About Me

Posted on July 11, 2019 by mad

This is how I am described by others:

Scathingly funny and right on the mark, Wilson looks at our culture and our obsession with fame and the famous.  It isn’t pretty.  I highly recommend this book if you’re sick of the current belief that celebrities equal God – with their every utterance and handbag scrutinized and purchased by the adoring masses.And if you’re not bothered by all this, you must read the book before you totally succumb and your mind becomes nothing more than a living version of In Style Magazine.…

The Perfect Storm

Posted on July 10, 2019July 11, 2019 by mad

After I saw this film the first thing I thought, besides that I NEVER want to be in a boat in any body of water bigger than a bathtub, was “Boy, am I a weenie.” The fishermen portrayed in this film are tough, competent, uncomplaining, and can smoke and drink more than you ever thought possible. I read the true story the film was based on, so I know that this isn’t just a Hollywood version of sailors. These are blue-collar, hardworking people who you come to like and respect, which is why THE PERFECT STORM delivers such an emotional punch. These men and women of the sea put themselves in dangerous situations daily because they love the water, and fishing is what they do best – they just don’t want to die doing it.

Captain Billy Tyne (George Clooney) is beginning to think he’s lost his edge. He returns from his last fishing trip of the season without catching enough fish to keep the owner of his boat or his crew happy. The youngest and newest member of his crew, Bobby Shatford (Mark Wahlberg), is definitely unhappy with his take, but is ecstatic to be back with his girlfriend, Christina (Diane Lane). Another crewman, Dale Murphy (John C. Reilly), happily gives half his earnings to an ex-wife he still loves and their adored son. Then the three men and other members of the crew, drown their sorrows at the local bar.  They wish for the big catch that will allow them to settle down, yet worry about when, or if, it will ever come. So Billy decides to take the boat out one more time to soothe his pride and his wallet, even though his crew will be sailing when the Atlantic is notoriously rough.

The rest of the film could be summarized by saying, “They go out on the boat and bad things happen,” but THE PERFECT STORM is much more than that. Interspersed between the travails of Billy’s boat, the Andrea Gail, is the story of other boats trapped out in the raging Atlantic. All were caught in what was referred to as the “perfect” storm; three storm systems coming together to create a monster.

The special effects are phenomenal and believable. Whereas the TITANIC consisted mostly of watching a static ocean break through the hull of a massive ship, the ocean in The PERFECT STORM has a personality all its own, brutally assaulting everything in its path. The “Ocean” should have its own screen credit, because it definitely is the ultimate bad guy.

As soon as the sailors hit the boat, the movie roars until the end. But the scenes in the first half of the film (and anytime they cut to the families on land), have a tendency to bring the momentum to a screeching halt. Overacting is the most obvious reason, with actors thinking that playing tough, blue-collar people means speaking in monotone (Clooney) or screeching like a banshee (Lane). Yet the movie really suffers from a screenplay that’s trying to do too much. Characters have backstories that aren’t explained, so you end up with guys glaring at each other and you never know why. I’d recommend reading the book first – sort of like a Cliff Notes for the movie.

Even so, THE PERFECT STORM is rousing entertainment. Adapting a famous and complicated book is always difficult, and I think the filmmakers gave it a good try. It helps that Clooney and Wahlberg bring out the best in each other, and you can’t say too much about that special effects ocean. Yet the best thing about THE PERFECT STORM is that it will make you stop and appreciate the men and women who risk their lives so you can have a piece of fish. I’ll never look at a swordfish quite the same way again.…

The Patriot

Posted on July 10, 2019July 11, 2019 by mad

The problem with history is it isn’t pretty. It isn’t politically correct, nor sensitive to the Zeitgeist (look it up) of the society examining it. Because of this, Hollywood in recent years has steered clear of movies depicting American History. You show cowboys, you offend Indians. You show Southerners during the Civil War, you offend Blacks. You show Pearl Harbor, you upset the Japanese (just you wait until the new film PEARL HARBOR comes out), and now, you show the American Revolution and the BRITISH ARE OFFENDED. Well, no kidding! We beat them! We defeated the British Empire!

Sorry, I digress but let me be very clear here – there is a concerted effort afoot to destroy this film. It’s from certain crazed special interest groups who are doing everything they can to rip this movie apart. Why? Because it has a patriotic viewpoint that is unpopular these days. It has become hip to spout Marxist rhetoric and say that the values of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and all the stuff created by those dead white guys is a fraud.  It’s not the land of the free or the home of the brave, but land of the put upon and the oppressed. Yeah, well, if you feel that way you should thank your stars you’re sitting in a country that lets you say it as you sit in your comfy chair in front of a two thousand dollar piece of equipment and whine about how unfair your life is. But those of you who feel this way won’t care what I say anyway and won’t like this movie either. So this review isn’t for you. It’s for the rest of us.

Beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted, and extremely violent, THE PATRIOT attempts to tell the story of one family during the American Revolutionary War. The Revolution was a hotly contested issue with only about one third of the people siding against King George, so when Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) gets a request to join a local Militia and fight, he declines. Benjamin’s wife is dead, he has six children to support, and he has bad memories of the part he played in the French and Indian War, so he has no interest in returning to battle. Unfortunately, Benjamin’s son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger) is old enough to join, and is angry that a father who believes in freedom is unwilling to fight for it. I won’t go into too much more about the story, except to say that something terrible happens that changes Benjamin’s mind. And as Benjamin fights against the Red Coats (Education Alert: The British), he constantly battles within himself about the “wisdom” of war. Far from an empty-headed, chest-thumping experience, THE PATRIOT tackles the brutality of war along with the necessity. The film also grapples with the issue of human weakness and courage – why will some decent people do terrible things for a higher ideal, while others simply run away? There are no easy answers and thankfully the film doesn’t attempt to give us any.

The acting is wonderful with Mel Gibson giving the best performance of his career. The emotional drama is interspersed with sweet and slyly funny scenes, allowing the audience to both recover and become more involved with the characters. Yes, there are scenes of children with guns but let me remind you – there were no grocery stores then. If you wanted to eat you shot it yourself and if your parents died (which was often) and you were alone, you had to know how to take care of yourself. Also, in both the Revolutionary and the Civil War, people we would consider children fought alongside their parents. That’s how it was. You want pretty, rent a Disney movie.

The Revolutionary War was won mostly by the local militias, made up of farmers and poor people. They used guerilla war tactics against the British, while our military, which in most cases had British trained Officers, still marched toward the enemy in rows, aimed, and yelled, “FIRE.” Not the best way to fight an enormous army that simply bused in more soldiers as thousands were killed.  The British tried to disarm the Colonists in 1773, and if they had succeeded, there would have been no militias, much less a United States of America.  That’s why the second amendment was written –  not so that someone could go shoot a duck, but so that the average American citizen could defend himself and his country as an individual. Because after all, America is a country based on individuals who ran from governments where power was held only in the hands of a few. End of history lesson. 

I realize that this review is more of a rant than most and I’ve veered off the subject of the film somewhat, but it is the powerful message of THE PATRIOT that has caused me to do so. You can watch the film without experiencing all that I have and love it. And if you’re from another country, you can learn something about our history while becoming involved in the well-written screenplay and wonderful acting. But as for the rest of you, don’t be scared off by what you hear even if you disagree with me on certain points – judge the movie for yourself. After all, having the ability to do so is what America’s all about. Right?…

What Lies Beneath Movie Review

Posted on July 10, 2019July 11, 2019 by mad

I’m getting waterlogged – it seems that filmmakers are entranced with drowning as a plot element. After gurgling through Titanic and sputtering during The Perfect Storm, I’m gasping for air after seeing What Lies Beneath. A cinematically perfect take on old-fashioned psychological thrillers, Beneath offers character development and slasher horror. But ultimately, the end result is like a melted Popsicle: wet and disappointing.

Poor Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer) is having a crisis. After surviving a bad car crash the year before, she pops Valium like M&M’s, and wanders the house in the middle of the night instead of staying in bed, even though her husband is Harrison Ford – I mean Dr. Norman Spencer. Plus it doesn’t help things that her beloved daughter is heading off to college. So with lots of time on her hands, Claire starts believing that she’s hearing and seeing things and asks her friend Jody (Diana Scarwid) to join her in some Ouija board action. If you’ve ever watched a horror movie you know this isn’t a good idea.

Now something or someone is really haunting Claire and, of course, her husband thinks she needs a psychiatrist instead of an exorcist. Lots of scary things ensue and finally Claire and Norman find out who her ghost is (or was), and the film deteriorates into predictability. Yet unlike certain dummies who think it’s smart to put MAJOR PLOT TWISTS in their movie trailers, I will stop the story summary here. If Hollywood really wants to boost their theater audience, then maybe they should STOP GIVING AWAY ENTIRE MOVIE PLOTS before films are even released. Doesn’t seem like rocket science to me.

Much has been written about how What Lies Beneath incorporates bits of Alfred Hitchcock films like Rear Window and Psycho. All this is very nice for film nuts, but either distracting or uninteresting for everyone else. Also, the story gets weird in the third act when a major event occurs that explains the car accident, Claire’s dependence on Valium, emotional fragility etc., and is totally ignored. The entire film leads up to this climatic moment, then scurries past it like it’s unimportant. I think that after the studio leaked the major plot twist referred to above, the climax became reduced to a ho-hum event that took up precious screen time better used for bloody knife-wielding.

So while What Lies Beneath isn’t a great film, it’s not a bad one either, with lots of scares that keep the action moving. And it doesn’t hurt that Michelle and Harrison make a likeable and convincing couple. And a wet one.…
