The American President. Michael Douglas as Andrew Shepherd Annette Bening as Sydney Ellen Wade Martin Sheen as A. J. MacInerney Michael J. Fox as Lewis Rothschild Anna Deavere Smith as Robin McCall Richard Dreyfuss as Sen. Rumson John Mahoney as Leo Solomon. Rated PG-13 For Some Strong Language. It is hard to make a good love story, harder to make a good comedy and harder still to make an intelligent film about politics. Rob Reiner's "The American President" cheerfully does all three, and is a great entertainment - one of those films, like "Forrest Gump" or "Apollo 13," that however briefly unites the audience in a reprise of the American dream. The movie is, above all, a witty and warm romance. The president of the United States, Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) has been a widower for several years. One day, he meets an environmental lobbyist, newly arrived in Washington, named Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening). For him, there is a powerful attraction at first sight, and he asks one of his aides what the reaction might be if he asked her to be his companion at a state dinner. The aide asks if he should have a pollster "put together some numbers. " But that is precisely the impulse the president is struggling against: the need to measure every action by how it will "play. " Shepherd gets her number from the FBI, picks up the phone and calls Sydney - who cannot believe it is really the president, because she has just moved in with her sister and has no phone of her own. She hangs up. The president calls back. ![]() Convinced she is talking to a prankster, she compliments him on his "great - - -. " Because both Douglas and Bening are believable in their roles, and because the power and bureaucracy of the White House already have been credibly established in the opening scenes, this moment works not as sit-com but as explosive comedy. Comedy, after all, is a release of tension, and by making the key players both realistic and sympathetic, and then erecting the monumental barrier of the modern presidency between them, the movie creates real stakes: We care, and find ourselves caring throughout the film, whether they will be happy together. Many of the film's big laughs come from the president's difficulties in doing simple things in ordinary ways. He doesn't want his staff to handle personal matters. But how can he order flowers over the telephone when his credit cards "are in storage with your other stuff in Wisconsin"? How can he bring a date home when the White House is ringed by breathless tabloid reporters? And what about Sydney, a serious career woman, who is told by her boss (John Mahoney), "The time it will take you to go from presidential girlfriend to cocktail party joke can be measured on an egg timer. " The screenplay by Aaron Sorkin keeps three elements in tension all during the movie. One is the personal relationship between Shepherd and Wade. Another involves her job, as a lobbyist for an environmental group that needs key votes to pass a crucial fuel bill. The third is the situation inside the White House, where Shepherd, a liberal, faces an election-year challenge from a powerful conservative (Richard Dreyfuss) and is trying to get a controversial crime bill passed. In a standard Hollywood production, the political aspects would be papered over with vague generic terms, and indeed the president probably would not be identified by ideology. What's admirable about "The American President" is that real issues - gun control, the environment - are handled realistically, in a series of subplots leading up to a presidential press conference that has a certain resonance even in the current political climate. (The liberal Shepherd learns that he must be decisive and take unpopular stands. ) The movie's center is of course the love story, and Douglas and Bening have remarkable chemistry; their scenes are written and played in a way that develops the comedy without sacrificing the notion that two such people might very likely find themselves in similar situations. The inevitable strategic questions (like whether the power of "the most powerful man in the free world" extends to his bedside prowess) are part of the general embarrassment that both feel because the presidency, in a sense, comes between them. Douglas has specialized recently in more overtly sexual roles, as in "Disclosure," where he seemed like the hapless instrument of the plot. Here he seems so much more three-dimensional, more vulnerable, smarter, more likable. And Bening is simply luminous; I had hoped to conduct my career as a film critic without ever once writing that a smile "illuminates the screen," but something very like that happens here. Looking around, I noticed the audience smiling back. Surrounding Douglas and Bening is a superb supporting cast: Martin Sheen is the president's right-hand man, Michael J. Fox is his ideological conscience, Anna Deavere Smith is his press secretary, David Paymer is a pollster. (His name, Kodak, suggests his snapshots of the national mood, just as Shepherd is an evocative name for a president. ) Shawna Waldron plays the president's pre-teen daughter, whose role is as intelligently written and played as everyone else's. Among the many emotions that "The American President" re-awakens, one of the best is simple affection for the presidency. When I was growing up, "thepresidentoftheUnitedStates" was one word, said reverently, and embodied great power and virtue. Now the title is like the butt of a joke; both parties have lessened the office by their potshots at its occupants. Reiner suggests the moral weight of the presidency while at the same time incorporating much of the inside information we now have about the way the White House functions. Watching "The American President," I felt respect for the craft that went into it: the flawless re-creation of the physical world of the White House, the smart and accurate dialogue, the manipulation of the love story to tug our heartstrings. It is also a film with a liberal political point of view, and that takes nerve; it would have been easier to create an Identikit president with manufactured issues. This is a great entertainment - one of the year's best films. Popular Blog Posts. Plagiarizing "Star Wars": The Problems with "The Force Awakens" Gerardo Valero.

