	On "The Hollow Men"
		But it is meaningful that the hollow men are not bound to such a torment as theirs: to follow the whirling ensign, goaded by hornets and wasps.
		As the hollow men grope together, form prayers to broken stone, and whisper meaninglessly, so the poem itself gropes toward a conclusion only to end in hollow abstraction, broken prayer, and the meaningless circularity of a child's rhyme.
		Though primitive man may be something of a mystic, the distant voices and fading star in Eliot's poem show no 'prelogical mentality' from a golden age of childlike innocence.

	Hollow Man
		But ultimately, Hollow Man is simply a paean to some dazzling special effects, the sophistication of which I don't think I've ever seen -- mind-bending in their complexity, blood curdling in their goriness, and almost unthinkable in their realism.
		There's water-covered invisible man, burning invisible man, and blood-spattered invisible man. The capper of course is the phase shift process, one of the more gruesome events ever put to film, and not merely because of the prominence of Bacon's skin-stripped male member.
		Hollow Man is disturbing enough to be fun, and utterly dumb enough to not get in the way of the former.

	Filmtracks: Hollow Man (Jerry Goldsmith)
		In retrospect, Hollow Man remains a disappointment compared to the composer's fantastic output in 1999 because it represents some of Goldsmith's least inspired work in the latter stages of his career.
		Otherwise, Hollow Man is devoid of really interesting material, and this applies even more to action cues in the middle of the film.
		By Hollow Man, the techniques of slurred brass, screeching and cascading strings, and an array of timpani to shake the floors was simply too rusty to carry the score on "that Goldsmith sound" alone.

	Movie-List - Reviews - Hollow Man
		"Hollow Man's" story brings us deep into the mind of a frustrated scientist Sebastian Caine and his abused team who are on the verge of uncovering the secrets of invisibility.
		"Hollow Man" does pave a new road for invisibility and the effects here are truly amazing.
		I liked the questions "Hollow Man" asks but under its shiny special effects surface we have a pretty mind numbing B monster movie without a beast.

	Hollow Man: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Hollow Man revels in the spectacle of the physical transformations --from invisibility to visibility, and vice-versa-- of its two subjects, the gorilla and subsequently, the protagonist.
		Hollow Man successfully integrates special effects to character transformation, by showing the appearance or disappearance of the intricate layers of the body.
		The visualization of the layers between the skin and the skeleton is realistic, and thus, sustains Hollow Man's efforts to portray a world of futuristic science.

		I would not have it imagined, however, that he was one of those cruel potentates of the school, who joy in the smart of their subjects; on the contrary, he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity; taking the burthen off the backs of the weak, and laying it on those of the strong.
		The schoolmaster is generally a man of some importance in the female circle of a rural neighborhood; being considered a kind of idle gentlemanlike personage, of vastly superior taste and accomplishments to the rough country swains, and, indeed, inferior in learning only to the parson.
		Some of the damsels mounted on pillions behind their favorite swains, and their light-hearted laughter, mingling with the clatter of hoofs, echoed along the silent woodlands, sounding fainter and fainter until they gradually died away—and the late scene of noise and frolic was all silent and deserted.

	Hollow Man
		Hollow Man can be characterized as an orchestral suite in two movements: the first six cues focus around variations of an ingenious mixed-meter ostinato that finds unbelievably versatile uses throughout the movement.
		Hollow Man's first movement begins with ominous synthesizers voicing the main theme - a descending, intricate melody that finds an intriguing concert arrangement in the main titles, soon moving to lush yet hostile strings with a humongous chordal bridge.
		With Hollow Man, Jerry Goldsmith returns at long last to the world of modernism with a blistering, uncompromising work that will thrill collectors of his '60s-80s output.

	HOLLOW MAN - DVD
		Hollow Man's biggest problem, after its devolution into standard summer fare complete with explosions, is that title antihero Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon), once rendered unseeable, makes a transition from cocky scientist to cock-eyed homicidal maniac as suddenly and gracefully as one operates a stick-shift.
		Columbia Tri-Star's Special Edition DVD of Hollow Man, with its feast of supplements and glossy transfer, confirms that the film is crutched on CGI technology.
		I pity those consumers who won't get the chance to hear Hollow Man in all its discrete glory, the experience of which is pared down on a separate 5.1 channel featuring Jerry Goldsmith's isolated score and reflections from the seasoned composer on his pre- and post-Verhoeven career.

	cellar door: We are the hollow men
		Hollow Man is fragile and fallible, and as a result completely fascinating.
		Hollow Men are either too weak, or external factors work against them, so they never even begin to take a stand.
		Hollow Man reminds me of Bill Nighy in The Girl in the Cafe (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443518/)- he had a life and something going, but it's only when Kelly MacDonald enters the picture that you see how hollow he and his life really is.

