Mystery, Alaska is a little town
just outside greatness, or so the
tagline goes. Mystery, Alaska as a
film may not achieve greatness,
but it does stand above the
crowd by taking an engrossing
and heartfelt look at a small
town, which revolves around a
practice as sacred to its citizens
as any religion — hockey.
Mystery tells the tale of a group
of ordinary men who play hockey
on the town pond in holy Saturday
games, donating their lives both on
and off the ice to the sport. When
the town is presented with the
chance to play against the New
York Rangers by petition of an ex
resident, the Mystery players jump
at the opportunity.
With a well-written screenplay
by David E. Kelley (“Ally
McBeal,” “The Practice”), this
film is memorable for daring to
portray the characters as living,
breathing human beings instead
of two-dimensional characters.
Possibly dismissed as an adult
Mighty Ducks, this film is anything
but. Dealing with a variety of is
sues off the rink, Kelley catches a
startling glimpse of small-town life.
Kelley pulls no punches with
the language, either. This film
proceeds to utilize nearly every
curse word known to man in vast
quantities, which may offend
some. However, the use of foul
language contributes to the film’s
realism by representing true-to-
life conversations.
Director Jay Roach [Austin
Powers) proves the success of
the Powers movies is not simply
due to Mike Meyers. Using great

You’d be surprised at all the places our company pops up
poolside. The swim trunks these guys are wearing are
manufactured using Koch’s products. So are their plastic

cinematography and excellent
music, Roach brings depth and
maturity to the film, surprising
considering his past movies.
Featuring performances from a
cast including Reynolds, Russell
Crowe, Mary McCormack and
Azaria, this movie succeeds as a
strong ensemble film. Also, clever
uses of cameo appearances by
Mike Meyers and Little Richard add
a little extra humor to the film.
Mystery, Alaska is probably not
going to win any Academy Awards
this year, but it is a winning, re
freshing and extremely entertaining
comedy. (Grade: B)

Random Hearts
Starring Harrison Ford
and Kristin Scott Thomas
Directed by Sidney Pollack
Random Hearts is an aptly
named movie. At least the ran
dom part is. Horrible editing cou
pled with an extremely involved
storyline makes Ford’s latest ef
fort something film teachers will
show students as an example of
bad filmmaking.
A Washington D.C. police of
ficer, Sgt. Van Den Broeck
(Ford), finds out his world is not
exactly what he imagined when
his wife’s plane crashes. He
finds out his wife and the hus
band of congresswoman Kay
Spencer Cullen (Thomas) were
sitting on the plane together as
husband and wife.
Forced to reevaluate their en
tire existence. Van Den Broeck
and Cullen turn to one another
for help in deciphering the mys
tery of their spouses’ secret
lives. This is where things are
supposed to heat up.

In actuality, it is the moment
where the film starts to miss a
beat. It starts off with tension and
energy lacking from many of
Ford’s recent films. But when the
film attempts to move away from
the paranoia and mystery from
questioning everyday happen
ings, it begins to fall apart into
near-nonsense.
Sidney Pollack [The Firm) real
ly drops the ball on this movie.
With two of the most interesting
stars in Hollywood and a screen
play based on the novel by War
ren Adler, this film had block
buster written all over it. Pollack
insults both the stars and the nov
el when he uses horrible editing
in the movie. With seemingly ran
dom cuts, the film takes some ex-
