Cranky Hanke's Weekly Reeler June 15-21: Mr. Popper's Green Cave of Forgotten ...

 

Warner Bros. is working overtime to convince us that Green Lantern fills some long-felt want this week. Meanwhile, the folks at Fox insist that nothing spells entertainment like Jim Carrey on ice with penguins. In more specialized realms on the locally level, Werner Herzog explores Cave of Forgotten Dreams and Jodie Foster brings Mel Gibson and The Beaver to town. Make of all this what you will, but make of it here—now with added trailer action!

The only film of the four I’ve seen is Cave of Forgotten Dreams —one of the few movies to use 3D as something other than a gimmick. The review appears in this week’s paper. I have a hunch it’s the most likely thing opening that’s of true merit, but that’s merely a hunch—albeit an educated one. Werner Herzog waxing philosophical about ancient man and his connection to the birth of cinema—among other things—is kind of hard to top.

But looking over the rest of the titles alphabetically, we first come to the opening of The Beaver (so to speak). It’s hard to know what to make of this. Despite getting quite a number of positive reviews—it’s at 65 percent on Rotten Tomatoes—the film has failed to attract much of an audience. It may well be that Mel Gibson’s personal escapades have become just too big to ignore for the moviegoing public. Then there’s the story itself. Honestly, the concept of Mel Gibson as a deeply disturbed man (can you say “typecasting?”) who finds some kind of salvation by talking—in a Cockney accent—through a beaver hand-puppet is not the easiest sell. Regardless, it’s in my future and I admit I’m a little curious.

And then, of course, there’s Green Lantern from James Bond/Zorro specialist Martin Campbell. I suppose there are worse ideas than putting Ryan Reynolds in green tights. But there are two stumbling blocks of some note. In the first place, Reynolds has yet to prove that he can carry a movie. In the second, it’s debatable as to just how many Green Lantern fans there are out there. It’s also a little troubling that the still photos look like some weird mix of John Boorman’s Excalibur and a cartoon. We’ll see. Well, some of us will see, since I’m paying the price for fobbing off Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer on Mr. Souther last week, and so am “looking forward” to this week’s other mainstream release.