	Hollow Man
		Hollow Man, starring Elisabeth Shue and Kevin Bacon, is the latest effort of Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, who emigrated to Hollywood after achieving commercial success in his native country and filmed what are generally considered to be some of the most vulgar movies ever made.
		In Hollow Man, Kevin Bacon, the head of a scientific team working for the government, invents an invisibility technique, tries it out upon himself, and goes bonkers when he is unable to become visible again and begins killing people.
		Paul Verhoeven's Hollow Man is a retelling of the invisible man story, but without the humor of James Whale's 1933 version of H. Wells's The Invisible Man.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, HOLLOW MAN (2000)
		HOLLOW MAN is one of those movies you either love or hate.
		HOLLOW MAN is primarily the story of Sebastian Caine, played by Kevin Bacon (TREMORS, STIR OF ECHOES), and Linda McKay, played by Elisabeth Shue (BACK TO THE FUTURE II & III).
		The result is that the invisible man and those around him all react correctly to the environment.

	Hollow Man (Soundtrack) by Jerry Goldsmith
		From the first note of Hollow Man, it is clear that this is vintage Goldsmith.
		It is not a poor effort by any means, but it surely could have been so much more if the action cues had a slightly different spin on them, and the main theme wasn't so close to BASIC INSTINCT (not that that's a bad thing, the theme is still very effective).
		With only the first few minutes of music entertaining to the same degree as other Goldsmith efforts, Hollow Man is fourty-five minutes of uninteresting crashes and bangs, with even a few painful sequences.

	Hollow Man
		Fundamental to almost all invisible man films is the concept that madness follows the loss of visibility since the person cannot handle the moral dilemma of unrestricted actions.
		Such is the case of Hollow Man. Doctor Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon) is a genius.
		Like the locker room scene in Robo Cop or the shower scene in Troopers, the nudity in Hollow Man sets up the premise that Caine is reduced to a man without the normal checks on his morality but again the scenes seem forced.

	dOc DVD Review: Hollow Man (Superbit Deluxe) (2000)
		One would hope that the screenwriters of Hollow Man would also be full of fresh and entertaining ways to utilize this unique condition, but instead they have sacrificed creativity for a more simple story of gore and mayhem.
		Hollow Man is not a very interesting film to watch unfold, given that the visual effects consistently overshadow any semblance of a story.
		Extras Review: Hollow Man is one of the first features to be released in the new Superbit Deluxe format, where Disc One is dedicated to the feature and a second disc houses the extras.

	Hollow Man (2000)
		And though Hollow Man is by-and-large a film of little color, Verhoeven adds welcome spark with radiant serum-vials, vibrant thermal imagery, and one splattery, very red scene involving pints, and pints, and pints of blood.
		Also included on this DVD release are "Hollow Man: Anatomy of a Thriller," a standard, 15-minute, promotional making-of featurette from HBO; a theatrical trailer and teaser for the film; Web links (not Mac compatible); additional trailers for Columbia titles; and "Talent Files" offering brief resumes for Verhoeven and five of the actors.
		Though Hollow Man's lackluster script suffers from predictability and soulless storytelling, the eye-candy and clear transfer on this DVD make it a worthy view for fans of the film.

	Hollow Man Movie Review
		It a was a feckless, weak, dysfunctional, moronic, impracticable affair that barely aspired to elevate itself to the level of diluted tripe.
		As the "story" unfolds, he is shot, stabbed, hit in the head with a crow bar, doused in gas, burned alive, and thrown down a 100+ foot elevator shaft.
		Although he didn't find any of this to be particularly bothersome, a visible man having an equally bad day certainly wouldn't have fared as well.

		Satan bought Kevin Bacon's soul in exchange for a successful, big-budget release of "Hollow Man," a horrendous film that figures prominently in the Dark Lord's plan to throw humanity into the blazing ovens of eternal perdition.
		"Hollow Man" follows the exploits of a team of young scientists working on a top-secret government project to perfect a process for making a person invisible.
		"Hollow Man" wisely ignores all those pesky issues of any nuance or intelligence, and instead focuses on the all-important question of "How could a guy use invisibility to scam on chicks?" Dr. Cain turns his brilliant mind to furthering the science of fondling your unsuspecting co-workers and sexually assaulting your good-looking neighbors.

