Jack Slater is an action-film hero played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. An old projectionist (Robert Prosky) hands a magic movie ticket to Jack's biggest preteen fan (Austin O'Brien), and the kid steps right inside the latest Jack Slater film, becoming the actor star's sidekick in gunfights and car chases. But when Jack's nemesis (Charles Dance) gets his hands on the ticket, the fight busts out into the real world and Jack (à la Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear) refuses to believe he's a fictional character. Director John McTiernan churns some nifty scenes out of this setup, although the fiction-to-reality shuffle is not as deft as in, say, Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo, and the plot needs the kind of logic and discipline found in that classic when-worlds-collide film Back to the Future. Still, Schwarzenegger has moments of wit and smashing action, and we get a faux-movie trailer advertising an intriguing new shoot-'em-up: "Something's rotten in the State of Denmark--and Hamlet is taking out the trash!"

An emblematic cult movie! .......2007-07-05

"The last action hero" is a puzzled fable, a movie within a movie, a smart recreation of our modern vision about the seminal concept of the hero, rescuing the essence of its meaning, spiced of clever humor that truly demands from the viewer a very detailed knowledge of certain classics of the genre.

Jean Epstein as well as many other theorists of the cinema, have established over and over the fact to watch a movie into a dark hall surrounded of other people that barely or nothing know about, it `s very close to what we might a sensorial experience, a cathartic evasion (and sometimes a spiritual meeting, just in very reduced exceptions like Tarkovsky, Bresson, for instance). But Mac Thiernan knew to employ smartly all the available devices to convey us through this labyrinths of missed images, memories and livings immersed in those frames that run 24 times by second, because the movie occupies a place into our contemporary memory, according the level you regard it.

Pitifully, the message was not entirely understood, due perhaps the presence of Scharwzeeger meant for many people full action without another second reading.

The Dumbing Down of America.......2007-02-23

The following story will tell you why this movie bombed at the box office.

While visiting family in Miami one of my cousins went to see the movie. When he got home he was telling me how much the movie stunk. As he was talking it became obvious to me that he had taken the movie seriously. So I yelled at him "It's a parody!! He's making fun of action movies in general and himself in particular!!" I could see the lightbulb go on over his head and he went right out and saw it again.

Needless to say, he loved the film. As do I. It's not often that a big star has the guts to make fun of himself just to make his fans laugh. So if you have this film languishing in your collection somewhere you need to see it with this in mind. It's parody. Satire. Comedy! Watch it and have fun.

GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!.......2007-02-22

Arnold is the world's greatest actor. If there was justice in the world, he would be given the Oscar every year. I actually moved to California, so that Arnold would be my governor. Last year, I voted for him twice. This is his finest film. Note the superb cinematography and witty repartee. I heart Ahnold.

Lousy Movie.......2006-06-28

I love a lot of Arnold's movies but this movie is just a one time viewing.
My overall opinion a horrible movie, would have been great if it was actually funny.

Last Action Hero........2006-06-17

Saw this movie on HBO and it was very cool.I like it when Jack Slater says to the bad guy at the end,"No sequel for you".Rated PG-13 for strong action sequences.Canada:14A.Great movie for the whole family.

Description

Sara (Julia Stiles) wants to be a ballerina, but her dreams are cut short by the sudden death of her mother. She moves in with her father (Terry Kinney), who she has not seen for a long time, in Chicago, mainly in the ghetto. She gets transferred to a new school where she is the only white girl there. Her life takes a turn for the better when she is friends with Chenille (Kerry Washington). Later, she falls in love with Chenille's brother, Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas).

some hesitations.......2007-06-01

first--despite The New Yorkers vulgar description of Miss Stiles as "The reigning teen queen" I find her an intelligent actress willing to take on challenging roles. Second I hope folks have noticed that many of the "teen" remakes of classics--I'm thinking of Shakespeare and Jane Austen --have been quite well done, and often much better than laborious efforts to film the original.

