Aston Kutcher & Seann William Scott star in this movie by brainless stoners for brainless stoners. I quite like the concept of two pot heads who are too wasted to remember where they parked their car end up saving the universe while they try to find it, and the "And Then" lady who works in the Chinese take-away is a flash of comic brilliance but there are very few other laughs to be had. Give me Bill and Ted any day of the week.
184. JUMANJI:
A quite imaginative and well made kids film based on the idea that board games can spring to life with real perils and hazards to be overcome. I suspect whether you like this film or not will come down to how you feel about Robin Williams - he has been known to polarise opinion. Much of the film rests on his performance so if you have any strong feelings against the actor then this probably isnt the film for you. If you are positive (or at least neutral then there is some fun to be had. The C.G. is starting to look a bit dated now but that shouldnt be a problem for young eyes.
185. CHINATOWN:
Roman Polanski directs Jack Nicholson to an excellent performance in this classic detective noir set in 1930's L.A. Quite rightly (I think) regarded as a classic for both its cinematography and its impact.
186. SEXY BEAST:
This is an edgy British gangster film (though mostly set in Spain) that uses brutal language to both disturbing and comedic effect. Casting Ray Winstone (lovable rent-a-cockney) as the retired in the sun former gangster was no great surprise but casting Ben 'Gandhi' Kingsley in the role of ultra violent psychopath was a masterstroke. From the brilliant opening scene (with the rock rolling down the hill) and for the rest of the film you are kept of balance for the rest of the film. There arent many films in this genre that are this unpredictable - and with a great script too.
187. INNERSPACE:
The hair, fashion, music and technology all scream '1980s!' but the story of a man who gets miniaturised in a submarine and injected into another mans body still feels fairly timeless. So timeless in fact that if it was made in the 1960's you could mistake the principles of the story for those of 'The Fantastic Voyage.' There is also a plot about industrial espionage tacked on to keep the story moving. In terms of both science fiction and thriller its a bit light weight but it doesnt lose its sense of fun.