	Hollow Man (Site not responding. Last check: )
		That sort of biting sarcasm is evident in at least the first half of "Hollow Man." Once again, man's inappreciation for other species is demonstrated by the lack of compassion the scientists have for the lab animals.
		For at least a little while, "Hollow Man" bears a striking resemblance to the 1986 version of "The Fly." Both main characters are borderline mad scientists who are so wrapped up in their work that they don't know the first thing about maintaining a personal relationship.
		After an intense, disturbing, and thought-provoking buildup, "Hollow Man" falls apart, thanks to overused clichÈs, poor structure, and a rushed climax that feels like the filmmakers dug themselves into a hole.

	Hollow Man
		All are present and correct in Hollow Man, his latest low-brainer starring Kevin Bacon, Elisabeth Shue and Josh Brolin.
		Hollow Man is the type of trashy, throwaway cinema experience which makes Friday night at the flicks so appealing - it is as hollow as the central protagonist himself, but it is very entertaining, while being guilty of the usual Verhoeven excesses.
		That Hollow Man successfully manages to tip-toe the line between bad taste and gratuity, while remaining so enjoyable, is partly due to the relish with which Verheoven directs the proceedings.

		But this is a Paul Verhoeven film, and the sleazepin director of such open-crotch classics as Basic Instinct and the infamous Showgirls never lets a little credibility get in the way of his voyeuristic tendencies which, when you come right down to it, is all this film is about.
		Hollow Man features a string of hapless, C-list actors (among them Bacon, Elisabeth Shue, Josh Brolin, and Kim Dickens) in a grade-Z plot with a lot of special effects that, frankly, don't look much better than those used in the 1933 version of The Invisible Man.
		As a horror film, Hollow Man is unsophisticated and disturbing (in its intent, not its achievements) and not worth your time or your hard-earned dollars.

	Hollow Man
		"Hollow Man" is a dud, a failure, and the answer for 'why' is found in the credits: The director, in this case: Paul Verhoeven, who apparently believes he can force-feed moviegoers anything and they will swallow it whole.
		The premise of "Hollow Man" is well-known to those versed in the Claude Rains movies about the Invisible Man: A scientist, Sebastian Caine, (Kevin Bacon) discovers a formula for invisibility, tries it out theoretically, then injects himself with the formula, becomes invisible, and does things decidedly interesting.
		There is bad to "Hollow Man": The special effects, which are obviously meant to cover up the otherwise invisible plot.

	Radio Free Movie Review: Hollow Man (2000)
		Hollow Man is one of the best psychological thrillers of the year.
		Hollow Man is a successful experiment in special effects, but also presents a gripping story.
		It's what a good psychological thriller should be: claustrophobic, paranoid, and originating from the evil deeds of man. In a summer full of disappointments, it's a welcome reprise that is not to be missed.

		HOLLOW MAN barely explores any of these concepts and instead the Hollow Man uses his powers to spy on naked women, in true Paul Verhoeven fashion (Kevin Bacon spies on Hollywood body double performer, Rhona Mitra).
		HOLLOW MAN could be a sequel to STARSHIP TROOPERS in terms of soulless storytelling.
		HOLLOW MAN is classical Paul Verhoeven, but without some of the more positive traits that have made the director’s best films special (like ROBOBCOP and TOTAL RECALL).

		Given the basic premise of an invisible man, the options open to the storywriters are almost endless.
		In truth Hollow Man turns out to be a rather dull affair that relies almost entirely upon the merits of the special effects.
		Not that we want the DVD market to become flooded with shoddy titles, but Hollow Man is visually stunning and looks almost immaculate when viewed on DVD.

		A few seconds later, the upper half of the animal is violently ripped into pieces, with its insides graphically on display for the viewer to see.

	HOLLOW MAN/ ***
		"Hollow Man" is a reworking of the classic "Invisible Man" tale that allows Verhoeven to go wild.
		Here's a film that begins with biological jargon and ends with fireballs, blood splatters, and those nice reliable scenes in which the villain locks the hero in a room where the temperature will become fatal in a matter of minutes.
		The special effects are obvious, but nonetheless exciting -- showing an invisible man is not just a case of shooting empty space, because the screenplay gives Verhoeven and his crew ingenious opportunities to show off their visual imagination.

		In Hollow Man, director Paul Verhoeven has taken this principle one step further, by making his invisible man not just invisible, but also psychotic and murderous: driven insane by the scientific methods that gave him his power.
		The melancholy first cue, 'The Hollow Man', begins with various ominous electronic chords before switching to an impessive orchestral performance of the icy, undulating central theme.
		Whatever the case may be, Hollow Man is exactly that: a superficial film score with very little at its core.