This film "pace" the younger sets comments seems to me a thoughtful piece of work. The director is taking on a rather delicate problem--and I don't mean interacial romance. What troubles me in this film is the relationship between the sexes. I want to be careful here because I do not mean to be preaching some "sexist" agenda--however I am troubled by the treatment of black men in this film who because of what I regard as a feminization of the west that began some thirty five years ago--largely for economic reasons men--especially black men (though in this film ironically most particularly a white man) are become economically marginalized. Another of Miss Stile films--a remake of Taming of the Shrew makes passing reference to this. Good for her!

OK--the dancing was great and the film is well worth watching--I paid attention and thought it worth sounding pompous and longwinded to say whay I felt about it.

Making a trip to the dawn!.......2007-02-04

I definitely tired when the people do this kind of stuff. And think they can get the cheese before the mice, that bother me a lot, I so hard, but since I'm not making a copy-cat of another comercial of a quality product, like those crazy bees, Gosh I hate those utterly insane bees but I absoultley concur about the made statement a week before about the problems of you can have if you think milk is the solution to the problem, I know Albama is a great place but I think it will get more overrated with that poor scale made by sea people.

Great dancing & music. I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the actors and actresses did a great job. They worked well together and probably had a great time; it comes through on film. It's probably a chick flick, I'm a chick, I thought it was slammin'!

Save the Last Dance enjoyed a profitable release in early 2001, with box-office earnings that exceeded anyone's expectations. Its performance illustrates the staying power of a formulaic movie that avoids the pitfalls and clichés that would otherwise render it forgettable. Since there's nothing new here, you'll appreciate the original quirks in a character-based plot that's just around the corner from Flashdance, and just as familiar. Sara (Julia Stiles) gave up a promising ballet career when her mother was killed while rushing to attend her daughter's crucial audition to Juilliard; Sara blames herself for the accident, and at her new, mostly African American high school in Chicago, she's uncertain of her future.

Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas) has no such doubts; his own future is bright, and his attraction to Sara is immediate; they connect (predictably), and Sara's dormant funk emerges, with Derek's coaching, as she learns hip-hop dancing in a local club. Obligatory subplots are equally routine: Derek's sister (Kerry Washington) is a single mom struggling with her child's absentee father; Derek's best friend (Fredro Starr) feels trapped in his gangsta lifestyle; and Sara's once-estranged father (Terry Kinney) is doing his best to correct past mistakes. Within the confines of this standard follow-your-dream drama, director Thomas Carter capitalizes on a script that allows these characters to be real, intelligent, and thoughtful about their lives and their futures. It's obvious that Stiles's dancing was intercut with that of a professional double, but that illusion hardly matters when the rest of the movie's so earnestly positive and genuine. --Jeff Shannon

J'ai regardé ceci avec ma fille et c'est un remonte très le film. Il a multi l'appel intergénérationnelle. (I watched this with my daughter and it is a very uplifting movie. It has multi generational appeal.)

Excellent movie.......2006-06-22

This is one of my favorite movies. I love the plot, the characters and just about everything about the movie. I didn't care for Derek's friends though, and was glad when he didn't join them in their antics. I loved Julia Stiles and Sean patrick Thomas together. They both came across as real. This is a definite 5 star movie.

Save the last dance.......2006-06-20

My friend made me watch this movie, and after watching it, it became one of my favorite. The story of the movie is new and interesting. Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas are awesome. The movie is worth watching. Great dancing.

Interacial relationship?.......2006-04-24

Ok, get with the times. Same race relationships are something of the past. Quite frankly there aren't a whole lot of people that care about interacial relationships anymore, and these couple certainly don't. They do run into some who do however, which puts a twist in the story. But it does take two to tango, right?

It's a great movie, with great actor\actress'. Must see. Julia's dancing is wonderful. He was there to back her up all the way, even when she didn't want him to be.

film of the year.......2006-04-05

By the title it doesnt seem too convincing to watch this film but oh my god, this film was a masterpiece.Julia Stiles as one of the main character here.This film is full of comedy, dancing and romance.Its up there on my 10 faveroute movies list.It is defenitly for me the film of the year.This fantastic will get you upbeat and you will be dancing on the edge of you seat.

