Twisty brilliance from screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze, the team who created Being John Malkovich. Nicolas Cage returns to form with a funny, sad, and sneaky performance as Charlie Kaufman, a self-loathing screenwriter who has been hired to adapt Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief into a screenplay. Frustrated and infatuated by Orlean's elegant but plotless book (which is largely a rumination on flowers), Kaufman begins to write a screenplay about himself trying to write a screenplay about The Orchid Thief, all the while hounded by his twin brother Donald (Cage again), who's cheerfully writing the kind of formulaic action movie that Kaufman finds repugnant. By its conclusion, Adaptation is the most artistically ambitious, most utterly cynical, and most uncategorizable movie ever to come out of Hollywood. Also starring Meryl Streep (as Susan Orlean), Chris Cooper, Tilda Swinton, and Brian Cox; superb performances throughout. --Bret Fetzer

Watch "Being John Malkovich" first.......2007-06-24

A follow-on to "Being John Malkovich" Being John Malkovich, this film also explores the nature of reality, but goes one step further and considers the nature of the creative process. As the film proceeds, the viewer is constantly exposed to comments about what is happening on the screen (e.g., "Never use voice-overs") which are amusing but also distracting. Viewers interested in the nature of the creative process, especially screenwriting, will find this technique interesting, others will find it distracting.

In any event, rather than being a follow-on in the conventional sense, this film contains actors and sets from Malkovich, which means you will understand it better if you see the earlier film.

After appearing in "Being John Malkovich," Cameron Diaz reportedly said, "There are 14 standard plots in Hollywood. This is the 15th.", suggesting how unusual these two films are.

But they are also different. While "Being John Malkovich" has an ending that fits the film, here the ending is contrived, which fits the overall plot but is likely to leave the average viewer dissatisfied.

In fact, the entire film is likely to leave the average viewer dissatisfied.

Clever blending of reality and fiction.......2007-05-08

I preferred the way this film blended reality and fiction over the way it was done in "Being John Malkovich" (Which is by the same writer and director).

This is one of those movie experiences where you know the flim's creators want you to know they are trying to play mind-games on you. ;)

The filming of "Being John Malkovich" is part of this film's story-line, so it does help to have seen "Being John M." before seeing this film.

A movie about trying to make a movie? .......2007-05-01

Look, I understand very well that I'm supposed to find this thing "brilliant, innovative, unique" and so forth. But to begin with, the storyline of making a movie about making a movie is old, tired, and absolutely lackng in originality. This yawner wastes a good cast in telling a ho-hum tale about a mediocre writer. By the end of this thing, I really wanted those 90 minutes of my life back. The humor is lame, the situations are absurd, and the plot is devoid of interest.

Very clever, mind-boggling movie.......2007-02-16

I enjoyed Adaptation a lot. It is very very clever and very funny. Nicolas Cage, Chris Cooper, and Meryl Streep all do a great job and bring it together into one coherent (sort-of) ending.

The movie is about the process of writing a screenplay from another source, but turns into an examination of the creative process, and how it relates to the creators (writers). Nicolas Cage plays the inhibited, smart, unhappy screenwriter Charlie Kaufmann, who is charged with turning "The Orchid Thief" into a film. He also plays Charlie's identical twin brother, Donald, who is everything Charlie is not, but also aspires to be a screenwriter. Charlie Kaufmann, btw, is the real writer of "Adaptation," but it is credited to both him and Donald (who is a character in the film, and not a real person). In fact the film is dedicated to Donald (Donald Kaufmann, btw, also has an entry in IMDB as a screenwriter).

Also writing is Susan Orlean (played by Meryl Streep), whose book "The Orchard Thief" Charlie is working to adapt for film. Susan has her own struggles with the creative process. The focus for all this creative energy is LaRoche, the Orchid Thief of the title, whose obsession with collecting orchids is at the heart of the movie. I think it is pretty interesting how LaRoche is the character who feels the most strongly about his passion, while the two writers circle around him and try to find something in their own lives they feel strongly about. Chris Cooper is completely convincing as LaRoche, and it is a relief to see him playing something besides a government bureaucrat or a military officer.

I laughed a lot at the scenes where Charlie attends a seminar on screenwriting. I actually use some of the "tips" to judge movies (for examle, never ever use a voiceover ...)

Although I had fun watching this movie, I am not sure that I would call it a really good movie (definitely not a great movie). Behind all the amusing connections and intricate story lines, I am just not sure that there is all that much there. I enjoyed it a lot, although I doubt that I will remember much about it a year from now.

