question:
actually , i 'm fairly sure the experience of having my flesh torn and mutilated by barbed wire would have been more positive than watching this movie .
" baywatch " babe pamela anderson lee proves once and for all that she should keep her
double - d 's on the small screen .
at least there you do n't have to pay to see her cleavage .
and for those viewers out there who would only lay down money for this movie in hopes of seeing pam topless ,
hate to burst your bubble , but there are no full - fledged nude scenes in barb wire .
you would n't be reading this review right now if i had known that fact going in .
i ca n't go back in time and reverse my mistake , but i can warn other horny teenage boys out there .
they do tease us a few times with scenes where you almost see her topless
but if she is nude , it 's so quick you ca n't even tell for sure whether you 're seeing her andersons or not .
a nipple hallucination sort of thing .
barb wire was adapted from a comic book , interesting because pamela is probably the only woman who looks like a comic book character in real life , even wearing low - cut leather to do office work ( businesswoman bondage wear ) and having unreal body proportions .
yes , like the mona lisa , pamela anderson is a man - made beauty , probably in more senses than one .
she is a definite beauty , though , and looking at her is never an unpleasant experience .
you 'd just think the woman who began her career as a playboy playmate would n't have any reservations about appearing nude in the movie , because it 's obvious
she was n't pulling a sharon stone and trying to make people pay attention to her acting skills .
i mean , she shows off more cleavage here than a jeweler 's convention .
the movie is set in the year 2017 , " the worst year of my life , " pam says .
( " the worst movie of the year , " i say . )
america is going through a second civil war and pamela is a nightclub owner in the only free city in the nation ( silicone valley , i think ) .
she also hires herself out as a bounty hunter when the price is right , posing as first a stripper and later as a prostitute .
but do n't call her " babe .
"
she hates that , and reminds us of that fact way too many times .
imagine , a woman who does a trapeze strip tease in a bar while having a hose sprayed on her being referred to in such a sexist , demeaning term .
a liberated woman like pamela anderson should n't have to hear words like " babe " during a strip tease , especially since that movie about the talking pig was such a success .
the plot ( ha - ha ) revolves around a pair of contact lenses that allow their wearer to pass through the congressional directorate 's retina scanners .
in the words of one of the characters , they 're " more than meets the eye .
" reminds me of the " transformers " cartoon , and i sure wished the movie could somehow be transformed into something decent , but that never happened .
no ,
the movie just continued on its path of lame action scenes starring pamela van - damme , big - busted kickboxer , and her resistance accomplices , ex - boyfriend axel ( tamuera morrison ) and cora ( victoria rowell ) .
thank god they did n't name her cora reef .
one bad character name is more than enough .
pamela originally does n't take sides , giving some speech about she 's only loyal to the money they pay her , but she changes her mind once the congressional bastards kill her blind brother , jack noseworthy of bon jovi " always " video fame .
i still do n't know if barb wire is a step up or step down for noseworthy , but he definitely is nose worthy ( even if he is n't sponge worthy ) .
pam gets ready to avenge his death by grabbing up an armful of semi - automatic weapons and strapping an ammunitions belt to her chest .
it 's not rambo . . .
it 's bimbo !
mark my words , barb wire will be all over the cinemax network in a year .
it 's got all the elements of the direct - to - video releases featured on hbo 's bastard cousin , the cable channel i 'd never watch if it did n't somehow come free .
it 's got the non - titillating scenes of voyeurism , laughable flashbacks , bad dialogue and action cliches out the wazzoo
.
there 's even a narrator at the beginning setting up the movie 's premise while the words scroll up the screen .
someone needs to tell pamela the wookie this ai n't star wars .
if you 've seen any action flick of the past fifteen years , you 'll recognize plenty of lifted elements .
barb wire has the obligatory trucks flipping over , car crashes , explosions , broken glass and slow - motion shots of bodies falling hundreds of feet to their death .
this is one of those automatic - pilot movies anyone could write or direct .
barb wire has only two things going for it . . .
and i think you know what those two things are .

question:
i do n't expect much from eddie murphy these days .
for the past four years , the gods of cinema -- or the expansive payrolls of studio conglomerates -- have allowed him to make one bad movie after another .
such films as metro , doctor dolittle , holy man , life , and bowfinger have reduced a once great comedic persona to a living and breathing washed - up hack performing as a studio puppet for 20th century fox and universal pictures .
the biggest shame to fall on his shoulders is his newest film , nutty professor ii : the klumps .
the klumps once again revisits the life of sherman klump , an overweight university science professor looking for love in all the wrong places .
sherman has just invented a new " youth drink " that enables man or beast to become younger for a short period of time .
janet jackson is the love interest who chooses the lovable sherman for a soul mate rather than excel at her career as a university professor ( and for the most ridiculous reasons ) .
with love on his mind , sherman is determined to rid himself of his alter ego , buddy love from the first professor , who still resides with vigor inside his psyche and causes sherman to act like a bad imitation of vince vaughn from swingers .
with some convoluted mumbo - jumbo about dna extraction , sherman extracts the " buddy love " link in his dna and smartly deposits buddy into a handy - dandy lab beaker .