Here's hoping it truly is the last dance!.......2007-01-05

This is not Dirty Dancing. The movie had no flow, and when it ended it had no where to go anyway. The acting
was sloppy at best and the dancing, the reason one would buy such a movie, was just tolerable. Don't know what
the director of this bomb was thinking, but here's hoping this was their last film.

A labor of love.......2006-11-25

This movie is not without flaws--the dialogue and acting occasionally seem flat, recycled storylines, melodrama, etc., yet I am a sucker for dance movies and loved it nonetheless. It's pretty obvious from the get-go that Travis and Chrissa are soul mates destined to reconnect after seven years of separation and misunderstandings. When Alex, the emotionally abusive director of a New York Dance Company, goes too far with his criticisms (this is the point where I'd like to introduce people of Alex's bent to the wonders of Dale Carnegie in helpfully motivating people), three dancers' lives are redirected. Chrissa has a nervous breakdown (we later learn that she was newly pregnant during this scene, so horomones and stress contributed to her break) while Travis (injured from overexertion) can do little to comfort her besides telling off Alex. Max, the other member of the pas de trois, carries off a sobbing and temporarily deranged Chrissa to the nearest mental health hospital. (The three dancers were days away from premiering a pas de trois dance before this misfortune interrupts them.) Travis wrongfully assumes that Chrissa hasn't contacted him because she wants her space and wants him out of her life (he doesn't realize she had been hospitalized). Chrissa, meanwhile, is hurt that Travis hasn't inquired after her and therefore, keeps her pregnancy a secret from him. Max is the middle man, and seven years later, he is instrumental in reconnecting the estranged lovers when the struggling company decides to resurrect the Pas de Trois.

Yes, the plot is the stuff of soap operas, but it has heart, and the real-life love between Patrick Swayze (Travis) and his wife, Lisa Niemi (Chrissa), is palpable on-screen. Also, I can always empathize with someone who is experiencing a breakdown of sorts (read my Fred Luskin's "Forgive for Good" and Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" reviews for an insider's perspective on what an awful experience this is). In addition, I appreciate this movie's undercurrent theme: move beyond the negative voices we've picked up through the years.

Swayze and Niemi are no longer twentysomethings, yet they hold their own in this physically demanding art form. They dance beautifully.

In the behind-the-scenes special feature, Swayze said that this production hired four choreographers to represent the latest happenings in the dance world. I loved the choreography and the dancing--it was breathtaking and innovative. (I watched this movie with a friend who takes dance classes with me, and I bemoaned to him--half kidding and half wistful, as dance is my foremost passion--that I would never dance at this caliber until my next life.) I was thrilled to see some of the very same dancers in this movie who have graced the covers of Dance and Pointe magazines. The dancers said that they felt like they really were members of the movie's dance company and that there was a spirit of collaboration and non-competitiveness as well as a suspension of ego during filming. One dancer said that he and the other dancers could easily and happily tour the movie's original dances to (he confidentally believed) great acclaim.

Beautiful film. .......2006-11-18

I am a dancer. I found the choreography in this movie beautiful, brillient and different. The emotion in it really touched me, and I had actually fallen out of dancing because of many different reasons and this movie really did bring me back to my love of dance. It's very rare to find dance movie that will offer quite as much as this movie did. Not to mention I absolutly adore George De La Pena. Awsome dancer and he was my favorite character in the movie. I love the fact that every character has something they are working through, no one is exactly perfect. To me, although the acting may not be what every one would call oscar quality, to me, it shows a glimps in to life. How pent up emotions can lead to frustrations that are some times difficult to get through. This movie, to me is well worth the watch. Sorry for the ramble.

Who wrote this? .......2006-11-10

Waste of time. I turned it off. The "extra features" were slightly interesting. The actual film was just a vehicle for the creators to show themselves dancing. A vanity piece. Why not present just the dance and save us from excruciating, badly-written melodrama. Don't bother.

beautiful leading young actress. cliched, lukewarm and hollow screenplay and storyline. nice to watch but nothing special to praise about. but mtv should do this kinda movies more instead of those self-abusing jackass series.

