question:
ugh .
that about sums this movie up .
just , ugh .
the original godzilla movies are somewhat of a cult classic , and when reviewing the previous films , each film had a certain degree of intelligence .
and that was the reason they found such an enviable cult following ; in spite of bad special effects , horrible dubbing , and a man in a lizard suit , they maintained a certain degree of . . .
how to put this ? . . .
dignity ?
not quite the word i 'm looking for .
you understand , right ?
and in 50 years , godzilla has maintained that degree of ' whatever ' . leave it to america to screw the whole thing up .
> from the ' geniuses ' that brought us " independece day " , arguably the worst sci - fi movie of all time , to ruin whatever reputation godzilla had .
while they do bring us eye - popping special effects that will amaze you ,
they lost what was at the center of all the original godzilla movies -- a storyline .
summing up the movie is simple .
heck , i can do it in one sentence : giant lizard attacks a giant city and a bunch of nobodies stop it .
simple as that .
matthew broderick
stumbles over his lines , and it 's hard to picture hank azaria in any role besides his classic dog - walking character on the television show " mad about you " .
the dialogue seems to be improvized , almost as if there was no rehearsel done at all .
i can see the scene on the set right now .
"
all right !
we spent all of this money making big special effects , and we 've got ta get this movie out by summer
or it 's going to bomb in our faces .
so , you actors just say what ever comes to the top of your head , all right ?
make up something , m'kay ?
good .
roll film ! !
"
the special effects are enough to keep you interested through one viewing , and some of the cinemtography is well - done ( the scene with the black umbrellas comes to mind ) .
still , an hour into it , you will become antsy , wondering how long they can drag it out . and drag it out they do ! !
i have to laugh .
the slogan for the film is , " size does matter " .
i think they cut this too short .
it should read , " size does matter .
acting does not .
"

N

question:
" 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 .

question:
another ' independent film ' , this comedy , which was brought by miramax for $ 5 million , is good fun
.
favreau and vaughn
( the lost world : jurassic park , 1997 ) play mike and trent , two everyday 20somethings on the lookout for women .
the film just basically follows their plight on the lookout for lurve , and along the way we get to meet some of their friends , see their attempts at chatting up girls , and just basically get a insight into their lives .
and all of this is great fun .
swingers does n't rely on huge special effects , or big name stars to provide entertainment .
no , it just has a great script and superb little known actors .
the script , by favreau , is great .
mike is always missing is girlfriend , who has n't called him for six months , and every time he meets a girl , he always end up telling her about the ex .
the audience feels for this pathetic little man , thanks to the great script .
vaughn is ' the money ' ( swingers speak for ' the best ' ) as the womanizing trent , always on the lookout for a new girl .
some of his chat - up lines are awful , but he always seems to get the girl thanks to his ' hard man ' nature .
vaughns character also gets the best laugh in the film , towards the end in a diner .
the conversations that go on between mike and trent are great , but it never quite reaches tarantino standards ( which i suspect the film was trying to reach . )
there are some excellent , laugh out loud jokes in the film , and some superbly funny set pieces ( such as favreau cringe - worhy battle with a answer machine that always cut him off before he finishes his sentence .
embarrassing to him , hilarious to the audience . )
mike & trents friends are also good , although there characters seem a bit underwritten , and we never really learn as much as we would like about them .
although this is primarily mike and trents film , it would of been nice to learn a bit more about their friends .
they just seem to wander aimlessly in the background .
but again , the lines they say are usually pretty good , and they do have some funny parts .
it 's just a shame that they did n't have more meatier roles .
the acting is superb .
as said above , vaughn is superb as trent , he 's definitely the best thing in the film .
favreau is also good , acting as ' the little man ' very well , and the way he always feels sorry for himself is very funny .
graham ( boogie nights , 1997 ) has a small but good role as lorraine , a girl mike finally falls in love with .
she hardly features in the film at all , but she still manages to make an impact on the audience .
swingers , then , is funny , but it does have some flaws .
firstly , the running time is a bit too short .
the film comes to an abrupt halt , and i actually wanted the film to carry on longer .
it never really comes to a satisfying conclusion , which is a shame , as most films are too long !
also , this type of film has been done too many times , such as sleep with me ( 1994 ) .
but these small flaws do n't really spoil what is a funny , entertaining comedy .