but one night , the beaker is knocked over and buddy love is regenerated . . .
because every movie like this needs an unnecessary villain to thwart the good guy .
then the klump family , all played by eddie murphy , step in for some comedic relief involving old people having sex , flabby breasts , a slew of fart and dick jokes , and enough fat people jokes that i lost count after the first thirty minutes .
and did i mention the part where larry miller gets anally raped by an overgrown hamster ?
the movie finally dissolves into a really bad hallmark family special about realizing who you are and what you can be in this world -- with enough soft lighting and people on the verge of tears in every scene .
pure and simple ,
the klumps is a failure .
its script was handled by not one but five screenwriters , and it really shows during the awkward transitions between scenes .
any sense of story and plot were lost in the rewrite process .
it 's more discerning to learn that chris weitz and paul weitz , the team behind one of the funniest films of the last decade , american pie , have their names stamped to this trash .
hey guys - quick
note - keep this movie off of your resumes .
the characterization of sherman 's family , the klumps , is one of the most ignorant stereotypes of a black family i have ever seen in cinema .
everyone member of the family is a large person who wipes the bins clean at a local buffet restaurant like pigs at a trough .
the grandma is an oversexed fiend who constantly talks of ways to pleasure her man and her sagging breasts .
the father is gruff , is fired from a blue - collar job , is sexually inadequate , and can not communicate with his family about his feelings .
the mother is ignorant of all the negativity around her and seems to hold no opinion about anything or anyone .
the brother is silent and brooding and resembles the ice cube gangster character from boyz in the hood .
sherman himself is terribly insecure and never conveys anything for the audience to become attached to .
but the main problem with the film is its inability to create any type of convincing conversational or situational comedy .
the family scenes from the first nutty professor worked so well because their conversations were short and direct .
and you got the feeling that these crass people could n't act like this all the time .
the sequel does the reverse and drives the negatives of the klumps right in to the hilt , making the first five minutes of their interaction enjoyable and the last 55 or so unbearable and pathetic .
after a while , their conversations just become a barrage of frustrated anger tinged with indecency and overworked premises that end up drawing energy away from any type of empathy one might feel for the central themes of the story .
its also a damn shame that the makeup magic of rick baker -- who worked on the original nutty professor and won an academy award for his work on an american werewolf in london -- and amazing digital special effects that enabled murphy to interact with himself in such beautiful motions are built around such a lame story line .
even the best effects ca n't seem to save the most pathetic of movies these days .
now that i think about it ,
the worst thing about this film has to be all the money that it will make .
people will be lined up around the block for it .
the studios will concoct the a sequel for release in the summer of 2002 .
eddie murphy will be signed up to take not just one role or five roles , but he 'll play every character in the movie .
i just ca n't wait to see eddie murphy in a love scene with himself .

question:
after a successful run in australia last year , and with much critical praise heaped upon it , muriel 's wedding opens into medium release this weekend in north america .
muriel heslop is a withdrawn , overweight young woman living in porpoise spit , australia .
she is often the target of her father 's frequent rants at the family , and drowns out her feelings of inadequacy with abba music and fantasies of marriage .
her self - loathing is such that only being we
d
shall she prove herself to be a success ; marriage will transform her into a new person who is respected and admired .
after her four cliquey friends dump her , muriel plots to follow them to a resort where they are celebrating the honeymoon of one of the girls , and muriel 's wedding unfolds from there .
toni collette plays muriel in a winning performance , conveying both the sadness of her character and her desperate eagerness to be accepted .
collette gained a frightening 43 pounds in order to play the chubby title character .
she has a natural screen presence and exudes charisma ,
easily winning the audience over with an honest , painful performance .
collette basically carries the film , appearing in almost every scene .
muriel 's father , bill " the battler " heslop , is portrayed by bill hunter as a slick politician / developer .
while chumming around with young fans and crowing ' you ca n't beat progress ' ( his slogan ) , bill labels his family as worthless and embarrassments .
rachel griffiths plays rhonda , who becomes muriel 's cheeky new friend in the film .
she has good chemistry with collette , and the film suffers when griffiths is off - screen .
muriel 's tormenters , played by pippa grandison , rosalind hammond , belinda jarrett and sophie lee , are two - dimensional caricatures , all saucy , vain and bumblingly spiteful , though that is probably due to hogan 's scripting muriel 's wedding is essentially a genre teen comedy with more intelligence and a lot of charm .
hogan 's use of abba tunes ( which virtually comprises the entire soundtrack ) is interestingly appropriate , although its repetitiveness tires after awhile . hogan 's script is right on the mark in terms of proportionately mixing comedy with muriel 's earnest quest for acceptance , and the gorgeous scene with muriel window - shopping beautifully illustrates the wonder that marriage has for her .
the glaring pastel colours worn by the performers is an interesting touch .
muriel 's wedding features a fine performance by toni collette and a charming , if a bit too straightforward and conventional story by p .
j .
hogan .
on my four star scale , i give muriel 's wedding three stars .
answer:
P
