By its conclusion, "Adaptation" is the most artistically ambitious, most utterly cynical, and most uncategorizable movie ever to come out of Hollywood. Frustrated and infatuated by Orlean's elegant but plotless book (which is largely a rumination on flowers), Kaufman begins to write a screenplay about himself trying to write a screenplay about "The Orchid Thief", all the while hounded by his twin brother Donald (Cage again), who's cheerfully writing the kind of formulaic action movie that Kaufman finds repugnant.
Nicolas Cage returns to form with a funny, sad, and sneaky performance as Charlie Kaufman, a self-loathing screenwriter who has been hired to adapt Susan Orlean's book "The Orchid Thief" into a screenplay. Summary: Twisty brilliance from screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze, the team who created "Being John Malkovich". His Twin Brother Donald Lives the way he writes. "-David Chute"Ĭomments: Charlie Kaufman writes the way he lives. For a guy who likes guns as much as Cameron (his next film after all, was the body-count masterpiece "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"), it's interesting that the moral balance here is weighted heavily in favor of the can-do engineers the military types are end-justifies-the-means amoralists, just like the weasely government bureaucrats in "Aliens". It's the audience that ends up feeling waterlogged. Every image and every performance is painstakingly sharp and detailed (and the computerized water creatures are lovely) but the movie's lumbering pace is ultimately lethal. Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as formerly married petroleum engineers who still have some "issues" to work out, are drafted to assist a gung-ho Navy SEAL (Michael Biehn) with a top-secret recovery operation: a nuclear sub has been ambushed and sunk, under mysterious circumstances, in some of the deepest waters on earth, and the petro-techies have the only submersible craft capable of diving down that far.
Summary: Meticulously crafted but also ponderous and predictable, James Cameron's 1989 deep-sea close-encounter epic reaffirms one of the oldest first principles of cinema: everything moves a lot more slowly underwater. "-Tom Keogh"Ĭomments: There's everything you've ever known about adventure, and then there's The Abyss. usually looks as if he'd like to leave Murdock in a shallow grave) but get the job done expertly. The best thing about "The A-Team" is the relationship between the four offbeat heroes, who may not always like each other (B.A. Hannibal and company retaliate with machine guns (no one is ever seen killed in this series) and, more effectively, public humiliation of the villain.

"The Out-of-Towners" takes a page from the "Death Wish" movie series with a story about New York City shop owners harassed by a protection racketeer (Yaphet Kotto). Also good is "A Small and Deadly War," featuring Dean Stockwell as one of several uncontrolled L.A. While the resourceful group invents a super-weapon out of farm equipment, crazy Murdock commandeers a helicopter and dynamite. "Season One" highlights include "Children of Jamestown," starring John Saxon as a Jim Jones-like religious cult leader who captures Hannibal, Face, B.A., and first-season sidekick Amy "Triple A" Allen (Melinda Culea).

The A-Team ostensibly charges large fees, but much of the time the guys seem to be doing pro bono work for the helpless. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz)-assist (mostly) ordinary people having a problem with bad guys. T, outfitted with his trademark gold), and, most comically, Capt. Templeton "Face" Peck (baby-faced Tim Dunigan in the pilot, Dirk Benedict thereafter), Sgt. Hiring themselves out as soldiers of fortune, Hannibal's crew-including Lt. John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), the cocksure leader of a band of fugitive American soldiers framed for a crime in Vietnam and now thriving in Los Angeles. Cannell ("Wiseguy") and Frank Lupo ("Hunter"), "The A-Team" introduced Lt. The primetime series' 1983 debut season, gathered here on "The A-Team: Season One", was intentionally ludicrous, encouraging viewers to enjoy sundry talents of a colorful cast and laugh off storylines perhaps sillier than those on "Charlie's Angels". Summary: Guilty pleasures don't come more guilty than "The A-Team", television's only tongue-in-cheek drama about the exploits of renegade Vietnam vets.
