Subject: Re: [MV] Mulan Review
I have to disagree on this review (I'm opinionated, I can do that). I
thought the animation in Mulan was very artistic and beautiful done,
much more so then in Anastasia. All though Anasasia's animation was
very good, it was also typical. In Mulan, it was obvious the animators
tried to replicate traditional Chinese art without over-doing it. And
they did that to great effect! Also, I thought it wonderful to have a
strong girl character in the movie that could do the things the boy's
did only better, and not just some love-struck girl character like in so
many other animated features. Mulan is the kind of role model I want my
little girl to have! Another refreshing quality was the fact the "bad
guy" was not an inhumane monster, but a real person. This had a
terrifying effect on my four year old! She was more scared by the Huns
in Mulan then I've ever seen her while watching an animated feature
(including Rasputin in Anastasia). I liked Mulan, just for the
animation alone. And my four year old daughter absolutely loved it!
And, after all, isn't that what is important in any Disney animated
feature!

Hollywood Hotline Featured Review
Doctor Dolittle (PG-13) **
While many films are released under the label of "family movie," rarely do
such films live up to the title. More often than not, these films
entertain the wee ones in the family while everyone else remains, quite
frankly, bored. This is most certainly the case with the tepid
_Doctor_Dolittle_, in which even star Eddie Murphy seems bored.
One critical miscalculation stands at the forefront of Betty Thomas's
reworking of the 1967 film based on Hugh Lofting's stories, and that is the
casting of Murphy as Dr. John Dolittle, the physician blessed (cursed?)
with the ability to speak and listen to the animals. Murphy is one of the
funniest, most energetic comedians to ever grace the silver screen, and
here he plays straight man to a bunch of animals, who carry the comic
burden with mixed results. Norm Macdonald has the best lines as the voice
of the stray dog Lucky (his work here is far funnier than anything in
_Dirty_Work_), and Chris Rock elicits some laughs (before growing old) as
the voice of Dolittle's daughter Maya (Kyla Pratt) guinea pig Rodney.
Other celebrity voices, such as those of Albert Brooks, Jenna Elfman, John
Leguizamo, Garry Shandling, and Julie Kavner, are less memorable, thanks to
some uninspired comic patter by screenwriters Nat Mauldin and Larry Levin.
So while the animals shoulder the laugh load, what does Murphy do?
Nothing, basically. He's a strangely passive and sluggish presence though,
to be charitable, the material he is given is hardly anything to get worked
up over. The main plotline is a boring thread involving a possible buyout
of his medical practice, but it's made somewhat tolerable by the amusingly
over-the-top Oliver Platt (a partner in Dolittle's practice), playing a
medically-licensed variation of his harried campaign manager in _Bulworth_.
Barely reaching the level of tolerance is the saccharine "emotional" hook
involving the brainy Maya's low self-esteem. If there is anything more
excrutiating to watch than an unfunny comedy, it is one that vainly
attempts to pull at heartstrings and make an emotional connection it
does not deserve.
Although the totality of _Doctor_Dolittle_ feels incredibly tired,
there is some genuine creativity and brilliance on display by the computer
visual effects technicians and Jim Henson's Creature Shop, which designed
the animatronic creature effects, which were used in conjunction with
actual animals. It is nearly impossible to tell when the real furry
friends end and the effects work begins; the illusion is that convincing.
However, while this would be enough to save a film whose sole purpose is to
depict wildlife, it is not nearly enough to rescue a comedy that is
curiously short on laughs. The harmless _Doctor_Dolittle_'s menagerie of
cute talking animals should delight the young 'uns, but the
delightful-to-all-ages _Babe_ this certainly isn't--a fact that is made all
too painfully obvious when a charmless talking pig arrives on the scene.
IN BRIEF
Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss (R) ***
Much like how aspiring photographer Billy Collier (Sean P. Hayes) says he
is first and foremost branded as "gay" in his cheeky opening monologue,
likely so will this romantic comedy from writer-director Tommy O'Haver.
But when Billy ends his monologue saying that the film is for both gays and
straights, he is not lying. Though the film focuses on Billy's
destined-for-doom love for a straight model, Gabriel (a Rob Lowe/Brad Pitt
morph named--get this--Brad Rowe), _Kiss_ does not feel exclusionary. This
is mainly because of the endearing character of Billy, who is portrayed
first and foremost as a simple, everyday person, not necessarily a gay man.
A great deal of the credit goes to Hayes, who gives a natural, understated
performance tempered with moments of subtle humor. The character of
Gabriel is more of a cipher, but Rowe projects a personality likable enough
to make one understand why Billy would be so taken with him.
For a low-budget effort, _Kiss_ certainly does not look cheap. _Kiss_ is
shot in 2.35:1 CinemaScope, all the better to showcase the vibrant,
near-Technicolor hues created by production designer Franco-Giacamo Carbone
and captured by cinematographer Mark Mervis. O'Haver also makes good use
of the space in the widescreen format; one of his most inventive flourishes
is the placement of still-life Polaroids on the side to depict flashbacks.
However, O'Haver does make some missteps. The drag queen dance number that
accompanies the opening credits (and subsequent drag numbers) is too campy
(or, as Billy calls it, "groovy") for its own good, and two of the three
heterosexual males in the film are one-dimensional, buffoonish cartoons.
Nonetheless, _Billy's_Hollywood_Screen_Kiss_ is an emotionally satisfying
and entertaining film that accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of
making sexual orientation a moot point. (opens July 24)
Hav Plenty (R) ** 1/2
A homeless aspiring writer (Christopher Scott Cherot, who also wrote,
directed, and edited) and a wealthy, engaged woman (Chenoa Maxwell) are
unlikely friends. Of course, the two are obviously destined to be even
less likely lovers, but they naturally can't see it. _Hav_Plenty_ (a
married combination of the two characters' names--Lee Plenty and Havilland
"Hav" Savage) is formulaic, but it has plenty to like, especially Cherot,
who has an appealing self-deprecating air onscreen, an ear for dialogue,
and an eye for realistic details (some blemishes on his forehead are
uncovered by makeup). He and Maxwell have an engaging chemistry, and they
are ably supported by Robinne Lee (as Hav's sister Leigh), Tammi Katherine
Jones (as Hav's snooty twit friend Caroline), and Hill Harper (as Hav's
songwriter fiance).
The film, however, ultimately underachieves, most notably in the general
humor department, relying too heavily on broad, unfunny slapstick (Lee
falls out of a chair, Caroline is doused by toilet water after flushing a
broken bowl). Also, the subtle emotional momentum it manages to build is
erased by the in-jokey and completely unconvincing epilogue, featuring
cameos by Nia Long, _Young_and_the_Restless_ hunk Shemar Moore, the Fugees'
Lauryn Hill, TLC's Chilli, and producers Tracey and Kenneth "Babyface"
Edmonds. The appearance of the sparkling Long just reminds one of a
similar, far-superior African-American romance released last year--the
unjustly overlooked gem _love_jones_.

