Coyote Ugly Meets Hamilton Mayoral Race
We live in a time when Hollywood shyly ejects weekly remakes of dependable plots, terrified to include anything that might confuse the dullest audience member. The new studio guidelines prefer PG cuts from directors, so we get movies like Coyote Ugly that start out with no brains and now don’t have any sex, either. Into this wilderness comes a movie like The Cell, which is challenging, wildly ambitious and technically superb, and I dunno: I guess it just overloads the circuits for some people. – Roger Ebert (Hamilton Spectator, D9, 8/18/2000)
