Subject: [MV] REVIEW: THE AVENGERS

From: Scott Renshaw <[e-mail]>

THE AVENGERS
(Warner Bros.)
Starring:  Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, Sean Connery, Jim Broadbent.
Screenplay:  Don Macpherson.
Producer:  Jerry Weintraub.
Director:  Jeremiah Chechik.
MPAA Rating:  PG-13 (profanity, violence)
Running Time:  89 minutes.
Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.

     There's bad buzz, and then there's the the bad buzz which
surrounded
THE AVENGERS, the kind that sounds like a swarm of Africanized bees
after
a particularly vigorous hive-shaking.  Disastrous test screenings, it
was
said, had led to a furious round of damage control, including multiple
re-shoots of the ending, a release date bumped to the dog days of
August,
and forty minutes axed from the original running time.  A gratuitous
"f-word" had even been added to bump the rating from a PG to PG-13.
Then,
all the worst fears seemed to be confirmed when Warner Bros. announced
that no advance screenings would be held for the media.  How fulsome a
stink bomb could they be hiding?

     You may think you're ready for the possibility that a film could be
bad, but little can prepare you for something as pointless, smug and
misguided as THE AVENGERS.  Like the 1960s British television series of
the same name, it concerns a dapper secret agent named John Steed (Ralph
Fiennes) partnered by his employers at the Ministry with slinky but
dangerous Mrs. Emma Peel (Uma Thurman) to protect the world from evil.
Evil in this case takes the form of Sir August DeWynter (Sean Connery),
a
disgruntled former government worker who now can control the world's
weather.  Thus is is up to Steed and Peel to save the world from
meteorological extortion, whenever they have time between rounds of
calculated badinage.

     It is the latter which proves most instantly and consistently
grating
in THE AVENGERS.  Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman spend most of their
scenes
together engaging in a smirk throwing contest, each one trying to look
the
most amused with him or herself, eyebrows so prominently arched you're
afraid someone might sprain something.  This despite the fact that Don
Macpherson's dialogue is a study in witlessness, tossing out
embarrassing
puns as though they were saucy enough to turn Oscar Wilde green with
envy.
Though they generally appear content to let their wardrobe do most of
the
acting for them, Fiennes and Thurman should be commended for one
impressive demonstration of dramatic skill:  they're able to treat the
most mundane comments as though they were nuggets of pure comic gold
bestowed upon the world.

     That kind of quip-heavy self-awareness was certainly true of the
namesake television series as well, so what's so wrong with this
variation
on the theme?  In short, both the personnel and the context.  Patrick
Macnee and Diana Rigg, the most celebrated of the series' pairings,
shared
a genuine chemistry which made the romantic tension fun to watch.
Fiennes
and Thurman appear far too enamored of their own charm and cleverness to
bother connecting with one another.  They're also dropped into a summer
blockbuster milieu entirely inappropriate for light-hearted capering.
Imagine an episode of the old "Batman" series with a $70 million budget,
and you'll understand what's so wrong with THE AVENGERS.  It's hard to
endear yourself to an audience with low-tech campiness at the same time
you're blowing something up every 10 minutes, or sending huge mechanical
insects after our heroes like something out of the speeder bike chase
from
RETURN OF THE JEDI.

     We're long past the point of pretending that plot or character has
anything to do with 1990s-model Hollywood summer fare, so I won't even
bother slapping THE AVENGERS around for exhibiting symptoms of that
particular contagious disease.  But such a film has to give you
something
to latch on to:  engaging performers, effective pacing, a decent villain
to hiss.  Not even Sean Connery, blustering about without the faintest
idea why his character does anything, can pump up the charisma quotient
of
this tedious car wreck of a film.  The closest recent analog to THE
AVENGERS is BATMAN AND ROBIN, but at least BATMAN AND ROBIN had its
sheer
momenteum and comic-book gaudiness to salvage it.  THE AVENGERS is just
action sequences in search of a movie, actors in search of a reason to
keep smirking.  Crimes against film audiences must be avenged; the buzz
of
surly patrons coming out of the theater may be even more frightening
than
the buzz on the film.

     On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 buzz stops:  0.

The person that wrote : "how do I unsubscribe" probably knew how to
unsubscribe. I bet they were just being sarcastic, because they were
replying to Ken Maclean's email which kind of ruined the end of Saving
Private Ryan for everyone that hadn't seen it yet.

Thanks a lot Ken for ruining a movie that I hadn't yet seen but planned on
seeing in the near future.  NEXT TIME BE MORE CONSIDERATE!

Subject: [MV] The Avengers / Buzzy's Review and News

The Avengers

This movie is so gosh darn pretty.  It looks like someone hopped in a time
machine, zipped back to the sixties, snagged a movie reel, and then zipped
back to 1998.  But honest to goodness, I kept falling asleep.

It really, truly, has the look and feel of sixties television.  Though in
1998, sixties television falls flat.  I believe the creators wanted to stay so
true to the original, were such fans, that along the way they lost themselves
in the whole bloody atmosphere.

Ralph Fiennes, the new John Steed, is exceedingly charming.  He has dash and
flair that pour over your skin in a silky smooth bath of pleasure.  But he
succeeds best as sensory candy.  Tasty, yet leaving you unsatisfied.

Uma Thurman, as Mrs. Emma Peel, is lovely and sexily polite.  However she
comes across as not much more than a decorative set piece.  A pretty trinket
to delight the eye.

Sean Connery, as meglomaniacal villain Sir August De Wynter, cuts a buffoonish
figure.  None more so then in an obligatory scene where he faces off Uma's oh
so sexy, Emma Peel.

