Abandon
Katie Holmes, Charlie Humman
Paramount
For those seeking a psychological thriller that
will generate a few scares, heed the words inscribed
above the gates of hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy:
“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”
As the story of Abandon gradually untolds,
everyone in the audience will be ready to abandon
the theater - either out of sheer boredom or the fact
that the ending is so obvious there is no need to
stay for it.
Katie Burke (Katie Holmes), a senior at a pres
tigious university, is so set on perfectionism that
she becomes overwhelmed trying to balance
upcoming exams, job interviews, a final thesis and
relationships. Through a series of flashbacks
which somewhat impede the forward movement
of the story, the audience learns that part of
Katie’s cold persona stems from her father’s aban
doning her when she was a child. And, if that’s
not enough to deal with, Katie is still struggling to
cope with the disappearance of the love of her life,
Embry Larkin (Charlie Humman).
Typical of female leads in the horror genre,
Katie seems like she has everything going for her.
but is hiding much of her internal turmoil. The tip
of the iceberg occurs when Embry reappears to
haunt her two years after his disappearance.
In the meantime. Detective Wade Handier
(Benjamin Bratt), a recovering alcoholic, is
assigned to Embry’s missing person case. As he
digs deeper into the mystery, he becomes one of
many men who fall for Katie; however, he is one of
the few whom she allows to thaw the coldness of
her heart.
Director and writer Stephen Gaghan, attempts to
intertwine the romantic and psychological elements
of the movie into a twist at the end. but by the time
that finally arrives, one has long figured the secret
he tries to hide. The story line lacks depth, causing
the movie to drag, and the sequence of the scenes
will confuse the audience as they cut from flash
back to present.
In a season rich with horror films, neither the
disappointing climax nor the mediocre acting is
enough to place Abandon among the top of this
year’s Halloween films.
jackass: The Movie
Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontiu
Paramount
For viewers who enjoy movies thatsimub
ously cause them faces to hurt from laufci
their stomachs to hurt from the urge tovomit
Jackass: 1 he Movie is a perfect fit.
Jackass: The Movie, an MTV and
production, includes the same actors,
and idiots from the “Jackass” television series
on MTV. The movie, which hit the boxoffk-
on Oct. 25, is basically everything that MTV
wouldn’t air on regular programming.
Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius (akaPam
Boy), Bam Margera, Steve-O, PrestonLacv
and the ever-loved Wee Man all star as guvs
who beat up themselves and each other.TIk
movie includes props such as shopping carts I
electric razors, roller skates, muscle stimula
tors. a 12-gauge shotgun and a toy car. One '
may wonder what anyone could possibly do
with all these props in one movie, but just
imagine the most disgustingly hilarioususes
for each of them. The result is pretty closeto
scenes from Jackass: The Movie.
Without giving away the plot, whichactual-
ly doesn’t exist, it is hard to get into detail
what happens within the 87 minutes of the
movie. Between the first scene of Knoxville
and company in a shopping cart andthelast
scene with a disappearing toy car, Jackass:tin
Movie contains dangerous and sometimes
extremely crude stunts, language, nudity and
hilarious stupidity.
