A GREAT SMALL FILM
By Mark Turner
Among the a good deal of films that are freed each year we are treated to some big blockbusters. One this week out on DVD will no doubt be WATCHMEN. But while that movie may be the most sought after film, it will also leave some behind who won’t get to the store in time for their copy. So instead, why not take a risk and watch something a bit more human, a bit more funny and a bit more sad. Why not watch THE GREAT BUCK HOWARD?

Excellence
By Ben T.
If you ever had to wonder why you loved John Malkovitch, this is the reason why. This is the kind of movie you watch with your mouth open. The acting is strong. There’s not a lot happening, this isn’t a thriller, but even in the most general scenes you may see that everyone believes in their characters. I thought I had this film figured out, but I was happily wrong. This story defies convention! John is merely fantastic in this role. Colin Hanks turns in a competent performance. He’s a young actor so he still has to cut his teeth a little, but he did a reasonable sufficient job. His father even shows up for a scene and that’s always nice.

But the real heart of the story I think is “do you still believe in magic?” not the real kind with witches and spells – but “magic” in a sense of wonder and amazement. I don’t want to give anything away but in each scene when you think the story is when it comes to to fall apart, John Malkovitch pulls it off! He holds this film together with his bare hands. He’s like a rock surrounded by superglue. He just makes this story happen. The way he talks when it comes to the humane spirit — without talking in regards to it.
The only way I may give an analogy is…remember in “Braveheart” at the end when he dies for his persons and screams “Freedom!” well, that scene only works if you altogether believe in his character. If you believe that William Wallace actually was THAT much of a believer. Mel Gibson took that reputation to the wall and you had to believe it.

THAT’s what John does with Buck Howard. The reputation is so outrageous and over the top that at original you laugh at him. But then later on you come to realize that this man is a believer. This man is for real, this isn’t an act. He’s not acting. Buck Howard does believe in the magic of the humane soul.

There is a scene at the end when Buck Howard looks at Colin Hanks. Looks at him and you will believe, too. When I left the theater I said to my friends “I have just seen the best movie of the year. And it’s March.”

Malkovich’s “favorite year”
By Charles R. MacCluer
This fine film recalls to mind O’Toole’s “My Favorite Year.” It follows the travels of an aging mentalist (Malkovich) as he enthusiastically performs before shrinking crowds of aged fans—observed with growing wonderment by his road manager, a sceptical young writer (Colin Hanks). Malkovich gives rise to an ode to live performance. The film gives us the same joy as we see the once-famous performer demonstrate that his fame was well deserved.