A Nappaland.com Review.......2006-12-31

Plot Summary: Charlie Kaufman (Nicolas Cage) struggles to adapt a book into a screenplay.
Reason for the Rating: Language, sexuality, some drug use, and violent images.
Bizarre. Crazy. Zany. Quirky.
Any of these words accurately describes Adaptation, so be prepared to pay attention when you're watching this one! Charlie Kaufman is a real-life screenwriter with several television series to his credit, and the also quirky and bizarre film Being John Malkovich. Adaptation picks up with the filming of Being John Malkovich, showing Charlie on the set of that movie. He's a man who loathes himself, who cannot complete a thought, and who is bound by fear.
Charlie is hired to adapt the real-life non-fiction book, The Orchid Thief, into a movie. The author, Susan Orleans, is a real person portrayed here by Meryl Streep, and the book is about an ego-centric real-life orchid expert named John Laroche (remarkably played by Chris Cooper). This much is all true. The rest...who can say? Charlie labors over the screenplay, and bits of what he writes are interspersed with sections where he laments his loser status in life. Mixed into the plot is Charlie's twin brother Donald (also played by Cage, but who does not exist in real life, and who, despite the tributes in the end credits of the movie, never did exist) who can't seem to get a job so tries his hand a screenwriting, and, despite his blithe oblivion to the realities of life and Charlie's expert advice, succeeds.
At times Adaptation is slow and filled with voice-overs to convey Charlie's thoughts about life, the evolution process, and how, according to Darwin, we've all adapted to various situations to become who we are today. At other times it's shockingly violent, absurdly funny, and down-right sad.
Besides the violence, sex, and drug use, Christians may find the message of evolution and adaptation offensive. Yet there is truth that we do adapt to the situations of our lives, and that these changes define us. The movie also encourages viewers to consider the passions of our lives. While the passions of those in the movie may seem bizarre, they demonstrate the meaning people find in life through what they love and pursue--and how futile these passions are outside of knowing God.

Nappaland.com Recommends: Adaptation is only for mature viewers who want to think about what they've seen. Even though there are plenty of funny moments, this one could spark serious discussion about pursuing our passions and facing our fears.

After the Show...If members of your family choose to view this movie, use these questions to spark discussion about it afterward:
---Consider each of the main characters in Adaptation. What is the passion of each one? How does pursuing these passions change the lives of these people? What are you passionate about in your own life? How do you pursue this passion, and what difference do your actions make?
---When Donald and Charlie are hiding in the swamp they have a discussion about love. What do you think of Donald's views of loving others? How does what Donald shares change Charlie? How could embracing this view change your relationships?
---Charlie is a recognized screenwriter and appears to be successful to those in his business. But in reality he's filled with doubts and fears that keep him from growing and enjoying life. In what ways are you like Charlie? How can you move beyond the fears that might be trapping you?

When a remote Mexican oilfield comes down with a nasty case of Graboids (for the uninitiated: giant carnivorous worms with tunneling abilities that put Bugs Bunny to shame), it's up to those veteran monster exterminators Burt and Earl (Michael Gross and the wonderful Fred Ward, reprising their roles from the first film) to save the day--and accumulate some much-needed payola in the process. But this time, the slimy critters may have a few new tricks up their...um, sleeves. Although denied a chance to appear in theaters, this unjustly neglected sequel delivers the same winning mixture of cornpone and gore that made the original Tremors a cult classic. A hoot-and-a-half for horror and SF fans, with some genuine scares and a welcome sense of humor. --Andrew Wright

Customer Reviews:

Almost as much fun as the first.......2007-04-22

The graboids have ravaged the drilling site of a petrochemical company in Mexico, so company representatives offer a lucrative bounty to Earl (Fred Ward), who has fallen on hard times. Well-armed survivalist Burt (Michael Gross) is also along for the ride, but the rest of the original cast is absent. Fortunately, however, the creative team of Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson return as well, because they make this outing almost as good as the first one. Just as they did before, they present a powerful creature with one significant weakness that the characters must exploit in order to survive. An intelligent script with lots of laughs and thrills makes for an enjoyable viewing experience.

Hilarious.......2007-03-24

This movie was even funnier than the first. I love how they brought back characters from the first movie and continued storylines. Definitely recommended, but you need to make sure you see the first movie before this one. :)

I'd stop after this one though, Tremors 3 was pretty bad.

