November 9, 2001 The Lion’s Eye Page 5 cocooFeaturese see Movie reviews Zoolander By JENNIFER RUFO -No stars- If looks could kill, this movie would surely be a winner with stars such as Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell, as well as cameos by two of the Spice Girls, among others. However, all the pretty faces could not save this movie from going down the drain. The plot is dense and not worth the effort. Zoolander (Stiller's starring role) is a rather stupid male model looking for meaning in life when he loses the Male Model of the Year Award to an archrival. In his quest to do so, he becomes brainwashed by the bad guy (Will Ferrell) to assassinate the emperor of some foreign country. The movie was based in New York and I did not see any signs of the World Trade Center. Zoolander attempts to be funny at an Austin Powers level, but fails miserably. Don't waste your hard-earnedmoney on Ag This movie was not romantic or sappy enough to be worthy of being a chick flick. Starring Drew Barrymore, Riding in Cars With Boys is basically about the life of Beverly (Barrymore) who becomes pregnant at fifteen. The movie flashes back and forth between present day and the 1960s, showing the plights of Beverly and her son Jason. The story goes on slowly for two and a half hours. Jason grows up and blames every- thing on his mother, and his mother blames everything on him, though in a short span of ten minutes, they are magically able to work through their family dysfunctions. In a small way, this movie is cute, but drags on. Wait until it comes out on video if you real- ly need to see it The title says it all. Molded vaguely around the story of the 18th century serial killed extraordinare Jack the Ripper, From Hell is a gruesome trip through the bars and broth- this one, though the actors do a decent job. Riding in Cars With Boys By JENNIFER RUFO From Hell By ROB COYLE -casted Johhny els of filth-ridden London, led by the always bizarre and extremely type Pepp and featuring prominently Heather Graham’s cleavage. Depp plays Fred Abberline, a Scotland Yard Inspector with opium-induced psychic abilities, hell-bent on stopping the grotesque murders occuring in his district. Graham plays Mary Kelly, an Irish immigrant whoring herself on the streets to get by, and along with her small group of equally loose friends, the target of the madman. As one-by-one her friends are butchered, Depp must race to discover the identity of the killer berate she becomes the final victim. This extremely dark and disturbingly graphic movie, while not for the kiddies, is still worth the price of admission. But with graphic depictions of slashed throats and muti- lated genitalia, it is definetly not for the queasy. ASASAg Do you believe in fate? Do we have any chance of making our own decisions? When Serendipity By SHAWN PETTIT it comes to Jonathan and Sara, fate is all they can depend on if they want to be together. In the lighthearted film Serendipity, John Cusack (Grosse Point Blank, America's Sweethearts) plays Jonathan, a nice guy looking for love, and Kate Beckinsale (Pear! Harbor) plays Sara, a psychiatrist with an obsession for fate. They meet on a snowy win- ter day in 1990 in New York when shopping for gloves. They instantly hit it off and decide to go out for a sundae at Sara's favorite café, simply called Serendipity. The story continues present day, when Jonathan and Sara are both about to marry. Days before their weddings, both of them decide to look for this person that they had this mag- ical connection with. With help from his obituary-writing friend Dean (Jeremy Piven, PCU), and an irrita- ble sales clerk (Eugene Levy, American Pie), Jonathan goes searching around New York for his special someone, while Sara flies to New York from San Francisco with her new- age saleswoman friend Eve (Molly Shannon, Superstar) to find Jonathan. While the story has its suspenseful ups-and-downs, such as finding each other's pre- vious addresses in the most random places, it turns out to be a sweet story perfect for dates. Just be careful if the person you take doesn't take suspense too well and decides to claw into you during the entire movie. Astrological ning for November Aries Don't hold back this month Ram.
