PRODUCERS, THE
starstarstarstar
The original, and by far the best. A hilarious farce that spoofs upper-crust Broadway theater as well as its fickle audiences, this early Mel Brooks comedy is a surprisingly better work than much of what he would later produce. Zero Mostel stars as a down-and-out but still pompous theater producer; Gene Wilder is his meek new accountant. Together they hatch a scheme to bilk money from investors by producing sure-fire flop: a musical comedy entitled Springtime for Hitler. Read the complete review for The Producers

  • Does Restless, Jerky Bourne-style Camera Work Make You Sick? | Movie News | 8/23/2007
    Question: Much has been made about Paul Greengrass' handheld-camera work in The Bourne Ultimatum, and the fact that both Supremacy and Ultimatum have been hits makes me certain that filmmakers will keep doing it. But I can't be the only person who gets nauseous watching these films. The incessant movement is difficult to watch. Rarely does the camera stop long enough for the viewer to process a shot... even the quietest moments can't be still. Matt Damon is great and I'd like to say I enjoyed the movies, but when I have to go home and take something for headache and nausea, that can't be good. Am I alone in this? — DarylFlickChick: You're far from alone — some critics and a lot of moviegoers have complained about the restless, shaky handheld-camera work and superfast editing in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) in particular and movies in general. Filmmakers generally use restless, jittery camera work to establish a you-are-there atmosphere; sometimes it's meant to look as... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • Everybody has been saying ... | Matt Roush | 11/18/2005
    Question: Everybody has been saying that Desperate Housewives is in a slump. I'm not sure if that's an opinion I truly agree with, or merely one I've acquired from others who have been saying so pretty much since the day after the second-season premiere aired. Whatever the case, I have to say there is one part of the show that I have come to loathe: George. In the first season he was a creepy character who proved to be an interesting wrinkle in Bree and Rex's marriage. This season, with Rex out of the picture, George has taken on a bigger role in Bree's life as well as the life of the show, and I, for one, can't say it has been for the better. We have gotten to see just what level of crazy he is, and to what lengths he will go to get what he wants. I mean, not only did he manipulate Bree into having sex with him when she obviously wasn't ready, but now he's killed her therapist and proposed to her just seven weeks after her husband's death (which he, of course, caused)! To me he is a... read more be the first to leave a comment
