The X-Files: I Want To Believe: Review

X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE, THE | X-FILES 2
starstarstarstar
The second feature spun off from the hugely popular television series, which ran from 1993 to 2002, plays like a stand-alone episode rather than drawing on the show's complex and sometimes muddled, which makes it more accessible to newcomers and occasional viewers than 1998's THE X-FILES. But like the first film, it isn't a patch on the series' best episodes, and on its own merits it's an okay thriller whose influences will be all-too clear to b-movie buffs.

  • David Duchovny Seeks Treatment for Sex Addiction | Today's News: Our Take | 8/29/2008
    David Duchovny has voluntarily entered a treatment facility to deal with sex addiction. The star of Californication (which now, sadly, carries a whole different connotation) told People that he requests "respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation."This situation comes on the heels of a less-than-extraordinary performance for Duchovny's summer movie, The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Californication, for which Duchovny won a Golden Globe, is set to premiere its second season on Sept. 28. Ironically, a brand-new promotional campaign hitting (among other places) the New York City subway system proclaims his sexually promiscuous alter ego to be "In Way Too Deep." (See photo here.) A Showtime rep tells TVGuide.com, "We're not altering our second season promo plans — and that includes the subway ads."Duchovny is married to actress Tea Leoni, with whom he has two children, 9-year-old West and 6-year-old Kyd.In the following video (at the 0:45 mark), Du... read more
  • Considering how little you ... | Matt Roush | 8/8/2008
    Question: Considering how little you liked The X-Files: I Want to Believe (per your column), you may be loathe to consider it any further, but I did not see any comment from you on what I took to be some of the most malicious, virulent and surprising homophobia I've seen in a movie in a while. (Spoiler alert) The villains were two men "married in Massachusetts," as the agent played by Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner contemptuously sneered; they had been molested as children, playing into the false stereotype that people are gay because of abuse or trauma in their backgrounds; and the bodies they were stealing to attach to the one of them with cancer are female (on screen, at least), playing into another offensive stereotype that gay men really want to be women. The movie even seems to be saying, finally, that a pedophile priest is more worthy of redemption than the gay villains. As a former X-Phile, I was terribly disappointed by this mean-spirited, gratuitous and completely unnecessary slam ... read more