musical has been on video for years, but never before like this--digitally
remastered (of course) and... in letterboxed format! A special collectors
edition also includes a CD single of the "_Grease_ Megamix" and a complete
script booklet. (Paramount Home Video)

Richard Gere and Julia Roberts will reteam for the first
time since their 1990 box-office hit "Pretty Woman" in
Paramount's "Runaway Bride." The romantic comedy, about a
woman who has left a string of fiances at the altar and a
reporter assigned to write a story about her (sounds like an
update of "It Happened One Night," with Clark Gable and
Claudette Colbert), is scheduled to shoot in October, says
Variety.

Because his movie "Dirty Work" performed so miserably at the
box office, former "Saturday Night Live" comic Norm
MacDonald has had the plug pulled from his proposed next
movie, "Ballbusted." Variety reports that the move by MGM
shocked the film's creative team, Scott Alexander and Larry
Karaszewski, who were set to make their directorial debut.
Their writing credits include "Ed Wood" and "The People vs.
Larry Flynt." "Ballbusted" is being shopped elsewhere.

Elizabeth Taylor, 66, is ready for her close-up. After
enduring illnesses, ailments and other setbacks for more
than a year, La Liz is preparing to go to work this November
in an adaptation of "The Visit," based on a play about a
rich woman who returns to a small village where she had been
abused as a youngster. Variety columnist Army Archerd
reports that the project, according to Taylor's agent, Robby
Lantz, is not being perceived as Taylor's farewell film.
"Like Sarah Bernhardt," Lantz said, "you can expect 10 years
of 'farewells' from Elizabeth." Lantz said Taylor is "in a
good mood to work -- in a good script with a good director
and co-stars, and she is tired of 'guest' appearances. They
are very boring."

I remembered one more. The one that says "Paris is always a good idea" or
something similar is, I believe, from "Sabrina" (the recent remake, if not
both).
