Lance Henriksen and The Day Lincoln Was Shot
Mood:  special
Topic: Neverending Story

 

 

 

 

Lance Henriksen has left "a mark" in history like no other portraying President Abraham Lincoln with such dignity and respect. And for a bit of trivia I believe a form of "the secret service" came after the assassination. When I was a child President Abraham Lincoln was one of my favorite presidents. The second was George Washington. I guess I am a rebel for the cause because I want movies like this especially for our children. By Lafemmenikita07

In the afternoon of Friday, April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln met with his cabinet and signed an executive order lifting the blockade of the South. That evening, he took his wife to see a new play, Our American Cousin, at Ford's Theatre in downtown Washington. While watching the comedy, he was shot and mortally wounded by John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Southern patriot. Lincoln died the next day -- the first U.S. President to be assassinated. One hundred and thirty-three years later, the events of April 14 remain a defining moment in American history." "Lincoln's assassination has been chronicled in numerous books and movies.

 

The TNT Original film THE DAY LINCOLN WAS SHOT is based on the best-seller of the same title, written by Jim Bishop. It is a different take on the assassination of our 16th President -- it chronicles the days and hours leading up to the assassination from the perspective of both Lincoln and his murderer, John Wilkes Booth. "I think people have the impression that John Wilkes Booth was a mad actor who, in a moment of insanity, killed the President simply because he had the opportunity," says director John Gray. "In truth, it started out as a kidnapping conspiracy with Booth and a band of conspirators, but then Richmond fell and Lee surrendered and the plan turned to murder." TNT's film tells the dramatic story of the conspiracy and its tragic turn." "Filming a movie based on recognizable historical figures always poses the challenge of casting actors who resemble their characters. Playing the role of the distinguished Abraham Lincoln in the TNT film is Lance Henriksen. "My initial reaction was sheer terror, because I have seen through my life, even as a youngster, romantic versions of this heroic figure and I found him hard to relate to," says Henriksen. "I didn't really 'find' Lincoln until I actually started doing the film." "When I saw Lance, it just clicked that was the face of Lincoln," says Gray. "We didn't want a grandfatherly Lincoln -- we wanted an edgy, tough-looking man who looked like he has grown up hard, as Lincoln. I think Lance really fit the bill." In preparation for his role, Henriksen read many of the President's speeches and also grew a beard like Lincoln's. "I felt this role was very risky -- if you fail at doing one of the most poignant men in all of history, you have really failed," says Henriksen."

"Playing the equally complex role of John Wilkes Booth is Rob Morrow.

"This script attracted me because it humanizes Booth," says Morrow. THE DAY LINCOLN WAS SHOT brings Booth to the forefront and shows what his motivations were. He was a very well-known actor and quite popular in his time. "This is a guy who really believed in his cause, and that is what is frightening. He was a rational man who was very well-liked, and yet he was capable of this act of horror," says Gray. "Booth didn't seem to be insane, which many people would like to believe," says Morrow. "He truly believed he was doing something noble -- his politics and his ego seemed to have been his motivating source." "Another interesting aspect of TNT's film is the relationship between Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. "The scenes between Lincoln and Mary are love scenes. Mary was a very troubled woman who expressed that love in strange and sometimes disturbing ways, but they were both very devoted to one another," says Gray. "The toughest thing about playing someone who actually lived is you are dependent on the reports of others. It's not like creating a fictional character where you are at total liberty, so I feel a sense of responsibility to the woman and to her family," says Donna Murphy, who portrays Mrs. Lincoln. "I read many biographies and collections of her letters, and I came away with mixed messages of who she really was. What I did gather and what I thought was appropriate to use for telling her story, is that she was a well-educated, very intelligent, very sensitive woman whose husband was everything to her."

 

 

 

 

"The production team re-created several historic locations, including the White House, war-torn Richmond, Virginia, and the infamous Ford's Theatre. "Our thought from the beginning was that what we didn't want was a sepia-toned image of this time, which is often a filmmaker's first choice when creating a historical drama," says Gray. "The reality of the time was that the streets were muddy, there was raw sewage everywhere and soot in the air. So we tried to give this picture a very cold, blue, dirty look." Gray looked to production designer Roy Smith to design the settings. A grandiose facade of the White House was created at the Millenium Studios lot in Virginia, and Ford's Theatre was created in a theatre in Richmond. "The facade of the boxes in the theater are as close as we could possibly get to the ones in Ford's Theatre," says Smith. "Millions of people visit Ford's Theatre and are familiar with what it looks like, and we were very conscience of that when re-creating the theatre scene." "My aim with this film was to make the definitive movie about the Lincoln assassination," says Gray. "I hope it will give people insight into what really happened and the events surrounding that day. And I hope that people who see the movie will come away understanding how someone like Booth could act out of patriotism or whatever misguided obsession, and the enormous cost of those selfish acts."