WHEN YOU STRIKE GOLD THE FIRST TIME IT'S HARD TO DO IT AGAIN THEY CAME REAL CLOSE!.......2007-03-16

I love the original and I suppose it would be damn near inpossible to top it with a sequel. The did a great job and came close. Very impressive sequel to the first one! The DVD transfer is very good.

it's a friggin' monster movie!.......2007-01-26

I'm so tired of some people whining about how this movie is a let down when compared to the first one. It's a movie about giant underground worms that morph into something else...HELLO!!!! This film does exactly what it set out to do, help you ecscape for an hour or two to relax and enjoy a great b-movie. The scene with Burt blowing the s@!t out of the creature with the giant rifle is worth every penny!

Tremors 2: Aftershocks.......2006-12-07

Okay, my wife thinks I am crazy but I really like the Tremors movies (I-IV) and the TV series as well. I purchased the DVD for Tremors II to upgrade from the VCR tape that I had watched numerous times. This is probably the best of the sequels to the original movie. Fred Ward does an excellent job recreating his character, but the actor in the role of the sidekick is a little lame (the only real downside to the entire movie). Of course, it would be hard to top Kevin Bacon who starred with Fred Ward in the first movie. If you like Tremors I, then this should be your next purchase.

The connection between National Geographic and The Lord of the Rings may seem tentative, but this illuminating TV special proves otherwise. While incorporating cast and crew interviews and film clips from director Peter Jackson's 2001 blockbuster The Fellowship of the Ring, this hourlong documentary transcends timely opportunism to explore the myriad inspirations for J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fantasy classic, beginning with the influence of Tolkien's idyllic childhood in rural England, which served as the model for Tolkien's threatened Hobbit paradise. Equally fascinating are the influence of Tolkien's experience in World War I, the "evil" of industrial development, and especially the influence of Anglo-Saxon poetry (notably Beowulf) and the mythology of the Finnish Kalevala, which formed the basis of Tolkien's elfish culture. Tolkien's passion for nature conservancy and cultural preservation is what ultimately serves the National Geographic agenda, but eloquent testimonials by archaeologists, anthropologists, and filmmakers make this a most agreeable hour of justified propaganda. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews:

Interesting.......2004-12-26

I thought it was very interesting. I was intrigued by the ideas of Tolkien'a life as presented by National Geographics. As well as the influences that went into the "Lord of the Rings." I found it very insightful. I've studied Tolkien before maybe that is why I enjoyed this more than other reviewers.

Has nothing to do with the film.Do not buy it........2004-04-10

This National Geographic DVD has nothing to do with the actual film. It just compares the characters with real life characters.
Save your money and do not buy it for it is irellevant to the film. Tolkien repeatedly said that his Lord Of The Rings books were not allegorical and yet we still have those that like to use it to make up their own revisionist history.
Shame on you National Geographic for selling this piece of tripe.

Not quite what I wanted........2004-01-31

I purchased this DVD hoping to find an exploration into the historical and anthropological background to Lord of the Rings. Did it deliver? Well...sort of.

It gives us some information (precious little) about the life and times of J.R.R. Tolkien - but nothing much that we did not all ready know: he fought in World War I, he was from the English countryside and was not a fan of industrialization, he was educated and taught at Oxford, etc.

Some insight is provided into the historical aspect of the Trilogy. Tolkien was heavily influenced by Beowulf and Anglo-Saxon history. Most illuminating was the discussion of the Nordic Kalevala, and the possible roots of Elvish. (For all you MST 3K fans out there, the Kalevala is the source of the Sampo).

Where I feel the documentary went wrong is that there is not enough of such material. Instead, it comes off as too much of a plug for the movie The Fellowship of the Ring. It is chock full of interviews with Peter Jackson and the cast and would certainly be at home as an extra on the DVD. It also tries to justify its existence by providing parallels between themes in the book (like nature conservation) and our world today.

Unfortunately, we live in a time when we seem to be at war every other year. Sauron's and Saruman's abound. It is not too hard for us to find the parallels between Earth and Middle-earth for ourselves. As Christopher Lee puts it at the end of the documentary, "Where is the Ring Bearer now?"

Where indeed?

LoTR Fans: Save Your Money.......2003-12-17

This is getting one star because you can't give it a half star.

The worst part about this DVD is that it doesn't do a good job at masking the fact that's its not really educational- it feels more like a long winded commercial for the movie. It hits on historical bits and points here and there but never goes into much detail. Additionally, it just seems to wander from point to point without a lot of structure.

Sleep inducing, really.

Save your money.
LoTR can easily sell itself without the help.

