12 WESTERN CAROLINIAN GET A LIFE February 23, 2000 Movie Review Perry Goes 'The Whole Nine Yards' by Jenni Bartels Staff Writer With all of the mob comedies that have been coming out recently ("Analyze This" and "Mickey Blue Eyes") I was anticipating the standard: A slightly neurotic fellow inadvertently engaging himself in mob-related incidents. And to be frank, I wasn't expecting much .. out of a Bruce Willis movie, not to mention one with a star of that show on NBC (what's the name of it again?) in it, but "The Whole Nine Yards" was pretty impressive. This movie focuses on the odd luck of suburbanite, Nick "Oz" Oseransky (Matthew Perry of "Friends" fame), the v nice-guy dentist subjected to temporary fits of insanity due to having no money, a wife from the fiery pits of hell, accompanied by the woman who spawned her... and, oh yeah, a mass murderer just moved in next door. Of course, the madness ensues. Sophie, the banshee bride, coerces Oz into turning Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski over to crime boss Janni Gogolack (Kevin Pollak of "A Few Good Men" and "The Usual Suspects") for a finder's fee. After the web of confusion is partially untangled, Oz discovers his wife has a contract out on him, among other nefarious subplots. Now he has to team up with his buddy the contract killer, because they are both marked men. Oh, and Oz sleeps with Jimmy's wife, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge - you know, the chick from "Species"). Bad idea. The Whole Nine Yards Directed by Jonathan Lynn Starring: Bruce Willis Matthew Perry ***1 *****SeeitNOW kekikeke See it relatively soon kick Wait for the video * * Watch for it on USA if See it in Hell... Over and over again The madness just doesn't stop. Janni, Jimmy, and Cynthia are all out for a rather large sum of money. Oz is smack in the middle, bewildered right out of his benign lifestyle and thrown into an elaborate scam that has him playing all sides against his will and better judgment. The best part of this movie is not the convoluted plot (which is good) or the comedy (which is a little scattered); rather, it's the cast. This quirky and diverse ensemble manages to combine actors from all different aspects of film and television genres; Perry is in his signature role as a high-strung Chihuahua-like nice-guy, while Bruce Willis remains true to his shoot-em-up persona as an ex-mob contract killer with a good heart. Rosanna Arquette ("Hell's Kitchen" and "Desperately Seeking Susan") does a wonderful job playing Sophie, the insipid little Canadian tramp-wife Oz has somehow stuck himself with, and up- and-comer Amanda Peet ("Playing By Heart" and "She's The One") manages to steal a few scenes of her own. Kevin Pollak, however, does a hack job of portraying a mobster from ... hmmm. You know, I don't even know where he was supposed to be from or what accent he was trying to do. Well, whatever it was, it wasn't working. He was never meant to be "in the family," though he is a good actor. The gargantuan Oscar-nominated Michael Clark Duncan puts on an outstanding performance as a mobster bodyguard and, at times, quite literally shadows the other cast members. Director Jonathan Lynn is in the same photo courtesy Warner Brothers Perry as the bewildered Oz Oseransky. rare form he was for "My Cousin Vinny," and he does a great job. The story moves fluidly and stays on an even keel; there are no dramatic lulls and relatively few played- out mob cliches. The setting of the story amused me in that respect. We have shunned the stereotypic mob atmosphere of New York or Chicago, and found ourselves in Montreal, Canada! Despite the gratuitous boob shots, compliments of Ms. Peet, I have virtually no complaints about this film. It's a good black comedy with a great cast of characters and a plot that refuses to stagnate. This movie is fun. It's not going to leave you disgruntled as long as you are there to enjoy a few laughs without a lot of intellect. Video Review Who is Keyser Soze? by Annie Sechrist Staff Writer "It's all the cops' fault, you don't put guys like that in a room together, who knows what can happen?" That was it, simply the best opening line, ever. And amazingly enough, it belongs to one of the most captivating movies that I have seen in a long while: "The Usual Suspects." I am not sure how it happened, but by some queer chain of events, I didn't get to see the movie until recently. So for those of you who have seen it, bear with me. It opens with the round up of the five shady, but remarkably likable, criminally minded leading characters into a police station. There is the love-struck, bad-guy-turned- good businessman, Keaton (Gaberial Byrne), who is portrayed to be the brains of the operation. Second in line is the crazy psycho killer, McManus (Stephen Baldwin), and his partner of five years, Fenstor (Benicio Del Toro). Completing the group is Hockney (Kevin Pollak), the kind of expendable go-with-the-flow kind of guy, and the weak-link of the five, whom they have affectionately labeled "the gimp," Verbal (Kevin Spacey). While sitting in the police station on apparent false charges, McManus accosts the others about a "job opportunity" that will not only allow them to pocket some cash, but also screw over the police department. After a little persuasion, our group of misguided heroes complete the job, and soon find themselves on their way to California. It is here that the story really picks up and we are introduced to the notorious legend of Keyser Soze, a man so evil and deceptive that he could only be the devil. "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" So does Keyser Soze exist? And if so, who is he? These questions are racing through your mind as you try to put together the pieces of the story, as it is told from various points of view in non-sequential order. The overall approach is effective, but makes the viewer wait to the end of the movie to tie up the loose ends acquired throughout. It leaves you feeling a little overwhelmed until you can finally decipher it all. The cast really makes the whole storyline work, and you find yourself actually routing for the bad guys as the screen explodes and the unexpected becomes reality. "The Usual Suspects" is a definite recommendation, and for those who have already seen it: how long has it been since you have asked the question "Who is Keyser Soze?"