Lance was there several days hanging out with celebrities and fans. Females call Lance a "sweetheart" and men call him "cool" and/or "The Man".

Excerpt From Interview with Lance Henriksen and his Art by Josh Jabcuga, Squib Central @ www.moviepoopshoot.com:





" Josh Jabcuga: Who were some of your artistic influences?



"Lance Henriksen: Oh God, there’s so many. I mean, for different reasons, like, I mean, every.... You know what it really was, too? Most of the artists, like Picasso, of that era, you know, Picasso’s era, where you have Modigliani and all those guys in Paris in the 20s, that was a very radical era. And remember, my true youth was in the 60s, so we were radical too. You know, we had a lot of stuff going on. So all the contemporaries, they didn’t have heroes. We didn’t look at other artists and go, “That’s my hero.” We were trying to make ourselves the hero. “I wanna make my statement.” You know, so it’s a different thing. When I see the struggle in the artist, like Picasso even said, “The apples could be fifty times more beautiful, but all I see in them is the anxiety, the power of the anxiety.” And what I’m trying to get at is that art, like what I do on the tiles, or what somebody does in a painting, it’s meant to be used, to be taken, take that idea. Like I love (Edvard) Munche because he was so, he’s Scandinavian, and I understood that, you know, that Midsummer’s Night thing, where there’s no dark, you know, and it’s a crazy world and he’s got it. It’s right there; you can see it. And who doesn’t like him?"

Art is a form of communication that can speak to you if you open yourself to it and allow it. It reminds me of my favorite quote (author unknown) "If you do not understand my silence, then you will not understand my words." Artist including me use various forms to communicate; however, not necessarily the same all the time. That is why I enjoy original works of art and not "cookie cutter" things. Well "cookie cutters" have a place; however, not in this area. The amazing thing about my artistry is that I enjoy creating it and after that emotion is expereinced I enjoy giving it away. I do not understand the reasons behind a lot of things that I do. However, art of all various shapes, sounds, etc. is to be shared with the world. Artists are normally not selfish people. However, it is too bad that many works of art are no longer at museums where all can see but in private collections with no showings and lending of the work for a tour. By Lafemmenikita07

Luke Goss Provides Competition for Lance Henriksen's Fan at the Fangoria Horror Convention in Burbank in June 2006
Mood:  surprised
Topic: Fan Knows She is Alive!!!

An avid fan and admirer of Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen received an electric shock when hugged and kissed on the cheek for helping out with the long autograph line of fans waiting to get autographs from Luke Goss (Blade II), Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw II) and the related directors/writers.



Fan volunteer with the web handle of "Rather Tenacious" received a bear hug and kiss on the cheek for her assistance.
This surprising gesture by Luke Goss left Lance Henriken's Number #1 Fan, "Rather Tenacious", speechless and standing still for a few seconds and that doesn't happen very often. "Rather Tenacious" was already on "cloud nine" because she finally met Lance Henriksen and received a hand-over the shoulder respectable hug on Friday, June 2, 2006 and thought that was all she could handle. However, the grand finale by Luke Gross was "icing on the cake".


We at La Femme Nikita07 and associates inquired from fan -
"Rather Tenacious" whether she was going to stay the loyal fan to her number one Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen or had she been "swept off her feet" by Luke Goss and how does she feel after she has had time to think about what happened to her.

"Rather Tenacious" mentioned that people are so unique that comparisons are passe!!!!

She also mentioned that she still has a warm spot for the long time extraordinary works and achievements of Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen. In addition, "Rather Tenacious" mentioned that in european culture including the UK it is considered a sign of a well-mannered gentlemen to address a lady and/or women with a hug and a kiss on both sides of the face and that it is Americans that make such a big thing out of gestures like that. As far as Lance Henriksen, "Rather Tenacious" indicated that it would take more than one hug and one kiss on the cheek to "blow off" Lance Henriksen and that is not happening.
Lance is still "The Man", right baby!!!!! See ya when I see ya from "Rather Tenacious"

Interview with Lance Henriksen and his Art by Josh Jabcuga, Squib Central @ www.moviepoopshoot.com:

"As far as your artistic upbringing…was your family…?

