The Crying Game is the unpredictable, unconventional, multi-Oscar nominated masterpiece that has become the sleeper hit of the year.

Never has a motion picture undermined viewer expectations so thoroughly and enjoyably.

The Crying Game offers a rare and precious movie experience. The film is an unclassifiable original that surprises, intrigues, confounds, and delights you with its freshness, humor, and honesty from beginning to end. It starts as a psychological thriller, as IRA foot soldier Fergus (the incomparable Stephen Rea) kidnaps a British soldier (Forest Whitaker) and waits for the news that will determine whether he executes his victim or sets him free. As the night wears on, a peculiar bond begins to form between the two men. Later, the movie shifts tone and morphs into something of a romantic comedy as Fergus unexpectedly becomes involved with the soldier's girlfriend Dil (Jaye Davidson) and discovers more about himself, and human nature in general, than he ever dreamed possible. Like Spielberg's E.T., The Crying Game was supposed to be director Neil Jordan's "little, personal movie," the one he just had to make, even though no studio was willing to give him money because the story was so unusual. Instead, it became a surprise popular sensation, thanks in part to Miramax's cleverly provocative campaign playing up the hush-hush nature of the movie's big secret. The performances (including Miranda Richardson as one of Fergus's IRA colleagues) are subtly shaded, and the writing and direction are tantalizingly rich and suggestive; you're always trying to figure out the characters' true motives and feelings--even when they themselves are fully aware of their own motives and feelings. The Crying Game is a wise, witty, wondrous treasure of a movie. Director Jordan's credits include Mona Lisa, Interview with the Vampire, Michael Collins, and The Butcher Boy. --Jim Emerson

The memoirs of game-show creator-host Chuck Barris (the man responsible for The Newlywed Game and The Gong Show) are the inspiration for this sneaky biopic, which not only covers Barris's television career, but also his exploits--unsubstantiated, but also not disproved--as a government assassin. As Barris, Sam Rockwell gives a gutsy, manic-depressive, warts-and-all performance, depicting how Barris cheated repeatedly on his longtime girlfriend Penny (Drew Barrymore), was recruited into the CIA by a stone-faced agent (George Clooney, who also makes a stylish directorial debut), created some of the most popular yet reviled TV shows of the 1970s and '80s, and had a torrid affair with a mysterious, beautiful operative (Julia Roberts). For a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is pretty straightforward, letting Barris's fevered brain speak for itself. The result manages to be lurid, comic, and oddly philosophical. --Bret Fetzer

Description

George Clooney (OCEAN'S ELEVEN), Drew Barrymore (CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE), and Sam Rockwell (THE GREEN MILE), star in the comedy thriller that poses an irresistible question: What would happen if a wildly successful TV producer was also a top-secret CIA assassin? While a maverick creator of America's favorite game shows gains notoriety for his smash television hits, he is also drawn into a shadowy world of danger as a covert government operative! But soon his life begins to spiral out of control -- both of them! Directed by George Clooney and based on Chuck Barris' cult-classic autobiography, with a script by Charlie Kaufman (ADAPTATION), this entertaining hit delivers comedy to keep you laughing . . . and intrigue to keep you guessing!

A Very Funny, Star-Packed, and Deeply Disturbed Romp.......2007-04-03

A movie that combines "Ocean's Eleven" stars and a core storyline from "A Beautiful Mind" with the TV progenitor of Simon Cowell? It seems unlikely, as does much of the book this film's script was based on, yet it all comes together well in a very weird, but hilarious piece of entertainment.

Sam Rockwell is dead-on as game show producer Chuck Barris, who created not only two staples of American television mediocrity (The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game), but also the "American Idol" of the 1970s -- The Gong Show. The only differences between Barris' production and today's "Idol" are that Barris featured ONLY bad wanna-bes, so there were no recording contracts and such offered, and his judges were a lot funnier, as was he. Of course, viewers were different back then, too, in that they didn't know what to make of a show on which struggling "talent" were verbally abused. Today, that's half of Idol's viewership. In any case, Rockwell's portrayal of him is perfect.

