IMHO, there is one role that Keanu does well, and that is Bill (or was it
Ted?) the surfer dude.

His most successful movies have always played on an aspect of this.  Even
the FBI agent (in Point Break, a movie I was really surprised to enjoy) and
cop (in Speed) were pretty much borderline burnouts, going against the
system and everything.  For this reason, I expected Johnny Mnemonic to be
much better than it was; had they written Keanu's character to be less, uh,
professional, perhaps this would have worked.

In some ways, I think this is the type of movie that the producers wanted
Johnny Mnemonic to be.

Like Christi, I was really uninterested in this movie.  However, EVERYONE
that sees this is telling me how good this is, and how much I really need
to go see it.  If Keanu isn't taking himself too seriously (and I hear he
doesn't), and tries to have fun with the role, I can see myself really
enjoying this.

At least it'll do until 19th of May:-)

_Go_ (R) ****
    Since the surprise success of the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film, many films
have tried to become "the next _Pulp_Fiction_."  Films ranging from studio
efforts like the 1996 MGM release _2_days_in_the_Valley_ to the recent
British indie import _Lock,_Stock_and_Two_Smoking_Barrels_ have, in the
name of achieving commercial success and cinematic "cool," purloined at
least one characteristic of that modern-day classic: the seedy underworld
milieu, quirky canvases of characters played by large ensemble casts,
twisty plot threads linking these characters, "hip" dialogue heavy with pop
culture references, and--above all else--ultraviolence.  More often than
not, though, the films end up not so much cool but cold--as in dead (on
arrival).
    With its large cast, crime world setting, and timeline-overlapping
storylines, _Go_, written by first-timer John August and directed by Doug
Liman (who created a different brand of cinematic "cool" with 1996's
_Swingers_), could not tempt failure more dangerously.  Yet of all the
_Pulp_ knockoffs I've seen, this is the first that truly understands and
captures what made that film such a triumph.  It wasn't the casting (though
that definitely helped); it certainly wasn't the violence; nor was it the
snappy dialogue of Tarantino and Roger Avary's Oscar-winning script--at
least not that aspect of the screenplay, anyway.
    The elusive quality in question is the element of realistic surprise.
_Go_ spans one eventful 24-hour span, during which the life paths of Ronna
(Sarah Polley), a teenage supermarket clerk who tries her hand at drug
dealing; Ronna's British co-worker Simon (Desmond Askew); and friends Adam
and Zack (Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf) constantly crisscross through Los
Angeles and Las Vegas.  While following these three threads, August and
Liman find unpredictable yet completely plausible ways to link the stories
and take them in their own wild, roller coaster-like directions--without
ever falling into the cheap trap of gratuitous violence.  To say anymore
would be to rob the viewer of this film's greatest delight: that of discovery.
    Not too far behind is the August's sharp sense of humor (suffice it to
say, his hilarious dialogue and original comic situations do have snap) and
the sterling ensemble.  Everyone does a standout job, but especially
noteworthy are Polley, so good in Atom Egoyan's _The_Sweet_Hereafter_, who
takes a surefooted step toward the mainstream; Askew, a newcomer to this
side of the Atlantic; creepy William Fichtner, playing a cop with a hidden
agenda; and Katie Holmes and Taye Diggs shine in more secondary roles.  Not
to be ignored, though, are the efforts of Liman.  He shows a disarming
visual flair never hinted at in _Swingers_ (which was more of a
script-dependent movie than a director-dependent one), and it is his
guiding voice that assembles the numerous parts into a finely calibrated
thrill machine.
    Because of its largely youthful cast, _Go_ is in danger of--and, in fact,
already has, to some extent--being pigeonholed as a "teen _Pulp_Fiction_,"
and given the films' similarities, that title is not entirely undeserved.
But _Go_ deserves a more favorable comparison.  While not in the same
league as its precursor, what August and Liman have done is use _Pulp_
basics to create a film that is, by its own merits, a fiercely original and
exhilarating entertainment.

