	The Shape of Things - Rotten Tomatoes
		There are no surprises to be had in "The Shape of Things," which telegraphs its twist ending in its first ten minutes.
		There is also no real emotional investment for the viewer with the characters in “The Shape of Things,” with the exception of a charming and likable performance by Gretchen Mol.
		The Shape of Things is imperfect, but the flaws don't detract much from what is a singularly effective, grim perspective of contemporary romance.

	THE SHAPE OF THINGS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Shape of Things is much more like In the Company of Men and Your Friends and Neighbors, and that should make filmgoers happy, even if most of them will exit the theatre clutching their stomachs as if they were just sucker-punched by Nelson Muntz.
		Things, which is based on LaBute's play and features role reprisals by all four lead actors, is set at Mercy College on the coast of Southern California.
		Things seems a lot like LaBute's response to the Nancy-Boy critics and viewers who couldn't handle a deaf woman being the butt of the joke in his award-winning In the Company of Men.

	The Shape of Things (2003) - Page 2
		"The Shape of Things" is rated R for crude sexual talk and occasional use of strong sex-related profanity, simulated sex and sexual acts, brief drug use (marijuana), brief violence (a scuffle) and glimpses of nude artwork.
		The word "thing," with its many imprecise definitions, shows up often, and the title of the film is spoken twice, both times by the same character, but each time with a different meaning.
		The mechanism is the thing, not the people caught in it, and that lessens some of the film's impact.

	Amazon.ca: The Shape of Things to Come: Books: Maud Casey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		While reading Maud Casey's provocative, maddening and satiric debut novel, "The Shape of Things to Come," readers may well find themselves realizing that the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby is reborn in literature.
		The Shape of Things to Come is an often humorous, always thoughtful, coming-of-age (and reflective of coming-of-age) novel about a woman who, despite her efforts to the contrary, finds that she can get beyond destructive self-absorption and might even become a person with whom she can be content.
		As a resident of a town very similar to Standardsville, Illinois, I began Maud Casey's "The Shape of Things to Come"--set in a town with that fictional but evocative name--with both interest and trepidation.

	Top Box Office Movies - The Shape of Things
		The Shape of Things enthusiastically promises to get to the matter at hand, that is, to usher out the insensitive and incorrigible conduct of lost souls looking to enhance their lowly existence as sideline social misfits.
		“Shape” is rather slight as compared to LaBute’s earlier creative cruelty-based concoctions but it nevertheless is a twisted celebration in the bonding of misguided personalities feverishly searching for that elusive emotional completeness.
		As mentioned previously, The Shape of Things is not necessarily one of LaBute’s heavy-hitting acerbic profiles that delightfully lead us down the depraved driveway per se but it does convey the cynical spirit of presenting us with how complicated and comical the rigors of unconventional love can be sometimes.

	The Shape of Things
		LaBute is like Todd Solondz (and The Shape of Things is like Storytelling): once filmmakers celebrated for their excoriations of the hypocrisies of social interaction, they now address critics in simpering films with unsubtle monologues and fourth wall-breaking middle fingers.
		The Shape of Things is most fascinating as a statement not of the extent to which a woman can behave just like the men of LaBute's In the Company of Men, but as an auto-critical picture that leaves LaBute exposed as exactly Evelyn's breed of emotional bully and intellectual snob.
		The greatest failure of The Shape of Things is not its literary pretensions and glacial remove; rather, it's in the mad rush to justify its creator in a labyrinth of signs and signifiers, thus pulling back the curtain on him instead.

		In The Shape of Things, the close-cutting new film by Neil LaBute (In the Company of Men, Nurse Betty), a schlumpy grad student named Adam (Paul Rudd) meets an alluring art major named Evelyn (Rachel Weisz).
		We don't quite know how to read her, so we take her as perhaps a necessary grain of sand in the oyster, with Adam as the emerging pearl.
		Things are literally unveiled here, including a pair of middle fingers extended to the audience (yes, that means us as well as the audience in the film), like punk rock played at a chamber-music recital.

		Planting a kiss on their infant’s soft, downy head for the thousandth time, some parents may notice that their baby’s skull is not the typical round shape; it may be longer or flatter, or appear to bulge in one or more places.
		But if an abnormal shape persists, it could be a condition known as craniosynostosis, abnormal growth and development of the skull, which can require surgery.
		Children are at greater risk for the condition if they have certain congenital syndromes such as microcephaly (abnormally small head) or hydrocephalus (an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the skull).

		In this regard, The Shape Of Things is a "high concept" film, because it addresses a clearly defined philosophical problem.
		The best thing about The Shape of things is that after a little bit of time the film becomes unpredictable.
		The genius in the Shape of Things though lies within the belief that one thing is going on and then bam your hit with an unexpected ending and a nicely done performance from Rachel Weisz.

		Spending had run amok, the very success of E-business made it clear that it must be integrated into a company's primary IT systems, and IT investments came to be based less in terms of technological flash than on the same risk/reward criteria that shaped other capital outlays.
		True, the aura of glory that once surrounded technological potential has, to a large degree, given way to pragmatism.

		In this instance, he gathers up his nerve and asks for her number; as neither of them has a pen, she grabs his shabby corduroy jacket and spray-paints her number in it.
		Or rather, several, as The Shape of Things appears to lay out moral, political, and aesthetic options, embodied by characters but also refused by them (as much as these bits of text might refuse anything).
		But your choice is repeatedly shaped and reshaped, as you're faced with the film's manipulations (some unsubtle and others quite cunning), pointed observations, and high contrasts.

		These two thirty-something mid-level businessmen are fed up with their jobs and with women and decide to get their own sick-and-twisted revenge on all females by plotting to romance a vulnerable woman and then dump her viciously without explanation.
		Labute's second film, "Your Friends and Neighbors," continued the battle of the sexes, and now his new piece, "The Shape of Things," carries on this legacy of cruelty between men and women.
		"The Shape of Things" is a modern-day "Pygmalion," a sadistic "My Fair Lady" that explores relationships and the meaning of art.

		I have no doubt, from the detailed plot set up and seriousness of every actor involved, that "The Shape of Things to Come" was meant to be a film that would rival Lucas's "Star Wars" in the science fiction genre.
		If you're a fan of trash cinema, you can't do much better than "The Shape of Things to Come." This picture is a hilarious cult classic, a picture worthy of respect if for no other reason than that it illustrates how important "so good it's bad" films can be.
		Jack Palance, once again, is the evil villain, trying to force the moon colony (the Earth is a wasteland from the great robot wars) into making him their dictator because he controls the only supply of medicine that counters the effects of radiation (I didn't know that there was radiation on the moon).