Writer Julia Hart and director Daniel Barber develop the women's relationships at a careful, steady pace, giving them time to bond; this is essential since they must learn to trust and respect each other to survive. Dark, brooding and brutal, "The Keeping Room" features finely carved performances in a Civil War period piece that might as well be post-apocalyptic. While the gender-based farmhouse siege is suspenseful and bloody, director Daniel Barber weighs in too heavily with extended silences that slow down the goings-on of a film that has darkly lit tension, lovely scenery and fiercely presented ideas. The landscape is appropriately lush, the brutality is deftly rendered, and if the action is minimal, that may be because it isn't quite the point. The scattershot story doesn't fully serve this stellar cast, as the drama often flags. But when it connects, the tension is almost unbearable. Despite its sparseness and haunting photography, the film proves to be little more than a home-invasion thriller low on thrills. The Keeping Room tells a story we actually need to hear, no matter how many times it'll take for the audience in attendance, or the reader at his Twitter, or the police in the station, to listen. With the feminist themes lurking in the background but never explored in a satisfying manner, The Keeping Room is hard to see as anything other than a missed opportunity. A film in which Daniel Barber returns to the western, focusing again on female figures isolated in a hostile landscape. [Full review in Spanish]. At times the film approaches pure horror, shocking the audience and making it expectant of what can happen next. [Full review in Spanish]. The director has distanced from the material, translating into a lack of nerves that fails to correct a final shot that closes the film. [Full review in Spanish]. The Keeping Room shines thanks to exchanges between Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld and Muna Otaru. Audience Reviews for The Keeping Room. There are no featured audience reviews yet.

The mildewed found-footage technique allows some tension to build from offscreen action, but also renders the knockoff John Williams score inexplicable. This cutesy E. -like sci-fi drama is utterly undermined by its own shooting style. It is a smart, visually dynamic film, but audiences may miss Spielberg's wonderment. This kind of magpie filmmaking can work with a sincere core, but the big problem is that Earth to Echo lacks one. It's all spare parts. Does for E. what Super 8 did for Close Encounters. As lovably '80s as Reece's Pieces and pop socks. You can imagine ET phoning his legal team, but although this kids' sci-fi adventure is derivative, its characters are drawn with more care and insight than you'd expect. Whenever Echo is sticking to the kids and their camaraderie, it mostly works as intended. Clichéd and predictable it may all be, there is no denying the infectious quality of pure optimism. Sad to say it is not even this generation's 'Short Circuit. ' Families deserve much better entertainment at the movie theater, summer or otherwise. All in all, "Earth to Echo" is passable family entertainment, neither unforgettable nor particularly bad. It has a good young cast, some occasionally dazzling special effects and a message that even when growing friends grow move apart it's not the end of their own little world. Earth to Echo won't wallop young viewers, but I wouldn't be surprised if kids who catch this at the right age are utterly captivated. Audience Reviews for Earth to Echo. E. meets The Blair Witch, meets The Goonies in the bizarre family film Earth to Echo. The story follows a group of kids who are losing their homes to a land developer and decide to spend their last night together following a mysterious map that's been sent to their phones by an alien life-form who needs their help. Unfortunately the performances aren't very good, which makes it difficult to get invested in the characters. And the found-footage conceit doesn't work; as the whole thing feels especially contrived. Still, the storytelling is able to build some intrigue and does a few interesting things with its alien design/technology. Also, the CGI and special effects help to create impressive visual sequences that add some wonder to the adventure. But in the end, Earth to Echo is an underwhelming film that doesn't really go anywhere. Imagine if E. T and Super 8 had a baby and this would be what comes of that very weird and awkward tryst. Thematically this is pretty much a ripoff of E. T all the way through. Kids find alien who just wants to make his way home. Things get complicated, of course, when they find out that the government is also after this alien and they fear they'd dissect their new alien friend alive to study him. So they're in a race against time in order to get their friend on his way home. Of course the settings and the situations themselves are different but, by and large, the main plot points follow E. T almost down to a T. To the point where I'm surprised Spielberg didn't sue for plagiarism. Of course Echo's filmmakers could argue that their film was inspired by E. T and point out several