IN BRIEF

_Cookie's_Fortune_ (PG-13) *** 1/2
    Robert Altman's most fun movie since 1992's _The_Player_ is this wickedly
enjoyable dark comedy--which, any way you slice it, is one steaming slab of
Southern-fried soap.  Among those populating the small town of Holly
Springs are scheming spinster Camille (Glenn Close); her spineless,
half-wit sister Cora (Julianne Moore); Cora's rebellious daughter Emma (Liv
Tyler), who is carrying on with another half-wit, sheriff's deputy Jason
(Chris O'Donnell); Camille and Cora's octogenarian aunt Cookie (Patricia
Neal); and Cookie's only friend, ever-faithful handyman Willis (Charles S.
Dutton).  As in any soap, this family has more than its share of scandalous
secrets--which gradually break through the surface when one of these people
turns up dead.
    But unlike any soap, there is an uncommon richness of character in Anne
Rapp's script, which carves out memorable niches for even the most
peripheral of characters, such as a sheriff's department receptionist
(Niecy Nash) with the hots for a suave investigator (Courtney B. Vance).
Rapp, Altman, and the well-cast acting ensemble are fully aware of the
preposterousness of the twisted goings-on.  What isn't preposterous,
though, is the craft behind the whole affair, from the precision of
Altman's direction to the uniformly fine work by the acting ensemble, whose
standouts are the terrific Dutton and Close, the latter displaying a comic
gift too rarely seen onscreen.

    If it weren't for Drew Barrymore's delightful presence, this comedy would
be as ridiculous as its premise: mousy newspaper reporter is assigned
undercover duty at a high school, where she attempts to erase her geeky
past.  But with the effortlessly likable Barrymore in the reporter role,
this trifle of a film is quite involving and entertaining, with charm and
heart to spare.

_Twin_Dragons_ (PG-13)
    The first relic from the Jackie Chan Hong Kong film vault to be unearthed
after the success of _Rush_Hour_ is this 1992 action comedy in which the
chopsocky star plays twins separated at birth--one an orchestra conductor,
the other a martial arts master.  I've seen the original HK version of this
film a couple of times, but since the film is certain to have undergone a
few edits (not to mention gaining a completely redone soundtrack) for the
American release, the review will be coming next week.

    All do respect to Roberto Benigni, but Edward Norton deserved to take home
this year's Best Picture Oscar, for this tale of a reformed Neo-Nazi trying
to keep his younger brother (Edward Furlong) from following the same path
is absolutely unthinkable without Norton's powerhouse performance.  Strange
how embattled director Tony Kaye never wanted--and still _doesn't_
want--him for the role in the first place.   (New Line Home Video; DVD also

    The constraints of home video will certainly compromise the earthy visual
splendors of Jonathan Demme's notorious box office and awards season
disappointment, based on Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about
a runaway slave (Winfrey) haunted by a ghost from the past.  However, the
film's wearying tone, languid pace, and timeline hopping are a natural fit
for video (it can be taken in smaller doses as well as rewound for extra
clarity), and the extraordinary performances by Winfrey, Danny Glover,
Thandie Newton, and especially Kimberly Elise (my pick for last year's best
supporting actress) translate in any medium.  (Touchstone Home Video; DVD

    Sony's attempt at a _Scream_-like horror franchise blew up in their face
with this retarded follow-up to the enjoyable--no more, no less--1997 teen
slasher _I_Know_What_You_Did_Last_Summer_.  This time around, vapid heroine
Jennifer Love Hewitt is stalked by the hook-handed killer fisherman while
vacationing in the Bahamas.  Thoroughly unscary, poorly acted (by Hewitt,
fellow returnee Freddie Prinze Jr., Brandy, and Mekhi Phifer), and a
complete bore.  I'm not giving anything away when I say the film ends in
just about the exact same way the original does.  (Columbia TriStar Home

  ...I know Keanu Reeves hasn't proved to be the best actor in the
past, and although I am slightly biased (he is very good-looking ;)
I can be truthful about his acting or not.  And I think it wasn't
that bad.  There were some moments at the beginning that weren't too
impresive, but once he had jumped into his sci fi character I thought
he was fine!  The fact that Keanu's in it, has kept my brother from
seeing it too, he thinks he's terrible, but I thought he played it
pretty well.  Don't let Keanu hold you back from this movie, it's
definitly worth seeing!

Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.

