Do you consider <em>American Pie<\/em> to be an old movie?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Of course not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> How about <em>Fatal Attraction<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Please.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> <em>Ghost Busters<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Nope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> <em>Rocky<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Which one?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> The best one; the original.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>No.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> <em>Dr. Strangelove<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Huh?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Okay, I think I&#8217;ve got my answer. I take it you weren&#8217;t a big fan of this week&#8217;s movie, <em>The Good German<\/em>, were you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> For me, the first strike was it was done in black and white.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> That it was. Adventurous director Steven Soderbergh, of <em>Sex, Lies and Video Tape<\/em> and <em>Traffic<\/em> fame obviously set out to make <em>The Good German<\/em> as much like a forties noir movie as possible using classic 40s era cinematography &#8212; right down to your dreaded black and white film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I hate black and white movies. He even made the film look &#8220;scratchy&#8221; in places, which I found annoying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> That was a nice touch, I thought. Soderbergh&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id14307-why-i-prefer-a-spreadsheet-to-track-expenses-manage-my-finances-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attention to detail<\/a> was quite keen. Really, the only thing missing was the old Hayes Code restrictions on sex, violence and bad language.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> So why, when you were watching the movie, did the look on your face make it seem like you ate a plate of bad clams?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Maybe it&#8217;s because I think so much effort was spent by Soderbergh and the producers on recreating the 40s noir, that the plot <strong><em>really<\/em><\/strong> suffered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> And that was strike two. The movie was supposed to be a romantic thriller that takes place as World War II comes to a close, but I wasn&#8217;t thrilled at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Cate Blanchett plays a Jewish German named Lena who tells everybody that the only reason she escaped the gas chambers is because she was the ex-wife of a supposedly dead SS soldier. Tobey Maguire plays her boyfriend, a violent and abusive military driver named Tully. Then there&#8217;s our hero, a military correspondent named Captain Jake Geismer, played by George Clooney.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Lena and Jake have a history, and when he returns to Berlin to cover the Potsdam Conference, he finds her trysting with Tully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> The rest of the movie focuses on Lena&#8217;s struggle to get out of Berlin, and an extremely lame murder investigation involving Tully and Lena.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> I thought the acting was mixed. Cate Blanchett did a good job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> You thought so? I thought she was trying just a bit too hard to emulate Marlene Dietrich.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Who?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Marlene &#8212; oh, never mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> I thought Clooney&#8217;s character was very boring. It&#8217;s like he was just going through the motions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> So what else is new? I&#8217;ve seen mannequins at Macy&#8217;s with more personality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> You know who did do a good job? Tobey Maguire did a great job playing Tully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Come to think of it, Tobey Maguire <em>was<\/em> pretty decent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Yes! While he was on screen, the movie actually had some life to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong>Yeah. Unfortunately for both of us he was gunned down twenty minutes into the movie &#8212; and once he was gone, I really lost interest quickly, as neither the usually reliable Blanchett or the stiff-as-a-board Clooney could resuscitate <em>The Good German<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I wish somebody would have resuscitated me, because I found myself fighting off a coma about an hour into the movie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong>Cute. Personally, if you&#8217;re looking for a proper homage to 40s style movie-making, I suggest you&#8217;d be much better off renting <em>Young Frankenstein<\/em> &#8212; at least that movie was entertaining.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Wasn&#8217;t that movie in black and white?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Then forget it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong>While <em>The Good German<\/em> certainly looked like a forties style movie, it lacked the quality of the movies it tried so hard to emulate from the period, like <em>Casablanca<\/em>. Not so ironically, all of Soderbergh&#8217;s efforts to create that 40s feel ended up being sabotaged by the sex, language and violence in the <em>The Good German<\/em> &#8212; stuff you&#8217;d never find in true 40s noir.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Well, I don&#8217;t care what period we&#8217;re talking about &#8212; 40s, 50s, 60s &#8212; this movie was <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1142-8-big-reasons-why-youre-getting-an-f-in-personal-finance-101-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a total failure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong><em>The Good German<\/em> was definitely a bad movie. I guess it&#8217;s safe to say we both rate this as &#8220;sell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Sell? &#8220;Suck&#8221; is a much more accurate description. Talk about two hours of my life I&#8217;ll never get back&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> But &#8220;suck&#8221; isn&#8217;t one of our official ratings, Honeybee. It&#8217;s &#8220;buy, rent, or sell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> It is now. &#8220;Suck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Okay. But I hope you don&#8217;t mind &#8212; I have to publish your official rating in black and white.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Whatever.
