[EX Q]: the last steve martin film i saw , the spanish prisoner , was a very different approach for the comic actor .
as a millionaire leading a massive conspiracy in order to rob " a process " from a clueless businessman , martin 's character did it all for money .
in his most recent movie , bowfinger , martin plays yet another con man except this time he does it to succeed in the film industry .
he wants to direct a successful picture that will force people to remember his name , that will make him more popular at the parties , and , most importantly , that will cause fed ex to deliver important business packages to his front door .
playing the title role , martin is once again the good guy ;
the one we cheer for to complete his low budget action movie .
this con man is very likeable for some reason , even though he is doing the same exact thing as the malicious jimmy del from the spanish prisoner .
maybe the message is that , in hollywood , to win over the trust and friendship of others , you have to be a little evil .
bowfinger is a very clever comedy with great performances from its two stars .
martin , who also wrote the screenplay , is perfect as a jerk with a conscience and eddie murphy does his best " peter sellers " in two different , but equally hilarious , roles ; one as a big time move star and the other as his nerdy , burger king employee brother .
the story follows aging and failing director / producer bobby bowfinger as he makes one last attempt to become a respected member of his field by creating a b - action movie called chubby rain .
in order to attract actors and crew members , bowfinger promises them that hot shot actor kit ramsey will star in the movie .
the only problem is that kit refuses to be in it .
but this wo n't stop the aggressive bowfinger .
he is so determined to complete his film that he decides to put kit in it without even telling him .
he has his actors approach kit on the streets of los angeles in character with a hidden camera filming the footage .
will bowfinger be able to make his film ? or will kit ramsey discover what exactly is going on ?
bowfinger is a very cartoon - like movie that pokes fun at hollywood and its famous residents while simultaneously holding a very solid story line .
the only area where the film really lacks is the cameo department .
this is the kind of movie that cameos are all about , it is always funny to see actors / directors / producers making fun of themselves or co - workers especially in a playful movie such as this .
besides the very repetitive and superflous ending , bowfinger is a joy to watch . if you take a movie like this seriously then you will never enjoy it . if you accept the incredulous plot and the extreme caricatures of real entertainment figures , the movie is great fun .

[EX Q]: its a stupid little movie that trys to be clever and sophisticated , yet trys a bit too hard .
with the voices of woody allen , gene hackman , jennifer lopez , sylvester stallone , and sharon stone , this computer - animated yak - fest ( think toy story [ 1996 ] filled with used merchandising ) is one for the ant - eaters .
the main story is the independence of a worker named z ( allen ) .
he wants more to life than just digging away underground for the colony .
when he finds out about ' ' insectopia , " a mythical place where all insects can run free , z , along with his colony 's princess ( stone ) , journey out into the world to find a meaning for life .
about 15 minutes into the picture , i began to wonder what the point of the film was .
halfway through , i still did n't have an answer .
by the end credits , i just gave up and ran out .
antz is a mindless mess of poor writing and even poorer voice - overs .
allen is nonchalant , while i would have guessed , if i had n't seen her in the mighty and basic instinct , stone ca n't act , even in a cartoon .
this film is one for the bugs : unfunny and extremely dull .
hey , a bug 's life may have a good time doing antz in .

[EX Q]: let me first say that the conditions that i was forced to watch the matrix under were less than ideal .
so i have tried to be as fair as possible considering that my viewing experience was significantly less than ideal .
i watched the matrix in a theater that is in serious need of upgrades at the best of times .
under no circumstances , should it have ever been allowed to show a big budget special effects laden film like the matrix .
this theater , owned by the parent company of one of hollywood 's biggest studios , has n't even graduated into stereo sound yet .
the mono sound that the audience was subjected to sounded as if it was coming out of a speaker that was many years past mandatory retirement age .
in other words , the sound sucked .
as someone used to digital sound in a movie theater , bad sound does n't do anything to add to a film .
i 'm not even going to go into the horrible splicing job that the projectionist did putting this film together .
there , i 've had my rant , now on with the regularly scheduled review .
which sadly wo n't include commentary on the film 's sound which i 'm assuming was spectacular , but i 'm just guessing .
my guess on the sound seems like a fairly solid one considering the visual quality of the matrix .
it is nothing short of stunning visually .
sadly , the rest of the film , while pretty good , does n't quite measure up to the obvious effort that was expended on making this film look so darn good .
the matrix has at it 's core a good concept , although it strays into the confusing side more often than i would have liked .
keanu reeves plays a computer hacker who is drawn into the frightening realization that reality is just a hoax .
it turns out that that many years ago the world was devastated by some sort of disaster .
now machines run the planet and humans spend their lives in a sort of incubator , plugged into a computer network .
the computers are generating a virtual reality world which is a representation of the earth before it was destroyed .
the population of the planet never realizes that their entire life is a hoax and that they really spend their entire lives as comatose .
that is except a small band who have discovered this horrible secret and have escaped their virtual prisons .
they now spend their lives combating the computers in an effort to expose this lie .
reeve 's character , neo , is recruited by this band of rebels led by morpheus ( laurence fishburne ) .
newcomer carrie - anne moss and one of hollywood 's most underrated actors , joe pantoliano , join fishburne in the band of freedom - fighters .
the action sequences are nothing short of spectacular .
this can be attributed as much to the amazing special effects
as to many of the actor 's extensive pre - production training in martial arts .
this lends itself to some of the best martial arts sequences that you are ever likely to see in a film .
when you add this to some of the wild effects in the computer generated world , it all adds up to an eyeful .
as i already said , the visuals far outpace the rest of the film .
acting in the matrix is not bad , but it certainly is n't real good either .
keanu reeves gives his usual fairly emotionless performances .
although to his credit , it is one of his better performances .
laurence fishburne on the other hand often seemed to forget that he was in a sci - fi action film .
more than a few times he delivered his lines as if he thought he was performing in some sort of shakespearean drama .
joe pantoliano was a little under used in this film but he made the most with what he had .
carrie - anne moss turned out a surprisingly good performance for this her first feature film role .
it 's nice to see that she was cast as much for her talent as for her breathtaking looks .
you have to give all of the main actors a healthy dose of credit for the work that they obviously put into the physical training for their roles in this film .
it was clear that no small effort went into getting the moves down perfectly for the fighting sequences .
i also put much of the blame for the somewhat strained performances in the matrix on the dialogue , which was terrible at times .
in more than a few places it got way too existential for my liking and at other times it was just plain weird .
it almost seems as though the writers were having a difficult time trying to figure out how to explain the concept for the movie .
so they decided to make the dialogue as obtuse as possible so that no one could figure out what the heck they were talking about .
thereby covering up any leaps of faith that they may have had to make in the departments of logic and believability .
my other major complaint with the matrix was with the very unsatisfying ending .
the setup for it was hokey and frankly used in many a bad film before .
the ending itself was just plain strange .
the main reasons to recommend the matrix are the visual effects and computer animation which make this a real treat to watch .
while the rest of the film ( acting , dialogue and to a degree plot ) detract from the high production values , they do n't detract enough to prevent me from recommending the matrix as a fun way to spend an evening .
