Up With
"Down With Love," Unload "The Matrix" Renee has always reminded me of Doris, not in looks, but type, speaking voice, and presence. She's the perfect choice for this film and at times I thought it was Doris up there! I spent half the movie doing double takes. If I had known, I would've brought a giant drink for spit takes. She has a wonderful speech near the end of the film that put me away. I'll say no more. The only trick they missed was Doris' soft lens filter on her close-ups. If they did that, I didn't notice since I had inadvertently reversed my contact lenses (true). Then we went to see "The Matrix Reloaded." I was completely confused and left in the dust by the middle of the opening Warner Bros. logo. Movies don't need to be so obtuse. While Donna watched the film, I went for a stroll around the theatre ... took in the gum exhibit in Cinema 14 ... spent a Lexus at the snack bar, where I massively increased my intake of liquids so later I could go to the restroom -- you know, to have something to do instead of enduring the show. It's not really a movie. It's either a long, long trailer for "Matrix 3" or a two-hour sunglasses commercial, or both. But I must agree, as seen in the film, shades are the perfect fashion accessory to accent my ever-present pleather body suits and rain drizzle. Copyright ©2003 Mike Durrett. All rights reserved. Why?
