[Q]: " spice world " is just one long promotional film for the british girl band the spice girls .
sure there 's a hint of humor in there every once in a while .
actually , there 's a couple of pretty good jabs at the spice girls .
but overall , who cares ? not me .
if you do n't know by now , the spice girls sing songs of love and friendship and responsibility and girl power , yet dress like streetwalkers from a lower middle class neighborhood .
in " spice world " they ride around in their big tour bus , whining about having to do photo shoots and give interviews .
amazingly , all the talk they do about keeping commitments and upholding responsibilities only really applies to fun things , things they want to do , not things they are required to do to keep earning money .
and they keep babbling about " girl power " when they should really be talking about " cleavage power " .
i mean , if all it takes is girl power , then why are they
only one thread away from bursting out of their skimpy outfits ?
the film is pg , but really with only some very minor dialogue changes and scene extentions , you 'd have yourself one raunchy adult film .
by the way , there 's something in the opening credits which says " based on an idea by the spice girls " .
wow , they got idea credit !
i certainly wish that was a new trend in hollywood . . .
giving credit for simply having the thought " say girls , let 's make a movie !
"
the supporting cast fares well .
roger moore ( the real james bond ) mockingly plays the cliche - spewing " chief " of the spice girls , and darn it all , he 's fun to watch .
mark mckenney also is good as a screenwriter trying to pitch film ideas to the band 's manager ( richard e . grant ) .
one question though : george wendt ?
you 'd think that " spice world " would envoke one of two reactions in people .
if you like the spice girls , you 'll like them even more afterwards .
and if you ca n't stand them ( like me ) , then " spice world " will really make you sick .
oddly , the audience i saw the film with , roughly 50 twelve year - old girls , sat in silence for the entire film .
well , not the two who sat directly behind me .
they kept muttering " this is stupid " over and over again .
maybe there is hope for humanity after all .

[Q]: jean - claude van damme movies tend to be , if nothing else , a lot of mindless fun .
his latest film , " knock off , " skips on the fun part leaving a wildly incoherent exercise that is , well , simply mindless .
you ca n't really blame van damme .
no one , i suspect , has ever expected " the muscles from brussels " to contribute a heartfelt performance brimming with introspection and delicate shades of gray .
and even his sidekick co - star , " saturday night live " alumnus rob " makin ' copies " schneider , does what 's expected of him , although neither appear to want the role of straight man .
no ,
the problem with the film is its direction .
the first five minutes of the film are incomprehensible . . .
and it goes downhill from there !
five hundred characters , it seems , are introduced within the first fifteen minutes .
van damme does n't land his first kick until after thirty -- too late for most action fans -- and by the time the hour mark has rolled around ,
your jaw will be on your cup holder and you 'll be wondering why you elected to spend seven dollars on this mess
.
director hark tsui , whose previous film was the van damme / dennis rodman teamed " double team , " films at such a frenetic pace that it 's hard to know what 's going on
, who 's on whose side , and what the point of all this is .
faster than you can yell " fruit stand !
"
we 're watching a crazed rickshaw race with schneider being bounced along by an energetic van damme .
when schneider starts whacking van damme in the behind with a four - foot eel while enthusing " move your beautiful big ass , " the movie takes an unprecedented turn to the bizarre .
every now and again " knock off " will deliver some truly ingenious directorial flourishes -- inventive camera shots and angles , wild rides down gun silencers and from the tops of buildings to the sprawling street below , revealing cut - ins within the frame -- but they all happen too quickly , and within such a furious frame of reference , that they 're wasted . if only hark could have slowed things down just for a minute . if you 're interested in the plot , you 're better off reading a capsule review than trying to extract any meaning from the on - screen shenanigans : " jean - claude van damme plays a shady bluejeans manufacturer who uncovers a russian mafia plot to terrorize the world with " nanobombs " hidden in cabbage patch knock - offs .
maybe .
with paul sorvino .
"
a more accurate summary would be " jean - claude van damme bums around hong kong failing to avoid large , blatant coca - cola product placements .
"
the fact that the film is staged during hong kong 's last days under british rule gets some lip service but does n't figure in at all .
perhaps " knock off " 's most intriguing credit is that ron and russell mael composed the frenzied music score .
some of you might remember the mael brothers as the ' 80s synth pop duo sparks ; their contributions here are as confused as the accompanying action-- " kimono my house " indeed !
like the cheap jeans and " pumma " sneakers manufactured in hong kong , van damme 's latest is a real phony .

[Q]: i 've got to admit it . . .
i 'm a huge jim carrey fan .
i loved the first ace ventura , as well as the mask and dumb and dumber -- and even in batman forever ( which was a pretty awful movie ) , carrey was one of the few people to come off looking reasonably good .
until i saw ace ventura 2 , i had no idea how people could find the guy annoying .
sadly , ace ventura 2 shows
just how irritating and annoying carrey can be .
carrey goes through the same schtick
he went through in the first ace movie , but this time
it is no longer funny -- it is just a rehash of many of the same jokes used in ace i .
the plot sees pet detective ace ventura retiring after failing to save a raccoon ( in a reasonable cliffhanger spoof ) .
soon he is called out of retirement to find a bat which was kidnapped and , if not returned in four days , will cause two warring african tribes to destroy each other .
once again , it 's up to ace to save the day , using his uncanny detective skills .
those who have been disappointed by carrey 's more restrained roles in the films following the first ace ventura may be glad to see him over - acting to the best of his ability , but some may be disappointed by the fact that this sequel does n't capture the feel of the original .
the original benefited from what looked to be carrey 's constant hyped - up improv sequences , which were hysterically funny .
here , however , the tighter script ( which is reminiscent of the old disney telemovies ) takes the improvised material from the first , and
shamelessly recycles it in the new movie , giving carrey little chance to improvise .
instead , his extremely funny manner has been reduced to just walking around stupidly .
but one of the biggest problems
i had was with the character of ventura himself .
in the first movie , he was always cool , and one step ahead of every one else -- perfect for carrey 's off - the - wall approach .
but here , ventura is made to look a lot stupider , and is often made out as the straight guy -- a role which is definitely not carrey 's style .
there are definitely some very funny moments , but they are few and far between .
they are also nowhere near as funny as anything carrey did in the first ace ventura , or even dumb and dumber .