Save the Last Dance 2 - DVD.......2007-02-20

DVD Was Good, not as good as the first movie.

Lighter Story Than The Original. Nice Final Dance Scene..........2007-01-19

In this movie, the script writers took all the HEAVY out of it. The two main characters are beautiful on camera. This sequel chose to focus on the story versus the dancing. The first film had a more compelling story.

However...there is something that makes me like this one better...although I LOVE the first one's final dance solo better and have watched that part of the film over and over.

This one just had a lot more funny characters and was notably LIGHTER in tone. The surprise is the final dance group number that is delightful.

Isabella Miko is STUNNING as Sarah. However her dance numbers just don't sizzle (aside from one early ballet solo)...mostly just so so. Columbus Short has an ELECTRIFYING smile and made the movie doubly enjoyable. Jacqueline Bisset was excellent as the hard nosed Julliard dance professor.

This is a light film that will make you smile.

For All The Hip Hop Heads.......2007-01-14

If you saw Save The Last Dance and like the movie then I think you will like Save The Last Dance 2. While the cast isn't big names the actors and actress are very well known. Anyone who studies dance and the art of dance right now will recognize the name Columbus Short as he is the lead male in this movie he is also a choreographer for some of today's top artist. Izabella Miko fits into her role perfectly as seeing that she travel from England to learn how to be a balliernia. With her heart set on being the best she realizes that her love for hiphop and dance will near fail. But when she finds herself having to choose between the two she doesn't know which way to turn but she does make the realization that she can't live without both. This movie was a movie that I can see myself watching quite often it wasn't a big hit like the first Save The Last Dance with Julia Stiles & Sean Patrick Thomas but it was defiantly a great follow up.

Good movie, shouldn't have been a sequel.......2006-10-14

I completely agree with the other review. I liked this movie, but to me it was stupid to make it a second. Granted Julia Stiles (the first Sarah) has gotten a lot bigger as an actress since the first one still.... seeing how she is the only character from the first one C'MON! I just couldn't get over that! I would have liked the movie better if it had no ties to the first one.... Welcome to Julliard or some other title would have been better. With that said, it was entertaining, although the audience it is reaching (girls through pre teens) it really shouldn't have had that EXTREMELY INTIMATE scene that was completely unnecessary! All in all good movie, I'm sure teenagers have seen more sex than this but if you are like me you might want to hold off giving this to your preteen until you have had "the talk".

Is it real, or is it J-Lo? Both, as it turns out. There are 55 minutes of the actual Selena here, filmed live at Houston's Astrodome in 1995. The 23-year-old Tejano singer performs her light, catchy tunes all in Spanish, save for a '70s disco medley (which includes, poignantly, "I Will Survive"); polished and charismatic, if not extraordinarily talented, Selena was clearly on the way up before her death at 23 at the hands of an employee. That she was later portrayed onscreen by Jennifer Lopez, who has eclipsed Selena's stardom by far, no doubt partly explains the inclusion on the DVD of a 45-minute documentary (truthfully, more like a lengthy puff piece for Entertainment Tonight) about the Selena biopic. If you want to know how the filmmakers made those tough decisions about hair, clothes, and lip-syncing, you will not be disappointed. But the real thing's better. --Sam Graham

Robbie Williams - What We Did Last Summer.......2007-03-08

if you haven't had this DVD and you like Robbie Williams (not necessarally a fan), you have to get this DVD! you'll become a fan in no time!

AWESOME.......2006-10-10

I agree with all the reviewers about this concert. I love Robbie Williams performances and yes! it puzzles me and I still don't comprehend why isn't he popular in the USA. I travel to Europe every year and that is how I discovered him many years ago. I'm forever in search of music and just like I "got into" Robbie, I had found excellent singers from many other different countries, so if you don't mind listening to music in another language do explore, it is there.... and I'm glad because here in the US we are not producing anything worth buying, so keep up the good work BRITS.,and CONTINUE to produce and sponsor worthwhile singers.

