'Poseidon Adventure' Formula Entertainment
3y JERRY MARR
Kansan Reviewer
It is true what the critics say about "The Poseidon Adventure." It is entertaining, it is suspenseful, it has an easy to plot fall. One can even come away content with the excitement of "the implications." Hollywood again shows proof that it can still make a movie with a predictable beginning, a predictable middle, and a predictable end. This is formula entertainment with no secret information in intricate subplots, no special symbolism.
Formula entertainment rarely produces great movies. It often produces bad ones, too. "The Best Possession," Possioned Adventure" is just such an average one. It will surely be a bounty-maker because it fills out the formula with the proper ingredients, big names and lots of laughs.
Twelve major actors fill the screen, including Gene Hackman, last year's 'best actor' in *American Grown*. Carol Lyley, Red Buttons, and Jack Albertson. Unfortunately, most of their performances range from average to below average, with the exception of Shelley
Gene Hackman is the same mind-minded tough guy he played in "The French Connection." Here he portrays a priest who can give himself up to death, and encounter death with a mere twitch of remorse. A true hero. You have to love him for doing the impossible, even if it may be gruesome. He will do it in the best performance of the adventure, by far. Through her portrayal of a middle
aged Jewish grandmother, the audience can really feel the drama of disaster.
Winters' performance, as well as the other principals, however, is almost thoroughly washed out by two forces that operate from the direction and Sirling Siliphant and Wendall Mayes' screenplay. The sometimes inane dialogue and often sterile delivery combine to make most of the characters appear unrecognizable. A disaster reminds one of guests at a cocktail party watching an earthquake on television. Their reactions are just too superficial to be believed. In this sense the character may seem less plastic creatures on those television movies.
Indeed, "Poseidon" could easily be entertainment.电视 television, since it is formula
As Vernon Scott of the UPI notes, “There was a movie that this movie no doubt, no homosexuality.
Nothing in this movie should offend anyone's senses. It is just pure and simple action, and regrettably, the characters are not very credible.
But, perhaps this is a good thing. When the characters are not entirely believable, the audience doesn't (as an imagery) get put into place, but sit back and enjoy the spectacular effects, with which "The Poseidon Adventure" is packed, and not be afraid to be a bit more international. It considers.
The formula is, then, to keep the action lively and spectacular and the characters aloof. So, go to the theater and enjoy "The movie," or wait awhile and it will be on TV.
Ersatz Cream Churns On In Turgid Metamorphosis
By VINTON SUPPLEE
LAING
KAISAN REVIEWER
WHY DONTCHA—WEST, BRUCE, &
LA YARD
"Cream" broke up about four years ago, but you wouldn't know it from listening to this record. Leslie West and Corky Laing come out of "Mountain," which was always "Cream's" anyway, and better yet Jack Bruce, Mr. Cream himself, makes you laugh. So guess what legendy, defunct English group they sound like?
Musically "Why Dontcha?" is very much a product of the power trio school of rock that "Cream" originated back in 1967. The sound is thick, tactile and aback in its essence, but it has undergone some progression. Thus it is almost entirely dependent upon sheer volume for an
powerovering, bombastic effect, a sort of Wagerian rock muzak.
The songs on the album might as well be out-takes from Wheels of Fire or Disraeli Gears since they employ all three instruments, for example is "Rollin' and Tumblin'" combined with "Traintime". Jack Bruce still plays a fair harp. These guys even play "de blooz" on Third Degree, a re-run of any of a few brilliant Brits playing that were tedious and still are.
West plays guitar throughout like a fat Eric Capton on a bad night while Bruce Gates struts through the stage. Ginger Baker imitation, complete with lolling, schizoid drummer pose on the cover.
