Cleverly titled films such as
'Ocean's 12' aim to delight
an unsuspecting public
BY RYAN NYBURG
PULSE EDITOR
Winter is almost upon us, and
it’s time for Hollywood to
unleash another load of
holiday cheer on to an unsuspecting
public. Here are a few delightful bits
of cinema verite, among other things,
that we have to look forward to.
On Nov. 26 we have “Alexander,”
starring Oliver Stone’s ego and a
cast of thousands in a historical
biopic about the Macedonian con
queror best known today for his
steamy affair with co-star Angelina
Jolie. Also opening that day is
“Christmas with the Kranks,”
which is based on a novel by John
Grisham — always a mark of high
cinematic quality. In a casting
move that defies all cynicism, it
stars Tim Allen.
Opening up December in fine
fashion is “I Am David” on Dec. 3.
The film stars James Caviezel in a
non-messiah role, as well as a cast
of unknowns that no one really
cares about. Dec. 10 is dominated
by a pair of potential blockbusters.
The first is the brilliantly titled se
quel “Ocean’s 12,” which stars
George Clooney and 11 other peo
ple. The second is the also brilliant
ly titled sequel “Blade: Trinity,”
which stars Wesley Snipes and a
professional wrestler.
Opening Dec. 17 is “Lemony

the Opera,"
which is due
for release this
December.
Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate
Events,” starring Jim Carrey as an
insufferable bastard who makes life
hell for a group of children. Wasn’t
this already made as “Mommie
Dearest”? Also opening is “The Avia
tor,” starring a cast of Aryan youths
in the story of the dead eccentric rich
person, Howard Hughes.
Dec. 22 brings the “Meet the Par
ents” sequel, “Meet the Fockers.” It
stars Barbra Streisand as a woman
with an annoying, high-pitched
voice. Also opening is “Phantom of
the Opera,” a film that will bring all
fear and horror of an Andrew Lloyd
Webber musical to the big screen.
Opening a few days later is some
depressing art film or other and
“Fat Albert,” a movie for all those
children suffering from nostalgia
for the animated television shows
of the 1960s and 70s.
Coming Dec. 29 is “Beyond the
Sea,” final proof that Kevin Spacey
has no career left as he stars and di
rects the biopic about the life of Bob
by Darin. Maybe Mack could take
his knife and put an end to this
tragedy, har har (please kill me).
January starts off right with
“White Noise” on the seventh, a
film in which Michael Keaton is
haunted by the ghosts of all the
crappy movies he’s starred in.
The pain parade continues on Jan.
14 with “Elektra,” a spin-off of
“Daredevil.” If the theory of

piss too many people off, which
may be the reason that ska made a
comeback. In the past few years,
Bush-mania has forced angry musi
cians out of their shells and into the
fray. Fat Mike of NOFX led the charge
for punks to revisit their roots and
get active. The steady lull in song
writing that followed Green Day’s
album “Dookie” was broken when
the childish pop-punksters grew up
and released their latest album,
“American Idiot.” Even electronic
bands such as The Faint are weaving
Bush jabs into its butt-shaking beats,
and record labels such as Hopeless
and Fat Wreck Chords are dedicating
entire compilations to lambasting G
dub.
The dangers that the past four
years have presented to democracy
and civil rights have shaken up a
lot of musical artists, and as a re
sult, music has become a little
more relevant. Our political cli
mate might be in the toilet, but
now that bands have another four
years of frustration to inspire them,
we’ll at least have something to lis
ten to on the way down.
