magical underwater cities , evade dinosaur - sized sea monsters , fight battle droids and menacing " destroyers " on venetian - looking planet of naboo , watch a spectacular event , part roman - chariot race , part nascar circuit , on the arid desert planet of tatooine , then head to corsucant , the gothic urban capital of the republic and home to the galactic senate and the jedi council .
each location is elaborate and complex .
lucas never settles for vague ideas about the look of his settings , he creates rich , spectacular landscapes , palaces , and skylines .
most of the new special effects in his re - released special edition trilogy in 1997 were changes that allowed him to give the earlier movies the look and feel that just were n't possible when the films were made .
more than ever , in this new film , lucas ' universe is filled with a menagerie of creatures , robots with personalities , and a supporting cast of aliens who interact with the main characters .
the best such character is watto , a greedy tatooine junk dealer who owns anakin and his mother as slaves .
watto has a scratchy italian voice and a short , paunchy body with oddly mismatched wings that flutter like a hummingbird as he floats around the room .
of all the computer - generated characters in the film
, watto is the best done and most enjoyable .
speaking of computer - generated characters , no review of the phantom menace is complete without mentioning the most controversial figure in the film : jar jar binks . with more than 80 minutes of screen time , jar jar is the realization of george lucas ' dream to include a fully computer - generated character into the cast of the new trilogy .
jar jar , a clumsy amphibian and member of the gungan race , literally stumbles his way into the path of the jedi knights early in the film and becomes qui jon 's accidental sidekick .
jar jar usually performs a comic - relief role in the film , lightening scenes with his mishaps and inability to stay out of trouble .
the animation of jar jar is nearly seamless , and he interacts with the characters throughout the film as if he were really on the set with the actors .
however , despite the technological magic that makes his character possible , jar jar is n't completely convincing .
he still moves and sounds too much like a cartoon to blend into a scene .
throughout the movie , jar jar never transcends a " roger rabbit " -like presence .
you accept that he 's there , but you never lose sight of the fact that he is an animated character .
initially , i found jar jar annoying , but grew to enjoy the humor he added to the film .
on my second viewing of the film , jar jar was a lot of fun
and i did n't mind him at all .
a second reason this film continues the fine tradition of star wars movies is that the film is replete with humor and small details that flesh out the world lucas creates .
despite all the film 's struggles between good and evil , and the sober musings about one 's destiny and " the force , " like all star wars films , the phantom menace never takes itself too seriously .
fortunately , lucas has n't lost sight of the fact that his films are entertainment , not high art .
from the bumbling jar jar , to a one - man , two - headed announcer team calling the action at the film 's thrilling pod - race sequence , to a cameo appearance by e. t. in the film , the phantom menace is simply a lot of fun , with lots of half - hidden jokes and humor that can easily be missed .
and finally , the phantom menace works
because , as in all his films , there is no shortage of speed and action . from beginning to end , there are light - saber battles , hair - raising chases , and thrilling duels between good and evil .
the pod - race sequence on tatooine is one of the most entertaining and exciting scenes in any star wars film , and the final showdown between obi - wan , qui - gon , and darth maul is arguably the best choreographed , most thrilling fight sequence lucas has filmed .
the phantom menace wo n't win any major oscars .
it probably wo n't beat titanic 's box office record . and it 's not even the best star wars film ( i 'd put it third , after the original and the empire strikes back ) .
but it 's an exciting and entertaining film , far better than your typical summer blockbuster .
the film ca n't live up to it 's hype - no film , not even the original star wars , could have done that .
but it 's still worth seeing .
.. probably more than once .
