天才反击

　　Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies Im Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, its really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professors prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.


　　This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but theres so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).


　　Its also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And theres Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, whats there to be embarrassed about?

1080p外挂中字 前面不顺畅最后爆米花还好，方基默太帅，但另外一个男主太丑

在教授家看的，她说她一年看四次这个电影。已经看了40遍了哈哈哈

美国商业片啊，阿宅也必须娶一个美女才算人生圆满。方基默有点偏男二号，发挥余地不够。结尾太棒了；可惜剪的碎了。

找了整整一个礼拜才找到的电影当然要给五星！25岁的Val Kilmer当然要给五星！brain is new sexy当然要给五星！我真的是太爱nerd和weirdo了！！！
