Re: [MV] John Malkovich-Iron Mask ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 23:53:16 -0400 From: GARY ZEIG Subject: [MV] The X-Files Movie I'd just like to take a second or two to comment on the upcoming X-Files movie. Since the board is dead right now, this is as good a time as any. I don't know (don't care actually)whether anyone else is looking forward to this, but I am. But I admit that I have some reservations about the making of this program into a full-length film. I guess this is a sign of success for the X-Files. Only really successful shows become movies after being on tv. Of course, a whole lot of shows are movies before debuting on tv. (Pilot episodes etc. Hawaii 5-0, Streets of San Francisco, and M.A.S.H. come immediately to mind) If you look at many of the recent tv programs made into movies they have ranged from barely mediocre (Addams Family) to worse (Brady Bunch movie) to Who Knows what the heck they were thinking? ( Twin Peaks movie). If the X-Files movie is wildly successful, it will be an accomplishment for the cast and crew. I would hope they would follow the pattern the geniuses at Star Trek implemented: change next to nothing. But then again, how do you justify making someone pay $8 to get something they normally get for free? You better give them a darn good story and a darn good show! Most of all, I hope they don't try to cater to new converts. The X-Files movie is not the time to become mainstream. Trying to be all things to all people is about the surest way to failure. I must say: I like Duchovney and Anderson. I have heard good things about this movie. I'm hoping it can live up to my great expectations for it. I think the challenge they all face is to make this movie as memorable as anything they have ever done. And I think , ultimately, the real success or failure of the movie ( It certainly should do good box-office, at least the first couple weeks) will be judged by how well it does this. Any comments?

I like Nicolas Cage, especially in his early stuff. "Moonstruck" was probably my favorite. I just saw "Con Air" the other noght and hated it. Cage was awful but the script didn't leave room for any good performances. I'm not sure I understand your reference to Meg Rayn and the film "Peggy Sue Got Married." It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I don't recall Meg Ryan being in it. I like Meg Ryan on screen, especially in "When Harry Met Sally." However, from what I've read, I don't think this feeling would extend beyond the cinema.

It's a shame too, becuase I concur with your sentiment on his acting ability. I watched "Con Air" for the first time a few days ago. The movie left something to be desired and otherwise tarnished Malkovich's admirable performance in a poorly written vehicle. I think he does stick out in these bad movies because he is the only redeeming quality. Try "Dangerous Liaisons" on for size if you haven't seen it. It's Malkovich at his best in a role perfectly suited for him.

Not only did "Con Air" blow chunks in my popcorn bucket but Malkovich was primo mediocrity . . . however what could he do with such a lame script? "Mary Reilly" anyone? Ick! Not even special effects saved his and Julia Roberts' performances. And of all movies, "Of Mice and Men" he went and changed the character of Lenny into some imbecilic, Rainman-wanna-be, super-retard, which Lenny is not (imho). Randy Quaid did a far more superior job. Most recently in "Man in the Iron Mask" which i personally loved, John Malkovich played a has-been muskateer, who for some reason was gay? I can't be certain of this but Mr Malcovich played him as one of the most effeminate muskateers i've ever seen on screen. Interpretation i suppose . . . ? (not that there's anything wrong with that . . . .) But, i must give credit where credit is due, and his performance in "The Ogre" (aka "Der Unhold") was excellent, in addition to having an a brilliant script to work with, and beautiful art direction. However, this movie does not seem to have been released far and wide. For Malkovich fans a must see. Perhaps Malkovich is playing his cards so that he can get the big bucks for crap like "Con Air", and then go off and do theatre and quality independent films for the love of acting. I hope so. It's such a shame when an actor sells his soul for the almighty dollar. - -jgl [ To quit the movies mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe movies" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Apr 1998 20:36:27 -0400 From: GARY ZEIG Subject: Re: [MV] John Malcovich >If you can find a copy of it, check out "The Glass Menagerie".

That' s why I like him in movies like "Dangerous Liasons". He can be the bad guy but have depth, more depth than movies like Con Air (which I thought was fun, by the way.) Note: I assume in "Man in the Iron Mask" that Malkovitch playes Aremis. For some background information, in the Three Muskeeters (the book, not the movie) Aremis is the musketeer who wants to join the church. Despite his fighting abilities, he manages to have soft white hands and be fairly pretty. He is also a ladies man and one of his lovers playes an important role in the book. second note: I recommended "the Glass Menagerie" in a previous e-mail, and while I still do I want to add this note: The movie is, of course, based on Tennesse William's play, and Williams work doesn't translate to the most exciting movies. The movie stays fairly close to the play (unlike the Kirk Douglas version.) Although it is not boring, if your main movie turn on is action this probably is not the movie for you. kg X X XXXX X X X X XXXX XXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXX X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X XX XXXX X X X X XX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXX X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X XXXX XXXX XXXX X XXXX X X X X X X XXXX X X On Mon, 20 Apr 1998, GARY ZEIG wrote: > >If you can find a copy of it, check out "The Glass Menagerie".