The cameo by the original, and eternal, John Steed is a delight.  Probably the
best scene in the entire picture.  None could hope to best that man's charm.

So, if you;d like to lose yourself for a while, take a trip back in time, then
go for an afternoon or evening matinee.  Your senses will thank you.

Subject: [MV] REVIEW: YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS

YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS
(Gramercy)
Starring:  Amy Brenneman, Aaron Eckhart, Catherine Keener, Nastassja
Kinski, Jason Patric, Ben Stiller.
Screenplay:  Neil LaBute.
Producers:  Jason Patric and
Director:  Neil LaBute.
MPAA Rating:  R (profanity, sexual situations, adult themes)
Running Time:  100 minutes.
Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.

     In an era when too many films bludgeon you with exposition,
desperately afraid of leaving anyone behind, Neil LaBute says as much with
what he refuses to tell you as he does with his words.  His blistering
1997 debut IN THE COMPANY OF MEN explored corporate and interpersonal
power games without ever naming the company, its product, or the city in
which it was located.  In so doing, he gave the story an uncomfortable
sense of generic familiarity.  Now comes YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS, a tale
of the complicated social and sexual dynamics between six urbanites:
college drama teacher Jerry (Ben Stiller); his live-in girlfriend Terri
(Catherine Keener); he best friend Barry (Aaron Eckhart); Barry's wife
Mary (Amy Brenneman); their womanizing pal Cary (Jason Patric); and
artist's assistant Cheri (Nastassja Kinski).

     Chuckle at the rhyming name conceit if you will, but that would only
be your most immediate reaction if you saw them in the closing credits.
You'd spend a bit more time puzzling over the realization that not a
single one of those names was ever spoken during the film.  For all the
memorable conversations LaBute gives to his characters, YOUR FRIENDS &
NEIGHBORS is really about failure in communication, a failure at achieving
any semblance of intimacy.  Cary prepares for his sexual encounters by
rehearsing his pillow talk into a tape recorder; Terri berates Jerry for
"breaking [her] concentration" by talking during sex; Barry and Mary find
themselves unable to talk about their sexual dysfunction problems, leading
to Mary seeking comfort from another man.  Despite the friendship or love
which ostensibly is between them, these six people treat each other like
strangers, as though they don't even know each other's names.

     It's a premise just as provocative as that of IN THE COMPANY OF MEN,
but it's not executed with quite the same skill.  IN THE COMPANY OF MEN
was an example of clockwork plotting, leading a viewer to a powerful
conclusion in which everything that preceded it suddenly took on greater
resonance.  YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS is more pure character study, less
concerned with where the characters are going than with where they are.
The few bits of unique composition LaBute includes, specifically a
recurring scene in an art gallery where only the characters change, are
more self-consciously clever than revelatory.  As intriguing and often
darkly comic as YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS may be, it doesn't entirely
satisfy as a narrative.  It's more like a slice of domestic life sliced
off with the razor of LaBute's caustic words -- Altman's SHORT CUTS as
written by David Mamet.

     That still makes YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS a cut above the
competition, particularly as a showcase for its cast.  Jason Patric sinks
his teeth into the showiest role, the baldly self-absorbed Cary,
delivering one monologue about participating in a sexual assault with a
frightening tenderness.  Aaron Eckhart, the callow Chad from IN THE
COMPANY OF MEN, is almost unrecognizable as the paunchy cuckold who
believes that he has been his own most satisfying sexual partner.  The
women fare less well, with Amy Brenneman a puzzlement as the unhappy Mary,
but every one of the six principal performers has at least one gripping
moment.  YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS isn't the icy triumph IN THE COMPANY OF
MEN was, but it continues Neil LaBute's unflinching, unnerving examination
of language as assault, of every human interaction as a power struggle.
He says all the things we're generally unwilling to admit we say...and,
sometimes, the things we don't say.

     On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 dropped names:  8.

A movie that gets you thinkin'.  There are some superfluous scenes in this
movie but mostly it is pretty interesting and aggravating at the same time.
 Vince Vaughn from Swingers does a really good job as he finds out his
friend has been spending the last 2 years in jail in Malaysia and it is
partly his fault.  Anne Heche does a fine job trying to convince him and
his other friend to go back to Malaysia so that his friend won't hang.  A
lot of moral questions that you will ask your friend as you're leaving the
theatre.  Interesting and well acted (minus a few unnecesarry scenes) - 78%.

As far as I'm concerned, about Bill Clinton,  at least he is human.
I think Monica set him up.  Why else would she be lookimk at the
camera man at just the right moment on the front of nearly all of the
mags.  Right when Clinton hugs her.  How convenient.  How many other
girls or old women did he hug that day at that time?????????/

Dearie, I don't blame you for getting cheesed off about my Avengers review.  I
did get real snippy.  But I would never bag on Blade.  What I meant is that I
find myself nearly orgasmic in anticipation of what is bound to be a
spectacular movie.  Dorf is a doll and Wesley looks tough enough for all kinds
of fun.  I am a lifelong horror, especially vampires, fan.

 Buzzy,I totally agree with you. All I have to say to people on this
list is that if you don't like the reviews, go watch the movie yourself
and develop your own opinions. Remember these are our opinions, and
everyone is entitled to them.

Wow, what a brilliant statement! You should be taken into the
Movies-list hall of fame. It's smart assholes like us that take great fun in
posts like yours. Let's hope you never discover the secret message on
the bottom of every mail. If you are a really good choquette, we can
put you on more lists, maybe some with higher traffic.

Thank you for making my day,

you are so funny

oh,  and keep posting!
