Now Mr. Miller is 'Saving private Ryan' in the cinemas around P.R.China
now,issuing orders with fluent,standard chinese.We are very lucky to see
this great movie so soon. When the soldier (who speaks a little Franch and
Germen ) shooted the Germen soldier formerly released by Miller,I heard a
6-7 year old boy near me sighed:'oh,from start to the end,he shooted only
one enemy!"

Subject: [MV] MovieJuice! - Enemy of the State
ENEMY OF THE STATE - THE FRESH CONNECTION
by Mark Ramsey
http://www.moviejuice.com
November 22, 1998
This theater was cold! Was it the excitement that made me tremble or just the physiological effects of hypothermia? Maybe the frigid temp was designed to make me ignore the 2 1/2 hour running time of Enemy of the State which - despite being a good flick - is definitely an Enemy of My Body Clock. Still, it's dog years, compared to Beloved, and yes, I just used "dog" and "Beloved" in the same sentence.
In case you were wondering whatever happened to former Cosby teen dream and one-time Lenny Kravitz main squeeze Lisa Bonet, wonder no more! Lisa, whose cinematic highlight reel consists of three blood-soaked, naked minutes from Enemy of the Bath Mickey Rourke's Angel Heart - has magically earned billing over the likes of hyper-talents Jason Robards and Gabriel Byrne! Correct Jeopardy question: "What is 'when Hell freezes over,' Alex?"
Now don't get me wrong. Lisa was a human testosterone ignition switch every Thursday at 8:00 during the 80's, but time has not been kind to that most pissed and 'tudinal of all the Cosby clan.
As Lisa passes a video to Will Smith over a table in Enemy of the State, her bare arm reveals a long-held family secret: She's first cousin to a Grizzly! Lisa, was there an arm stylist on crew? Is that a necklace or a flea collar? Does your acting coach double as a shepherd? Do you prefer electrolysis or a weed whacker? Are you auditioning for Disney's "The Lion Queen"? One sudden wind gust and Lisa goes Twister, thanks to those arm dreads. Is there a full moon tonight? Sorry, Lisa. That's your brain pain, doll.
Although Lisa earned no residuals off innumerable Cosby repeats, she was able to rent out pelts for various Arctic expeditions. Since she and Lenny parted ways, Lisa's been living quietly with husband Bigfoot in the Oregon wilderness. She's busy now working on her next flick: "Bushmen of the Kalahari."
In her spare time, Lisa cares for the love child of newlyweds Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra. "I love little Anti-Christ like he was my own," says Lisa. "He's always fighting his parents for dibs on eyeliner."
What's Enemy of the State about, anyway? Will Smith is being chased by the National Security Agency because he's a very smart and successful Black man and the government is generally against that kind of thing.
It seems that a guy from all the Kevin Smith movies has accidentally lucked out with a video that incriminates the NSA and - at the same time - lucked into three lines of dialogue in a Jerry Bruckheimer film. That, by the way, is about two lines more than Gabriel Byrne. What's with that, Gabe? Several months ago, I saw Gabe in a hotel lobby in LA. He was sitting quietly, puffing a cancer stick. Little did I know that he was bound to make a career out of it.
So the Kevin Smith guy gives the tape to Will, but Will doesn't realize he has it. Will, you see, is busy shopping for lingerie in a store where the employees model the merchandise. Only in a movie would such a place be nearly empty. Meanwhile, the Feds figure out that Will's got the goods. Much enthusiastic chasing ensues, and so on and so forth.
The idea here is that Big Brother is watching and you'd better look out. Thanks to a bunch of plaid-clad hipster hackers with Top Secret street cred, every move you make is watched, every sound is heard, every Star Trek chat room monitored, every Cindy Crawford photo downloaded. That's right, in less time than it takes your PC to boot up, these kids know everything there is to know about you with time to spare for a Special Op X-Ray Spectral Morpho-Analysis of the "Truth" beneath Scully's Armani duds.
As with all Jerry Bruckheimer movies, the bad guy guerillas (no pun intended, Lisa Bonet) possess trademarked spiky blond Nordic God haircuts and enough firepower to take down not only Will Smith but also Will's firebrand wife Jada Pinkett - one part actress, one part Tasmanian Devil. If ever there's a war, put me on Jada's side and let the games begin!
If it's comedy you're seeking, you'd better seek elsewhere. The play's the thing, here. Will's definitely on surer ground when there's a joke count, but "charisma" is his middle name (Lisa Bonet's middle name, by contrast, is "c-hair-sma"). And God Bless Gene Hackman, the King of Keepin' it Real! I love Gene. Here's an older actor who can keep up with the kids without resorting to a "Breathing Double." You go, boy!
I could go on, but like Kate Moss, I'm suffering from exhaustion and over-work. There's too much running on the runways and the catwalks are too catty. All that walking and posing and strenuous changing. Unfortunately, Kate's career options are limited to positioning boobies in spandex or eggs in supermarket bags.
Personally, I'd take the boobies. You need to be more careful with eggs.
They're real.

Yes it does seen to have quieted down a bit. So here's my two cents. I
just saw Meet Joe Black. I really did like the story and found it quite
touching. But, was it just my imagination or was Claire Forlani
squinting through the whole movie? Maybe those production lights are
just too strong for her. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Clair wears glasses, pretty thick ones, so you're probably right.
She did the same thing in Mallrats, though they let her wear them in