About history more than myth..........2003-12-07

How sad that so many so-called fans of LOTR don't want to think about the actual meaning of the story. Tolkien's passions, his influences, the things he most valued and most feared, permeate the Lord of the Rings, and it is his life and influences that this documentary explores, not a behind-the-scenes look at the movies. If you want to see how the movies were made, there are plenty of other dvds to watch. One review said Tolkien would be horrified at this documentary; on the contrary, he would probably be fascinated by all the "boring" parts about nature, language and vanishing culture!

Good Film, Great Performances!.......2006-12-02

Jasmine Women is the story of three generations of women from the same Shanhai China family: grandmother, mother and granddaughter.

Chapter 1: Grandmother - In the 1930's, Mo (Zhang Ziyi/Ziyi Zhang) who lives with her mother (Joan Chen), meets Mr. Meng (Jiang Wen), a manager of a movie studio. A close relationship with Meng makes Mo's dreams of being a famous movie star come true and leaves her pregnant and abandoned by Meng after the japanese invasion of China. After the baby girl is born Mo blames her daughter for everything that she has lost in her life.

Chapter 2: Mother - In the 1950's Li (Zhang Ziyi/Ziyi Zhang) has lived a life of great misery. She marries Zou Jie (Lu Yi) just to get away from her mother Mo, now played by (Joan Chen). Unable to bear children of her own, she adopts a baby girl, named Hua. In time, from miscarrying and bad childhood memories, she starts to lose her mind, which leads her husband Zou to commit suicide. Li leaves the family never to be seen or heard from again.

Chapter 3: Granddaughter - In the 1980's Hua (Zhang Ziyi/Ziyi Zhang) has been raised by her grandmother Mo (Joan Chen). Mo treated her own daughter Li very badly, but now finds comfort in caring for her granddaughter. Hua gets pregnant from her husband Xia Du (Liu Ye), who got married in secret from her grandmother, after her husband goes far away to school she tells her grandmother about the marriage and that she's pregnant. After finding out, she tells Hua about how having children in the family is a curse to them, not listening to her grandmother she commits suicide by drinking a bottle of Jasmine perfume that she had when she was very young. Hua divorces Xia because of his infidelity and starts a better life with her daughter.

The performances from Zhang Ziyi/Ziyi Zhang and Joan Chen are excellent. Zhang/Ziyi won the Best Actress Golden Rooster award in 2004 for this film, she also plays all three of the young women and Joan Chen plays them when they get older. However like a reviewer said on another website "the story leaves you wanting more" & he is right, I wanted more out of the three storys. The film does have drama in it, but it's no "The Joy Luck Club" which was a great film!. I didn't mention everything that will be in the film, because that would give it all away. I don't know if this is a Bootleg version of the film, because it's plays and it looks like a Offical release, which is really good, The colors on this DVD are dark and rich. The sound is really good, I see nobody getting up in front of the screen, so it's Offical and the picture nevers freezes. This film only contains one disc too.

Product Description

This video is about cross-cultural adaptation and culture shock. Foreign students share their perceptions of their experiences in the U.S. as each of them (plus one specialist in cross-cultural relations and a few American Students) is interviewed about living and studying in a new culture. The focus is on the arrival and immediate postarrival period and the culture shock which, for most of the interviewees, follows on its heels. It becomes clear that central to the problems encountered are major differences in values and behaviors between the foreign students and the Americans they meet. The documentary covers a range of basic characteristics of American culture: openness/directness, privacy, attitudes toward time, friendship patterns, informality, and competitiveness. Culture Shock is an excellent resource for any program wishing to help its participants better understand the cross-cultural adjustment process and the experience of being a foreigner in the United States. Useful in foreign student, refugee, and teaching assistant orientation programs; briefings for Americans dealing with foreign students; and orientation for exchange students

Customer Reviews:

What's not to like?.......2007-03-23

Three short films by three very talented young directors dramatizing three classic short stories by master storyteller F. Paul Wilson. The films are low-budget, independent productions, allowing each director to express his unique style.

In Foet, director Ian Fischer does an excellent job of showing how the main character is both repelled by and attracted to her new handbag made of foetal skin. I love the scenes where she's strolling down the sidewalk as if she's in a high fashion commercial.

Director Marc Buhmann lets you get to know his characters while slowly but relentlessly building the tension. It gave me the classic horror movie watching experience - wanting to shout at the actor, "No! Do NOT go alone!"

Director David Moore's Lipidleggin' is full of warmth and charm even as it delivers a rather serious message about freedom of choice. The acting in Lipidleggin' is better than a lot of what comes out of Hollywood these days.

All in all, this DVD is WELL worth the price. Fans of F. Paul Wilson will not be disappointed. You'll wish it wasn't over so soon.
