Summary: Urban Legend
Review: I think that this movie was really good. It was interesting how it had a twist at the end and how you had to keep on guessing who used the Urban Legends as a way to murder people. If you liked Scream, or I know what you did last summer then I think that you will like this. It is somehow different from Scream.

Summary: Hey, guys, look! Pretty people who can't act!
Review: "Urban Legend" is a prime example of The Little Horror Movie That Could, But Didn't. (And for those of you who think that was a crazy, displaced analogy -- good for you, because it was). While the premise of the film was seemingly promising (a psychopathic murderer clever enough to off his or her victims using, you guessed it, urban legends), the film did nothing to capitalize on its potential. Admittedly, it was entertaining to a point. But anyone who has ever seen a movie with a mystery can figure out the twist in the plot (you know...the one that the director didn't plan on revealing until the end of the movie) within twenty-four minutes. And as for the crucial aspect of 'Whodunit?' Was I the only one that figured out the killer a long, long, long time before the climax? I didn't think so. The movie is essentially nothing more than a miscast variety of pretty people in their twenties walking around (and I say walking around only because nobody in the movie seemed to know how to act) and screaming...way too loudly. The ensemble cast reflect a laughable combination of television outcasts and teeny-bopper idols (find me someone who worked on this movie who hasn't starred in at least one ill-fated or tragically auspicious television series). But what's worse (and not to beat this point to death) is that none of the 'pretty people' can act! (i.e. Alicia Witt should be shot). Simply put, "Urban Legend" lacked eloquence. Not only was the dialogue predictable and unrealistic, but the movie itself went 'over the top' at least once every six minutes or so. And in a final insult to moviegoers everywhere, the film was crowded with outside references. In other words, the directed wanted to make sure that no one took the film seriously (i.e. Did you know this is only a movie?), and subsequently embedded obvious allusions to the cast members during crucial moments in the film. For example, When Damon turns the ignition in his car, Paula Cole's "I Don't Want To Wait," is conveniently playing on the radio. (For those of you who need a further explanation, the character of Damon was personified by Dawson's Creeker Josh Jackson). But perhaps the worst moment...not just in the movie itself, but in the history of the entire film industry...occurred towards the movie's end, when some (intuitive) student comments on the murders, and how they must have been committed by The Noxema Girl. As said student gets a rousing laugh, enter: Rebecca Gayheart a.k.a. (yeah, you guessed it) The Noxema Girl. At that point, I cried, not just for myself, but for all humankind. Bottom line: Don't expect to be impressed, or you'll be entirely disappointed.

Summary: Take out, anyone?
Review: Urban Legend, a film by Jamie Blanks, is a project that shows ambition and panache, but in the meantime can't resist winking at us periodically to let us know that it's just a movie. It is the story of six coeds who are involved in a campus murder mystery involving urban legends. The ensemble features the lovely Rebecca Gayheart (Brenda) as the sensitive friend, Alicia Witt (Natalie) as the nice girl with secrets, Tara Reid (Sasha) as the trashy nympho, Micheal Rosenbaum (Parker) as the funny and cynical party guy, Jared Leto (Paul) as the cute and brash reporter and Joshua Jackson (Damon) as the crazy frat boy.The setting is the fictional New England campus of Pendleton University. The trouble begins as a young woman is driving home one rainy night and is decapitated by an ax-murderer from her back seat; at the same time Professor Wexler (Robert Englund of Nightmare on Elm Street slasher fame) is starting his course on urban legends. He explains the history of them as though they trace back to our very roots as a people in the brave new world, though they really reflect the modern zeitgeist of shock, told by the party raconteur. His explanations are laughed at until the bodies start piling up. The murders continue on campus until only two of our lovely young group are left; though you didn't hear that from me. They are carried out gruesomely and the clues lead the viewer astray at every turn. This crowd is not interested in true mystery. They are the creators who don't obey the rules they set forth in the world they created and, presumably, no one minds. The rule of thumb for a comedy is simply "was it funny?" so then the rule for these hip horrors should be, "was it scary?" The short answer is no. The frights are heart-leaps at shockingly loud sounds in key scenes; the kind that are forgotten moments later. It is the cinematic equivalent of Chinese food. The very title of the film suggests the playful and frightening spook stories that we hear, but the story here is a ruse; it isn't even a playful ruse to wit. It is illogical, self-serving and straining to be hip. The cliché's abound gleefully: The university's staff of the shady janitor; the staunch Dean who sweeps every disturbing improbability and murder under the proverbial rug; the eccentric ne'er-do-well cop (this time campus security). The postmodern marriage of the beautiful 20somethings -- generally with television experience -- and scripts that don't call for actors, but recognizable faces, does tend to have box office rewards, however. This is not Oscar-courting territory but rather Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards work (with two of the four nominees in recent years being same-sex kisses). The self-conscious humor doesn't fare much better to those purposeful with the critical impulse. When Damon starts his car, only to hear the pop song "I Don't Want To Wait" come blaring out, he shuts it off. It is the title song of the television show Dawson's Creek which he has a starring role in. Later there is a joke about a participant in a campus urban legend being the Noxema girl; enter Ms. Gayheart who has been its television spokeswoman for several years. Don't get me wrong, I'm not above bingeing on eye candy occasionally but I need a good meal sooner or later.
