	Celebrity
		The etymological origin of the word is "one who is celebrated." An alternative definition of a celebrity is a person who is famous for being famous (regardless of what first brought them to fame).
		What it takes to be a celebrity depends on the cultural context and the historical time.
		The advent of mass media increased the public interest in celebrities, and has even developed into a self-substantiating circuit.

	Celebrity (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.cs.virginia.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Celebrity is not unique to modern societies; royal families, the nobility, popular preachers, and other religious leaders were the celebrities of pre-industrial societies.
		As well, child celebrities are notorious for having poor emotional health in adulthood, and often turn to drug and alcohol abuse when their Celebrity (as it usually does) fades.
		In other cases, particularly in the United States, Celebrity may be confined to only one state: Lin Sue Cooney, for example, is a well known television reporter in Arizona, but she is not that well known in other areas.

	Celebrity - Movie Commentary by Scott Ventura (FeedMyEgo.com)
		Celebrity is one of those movies that feels a bit like meditation.
		The overall effect of the movie is uninspiring.
		Branagh does a terrific impression throughout, and is one of the highlights of the movie because of it.

		But while their exasperated exchanges fuel the movie's humor, they also reveal its deepest theme -- the simple longing to be truly accepted and understood.
		When you first started referring to the movie, a year or so ago, it was still called "This Is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona" [the title of the short story the film is based on].
		It's not a matter of how many Indians are in the movie, the idea is to write a movie in which there's a real story and real characters.

	Jean Reno: Godzilla - Movie
		I'll be honest up front--I've seen this movie 1 and 1/2 times, but it only took that half of a time about a month ago to figure out why the movie didn't work as well as it could have.
		I mean the movie has action from beginning to end and oh what a fantastic, dramatic, and exciting ending.
		This movie was great, I thought the actors were pretty well suited to this movie, you don't need really famous actors to make a good movie, I'm getting fad up with seeing actors like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise etc on the tv anyways.

	The Louisville Scene - Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The cast of an Allen movie continues to be one of the more fascinating aspects of his work.
		He anchors his movies with strong actors and populates them with attractive rising stars who feel special for being selected by Allen.
		At its best, "Celebrity" touches on the ridiculous reasons some people become famous and the unfulfilling trap that results from seeking love through the phenomenon of stardom.

	Salon Entertainment \| Star dreck
		She gives the movie's best performance, funny and sexy and lively, despite working for a director intent only on using her character as an amoral airhead symptomatic of society's ills.
		That movie was distinguished by Allen's first African-American character, a prostitute referred to in one charming instance as "the fl hole." But there isn't a woman in the movie who isn't vapid, crazy, shrill, duplicitous and professionally -- if not personally -- castrating.
		Allen's best movie of the '80s and '90s, "Manhattan Murder Mystery," was dismissed as a slight, feeble throwback to the days when he made comedies (as if those films that gave us so much pleasure had suddenly become beneath consideration).

	SJB Review of Celebrity (1998)
		More than 30 movies into the game, Woody Allen finally puts his plea into the air, in skywriting: H-E-L-P. Big white letters in the sky for all to see.
		Robin's growth and development are the most interesting parts of the movie, making Lee's adventures seems like so many red herrings.
		Celebrity is entertaining, but any comparisons to Hannah and Her Sisters and Crimes and Misdemeanors would be undeserving.

	"Celebrity Deathmatch" (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Part WWF freak show, part celebrity roast, and 100 percent outrageous satire, "Celebrity Deathmatch" is one of the best ideas for a novelty TV show to come out in years.
		And the celebrities themselves (actually impersonated by voiceover artists) have the most fun of all, coming up with ever more creative ways to annihilate each other while making references galore to their own movies, their opponents' movies, and pop culture in general.
		"Celebrity Deathmatch" is even more fun to watch if you have a bunch of friends over and you want to do some Vegas-style gambling.

		And I lost my faith completely when William B. Davis, aka the Cigarette Smoking Man, aka Cancer Man, made his entrance and I realized that the larger-than-life presence he usually casts from within my Zenith in the corner of the living room was no more than a trick of the light.
		Yes, the movie is true to the spirit of the show -- it's the biggest, best-looking "X-Files" episode ever.
		The movie (which is unofficially called "Fight the Future") continues last season's TV finale in only one respect: The FBI has shut down the X-Files.

	1998 Celebrity - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.cs.virginia.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lee Simon (Branagh) is a journalist roaming from one celebrity encounter to the next, all the while trying to pitch his screenplay and come to terms with his recent divorce from his wife, Robin (Davis).
		The movie could have used some of those opera supertitles giving the current pairings, as it is frequently hard to keep straight who is currently sleeping with whom.
		The screening is of a fl-and-white, arty movie by a "pretentious" director.

	Movie Picks 1998
		I have compiled a list of which I consider to be the top 10 movies I saw in the theater, the top 3 I saw on video, a few honorable mentions, and one or two movies that I didn't see but heard good things about.
		Two things: 1) When I saw the movie the person I saw with said that he felt like someone had taken a drill to his head -- that was what watching that movie was like to him.
		The movie is influenced quite a bit by Woody Allen, whose voice is used for the central character.

