Movie Reviews of Primary Colors
Movie Review: The primary colors of paints are Red, Blue and Yellow
Summary: 5 Stars
Traditionally the three primary colors are considered to be Red, Blue and Yellow and the secondary colors Green, Orange and Purple, thus mixing Red and Blue will make Purple, mixing Red and Yellow will make Orange, mixing Blue and Yellow will make Green, and mixing Red, Blue and Yellow will make Black.However this does not always work. Sure, mix Red and Yellow together, and you'll get Orange. However mixing Blue and Yellow does not make green, at least not if the blue is a strong, true blue. In that case, you'll get Black. And the Purple from mixing Red and Blue is likely to be dark. You cannot get a bright purple from mixing red and blue paint.
A primary color's complement (opposite) is the mixture of the other two primaries. Mixing a color ink or paint with its complement produces Black. From the above model, pairs of complementary (opposite) colors are Red & Green, Blue & Orange and Yellow & Purple. Though mixing the latter two will make black (or at least a very dark color), I've always found that mixing Red and Green paint produced Brown.
Movie Review: Interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
Talk about a veinly camouflaged movie about a President; Turn around the situations and names, and you got President Clinton dead on!! You have this southern governor who is charismatic,handsome and married; Yet, no one knows him and he starts a campaign and slowly builds momentum and popularity; Yet, things dogs his campaign; His wife's hairstylist claims a long time affair, his black friend who owns a BBQ restaurant daughter is pregnant by him, when his main opponent has a heart attack in the middle of an on the air debate, things seems to look bad before it's begun, and his longtime manager, who has had mental challenges kills herself after a moral issue comes up; Very interesting movie; You can see Travolta take on this persona so well; Shucks you see Jack Staton(Bill Clinton) shine through and is believable; Emma Thompson as the smart yet cold wife is also quite good considering she's English; Billy Bob Thornton's role was the scene stealer; the part when he says he comes from slaves and all, it just makes you shake your head; Very good political flick;Movie Review: Excellent Satire
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is an excellent satire of the 1992 Democratic Presidential Primaries. John Travolta and Emma Thompson nail (pardon the pun) Bill and Hillary Clinton with their performances as Jack and Susan Stanton, a governor from a small southern state and his overly ambitious wife. It's worth watching for Kathy Bates' perfomance alone. Bates deserved the Oscar (she was nominated.) Her comic/tragic performance is one of the best supporting performances captured on film. The character of Henry Burton is a little flat, but not because of Adrian Lester's lack of trying, he just isn't given much to work with. He is the only normal character in a sea of eccentrics, and thus isn't allowed to shine. The movie is faithful to the novel of the same name by noted political writer, Joe Klein. The rest of the supporting cast are equally great, especially Billy Bob Thornton as the James Carville-esque consultant. Larry Hagman also turns in a touching performance. This movie and the novel are musts for every political junkie.Movie Review: "Wow" is the only phrase that comes to mind
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first stumbled across a very very late night airing of Primary Colors on television, I was hesitant to sit back and enjoy the show. Political films just don't float my boat, since I find the actual politics somewhat uninteresting. However, within about forty-five seconds, I was hooked on this compelling comedy-drama. The story is superb, even though it isn't anything we haven't heard or joked about before. The acting is beyond superb, with every character given a voice and a story, so that you feel that nothing that is said or done is out of place. Although the comedic moments are great, what is really surprising is how, by the end of the film, you are deeply affected by the outcome of each character's story. And although the film is about politics, it is completely non-partisan and leaves the viewer to draw his or her own conclusions. I feel that I cannot say enough good about Primary Colors. It is a surprisingly wonderful film that I would recommend to everyone.
Movie Review: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...you make happy...
Summary: 5 Stars
What an ensemble cast! Probably Travolta's last great performance in a movie, but he's not even the best one in this. Billy Bob Thorton is at his comic best and noone can play a better redneck in a movie (not even the great Robert Duvall, whom he idolizes). The best acting though is Kathy Bates. In her best performance since Misery (which was kind of over the top) and in just a small supporting role, she gives dimension and soul to a character other actresses may never have been able to channel. Even though the movie is longer than most comedies, every scene is well crafted in both the writing and directing that no scene is wasted. Lastly, I think that with all of the cylanders clicking at once with the acting, directing, and screen-writing, I highly recommend this movie to anyone.