OUTSTANDING.......2005-12-17

TRULY A GEM. IVE WATCHED THIS CONCERT ABOUT 30 TIMES AND I STILL KEEP ON WATCHING AND ENJOYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, TRULY FANTASTIC I WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING TO HAVE BEEN THERE, AFTER WATCHING ROBBIES PERFORMANCE WATCHING ANYOTHER LIVE CONCERT IS A LET-DOWN, TRUE MAGIC.

So rock n roll, so corporate suit...........2005-12-14

I agree with the other reviewers on this one - this is one live DVD you don't want to miss. It is beyond me why he is not as popular in the States as he is in Europe. Robbie Williams manages to combine his natural presence on stage and rapport with his fans with absolute professionalism. Hence "so rock n roll, so corporate suit", as he sings in Come Undone. You can feel the atmosphere of this temperate summer evening seep into your living room as you watch, and don't be surprised if you find yourself jumping along in time with the songs and clapping when they're finished. I do it even when I'm watching it alone!
So: five stars for quality and length of performance, both in terms of Robbie's own talent and the setup of the DVD. Five stars also for addressing a huge audience, because this show will appeal to established fans and convert all those who haven't succumbed to Robbie's energy and charms.

Things to do Tonight ............2005-08-02

With some help from Skuld, Belldandy unleashes her full powers to save Urd and Keiichi from the Lord of Terror, who is also an embodiment of the Ultimate Destruction Program. Virtue and the love between Belldandy and Keiichi triumph over evil, as Terror suffers the humiliating fate of being degaussed. The story really ends with episode 24: A romance between a child version of Urd and a timid boy, and Skuld's foretaste of maturity feel like afterthoughts to fill out the number of episodes. But fans of this popular fantasy-romance aren't likely to quibble over problems of narrative structure as long as their favorite characters continue their usual high jinks. (Rated 13 and older: risqué humor, cartoon violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Description

Belldandy and Keiichi are caught up in the battle over the Earth's Fate When The Lord of Terror suddenly takes over Urd! The Lord of Terror summons the Demon gate, and woe to us all if she opens it! The world will be overrun by demons. The Valkyrie, Lind, is sent from heaven to execute The Lord of Terror by any means necessary and whatever host body it happens to be using. Belldandy in turn is given the holy flute to summon the mighty Midguard Serpent to fight, but The Lord of Terror can jump from one body into another, therefore escaping peril. Will she be able to take up arms against her sister Urd, or Skuld, or even Keiichi?

An excellent end to the first season.......2007-01-16

This wonderful series finishes up by resolving the Lord of Terror arc. When we left off, Urd was possessed by the mysterious entity. Belldandy had removed her power limiter to attempt to save her sister and the world. but h can freely move between and possess other bodies at will, making him impossible to pin down. The Almighty sends down the Valkyrie Lind to kill the Lord of Terror, but as long as he possesses someone that Belldandy cares about, she won't let Lind finish off the Lord of Terror. The way he was finally brought down... well I certainly didn't see it coming.

The final two episodes were specials in Japan, I think. The first involves Urd reverting to her child state and Skuld being advanced to an adult age. Both of these episodes were nicely done and touching, and seeing chibi-Belldandy AND Aoshima getting more Urd-style punishment makes it even sweeter. Problem is, now all of us AMG fans have to wait until Season 2 is released.

The entire series has been wonderful, with great storylines and beautiful animation and characters, and the final volume is no different. Highly recommended.

Best Of The Series.......2007-01-10

"Last Dance" has four episodes. The first two wrap up the crisis introduced mid-way through the last episode of Volume 5. There are several "false dawns" here- places where the villain is erroneously thought to be defeated- but our heroes have two things going for them: Belldandy's steadfast love, and Sculd's cleverness (even though the technology employed at the end is a bit dated now.) Also interesting is the continued borrowing of elements from Norse mythology.
The final two episodes give each of Belldandy's sisters a chance for romances of their own. Urd's is interesting (Urd has always been my favorite character in the series), but Sculd's is the real gem - she is suddenly propelled into the body of a young woman, with the emotions that go along with it, and her first crush is on the young human male she knows best- Keiichi! It was wonderful to see Sculd's view of Keiichi turned 180 degrees, and even if the audience suspects all along that it won't last even a whole episode, maybe this helped set the stage for the warmer, more tolerant view of Keiichi that Sculd holds in the Ah! My Goddess! movie.

