| 102 Dalmatians |
Could it be however another pointless sequel? This
answer is yes! To make matters worse, it's a
continuation to a film based on a classic Walter
Elias Disney cartoon that never should have been
made in the low place. Nowadays in all honesty, I
didn't hatred the previous film. I thought it was a
cute diversionary attack, and good for the whole
family unit. It had a circle of energy Department
and fine performances from the likeable Jeff
Daniels, and a hilarious, over the top turn by
Glenn Close as the nasty Cruella DeVil. In this
continuation, Close is the only major returning
cast fellow member. It seems that Cruella's jail
clock time has mellowed her out a bit. She no
longer has a hate for the Dalmatians that sealed
her fate in the last picture. By sheer
happenstance, it seems that her parole officer has
a fondness for the spotted pets, and even has a
family of them at home. In fact, mama has recently
had a litter that includes Oddball, a mischievous
Dalmatian that becomes increasingly agitated
because he has no spots. Before too long, Cruella
is up to her old tricks, and with the aid of a
fashion designer (a strange turn by European
sensation Gerard Depardieu), they decide to kidnap
our faithful small pooches and make fur coats
extinct of them. Of course this is a Disney flick,
so parents shouldn't be besides worried close to
the resultant. What's real disheartening about this
unneeded sequel is how dreadfully dull it is. Sure,
the dogs are cunning, and Shut seems to be having a
good time, but this celluloid just doesn't really
seem to go anywhere. In fact, I observed the
crowded hearing at the screening, and many of the
children seemed to be acquiring unusually
unsatisfied. It seemed painfully obvious to me that
this sequel was made but for the reason a sequel
should never be made, simply usually is--because
the first film made a long ton of money. No
existent care went into the making of 102
Dalmatians. This isn't even truly a sequel. It's
more of a remake. A generic rehash that we could
all do without.

| All The Pretty Horses (2000) |
You know, it's unfit enough when studios feel
compelled to give too much away in a coming
attraction trailer, only then they have to go and
make a film-maker blue-pencil their film to the
point where it's flow is entirely interrupted. Such
is the case with All the Pretty Horses, the new
film from Billy British shilling Thornton. In All
the Pretty Horses, Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting)
and Henry Thomas (E.T.) play a couple of cowboy
buddies circa the late 1940's. Growing disenchanted
with their lives in Texas, they decide to head out
to Mexico, to experience the with child ranch life.
During their lengthy sawbuck ride, they meet up
with loretta Young Lucas Blackened (Sling Blade), a
gun for hire with a plethora of secrets. Upon
arriving in Mexico, they find function at a ranch
where Damon falls for the ranch owner's daughter
(played by Penelope Cruz). Before long, Damon and
Norman Thomas find themselves fighting for their
lives when they are thrown in slammer for a crime
they may or may non have attached. Obviously, there
is a lot going on in this picture. Far too much, in
fact, to make an under two hour pic work solely.
Therein lies the problem. Thornton has been forced
to switch off so much from this film that it
undermines the calendar method of the picture.
True, Thornton does a consummate job with his
actors. This film is hurl to perfection, and the
actors experience perfect chemistry. Thornton as
well has a true knack for this material. He seems
to have a lot of insight into the way of the cowboy
and really knows how to shoot the scenery. Some of
the film reminded me of Robert Redford's The Buck
Whisperer, only here, Thornton is dealing with a
richer tarradiddle. The screenplay by Ted Tally
(Silence of the Lambs) is alive with realistic
dialogue featuring true cowboy patois and a sort of
old fashioned western feel. Damon and Thomas are
lively and really appear to capture the flavor of
their characters, as does a shining Dark. Penelope
Cruz is a beauty, just it seems that much of her
storyline was cut and that hurts the cinema
tremendously. It's hard to really see the mania
between these star crossed lovers because Thornton
has been forced to cut so much of the picture, that
many things seem rush and developing. Long epical
films can work. Some of our greatest films of all
time ar lengthy. It's a shame that a studio would
allow Kevin Costner to make the lame Letter
carrier. Sure, the guy proved himself with Dances
With Wolves merely didn't William Thornton do the
same with Sling Blade? All the Pretty Horses is a
beautiful picture. It's well acted, good
photographed, well written (what we have of it
anyway), and well scored by country musician
Blessed Virgin Stuart. I'm giving half a headliner
to the studio for not rental Thornton have his cut,
I'm giving three and a half stars to what this film
is, and I'm giving tetrad and a half stars to what
All the Pretty Horses should have been; a big,
rousing, traditional western. The tolerant we don't
see anymore. Hopefully, we'll get the real version
on Videodisk!
