...Realism is not, shall we say, high on the list of director Len Wiseman's priorities. At the screening I attended you could sense the audience's adrenaline pumping and then hear the applause burst forth when Willis and his computer nerd buddy Matt Farrell (the very cute Justin Long) escaped from assorted, largely fiery villainies on a regular-say, every ten minutes or so-basis...
Even further back, in Hollywood's golden age, stars--including comedy stars--radiated glamour. Cary Grant could whinny, do a pratfall and wear a dress, but he was still one of the handsomest, most seductive men on the planet. Comedy audiences today are not looking for gorgeous people with cute problems; anyway, they're not finding them (with the exception of that pearly, Grant-like anachronism, George Clooney). The movement has been from class to mass and, in some cases, to jackass...
...pageant look. Indeed, newspaper writers - reflecting the tastes of Japanese men - wondered if 5'9" Mori (who speaks English) embodies anything Japanese at all. Ligron, who has been approached to replicate her success in other countries, thinks it may be just as well. "Japanese men want infantile anorexic kawaii [cute] women in their 20s who act like they're 12. Now girls are beginning to find role models in women with real talent, careers, confidence." And who needs the Japanese market? Mori is now being considered for a role in the hit NBC series Heroes as the love interest...
...this movie's skeptics, I don't mind Rogen. He has sweet eyes, a voice too deep and rich for his age and, in his one nude scene (Heigl doesn't get one, as Mr. Skin will tell you, except for a gynecological closeup late in the film) a cute tush. But by Hollywood beauty standards, he's so on the lower side of ordinary, he almost doesn't belong in movies. That's one good thing about Apatow: he subverts the medium's inherent aesthetic fascism - survival of the cutest - and puts funny people center-screen. His mission...
...Like its predecessors The Cities Book and The Travel Book, this volume is stuffed with photographs-perhaps overly so. Images fight for attention on some layouts. There are also occasional lapses into Orientalist cliché-think saffron-robed monks, misty sunrises and cute, ethnically garbed children. But you'll find enough quality to keep the pages turning. The wealth of quirky factoids also helps: Bhutan, for instance, has a "Gross National Happiness" indicator, and did you know that a German minority (numbering 15,000 souls) can be found in Kyrgyzstan? Don't look for any depth here-the scope...