good stuff.......2006-08-28

The fight between Beldandy and the Lord of Terror was completely amazing, and its conclusion left me awestruck. Plus it was nice for Skuld and Urd to get an episode and Skuld's episode was one of the funniest in the series! Best. Ah! My Goddess series. ever.

Description

Powerhouse creative forces unite, and sparks fly, in Mirra Bank's award-winning LAST DANCE. Bank follows the dazzling Pilobolus Dance Theater and legendary author-illustrator, Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are) as they collaborate on the dance-theater work that honors a haunting holocaust legacy. LAST DANCE weaves rehearsal footage, probing interviews, chilling Nazi propaganda footage and breathtaking performance into a thrilling insight into the creative process. The film holds nothing back as philosophies clash, confrontations abound, and artistic disaster threatens at every turn. But in the end we are rewarded as Pilobolus dancers -- pure bolts of force and grace -- give life to a stark and stunning dancework.

Wonderful Full Length Modern Dance Documentary!.......2006-06-29

This dvd gives us a very complete view of the creation and rehearsal of the dance theater piece entitled "A Selection". This is a dance piece about a very difficult subject to handle in dance: the Holocaust. The original idea for this was developed by Maurice Sendak who collaborates with the modern dance company known as Pilobolus Dance Theatre. To make this clear, please understand that the name of this documentary dvd is "Last Dance" and the name of the dance piece they develop about the Holocaust is "A Selection". The entire performance of "A Selection" is not included, but at the end of the documentary, highlights from one of the actual performances are included. The style of dance is a somewhat acrobatic modern dance. The dancing itself is very exciting, but we are exposed to quite a bit of excitment from the very emotional and vocal verbal exchanges that take place over all the creative differences, not the least being how to portray such gut-wrenching subject matter in dance. The rehearsal scenes are very exciting, taking place in a dance room with great camera work. This is a very lively documentary! In terms of artistry and dance technique, I highly recommend this, but I should warn viewers of some features that might influence whether they want to buy this: first, there is quite a bit of nudity of both men and women(the reason for this is explained as being artistically necessary and it was something they argued about quite a bit); with all the arguing, there is a lot af adult language; finally, the dance rehearsals include, as all dance rehearsals do, light hearted moments and humor and the use of humor as part of the artistic vehicle is also disscussed; because of the seriousness of the subject(the Holocaust) this might offend some viewers(and it has!). The dvd also includes plenty of bonus interviews and background on all the dancers, so the total running time is about two hours. If you are not sensitive to the drawbacks mentioned, you should enjoy this greatly.

WARNING: THE LAST DANCE shw is NOT INCLDD.......2005-04-21

This is a behind the scenes look at the creative process and collaberation behind the "where the wild things are bk''s illustrator (Maurice Sendek) and the Pilobolus dance theaters intrepreation of their 'LAST DANCE' piece.
What you get is footage of alot of rehearsals, and creative studiochoreographic ideas, as well as footage of the effort behind cstmng & stage backdrop.
WHAT IS MISSING is the final completed performance of the LAST DANCE piece, they show a few brief seconds of performance highlights, but not any of the performance from start to finish. I FEEL VERY DECEIVED & MISLEAD by the packaging on the DVD, YOU DO NOT GET 'LAST DANCE' as a filmed choreogrphic piece, you only see the work that goes into creating the entire mis en scene and choreogrphy. THIS DVD IS NOT WORTH THE FULL PRICE, BE WARNED, you are not receiving what the title and packaging leads you to beleive you will see.

Pilobolus.......2004-12-31

A no holds insider's view of how the unique dance Company Pilobolus creates. No other company in America uses the group approach for creating spectacular dances.It works for them but Sendak appears to have found the process very stressful.
