[EX Q]: synopsis : lifelong friends rafe ( affleck ) and danny ( hartnett )
join the us air force and are stationed at pearl harbor , hawaii .
rafe goes to england to fight alongside british pilots and is seemingly killed in action .
danny falls in love with rafe 's girlfriend , evelyn ( beckinsale ) , but rafe survives and returns to confront his former friend .
meanwhile , the japanese sneak attack is imminent . . .
review : " pearl harbor " is a perfect example of movies as product rather than as art .
it is little more than a crassly - calculated attempt to woo the masses , enticing them with big stars , big effects , and a big setting -- but no heart .
it is difficult to criticise the actors , because they do everything the movie demands of them . sadly ,
this amounts to barely more than reciting dialogue of such sheer banality that it makes one eager to see the script randall wallace wrote with his right hand at the same time as he was writing " pearl harbor " with his left .
the plot here is pure cliche , and the wartime setting simply a convenient backdrop .
there is no genuine exploration of what pearl harbor meant to the united states , and no insight into its vital role in inciting that country to join world war ii . instead , there is just an assembly - line love triangle , some empty patriotic rhetoric , and a laughable attempt to placate japanese viewers via the inclusion of some reticent imperial commanders ( when one intones , " i fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant " , i nearly fell out of my seat ) .
to the movie 's credit , it does include a fantastic portrayal of the attack itself , an exciting and dizzying hour which plunges viewers into the war .
if only the remaining two hours had been crafted with such skill , perhaps this memorial day non - event would have been worth watching .

[EX Q]: talk about beating a dead horse !
when home alone was released in 1990 , it was a breath of fresh air , and the final box office tally indicated how much audiences appreciated a genuinely - funny family film .
the unexpectedly high gross guaranteed a sequel , so ,
two years later , we were subjected to home alone 2 , which might as well have been called clone alone for all of the originality it exhibited .
for john hughes , two home alone movies were n't enough ?
he began recycling the same kinds of villains and situations in almost every movie he was involved with , including a pathetic box office bomb called baby 's day out , last year 's live - action 101 dalmatians , and this year 's flubber .
now , inexplicably , hughes has exhumed not only these worn - out plot elements , but the " home alone " name as well . the result ?
1997 's worst sequel
( edging out speed 2 and batman and robin ) , home alone 3 . by changing the characters , hughes ( who wrote and co - produced the film ) , along with his co - conspirator , director raja gosnell , has attempted to inject new life into a series that is way past the point of cardiac arrest .
the new kid , alex pruitt , is played by alex d .
linz ( one fine day ) , and
the only thing he has going for him is terminal cuteness .
he 's not half as interesting as macaulay culkin once was .
the villains , pale copies of joe pesci and daniel stern , are even less engaging than the pair of idiots in flubber .
in home alone 3 , there are four of them ( olek krupa , david thornton , lenny von dohlen , and rya kihlstedt ) , but all that means is an opportunity for twice as many pratfalls .
this time , the kid is n't left home alone because his parents have gone on a trip .
instead , he has developed a bad case of chicken pox , so he ca n't go to school .
his dad ( kevin kilner ) is away on business and his mom ( haviland morris ) has to run errands , so , for the most part , he 's all by himself during the day .
through a series of coincidences too irritating to relate , a top secret u . s .
air force integrated circuit comes into his possession .
it 's wanted by a gang of four international crooks who intend to break into alex 's home to retrieve it .
the eight- year old , who is wise beyond his years , booby traps the house with all sorts of rube goldberg - type devices designed to humiliate and incapacitate the villains .
the movie 's climax takes place during a raging snowstorm ?
only none of the falling flakes looks remotely believable .
previously , the most counterfeit - looking snow effects i can remember were in star
trek iii .
these are far worse .
in fact , the production values are so shoddy that there are some scenes in the midst of this near - blizzard when a shining sun can be seen .
if it 's a wonderful life could generate real- looking snow back in the 1940s , why ca n't home alone 3 , which has a significantly larger budget and ' 90s technology at its disposal ?
there has been an ongoing debate regarding the appropriateness of live - action cartoon violence for young children .
home alone 3 will add fuel to the fire .
it 's one thing to see wyle e . coyote flattened by a 10 ton acme weight , but quite another to watch a running lawn mower fall on
lenny von dohlen .
adults and even older children will recognize that this is obviously fake and intended to be humorous , but what about five and six - year olds ?
the level of violence in home alone 3 is extreme ?
many of alex 's schemes are nasty enough to kill .
but , because this is a " family film , " no one dies , despite being electrocuted , falling thirty feet , and getting smacked on the head by a barbell .
not only is home alone 3 unnecessary , but it 's offensive .
it 's an exercise in tediousness , and there is n't a genuine laugh to be found from the beginning to the end ( unless , by some strange quirk of fate , you have missed every 1990s movie associated with john hughes , and thus have n't seen this stuff before ) .
i ca n't imagine anyone with a reasonable attention span being more than momentarily distracted by this pointless adventure .
maybe that 's why the only ones laughing at the screening i attended were still in their thumb - sucking years .

[EX Q]: many people will not find much to like in what dreams may come , the new film by visionary director vincent ward .
most will come to see the computer animated landscapes and vibrant colors .
but little do they know ( as i so plainly found out ) that this has quite a complex story to tell .
walking out of the theater , i could see the audience 's disgust . . .
one member even had to be awakened after the film ended .
do n't believe the previews that you see .