     In this cinematic era A.Q. (After Quentin), much film criticism is
filtered through the pop-culture sieve that is Tarantino.  We just can't
seem to help ourselves -- when we're not noting ways Tarantino has cribbed
from his film-making forebears, we're noting the ways his acolytes have
cribbed from him.  A gun can't be fired but his name is invoked; a
conversation can't be peppered with profanity and obscure references but
he becomes an adjective.  When a film like GO appears, so like PULP
FICTION in both narrative structure and style, it's easy to dismiss it on
a comparative basis without discussing why the Tarantino oeuvre has become
the Greenwich Mean Time for an entire genre -- the edgy, after-hours comic
thriller.  It's easy to miss why director Doug Liman's film works in the
ways it understands Tarantino's unique touch, and doesn't work in the ways
it fails to understand.

     Like PULP FICTION, GO involves several non-chronological yet
intertwined stories of Los Angeles denizens with less than glowing morals.
Ronna (Sarah Polley), a young grocery store clerk, takes the shift of her
co-worker Simon (Desmond Askew) to help pay back rent, then also takes
some of Simon's side business as a drug dealer to help a bit more
substantially.  Her two customers are Zack (Jay Mohr) and Adam (Scott
Wolf), a pair of party animals who may be undercover cops, or perhaps soap
opera actors, or perhaps some interesting combination of the two.  Simon,
meanwhile, is on a road trip to Las Vegas with a trio of pals including
Marcus (Taye Diggs), a road trip which always seems to be just one step
ahead of complete disaster.  These three stories meet, swerve and overlap
through one wild 24-hour period filled with sex, drugs and a pre-Christmas
rave.

     There's something to be said for a film with the ability to grab you
viscerally, which is one of the tricks GO manages to pull off.  That
description isn't just about pacing (though GO moves with the hypnotic
momentum of a rave beat), nor is it just about the level of violence and
action (though there's one kicker of a car chase through Vegas).  Like the
most memorable moments in PULP FICTION, the most memorable moments in GO
energize you with the sense that you're really not sure what's going to
happen next.  At key junctures, you realize that screenwriter John August
is in complete command of his narrative as he turns expectations upside
down in ways that make perfect sense, not just because he can.

     That's not to say that GO doesn't wander off on tangents just because
they might prove to be entertaining.  GO isn't a clean, linear story even
in the most fundamental ways, but it's also a case of a film that doesn't
let the main storyline get in the way of some hilarious distractions:
Ronna's entrepreneurial spirit as she sells her own special brand of pills
at the party; Zack and Adam at a Christmas dinner with ulterior motives;
Simon experimenting with tantric sex with a pair of bridesmaids; the
encyclopedic knowledge of a cat during a hallucinogenic trip.  Like much
of Tarantino's work, it's a loose and sloppy sort of a film, which doesn't
mean that there's no logic to what's going on.  It's just the logic of
giving an audience one heck of a ride, letting the characters stroll and
stray because the film-makers have created an atmosphere where we trust
they'll stroll somewhere interesting.

     Unlike much of Tarantino's work, however, there's not much going on
beneath the glittering surface of GO.  The closest it gets to a thematic
link is the idea that these young people dash into dangerous situations
with little restraint on their desire to...well, to go.  There's nothing
resembling the moral center of PULP FICTION, nor do August and Liman show
nearly as much affection for their flawed, self-absorbed characters.  The
performances are solid even when the chattery dialogue feels a bit forced,
giving us plenty of reason to follow the characters even when they seem
like hopeless screw-ups, but no one is experiencing a fundamental life
change.  GO is a dazzling demonstration of how good even a derivative sort
of film can be when someone grasps the basic principles of engrossing
film-making.  It also demonstrates what we talk about when we talk about
Tarantino -- a way of telling us something about humanity between the
bursts of dialogue and gunfire.

     On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 green lights:  8.

Jodie Foster, now shooting in Kuala Lumpur, reportedly
suffered a minor ankle injury yesterday during a break
from work on the film "Anna and the King." Exact details
of how she was hurt are not known, but one unsubstantiated
report says she fell off an elephant she was riding.
Jodie was treated at a local hospital, and the injury
was not expected to stall work on the $60 million project.
She is co-starring in the 20th Century Fox remake of
"The King and I," along with Hong Kong action hero Chow
Yun Fat. The film is about a 19th century governess who
is hired by King Mongkut of Siam (now Thailand) to teach
his children English.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Fighting the Force with romance, two films with
female appeal - "Notting Hill" starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant
and "The Love Letter" with Kate Capshaw and Tom Selleck - will open
close to the May 19 release date of "Star Wars: Episode I - The
Phantom Menace," studio officials said. The high-stakes scheduling
decisions spoke to the power and possibilities rival studios see in
"The Phantom Menace," one of the most highly anticipated films in
recent years and one that many say has the potential to follow only
"Titanic" in box office gross. Most studios are steering their movies
far clear of the Star Wars prequel.