Lance Henriksen: It’s very interesting you ask that ‘cause I didn’t go to college. I didn’t even go to high school. But my grandfather was really, he had like ten kids and he painted his whole life so I was always surrounded by art. And then when I was sixteen I left…I left home pretty young but I started painting murals and traveling, but it was all on guts alone. And over the years what happens is you…if you’re trying to be an artist you run into other people who are further along than you are, but they always are generous. I mean I’ve never met an artist that’s not generous. If he isn’t generous then he’s probably no good anyway. You know, because, the whole thing about art is unless you give it away, it dries up. Everything you put out there comes back to you tenfold. I mean there’s no doubt about it.

Josh Jabcuga: Who were some of your artistic influences?

Lance Henriksen: Oh God, there’s so many. I mean, for different reasons, like, I mean, every.... You know what it really was, too? Most of the artists, like Picasso, of that era, you know, Picasso’s era, where you have Modigliani and all those guys in Paris in the 20s, that was a very radical era. And remember, my true youth was in the 60s, so we were radical too. You know, we had a lot of stuff going on. So all the contemporaries, they didn’t have heroes. We didn’t look at other artists and go, “That’s my hero.” We were trying to make ourselves the hero. “I wanna make my statement.” You know, so it’s a different thing. When I see the struggle in the artist, like Picasso even said, “The apples could be fifty times more beautiful, but all I see in them is the anxiety, the power of the anxiety.” And what I’m trying to get at is that art, like what I do on the tiles, or what somebody does in a painting, it’s meant to be used, to be taken, take that idea. Like I love (Edvard) Munche because he was so, he’s Scandinavian, and I understood that, you know, that Midsummer’s Night thing, where there’s no dark, you know, and it’s a crazy world and he’s got it. It’s right there; you can see it. And who doesn’t like him?



There’s a lot of wonderful artists but as I got older, I love things like Giger’s work. I mean, an ironic thing has happened to me: all the arts have now come to movies. You have great sculptors, you have musicians, you have writers, all these incredible artists have come to the entertainment industry, and I’m surrounded by it all the time. So it has become more of a…sort of a way of life that you have to believe in the music that’s in you and try anything. Don’t be afraid to try anything.

Josh Jabcuga: What do you see when you look at your finished piece and what do you hope your fans and the critics will see?

Lance Henriksen: Really, you know, trying to make an artifact…an artifact for something that never really happened. You know, we made the movies, but this is a tangible artifact from that, like a step back from that. In other words, if you suddenly dug one of these up and said, “Oh my God, it’s an alien!” That feeling is kind of nice, and that we live with them. It’s meant to be like that.

Josh Jabcuga: Authentic.

Lance Henriksen: Yeah. Something authentic. Something more tangible than a glossy picture.

Josh Jabcuga: Have you spoken with Giger at all? Has he had any say in this project?

Lance Henriksen: I’ve had three opportunities to meet Giger. I met him, believe it or not, before I was an actor, in New York City. Uh, I wasn’t an actor, but he was having an exhibition there. And I walked in off the street. I just saw his paintings and walked in off the street. And there he was and I just said, “Man, these are…these are something. They’re different.” He was very generous and happy about it. But I gotta tell you, over the years now, to watch his development, this guy is an amazing artist.

Josh Jabcuga: He’s an icon himself.

Lance Henriksen: He sure is, yeah. But you only become an icon when you stay true to your sensitivities and act on them. It’s…you know, that’s the whole deal.

Josh Jabcuga: Do you listen to music while you’re creating your art? Do you have anything playing in the background?

Lance Henriksen: Yeah, I…you know, odd stuff. Like I like Indonesian, uh, you know, that bell music and their drums and all that stuff. I will listen to any kind of music as long as…it’s just meant to be an environment. I don’t listen to hard rock. I’m more into sounds than anything else.

Josh Jabcuga: Ambient?

Lance Henriksen: Yeah, but not like elevator music.

Josh Jabcuga: Right. Not Muzak.

