THE BATTALION
Thurci
U-571
Starring: Matthew McConaughey
and Harvey Keitel
Directed by: Jonathan Mostow

Movies featuring submarines seem to bring out the best in
directors.
Wolfgang Petersen has never outdone his film Dos Bool.
John McTieman’s The Hunt for Red October is his only film
worth watching since Die Hurd. With Crimson Tide. Tony
Scott displayed his best directing effort ever.
So why is it that Jonathan Mostow, the man behind the in
tense thriller Breakdow n, turns in much less than it appeared he
had to offer w ith U-57Tt
Intense and exciting, this movie just does not deliver the
emotional punch that one hopes for.
Andy Tyler (McConaughey) is an executive officer who has
just been passed over lor a promotion to captain shortly before
setting sail with the captain who refused him a letter of recom
mendation. Their mission seize an injured German U-bont
and steal its encryption machine. However, when their own

The script's basis is excellent and the idea is inspiring, but
Mostow disappoints audiences with this film. After the master
ful way he created a tense atmosphere in Breakdow n, one
hoped his "submarine movie” would surpass all other subma
rine movies.
As the movie begins it shows potential becaase the movie
has a great storyline. However, after the American sub is blow n

Center Stage
Starring: Amanda Schull
and Zoe Saldana
Directed by: Nicholas Hytner
With acting a notch above "Beverly
Hills 90210" and first-class dancing.
Center Stage is sure to warm the hearts
of 13-year-old girls around the nation.
Set at the American Ballet Academy
(ABA) in New York City, this film ven
tures into the world of teen-age ballet
prodigies, male and female. The harsh
reality of eating disorders, sleeping your
way to the top and hard-ass instructors
create a sense of reality for the audience;
however, the acting does not.
It is understandable tiiat die acting abil
ity of the suits would he sacrificed in order
to utilize the udents of real-life dancers.
The truth is, this movie is nonstop
ballet; subplots filled w ith relationships
and snobby characters only seem to be
surface-breakers for the dancing. This
movie would probably have played bet
ter as a documentary.
The drama begins when it is an
nounced that a select few dancers will se
cure spots w idi the ABA and various oth
er ballet companies after training held at
ABA is completed. The companies from
all over the country w ill be present at a
grand finale ballet show for recruitment,
and the suspense ensues with the big
question, "Who’s going to get in?”