                        -=> * <=-

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The special effects-laden action movie "The
Matrix," debuted atop the weekend box office, grossing $27.6 million
for the biggest opening weekend this year, industry estimates showed.
"The Matrix," starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne, came out
ahead of two other newcomers, "10 Things I Hate About You" and "The
Out-Of-Towners." It also was the best opening for Reeves since 1994,
when "Speed" took in $14.5 million at its debut. "10 Things I Hate
About You," an updated, teen-centered version of the Shakespearean
classic "The Taming of the Shrew," was a distant second with $8.7
million. "The Out-Of-Towners," a loose remake of the 1970 comedy
about an out-of-town couple in New York City, starring Steve Martin
and Goldie Hawn, was third with $8.1 million.

                        -=> * <=-

LOS ANGELES (AP) - If theaters want the Force to be with them, they
may have to meet strict conditions. The studio distributing the
eagerly anticipated "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" wants
multiplexes to show the movie only in their biggest and best theaters
for at least two months, with no more than eight minutes of coming
attractions. In addition, 20th Century Fox is asking theater owners
who play "Phantom" on more than one screen to keep it on all those
screens through the minimum run. Theaters are also being told to
refrain from using a single movie print to show the film on two
screens. And they're being asked not to show any non-movie
advertisements before the film.

In reference to the theater requirements in order to show Phantom Menace, I
think if I owned a theater and they required that I run around in a pink too
too and did a dance before each showing of the movie, I'd still do it.
There's probably going to be a shortage of popcorn in America around the

if you think about it in a "programming" way, it'd make sense for the
program to respond to user clicks in controls by setting the 16-bit flag
when the 16-bit checkbox is hit. you could try to create a dumb text
caption control, delete the 16-bit check box, and renumber the controls to
have the dummy caption have the same control ID as the 16-bit checkbox...
by making the caption empty and disabled, you'd thus prevent anyone from
selecting this option. it might work.

I have to wonder, tho:

I think most people here know that theatres don't make anything on ticket
sales (believe it or not, even at $8-10!!!), but on concession.  So you
better believe that the theatre owners are on their knees in their pink
tutus, praying for great popcorn sales.

Does anyone know what the 1st week cut is on the film??  FYI, usually in
the first (few) week(s) of a movie's release, the studio tends to get a 70%
cut.  Godzilla broke the mould, demanding (and getting, which to me is
unbelievable) an *80%* cut!!  This is the reason there are no discount
tickets the first few weeks a movie is out; the studio gets too much of the
profits, and the theatre would lose money if they allowed any type of a
discount.

So my question is, how much of a cut does Lucasfilm/Fox get the first
week-end??  I can't see Lucas making unreasonable demands, but he probably
could get a 90% or even a 95% cut.

I doubt they'd bother asking for more than the standard. The films
going to make an absolute killing and will make more money in
lunchbox sales than most films will make at the box office in their
entire run.

Interesting that you should mention that.  I read an interview with Lucas
recently about the original movie.  He had no idea what he had, and
expected the movie to barely break even.  (I'm not sure of the contract,
but think there was some tie-in with profitability).  However, he INSISTED
on the merchandising rights, expecting (rightly so on this count) to
literally make a killing.  And right he was.  As successful as the films
were, I do believe that Lucas himself (and his company) have still
generated the majority of their profits from those "lunchbox sales".

And seeing the interest already in TPM merchandise, there is absolutely no
reason to expect this to be any different.  Not only is this going to blow
Cameron right out of the water ($600 million domestic??  Pshaw!), but those
numbers won't even begin to touch the merchandise numbers.

Taxes, licenses, mortgages, wages, advertising, utilities, etc, etc, etc.

That's a lot of expenses:-)

Three years ago, my business made a lot of money, comparatively.  Yet we
