  • WESTERN 12 CAROLINIAN GET A LIFE November 8, 2000 Movie Review // Charlie's Angels": Women In Tight Pants Go Campy By Jenni Battels Asst. Features Editor Okay boys, this one's for you: Three hot chicks in tight clothes running around kicking the crap outta the bad guys. What could it be? A miracle? A gift from God? No, it's Drew Barrymore (Dylan), Cameron Diaz (Natalie), and Lucy Liu (Alex) starring as the illustrious "Charlie's Angels." With intense action scenes, hilarious comedic cameos from the likes of Tom Green (he's "The Chad") and Tim Curry, you can almost forget how campy the whole concept is (do we remember that "Brady Bunch" thing they put out a few years ago? Ugh). As most children of the 70's and 80's know, Charlie's Angels is about three rather attractive female private investigators working for a man named Charles Townsend. Bosley (as played by the always-amusing Bill Murray) is their supervisor and their communication link to Charlie. They know everything, solve crimes, and lay to waste all the evildoers they come in contact with. Flash forward to the present day: Charlie and his angels have a case to take on for a man named Knox, whose super-advanced software could - in the wrong hands - end privacy forever (a little "Enemy of The State" vibe going on). Charlie's Angels Directed by Joe Berlinger Starring: Cameron Diaz Bill Murray *•• The Angels and Charlie The angels take on the case and suddenly the audience is up to their ears in "Matrix"-esque fighting sequences. It's eye candy for those of you that, like myself, appreciate good special effects. The twists and turns in the plot are relatively predictable, but still enjoyable. NOTHING compared to the boredom I experienced previously in the semester when I bore witness to that total waste of film "The Art Of War." As far as our leading ladies go, breaking their characters down is pretty easy; they are generic stereotypes of women, and fall into three very basic categories. Dylan is the American bad ass who never knew her parents. Natalie is the super-sweet ditz with an affinity for very bad dance moves (the Soul Train sequence is great). Then we have Alex, the smart, capable techie-type. They're all very likable, considering. However, it is my honest belief that they shouldn't have tried to give the girls too much depth. They did a slack job for one thing. And for another, it had nothing to do with the plot. The attempt made was to capture the inner turmoil and complication of leading double lives the girls have to face. The thing to keep in mind is, too many critics have been looking at this film as a "serious action film" and most of those don't make sense either. This is a good movie purely for movie's sake. If you're in the mood for a movie you don't have to think much about with lots of eye candy, this is your movie. photo courtesy ofTriStar Pictures There are a lot of John Woo wannabes out there, and McG, the director of this little novelty, is one of them. However, he manages to avoid embarrassing himself by not mimicking everything Woo's ever done. All in all, if you liked "Mission Impossible" and "The Matrix" you will probably like this flick. It has the whole "MI" brain-coasting quality blended with the special effects of "Matrix." It's campy and the plot isn't quite all there, but if you're in the mood to spend five bucks and put your brain on cruise control for an hour and a half, go see "Charlie's Angels." It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Video Review Anna and the King: A Tear Jerker Classic By Annie Sechrist Staff Writer I have always been a sucker for a love story. Whether it be "Gone with the Wind", "Dirty Dancing", or "An Affair to Remember" there is just something about people being in love that makes you want to go out and hug a puppy or adopt an old person. What is it that attracts people to these types of pink fuzzy films? I have no idea. One could be really dismal and say it was every little girls dream be a part of these stories: to one day grow up and be the princess or maiden in distress and be rescued by prince charming. But in cases like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman", I am not sure every girl wanted to be a prostitute and end up with a big time ass like Richard Gere. Maybe the appeal does have something to due to with a little blurred reality. Where else today can two people meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after, all while having some kind of mellow soundtrack playing in the background? Not only that, but all of the children involved in the story line are sweet, innocent angels; if that isnit a load of crap I have no idea what would be. Do you really think that little boy from "Jerry Maguire" doesn't throw a temper tantrum when his mom won't let him eat ice cream for breakfast? The women who watch these films live each and every day in the real world, no wonder there is such a high demand for romantic fluff. And the movie industry should take full advantage of it, woman need a little disillusioned edge to their lives to keep them sane. If any pointers are needed just ask Danielle Steele, she seems to have the whole romantic novel industry wrapped up and she just pumps out the same story over and over again. So for those sob story enthusiasts out there, besides myself, I have a new film to add to the collection, "Anna and the King" has been released on video. And on the tearjerker scale from one Kleenex to a roll of paper towels, this movie is definitely going for the roll. The film, directed by the same Andy Tennant who did "Ever After", is essentially a remake of "The King and I". But the oh-so-sweet factor on this sucker is huge; even the men were crying by the end of the movie. And how could you not with such lines as: "And then I asked her to dance with me. She could not hide her surprise. Not to worry, I told her. I am the King. I will lead." It was like watching a Hallmark commercial around Christmas time or getting smacked really hard in the head with a baseball bat, you have to fight to keep back those tears.
