"Welcome to Collinwood"
A Review by `Sean` (Negative, Minor Spoilers)
Dark Horizons 10/27/01

Should have seen it coming -- the screening was in Pasadena. Screenings are never in Pasadena... On a Thursday... In a multiplex. Unless... Yes. Read on, my friend.

Ugh... Just a horrible derivative wannabe Snatch (and we know how Snatch is, in turn, a derivative wannabe of other films so how horrible is that?). I don`t think it`s really constructive to delve into specifics about this film but I guess I`ll do it anyway. The dialogue is that typical movie of a movie dialogue, i.e., it`s obvious that the filmmakers watched a lot of gangster movies, the Godfather, Goodfellas, heist movies, what-have-you, and they just derived dialogue from those. It`s not their own experience, it`s them reminiscing of the great films (or maybe even bad films) they saw and decided to "give it a go" and this was the result. "He just got out of the penn... ", "There`s this big job"... "I can`t do the job because I just fell in love with your blind sister, Eddie". Whatever. I can`t remember the really bad ones. Sorry... You`ll just have to take my word for it.

To top it off, every actor is wasted and it`s actually kind of sad to see some of these `stars` lend their talents to a film written and directed by some brothers who`ve never written a big movie before. Luis Guzman`s only line it seems is "Your mother`s a whore!" which he keeps repeating over and over after constantly getting screwed by various other `characters` in the film. Yes, it`s funny the first time, but not the third, not the tenth, etc. William H. Macy is stunningly bad in this film. He has sideburns (which is funny for a couple seconds) but hangs out in the background for most of the movie, holding a baby, spewing off one-liners that always fall flat, trying to bookend a scene. He has his big moment at the finale but it`s basically him just stretching his face, trying to feed off lines which carry no emotion.

George Clooney however, adds a bit of comic relief (in a *comedy*, though) -- he`s riddled with tattoos, dressed in a black wife-beater, and he`s in a wheel chair. He teaches people how to break into safes but his big weapon of choice (and the tool he urges all his students to use in the field) is a circular hand-drill which he says can get through a basic safe in under *three* hours.

The lead is very funny however (Sam Rockwell -- genius -- he`ll be gracing the screens in a much, much better film very soon -- Heist). Isaiah Washington on the other hand fills every stereotype black comedians always make fun of. He`s the `black guy` in the film and all he gets to say are the stereotypical black guy lines and it`s so sad.

The nudity in this movie (just in case that`s some kind of sticking point with you and parting with your $9) is of the old guy`s tighty-whities falling off and him running for cover variety. If you find this amusing, this film is for you. All the studio execs a the screening were laughing their asses off throughout the film, which bodes the question -- is this what it`s really come to? I remember reading that many studio heads in LA really do believe the crap they`re making is truly excellent stuff. I suppose the way they keep their jobs is that they have the lowest-common- denominator brain to match -- if they think it`s funny, general core audiences must as well. Here`s a perfect example. This movie should have never been made.






Ausserdem sind die Einschaltquoten von Welt der Wunder stark abfallend

H5B5 klarer Verkauf
KERN Neue Märkte

Die Analysten von "KERN Neue Märkte" raten die Aktien von H5B5 (WKN 555540) zu verkaufen.

Die Gesellschaft habe vor kurzem eine Umsatz- und Gewinnwarnung herausgegeben. Zum Ende des Halbjahres habe das Unternehmen noch über Finanzmittel von 8,1 Millionen Euro verfügt. Im Geschäftsjahr 2001 seien spürbare Verluste zu erwarten. Somit könnte die finanzielle Lage für H5B5 problematisch werden und die Wachstumsdynamik deutlich nachlassen.

Im Konkurrenzkampf mit anderen Firmen ist H5B5 daher ein klarer Verkauf, so die Experten von "KERN Neue Märkte".
