State And Main

A big-budget movie crew descends upon the sleepy town of Waterford, Vermont. Soon money ... more

will change hands, careers will be jeopardized and
love will bloom.Pity the poor film director
(William H. Macy, Fargo) who's arrived only to
discover that the local mill - a crucial location
for his movie, since it's titled 'The Old Mill' -
burned down in 1960. The idealistic screenwriter
(Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Talented Mr. Ripley)
would rather pursue a pure-hearted local girl
(Rebecca Pidgeon) than do a last-minute rewrite;
the bimbo starlet (Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex in
the City) is now baulking at her contractual nude
scene; a local teenager (Julia Stiles, Save the
Last Dance) is only too willing to exploit the
indiscretions of the film's skirt chasing star
(Alec Baldwin, Pearl Harbor), and of course, the
power-wielding producer (David Paymer, Amistad) is
panicking about everything. David Mamet's
hilarious State and Main will have you laughing as
you watch this part screwball comedy, part showbiz
satire.

State and Main [VHS] [2001]

State and Main [VHS] [2001]

"A sleepy Vermont town", notes writer-director David Mamet, outlining the plot ofState and ... more

Main, "gets invaded by a movie company and ...
everyone in the town is suborned, polluted,
saddened and ruined. So it's a comedy." As indeed
it is--and, despite his typically acerbic summary,
one of Mamet's most light-hearted films. At times,
as in the shyly blossoming romance between
screenwriter Philip Seymour Hoffman (playing Mr
Nice Guy for once) and bookstore-owner Rebecca
Pidgeon, it turns almost sentimental. Mamet's
viewson Hollywood are notoriously jaundiced ("Hell
with valet parking", he once called it), butState
and Mainnever really sticks the knife in. Many of
the characters--the single-minded, manipulative
director, the nympho actress who won't bare her
breasts for the camera, the seemingly naïve locals
who prove no less devious than the incomers--are
strictly from stock, and much of the film covers
similar ground to Alan Alda's underratedSweet
Liberty(1985). Some of the plot feels
over-contrived, too. Since they're planning to
shoot a movie calledThe Old Mill, the filmmakers
are disconcerted to find on arrival that said mill
burned down 40 years ago. Like, the location
scouts wouldn't have noticed? Still, Mamet's
dialogue is as crisp and literate as ever and the
cast turn in diverting performances--especially
the ever-excellent William H Macy as the director,
and Alec Baldwin, spoofing his own image, as a
predatory star with a taste for underage skirt.
AltogetherState and Mainserves up a diverting
satire on the lunacies of showbiz, though lacking
the last degree of bite.On the DVD:Extras don't
amount to much apart from a batch of
cast-and-director interviews. Of these, Mamet and
Macy (who share a dry sense of humour) offer the
best value. Baldwin sounds oddly star-struck over
his fellow-actors; "I'm a fan more than anything",
he gushes. With Dolby 5.1 sound and widescreen
(1.85:1) the picture sounds and looks handsome,
though in such a dialogue-driven movie visual
spectacle's hardly a key priority.--Philip Kemp

State and Main can Stay

Advantages: classy, intelligent film, excellent cast
Disadvantages: few dvd extras, Rebecca Pidgeon

...system, but we still vote.

It's a clever, satisfying, gentle-hearted character-driven movie and though the characters and locations are sometimes a bit sterotyped I hereby recommend it.

The Tao of the Tao of Steve

Advantages: realistic likeable characters
Disadvantages: predictable plot, and the box design

, chubby guys (hence Philip Seymour Hoffman in State and Main) so, together with the anti-camping sentiments, that probably explains why I liked this movie. It feels and is an independent film. Is it a chick flick? I'm not sure - I suppose it probably is, but guys, especially the grown-up boys in denial, will probably relate (and hopefully learn a little something!) If you liked 'Sideways', 'The Truth About Cats and Dogs', 'The Daytrippers', 'State and Main', you'd like this. Finally, let me just say even though this is a film-only review that the dvd cover was clearly designed by 14-year old boys in heat (or is that on heat??). Don't let it put you off! I hereby recommend it. The Tao of Steve (2000) Dir. Jenniphr Goodman Available at amazon.co.uk for £7.97, and I've just seen one at ebay for £2.00. Website (from where stills I've added ...

Review of The Tao Of Steve (DVD)

Go Team Edward

Advantages: Easy going, enjoyable, good love story
Disadvantages: looks like forced chemistry, glad they changed directors

believe I got a good deal paying £8 for this brand new online. The DVD Cover/Case and Artwork This edition has a picture from the movie poster featuring Bella and Edward (Portrayed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.) It has the title along the bottom with the typical Twilight typography and the tag line ?When you live forever, what do you live for...?? and a critical evaluation stating it to be the best film of the year. (James King, Radio One) The artwork on the main feature disc is similar to the front cover of the DVD case and on the extra features disc has a group shot of the three enemy vampires Laurent, James and Victoria. The back of the case details the extra features content and blurb as well as pictures from the film. The Plot Twilight is the story of unrequited love. Bella is the new girl in town and wants to be ...