Equally good are Drew Barrymore, as Barris' on-again, off-again, on-again love interest, George Clooney as Barris' supposed CIA handler, and fellow assassin Julia Roberts. In fact, Barrymore is considerably better here than in most of her roles. The appearance of Rutger Hauer also made me laugh, especially given the tough guy roles he used to play. And cameos by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon are priceless.

As for the "A Beautiful Mind" reference, Barris' assertion that he served as a CIA assassin during that period is so absurd that it immediately made me think of the Russell Crowe/Jennifer Connelly film's delusional spy sequences. It's also fitting considering that the central message of Barris' book is that it is immensely painful to have a brilliant mind in early life, yet end up wasting it on developing cheap fodder like "The Dating Game." (Pretty much the story of American televison in general.)

Don't get me wrong -- this is NOT a movie classic. Still, Barris is such a weird yet bright man that the film is fun throughout. And its depiction of this period of TV-making in America is funny, believable, and all too insightful as to how we ended up with the flood of "reality" and game shows that pollute our TV screens today. The film blames Barris, because he did himself, but it's the networks that pushed and paid for this dreck, and still do.

If you have an absurdist bone in your body, you'll at least get several laughs out of this. Enjoy.

"The winner is the one who doesn't blow his brains out.".......2006-12-13

`Confessions of a Dangerous Mind' has its fair share of followers. I, for one, am not one of them. I just couldn't get into this film the way I wanted to. I couldn't find much about it that made me all that interested. It covers the life of famed TV host Chuck Barris, the creator of shows like `The Dating Game' and `The Gong Show' but what this film really tries to chronicle is his supposed (never proven, never denied) stint as an assassin for the CIA. This isn't handled the best way and it ends up coming off a bit far fetched. Even his recruitment is a scene that makes me laugh; like anyone would just walk up to you and offer you a job as an assassin.

Sam Rockwell does a fine job here, but he's easily upstaged by the two women in his life, long time girlfriend Penny (Barrymore) and fellow assassin Patricia (Roberts). This being Clooney's debut in directing he didn't do terrible...he did far better in the directing department then he did in the acting for his Jim Byrd was so stiff and unbelievable it was laughable. Actually, my favorite scene of incredible acting came when Brad Pitt and Matt Damon cameo as two contestants on `The Dating Game' who get passed up for the overweight loser sitting next to them...the best scene in the movie and it only lasted a few seconds. So it has its moments of comedy but for the most part this film is far fetched, drug out and meandering, so much so that it loses interest and speed long before it should.

so under appreciated.......2006-11-10

This movie is great - great plot- great story - great cast. Clooney does an awesome directing job here. One of the few films I left in the theatre saying - "I'm gonna buy that on DVD."

Delusional and Paranoid Meltdown .......2006-07-25

I like films that deal with Faustian characters who trade their soul for money and fame. Take Boogie Nights and Mulholland Dr., two of my favorites. Now Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Like those other two movies, we have a character who throws his whole life away to become a glittery celebrity. As such, Chuck Barris creates such abominations as Dating Game, Newlywed Game, The Gong Show. His TV ideas we learn are born out of his disgust for the human race: its need to be seen on TV even in a foolish light; its love of money even if it means selling out your spouse. In addition to seeing Barris' inner mind work as he creates these popular programs, we see his parallel life--mostly delusional we are to assume--of his job in the CIA, complete with killing 33 people. We assume this delusion is designed to make him feel important.

The film truly captures the pathos of the Faustian Bargain and is even suggestive, especially with its mother conflict and the need for unconditional love, of the masterpiece Citizen Kane.

it wouldve been perfect if theyd shown eunice singing "feelings".......2006-07-04

i liked "the gong show" 30 years back, but the spoofs of it were always sophomoric and obvious (save for a brilliant moment when eunice on "the carol burnett show" appeared). but the ultimate goof on it is chuck barris's autobiography, wherein he "reveals" his alternative life as a cia hit man. this movie takes you along on a hallucinogenic ride, and if you are willing to enjoy it, you will. first-time director (and costar) george clooney, as well as julia roberts do great work, but the drew barrymore character just seems to drag the story down. and sam rockwell as barris gives what *shoulda* been a star making performance. if its ten minutes too long (it is), its still a grand concept.

