question:
if beavis and butthead had a favorite movie , from dusk till dawn would probably be it . scripted by quentin tarantino and directed by robert rodriguez ( desperado ) , the movie panders to the very worst in sex and violence -- and is incredibly fun to watch .
it starts off as a pulp fiction - type crime story , with criminal brothers george clooney and tarantino robbing a convenience store .
because this is a tarantino movie , however , it 's not just a case of pull the gun and take the loot , it 's a case of a hole being shot through someone 's hand , a man on fire jumping out behind the counter and the entire store blowing up as they drive away .
the opening scene sets the tone for the rest of the movie -- everything overdone and nothing as it seems .
clooney and tarantino bring a hostage to the motel and then hijack an rv with a family in it .
harvey keitel plays the backslidden ex - preacher and juliette lewis his daughter , whom registered sex - pervert tarantino eyes endlessly .
you know you 're mentally unbalanced when you find lewis the least bit attractive , although she 's not nearly as obnoxious as usual in from dusk till dawn .
the first half of the movie has the criminals and hostages trying to get to and through the mexico border , clooney 's strategy involving hiding in the rv shower while lewis is on the toilet .
it does its trick ; the border guard takes one look at lewis relieving herself and immediately goes blind , never noticing clooney or tarantino .
once they get to mexico , it 's time to wait at the rendezvous point ,
a topless bar called titty twister where we 're once again reminded tarantino wrote the movie as he drinks champagne off the foot of a stripper .
finally , after about ten minutes of intercut boob shots and clooney forcing keitel and lewis to drink with him , the stripper turns into a vampire .
soon half the people in the bar are vampires and the other half fall or fight back .
that 's right
, we 've come all this way to see a vampire movie .
but like everything else , tarantino takes this age - old genre and twists it to his own ends to produce over - the - top entertainment .
so we get holy water condom balloons , heads rolling , quadruple impalement on an overturned table and keitel getting bitten by a vampire and announcing he only has a few minutes left before he becomes " a lap dog of satan .
"
the from dusk till dawn dialogue is 100 % tarantino , hovering between absurd and disgusting ( as when they 're entering the nightclub and cheech marin announces the main attractions of the titty twister ) , but always entertaining , and is a huge reason the movie is so much fun to watch instead of being one more second - rate gorefest .
clooney , keitel and especially tarantino are so over - the - top with their delivery that the dialogue is that much more hilarious , ensuring not one second of from dusk till dawn is taken the least bit seriously .
stuff like this would be terrible in any other movie , but tarantino and rodriguez know exactly what to do to entertain people , even if there 's absolutely no message or meaning to from dusk till dawn .
pulp fiction had the vulgarity and violence for a reason , but this movie just throws it out for cheap entertainment .
from dusk till dawn is n't the classic of modern cinema that pf is , but is does prove you can do a good job making a really bad movie .

question:
" being john malkovich " is the type of film we need to see more .
today 's films are either blockbusters that entertain us with tiresome formulas , or those that have similar themes .
malkovich falls under none of these categories , and it 's quite refreshing to see that occur .
this strangely provoking story , is actually somewhat understandable .
john cusack plays a puppeteer trying to make it to the big time .
his wife ( cameron diaz ) supports the both of them by working at a petstore , which explains the obscure pets they keep in their apartment .
when cusack finally realizes he needs to get a job , he finds an ad for a filing clerk .
when he reaches the building , he arrives at a 7 1/2 floor .
it 's there that he discovers a secret portal that leads to being john malkovich for 15 minutes at a time .
meanwhile , cusack meets a business partner ( catherine keener ) , in which he falls madly in love with her .
the only problem is , she has no interest in him
what so ever .
the whole portal thing , is n't just a toy , in fact , it becomes cusack 's dream .
being inside malkovich 's mind , gave him the opportunity to basically control mlakovich , like a puppet , and to fulfill his fantasies .
i do n't want to give away too much , but cusack becomes too attached with his discovery .
in my opinion , this idea is absolutely brilliant .
it 's really quite scary to think that someone could become you , control you , be you .
it makes you wonder why we act like we do , and why sometimes we blurt out things or act out something out of the blue .
even if the script is super sharp , i ca n't help but find the ending displeasing .
it could have lead up to something more , or at least an amusing conclusion .
it tried to explain a mythology about the portals , that made it seem rushed .
other than that ,
i had a very enjoyable time .
the acting was quite delightful as well .
john cusack has finally been given a chance to prove his ability , and he does it well .
he 's by far the most underrated actor due to a lack of popularity , but i 'm hoping that will change .
cameron diaz was her usual charming self , although i felt that part was wrong for her , but
she pulled it off .
john malkovich himself continues to creep out people with his eerie facial expressions and tone of voice .
who else 's mind would be better to explore ?
the director , spike jonze , who appeared in last month 's three kings really catches my attention with this project .
i knew he was bizzare , but not to this extreme .
he too is likely too receive media attention .
" being john malkovich " is n't an excellent film , but it is definitly entertaining and will eaisly become a cult favorite .
what 's even better is the film 's puzzling message . . .
am i nick lyons ?

question:
the disney studios has its formula for annual , full - length animated features down so pat that it 's hard to remember which one you 're watching at any given moment .
" mulan , " their 36th animated adventure , is the latest case in point .
once again we have a tale focused around a strong central character ( female as usual ; disney is one of the few studios whose heroines -- ariel , belle , pocahontas , and now mulan -- get equal screen time with their heroes in recent years ) .
add the requisite love interest and a wise - cracking sidekick or two ,
pep up the soundtrack with a handful of strategically placed show tunes ( an introspective number by a pool or looking in a mirror , a rousing anthem , a cutesy , montage - backed crowd pleaser ) , pose a few threats to our engaging lead , and tie things all up neatly by the closing credits .
bob 's your uncle !
better make that walt 's your uncle . . .
kids will no doubt go ga - ga over " mulan " ( or at least the fast food tie - ins ) , but familiarity can , after a while , leave grown - ups -- this reviewer included -- wishing for a little more .
maybe an animated feature without -- shock !
horror !
--the songs , for example ? or maybe a film in which a cheeky chihuahua called pepe longs to become a matador from trinidad ? ?
how about simply ditching the sidekicks altogether ?
it is n't gon na happen .
like disney 's previous entries , " mulan " is slow to make its mark .
the animation tends to suffer from some slackness in the early going and the humorous element , a madcap dragon wannabe ( in the guise of a loquacious lizard with a case of dry mouth , courtesy eddie murphy 's animated vocal talents ) , plays like an inappropriate if necessary
( formula - wise ) afterthought .
however , after about an hour everything comes together and the formula , like it or not , clicks .
highlights include a spectacular cavalry charge on a snow - covered pass ( which , due to the sophistication of today 's computer - generated imagery , is hard to tell from the real thing ) , a memorable , show - stopping musical interlude
( " i 'll make a man out of you , " penned by matthew wilder and david zippel ) , and last but not least , mulan herself .
voiced by ming - na wen , mulan is disney 's strongest female character to date .
when hordes of huns pour over china 's great wall and threaten to overthrow the imperial palace , the emperor decrees that every family in the land dispatch one man to serve in the imperial army .
since mulan 's father is infirm , but proud , the high - spirited mulan steals her father 's armor and , incognito , signs up to face the mongolian menace .
attracted to , but not distracted by , her commanding officer shang ( b .
d .
wong )
, mulan outmatches her fellow combatants in smarts , wit , and physical ability .
she 's a woman of the ' 90s
a couple of millennia ahead of her time .
