Poster Art From art.comAdaptation   2002     3 and a half stars    R, 110 min.
Genre: Comedy / Drama / Romance
Director: Spike Jonze  
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper, Tilda Swinton, Cara Seymour, Brian Cox, Judy Greer, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Ron Livingston, Jay Tavare, Stephen Tobolowsky, Gary Farmer, Doug Jones, Jim Beaver

  Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Nicholas Cage) takes on the project of adapting Susan Orlean's (Meryl Streep) non-fiction book, "The Orchid Thief," into a movie. Orlean's story involves John Laroche's (Chris Cooper) poaching of "ghost orchids" from a Florida Everglades natural preserve. Charlie faces a mid-life crisis when his brother Donald (also played by Cage), who is following in his brother's footsteps as a screenwriter, moves in with him. Donald breezes through the writing of his assigned screenplay. Meanwhile, paranoid Charlie encounters more than a few problems writing his and, in the process, ends up as the subject in his script that tells of his inability to adapt Orlean's book into a film. Cooper won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role; three other nominations were received, including Best Actor (Cage) and Actress in a Supporting Role (Streep).

  This is the tale of 50 years of the prominent Trueba family of South America. It has a strong message about the politicos in our Southern Hemisphere. However, the poorly written screenplay detracts from the telling of the story and misses the impact of Isabel Allende's novel from which it was taken.

My vote for the best Woody Allen film1fatts 03/26/2007 
  My vote for the best Woody Allen.
I was captivated from the opening shot: black and white fireworks over the Manhattan skyline, music by Gershwin.
There is the Allen Jewish-New Yorker-Neurosis stuff and the Allen self-deprecating humour, and it is all good. Better than good is Mariel Hemingway: the actress for sure, but not just the actress. The character. The screenplay. There is an unsentimental understanding that Woody Allen the director has of Woody Allen the character (called 'Isaac Davis" in this version, but Woody Allen is Woody Allen). It is a funny piece, but Isaac is self-centered and essentially selfish, and it costs him a lot and may cost him everything. This all revolves around Tracy (Hemingway) which is written bravely out of rhythm with almost everything else and is ultimately the move moving for it.
If you see no other Woody Allen film. . .

  As the winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture, this film deserves its accolades. Meryl Streep plays Kenya resident Karen who is married to Baron Bor Blixen-Flexe (Klaus Maria Brandauer), but her husband has been cheating on her and is often away on business leaving Karen alone on their plantation. Karen falls in love with British hunter Denys Finch Hatton (Robert Redford) who is too independent for marriage, which suits Karen because she prefers a no-strings relationship. Denys and Karen go on safari together in the badlands of Africa and gain a new respect for African culture. Sydney Pollack won an Academy Award for Best Director. In all, the film won seven Academy Awards and had four other nominations, including Best Actress (Streep) and Supporting Actor (Klaus Maria Brandauer).