The Most Dangerous Game is a classic, one of the first talkies to get pictures moving after five very static years following the birth of sound. The plot finds resourceful hero Joel McCrea and heroine Fay Wray being hunted on the island of the insane Zaroff (Leslie Banks). One of the grandfathers of the summer blockbuster, the film's setup has been reworked many times since, notably in John Woo's Hard Target (1993). By modern standards it's technically primitive, though still gripping stuff, complete with the jungle set built as a test run for King Kong (1933) and graced by Max Steiner's prototype of all Hollywood action scores. --Gary S. Dalkin

The Most Dangerous Game (1932).......2007-06-21

Made by RKO during Willis O'Brien's simultaneous production of "King Kong," and utilizing much of the same cast, crew, and sets, this thrilling adaptation of Richard S. Connell's short story about a man who waylays seafarers and then hunts them for sport wowed audiences in 1932. McCrea, playing a professional hunter journeying to Brazil when his ship strikes a reef, is suitably rugged, especially in a breathtaking, cliff-edge fight with one of the Count's vicious hounds. But Wray's woman-in-distress (honing her scream for "Kong," no doubt!) and Banks's slightly campy yet menacing count really drive the picture. Fabulous sets, cogent direction, and a diabolical concept all make this "Game" a visceral pleasure. Imitated many times, but never with as much vigor.

Great Early Adventure/Action Film.......2007-03-20

As a fan of the great 1933 classic King Kong, I bought this DVD mainly out of curiosity, as the jungle sets built for it were used several months later in King Kong. The film is fairly predictable, but the hunt/chase sequence is truly nerve-rattling and well worth the price of admission. The scenes of Fay Wray (this time a brunette) running terrified through foggy jungle foliage anticipates her later work in Kong; indeed, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference!

However, Robert Armstrong (as Wray's brother) is completely wasted in this film (literally and cinematically, as you'll see). He's a rather foppish drunk throughout, and his character hardly resembles that in the later Kong. Wray's patented scream is well in evidence though, and I can see why the producers brought her in for Kong. Leslie Banks, as the sinister Zaroff, is a tad formulaic, especially when he's seen stroking his old head wound constantly, and his ultimate demise could have been better thought out.

There are no dinosaurs on this Skull Island, but a dozen or so large, vicious hunting dogs fill the bill adequately, particularly during the foggy chase scenes. The film's rear-projection work is cleverly done and very effective.

Joel McCrea's character is good, but the violent loss of the boat's entire crew in the beginning seems to have had little effect on him. As a big-game hunter, toward the end he reflects on what it's like to be frightened and hunted himself.

Overall, a very entertaining movie.

Buy The Alpha.......2007-03-14

I have both the criterion DVD and the Alpha, and I prefer the Alpha. The image and the sound are excellent. It's probably the best Alpha DVD ever made. Don't waste your money for the criterion if you are not an hardcore fan of this film. The differences between the Alpha and the criterion are :
1. no audio commentary in the Alpha. If, like me, you don't listen audio commentaries, it's not a problem.
2. NO LOGOS at the beginning of the film. At the beginning of the criterion version there's THREE LOGOS folks !! First the logo of criterion, second the logo of Janus films, third the classic RKO logo. Unfortunately the RKO logo is not in the Alpha. But the other two logos are too moderns for a film of this age.
3. No english subtitles in the Alpha. I'm french and like to watch movies at least with english subtitles, if there's not french subtitles. I don't lose very much because the sound is very clear and there's not too much dialogues.

So that's all ! Buy the Alpha !

The Most Dangerous Game (Irving Pichel, 1932)

I have an admission to make that's pretty embarrassing for a self-professed film snob-- I'm a big, big fan of Ernest Dickerson's star-studded 1994 flop Surviving the Game, the most recent (that I know of) adaptation of Richard Connell's infamous short story "The Most Dangerous Game." And I tend to compare all the other adaptations to it, and find they all fail. This one's no exception, though it's certainly better than most.