differences in the way the story is present, like the found footage style, for example and probably get away with it. I think that, partly, this was meant as a tribute to Spielberg's classic and it just comes across like it's shamelessly stealing from it. But I digress, this film isn't really as bad as it probably looked on paper, and when the first trailers came out. It's clear that this is meant for the preteen to early teen demographic, I mean it was clearly designed as such. Even with that, this movie is fairly average. almost good to be honest. I do not know what it lacked that would have made it truly good, but it was close to being. Perhaps if the characters had a little more depth, but at 90 minutes long, there's no real time for that. The only one with a real personality would have to be Munch, who's the obsessive-compulsive, neurotic one of the group. There's the foster kid, there's the cameraman, and the girl. the other characters' personalities boil down to this, they're just descriptions on a piece of paper. And it's not like Munch really has that much depth, he's just the most entertaining character in the film, but he's also pretty one-dimensional. With that said, I do think that the movie does a good job at highlight the friendship between these 4 kids, and Echo, and how that bond is sort of unbreakable, no matter how far they may be from each other. A little corny, yes, but it's still decent enough. And the casting was good, these 4 make a believable group of friends. It's not like the Apatow guys, or Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, where they're actually friends in real life, so it lends itself perfectly to their comedic chemistry, but they're still decent enough together. The design of Echo itself is clearly done so they could sell merchandise. he's way too cute for his own good. And I don't mean that as a positive. But, considering how much the movie cost to make, about $13 million, it makes sense that they'd want to turn Echo into a merchandising monster. I'm not sure if it worked, since this movie pretty much came and went, but at least they tried I guess. The special effects are pretty good considering the budget. I'm pretty sure there's some plot holes here and there, but every movie has them, even the classics, so as long as they don't make the film impossible to watch, then I'm good. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this movie is, after the movie ends, and before the credits roll, they show some photos of stars from earth and it looks absolutely outstanding, particularly on a HDTV. Whoever took these photos did an incredible job. It doesn't exactly affect my thoughts on the film, but the photos themselves are beautiful. This isn't near close to perfect, but it does offer a somewhat interesting diversion and it'll definitely hold the kids' attention for a couple of hours. This is a decent rental, since it offers nothing truly memorable, but it's certainly watchable. Not much redeeming for adults, this film is nonetheless terribly creative and should be viewed by imaginative children. Micah has maintained over the post. Placidly suberose mantillas are the egos.

Critic Reviews for Gator. Good-ol'-boy humor is my least favorite form of masculine love-antagonism in the cinema, but even a generous-minded peckerwood ought to weary rapidly of the snorting, yokking, hooting interplay. the film's pace is deadly slow and aimless. Yahoo! It's Burn (again) in a fast car. Audience Reviews for Gator. "Even though it's the sequel, I think it's actually the stronger of the two films. I haven't even seen the original "White Lighting" and I don't think I'll bother now. There were no redeeming qualities in this film. A few great boat jumping stunts, using visible stunt doubles, was not enough. I like Burt Reynolds. Sue me. Three years after the hixploitation moonshining classic "White Lightning", Burt Reynolds's again portrayed Gator McKlusky in "Gator", but this time he was behind the camera as well in his directorial debut. Anyway, this time around Gator has just been released from federal prison for moonshining when he is asked to help the police nab a crooked politician. Although not as good as "White Lightning", "Gator" is still a fun little film none the less. First off, Reynolds's is excellent in his role, he give a cool and calm performance that makes Gator a pretty easy hero to root for while watching this film. In addition the car chases are pretty sweet and exiting. I also thought Jerry Reed gave a excellent and slimy performance as the crooked Bama McCall. Now, as I said before "Gator" is not as good as "White Lightning" and certainly has its flaws. For one thing, the run time of just under two hours was a bit much and therefore the movie drags here and there, especially towards the end. Secondly and this is a big problem for me, the DVD is in full screen until for some odd reason it switches to wide screen format for the closing credits. That's a real shame because this movie was made to be shown in widescreen as the closing credits demonstrate. Despite those flaws though, "Gator" is still none the less an enjoyable film if not essential viewing. |
