Despite
the inevitable law of diminishing returns, The Matrix Revolutions
is quite satisfying as an adrenalized action epic, marking yet
another milestone in the exponential evolution of computer-generated
special effects. Picking up precisely where The Matrix Reloaded
left off, this 130-minute finale finds Neo (Keanu Reeves) at
a virtual junction, defending the besieged human enclave of
Zion by confronting the attacking machines on their home turf,
while humans combat swarms of tentacled mechanical sentinels
as Zion's fate lies in the balance. |

Like
a good dream, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation envelops you
with an aura of fantastic light, moody sound, head-turning love,
and a feeling of déjà vu, even though you've probably
never been to this neon-fused version of Tokyo. Certainly Bob
Harris has not. The 50-ish actor has signed on for big money
shooting whiskey ads instead of doing something good for his
career or his long-distance family. Jetlagged, helplessly lost
with his Japanese-speaking director, and out of sync with the
metropolis, Harris (Bill Murray, never better) befriends the
married but lovelorn 25-year-old Charlotte (played with heaps
of poise by 18-year-old Scarlett Johansson). |