The 1932 film version The Most Dangerous Game will probably end up an historical footnote; much of the crew behind this movie-- co-director Ernest B. Schoedsack, screenwriter James Creelman, producers Merian C. Cooper and David O. Selznick, composer Max Steiner, and roughly half the cast-- would get together again the next year to film the classic King Kong. Kong, of course, is one of the much-beloved classics of the cinema, while The Most Dangerous Game languished in obscurity for decades. The reason? Well, there's not much to it.

In this adaptation, a yacht encounters a nasty storm, and ends up sunk near an island owned by eccentric Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks). Zaroff is a big-game hunter, as is one of the wreck's survivors, Bob Rainsford (These Three's Joel McCrea), and Zaroff promises Rainsford excellent hunting in the morning. Rainsford knows something suspicious is up, as does Eve Trowbridge (Fay Wray), a survivor from a wreck a few days before who's still at the mansion. They just can't figure out what until they're caught in it...

Much of the problem with The Most Dangerous Game is that Creelman took what is at its heart an action story and tried to make a suspense movie out of it. The first half of this surprisingly short (sixty-three minutes) film is spent in drawing rooms talking, rather than focusing on the action, as the story does. Now, this sort of thing has been done very well many times, of course, but not here. First, because there's just not a great deal of suspense built up, but second (and more important) because the source material is so well-known that the audience already knows what's coming. It probably doesn't help that Pichel was a first-time director; even with Schoedsack's input (Schoedsack was responsible for four films previous to this, with the most famous being 1929's The Four Feathers), there are still pacing and camerawork issues that mark this as a first film. And for a first film, it's a very good one, especially once the hunt begins. As an enduring classic of the silver screen, however, it seems a bit lacking. ***

a product of an era much like our own.......2007-01-18

Previously considered a dress rehearsal for Cooper and Schoedsack's history-making King Kong (released the following year) or, truth be told, not at all (it was a lost film until prints were discovered in the 1970s), The Most Dangerous Game has undergone a critical makeover of sorts in recent years. It's not hard to see why. Adapted from Richard Connell's acclaimed short story of the same name, Game is deeply a product of an era echoed by our own - a people still coming to grips with the assembly-line slaughter of the first world war while standing on the precipice of a second.

Celebrity big game hunter Bob Rainsford (Joel McCrea) is on his way to yet another safari - we meet on him on the deck of a yacht, regaling those around him with his intrinsically Darwinian philosophy of life: "The world is divided into two kinds of people in life, the hunter and the hunted." Ah, but how easily one becomes the other when the yacht is shipwrecked off the shore of a nearby island and the passengers are eaten by sharks. Rainsford luckily is able to swim to shore, but it is here where the story really begins as he becomes the target of a maniacal "Cossack" Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks, his own face scarred by war, here exaggerated with makeup), bored with traditional hunting but consumed by a different kind of "game."

The double meaning of the title (Game refers both to the pastime and the prey, this being man) becomes quite clear in the film's artfully directed climactic chase sequence when tables are turned once more. The villain Zaroff is an artifact of an older, dying world of brick castles, dungeons, and crossbows. Gentlemen hunt each other (read: war) out of boredom and call it sport, initiated after brandy and cigars in the study.

Alas, even for an aristocrat like Zaroff, there's no chivalry to be had in death - is it no accident that the Cossack, with his affinity for rustic weaponry, ultimately sees his henchman done in with a pistol. As he himself lay dying, Zaroff can only watch helplessly from his little island as Rainsford and love interest (Fay Wray) jet off in a gas-powered motorboat. It's a direct affront to the villain's spoken axiom that lust for flesh is best fulfilled after lust for blood, and indeed, one of the earliest cinematic expressions of "Make Love, Not War." While only preceding King Kong (and its overt anti-hunting themes) by a few months, it predates (in its own charmingly unsuspecting way) the 1960s hippie movement by a good thirty years.

Interesting footnote: If you think Zaroff's isolated stretch of land looks an awful like Skull Island, you wouldn't be wrong. Both Game and Cooper and Schoedsack's follow-up, King Kong, were shot using the same sets at the very same time - Game was photographed at night while Kong was filmed during the day. The Most Dangerous Game was later remade by Robert Wise as 1945's A Game of Death. Emphasizing the war parallels, "Count Zaroff" the Cossack was converted into "Erich Kreiger" the Nazi.