. .
this is definitely not a film for everyone .
this is quite possibly one of the most adult - oriented films to come out in recent years .
kids will get bored with the slow plotting and the complex storyline .
the plot is just as fluid as the heaven that ward presents to us .
it goes back and forth in time , as if it has no boundaries .
think of the film city of angels .
now add a more complex screenplay and a more unique vision .
both films deal with the afterlife , but i doubt what dreams may come will do well at the box office .
costing around $ 85 million to make , the film would have to do extremely well in order to make it 's money back .
but due to it 's story , i doubt it will .
for everyone who thought titanic 's story was too simple and cliche , here is proof that if james cameron had written a more complex screenplay , it may not have done nearly as well .
but do n't get me wrong .
. .
i hope the film does do well .
it 's a vision of pure visceral enjoyment that hardly ever gets put to the screen .
i doubt most of us could have thought of this place , even in our own mind .
what dreams may come is the second best film of the year when it comes to visuals .
the only film that surpasses it is dark city .
full of rich , shocking colors
, we get to see a heaven that most of us would probably die to get to .
but do n't do that , because you 'll end up going to hell .
what dreams may come begins with two boats colliding on a lake .
chris " christy " nielsen ( robin williams ) is startled by the sudden jolt , but is even more startled by the beauty of the woman in the other boat .
annie ( annabella sciorra )
spies chris , as well , and both eventually bond and get married .
annie is an artist , whose paintings are colorful , lush , and surrealistic .
chris is a doctor and loves annie more than life itself .
they also have two children , marie ( jessica brooks ) and ian ( josh paddock ) .
but one day , the two children are killed in a car crash , and it almost destroys annie .
she tries to commit suicide , but fails , and is then put in an institution .
chris copes with the problem by realizing they are n't around anymore , and nothing will change that .
just as annie gets her life back in order , chris is killed while trying to save the life of a car crash victim .
chris goes to heaven , or his version of heaven , rather .
guided by albert ( cuba gooding , jr . ) , chris explores his new surroundings with pure delight and joy .
that is , until he realizes how miserable he is without annie .
prior to heaven , he would try to comfort annie , but the more he was around , the more pain she felt .
chris decides to leave her alone .
little does he realize what will happen next .
i 'm not about to say , because the plot point is crucial to the rest of the story ( many critics , however , give it away ) .
certainly , chris dying is crucial to the plot , but they tell you that he dies in the previews .
story is not necessarily important for this movie to work , because it deals with the afterlife .
however , strangely , virtually nothing is heard of god or the devil .
a couple of comments here and there , but the story maintains its focus on chris and his search for the love of his life .
"
we 're soul mates !
"
chris exclaims .
heaven , in movies , is almost always depicted as a glowing city of white , purity , and love .
usually , it also looks like it rests among the clouds .
but what dreams may come goes a different route .
it shows us a heaven that most of us have never seen before .
chris ' heaven is his memories brought to life .
his thoughts can make anything real , and he makes the paintings annie drew become his heaven .
"
i 've never seen anyone use real paint before , " albert says .
equally good as the depictions of hell which cast away the normal stereotypes of fire and brimstone .
instead , it 's a state of being .
in one gloriously horrific scene , chris and his " tracker " ( max von sydow ) arrive at a sea of faces .
thousands of heads are stuck above ground , their bodies somewhere else .
mostly dead silent , some quips are made , almost as if to lighten the mood .
it 's truly a frightening sequence .
production designer eugenio zanetti is definitely going to be up for an oscar nomination .
using state of the art computer technology , worlds are created for exploration .
sometimes , some scenes play out as if they are only there for the visual impact .
it 's not necessary to be there , but we appreciate seeing it .
costume designer yvonne blake ( who also appears in the film ) has done an incredible job providing some interesting and colorful costumes .
cinematographer eduardo serra , whose work was last seen in the luscious wings of the dove , has a difficult job , as most cinematographers do working with special effects .
but serra 's entire universe is a computer generated image , and he does a masterful job .
writer ron bass , adapting from the novel by richard matheson , provides a very fluid screenplay with no real set plot .
the story is extremely vague in its details , allowing viewers to think for themselves about the meaning .
and director vincent ward
puts it all together into his final vision .
what dreams may come is a good example of german expressionism which may just turn off a good portion of the audience .
your average movie goer more than likely is n't used to expressionistic techniques .
the film will also definitely draw attention from religious people , but they should n't take it too far .
it is , after all , just a movie .
robin williams has continuously impressed with his dramatic performances , while his comedic roles have been suffering .
his comedy is perfection when he makes up his own stuff , but when is confined by a screenplay , he is n't quite as effective .
but drama is really his strong point , and you can see that here .
it 's doubtful he 'll get another oscar nomination , but i would n't really mind if he did .
the real surprise here is annabella sciorra who impressed last year with cop land .
this may be her breakout role and may garner her some much needed attention .
it 's also quite possible that she could get an oscar nomination
.
however , the academy does n't like to award performances for these types of films .
cuba gooding , jr . has been better , but he 's certainly not distracting .
max von sydow is underused , as are jessica brooks and josh paddock .
a treat for some movie goers is to see werner herzog appear ( if they even recognize him ) as chris ' father lost in the sea of faces .
it 's not hard to see why herzog would be attracted to this film , considering he thinks that audiences are starving for great images .
overall , it 's williams and sciorra 's film .
what dreams may come is rated pg-13 for thematic elements involving death , some disturbing images , language , and some partial nudity .
the film is definitely aimed at a more adult audience .
some will find the plot distracting .
some will find the visuals absolutely glorious .
and some will find both .
the only real problem with the film , that i could see , was that it slows down considerably during the midsection , just after we have been immersed in the visuals and before the search for annie begins .
by the way , some controversy even surrounded the title , which was mistaken for a sexual term ( " what " becomes " wet " and you should understand ) .
in actuality , the title is from a soliloquy in hamlet .
just thought i should let you know .