	Celebrity
		In Celebrity, Allen anticipates possible criticism with a line about "pretentious filmmakers who shoot everything in fl and white." Maybe a filmmaker, even as brilliant (in CV's opinion, anyway) as Woody Allen, is as much influenced by what the producers could manage in the current budget as by any more profound considerations.
		One cannot help but to speculate that Allen's own celebrity, and the invasiveness that celebrity injected into his private life, was a motivating factor in the choice of subject here.
		Woody Allen, the celebrity, is an enormously successful and self assured individual, whatever the pain of his neuroses.

	Celebrity - Woody Allen Movie Review and Info
		Celebrity follows Lee Simon (Kenneth Branagh), a journalist, around over the course of one year.
		Woody Allen's portrait of the celebrity life--as seen through the eyes of a newly divorced couple--is a fl-and-white, New York-style La Dolce Vita that's a chillier flip side to Allen's earlier New York valentine, Manhattan.
		He tries his hands at celebrity profiles (while peddling a screenplay to any star that will listen) and falls into the lap of a bosomy starlet (Melanie Griffith), the first in a long line of briefly attainable women.

	About final fantasy, movie reviews, final fantasy movie poster!
		This movie isn't a paramount to the 7th art but it certainly broke some new ground.
		Summing up, this movie is worth watching for the animation, a second watching will also probably clear up some things in the plot, it gives a good idea as to what to expect from future animation and sets a new standard.
		I have to admit that most of this movie's computer-generated images looked great on the big screen and were perfect for the world created within the script.

	Hank Azaria: Homegrown - Movie
		Which was the most devestating part of the movie.
		In a nutshell, it's an ok movie, and that's about it; it lacks that extra something to put it over the top.
		The performances seem spot-on, and the movie's creators have admirably avoided some common pitfalls: the growers aren't presented in a "Robin Hood" light, but neither are they demonized; the violence in the film is neither overstated nor glossed-over; and the ending, thankfully, isn't stock Hollywood.

		The hero's restlessness infects the rest of the movie; the story feels febrile and unhappy, and Allen seems to take his dissatisfaction out on his helpless characters-especially the women.
		While he goes deep down the world of movie stars, supermodels and big celebrities, Lee ends up his marriage with Robin, who at first doesn't take well the breakup but soon gets involved with a charismatic man that changes her life an vision about the future.
		Celebrity should disappear into the void never to be stocked on a dvd rental shelf again.

		Oh, there are other story elements featured in his newest movie, "Celebrity" — such as an examination on the nature of fame, as well as the effects it has on people.
		Also, that term might be used to describe the majority of the film's characters, who are too self-absorbed to be likable — that is, aside from Mantegna, who's charming in an unwritten role, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who has a pretty funny cameo role as a spoiled actor (art imitating life?).
		"Celebrity" is rated R for rampant profanity, sex, vulgar sexual references, slang terms and sight gags, a violent confrontation and drug use (cocaine).

		New York, nowdays, as a stage, as a puzzle of dazzling characters trying to be celebrities or trying to live as celebrities.
		The movie is a reflexion about fame, about famous people and their behaviours to the public and in private.

		His new film, called Celebrity, is a broad satire on our culture's obsession with fame, but when it premiered with a life-imitates-art gala at the recent New York Film Festival, Allen was too busy shooting his next movie, in a railyard in Queens, to attend.
		In every aspect of the culture, in every aspect of life, there are celebrities, so Joey Buttafuoco gets a television show, and a guy walks down the street with a sweatshirt and Charles Manson's picture is on it.
		Of his own celebrity, the 62-year-old Allen still claims, "It's a complete surprise to me. I was a writer for years and stayed in a room, isolated.

		Trivia: In the movie, Lee Simon is an alumnus of Glenwood High School.
		Celebrity (1998) Woody Allen accomplishes what Bob Altman attempted in Ready to Wear: showing lots of movie stars and model types acting like, well movie stars and model types.
		Lots of selfish, crude behavior on the part of everyone makes this a veritable "How to Succeed in Hollywood" movie, though I wonder if that was Woody's intention.

	The Gong Show Movie
		The movie functions in part as a family portrait and a snapshot that could only have been taken at the dusk of the '70s.
		Barris celebrated fringe behavior, exalted the no-talents who displayed their ineptitude in exchange for their 15 minutes (usually far less).
		All the movie lacks is the true-life happy ending: Chuck dumps the show, sells his production company to the tune of $100 million, and moves to France, where Jerry Lewis (Langford?) has already prepared the natives for the arrival of a misunderstood comedian.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Celebrity"
		Lee the writer, covers the celebrity beat, and meets various types of famous people from the really important to the wannabee importants, while Robin, attempts to seriously reconstruct her confidence, and her ability to love again.
		I was expecting a lot of behind the scenes insight into celebrities and the public's fascination thereof, but this film just presented me with a bunch of scenes of Kenneth Branagh (doing his best Woody Allen impressions) trying to get it on with different celebrity types.
		Still, his misfires are considered great compared to other movies so I recommend it for fans and those who just want a few laughs for the night.