Lance Henriksen: Right. But I do love, uh, I like African music, I mean I like really kinda esoteric, tribal stuff, ‘cause to me, I’m still looking for my…probably will ‘til the day I die, but I’m looking for sorta rights of manhood. What are we meant to do? How do I feel those feelings? I can’t go hunt a lion down with a spear, but I have the urge. And so that’s I think what art is about for me. It’s…I’m into acting because I’m not very fond of authority for its own sake. I love doing what I do because I don’t have to answer to an authority. Not even when I’m working. And I’m into the arts for almost rights of manhood kinda thing.

Josh Jabcuga: You mentioned how Giger was generous to you. Do you have any advice for up and coming artists?

Lance Henriksen: Sure.

Josh Jabcuga: What would you say to up and coming artists?

Lance Henriksen: I just think the most important thing is to work until you become obsessed and that’s where it all begins. Once you’re obsessed, once you know you’re obsessed, that’s when your work really is beginning. You’re gonna find your way once the obsession…you know that you’re obsessed. Nobody can lie about it. It is as haunting as…it puts you into such a state of longing as if it were a drug. And so that’s the answer.

Josh Jabcuga: Thank you so much. It’s really been an honor meeting you and having this opportunity to talk with you.

Lance Henriksen: Thank you Josh, for your interview.

Josh Jabcuga: It’s always great to meet artists like you.

Lance Henriksen: Thank you, buddy. Now I can have a cigarette. "(Both laugh.)

More Lance Henriksen as Daniel Wheeler:

"INTO THE WEST, from Executive Producer Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks Television,

The story of the opening of the American West is given epic treatment in Turner Network Television (TNT)'s 12-hour original limited series INTO THE WEST, produced by TNT in association with DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg. This dramatic tale of the adventurous exploration of the American wilderness, the clash of two cultures, the rush to riches in a new land and the building of a new civilization features a starring cast headed by Matthew Settle (U-571, Band of Brothers); Skeet Ulrich (Miracles, As Good as It Gets); Michael Spears (Dances with Wolves, TNT's Broken Chain); Tonantzin Carmelo (King Rikki, 187 Shadow Lane); George Leach (DreamKeeper, After the Harvest); and Zahn McClarnon (TNT's Crazy Horse and Cooperstown).

Currently shooting in Calgary and New Mexico, INTO THE WEST is slated to premiere on TNT in June 2005. Darryl Frank (Taken, Las Vegas) and Justin Falvey (Las Vegas), co-heads of DreamWorks Television, serve as co-executive producers, along with William Mastrosimone (Sinatra, The Burning Season), who also wrote the overall story for the series and the scripts for three of its installments. INTO THE WEST is produced by David A. Rosemont, executive producer of TNT's Purgatory and Emmy-winning Door to Door.

"INTO THE WEST is the most ambitious original production TNT has ever undertaken," said Michael Wright, senior vice president of original programming for TNT. "Producing something of this size and complexity would be impossible without the amazing talents and passionate hard work of those who are bringing it to life. We are fortunate to have some of the most talented people in the industry working on what we believe will be the television event of the year."

INTO THE WEST follows two multi-generational families, one settlers and the other Native American, each telling the dramatic stories of the development of the West from their distinct points of view. One family is the Wheeler clan, a Virginia family of wheelwrights making their trek westward. The other family is a plains Native American family hailing from the Lakota tribe. Throughout the series, the two families will experience the historical and cultural events that led to an epic clash of culture, often coming in contact with notable figures and events from the era.

From One Artist to Another Artist - Restless Moon

"Paulina's world is filled with magical creatures. This is a world that she, through her heart and the eye of her spirit, brings forth images as she sees and feels them. She draws and brushes them into our world with love and a breath of herself. Her images touch with their innocence, and are felt in our own. Having spent much of her time drawing from a very young age, Paulina finds solace in creating and sharing her own magical brew of whimsy.

Paulina was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada on January 19, 1970, and has always lived there until having moved to the New Orleans area in the fall of 2005 with her husband Kevin -- New Orleans is his homeland. She works consistently on her art in her home studio.

The Creative Fire: "The pool of my creativity is blended from all things real, fantastical, emotional, and spiritual, and it draws energy from everything around me. I never know when a new creation wants to be born, so I try to have a sketch book handy when I'm away from the drawing board."

Inspirations: "The moon, forests, thunderstorms, theatre, films, books, New Orleans, the mysterious ----- and the Divine."

Faeries: "Faeries and other mystical beings of nature remind us that we're all still children at heart, helping us rekindle lost or forgotten innocence, and perhaps even provoke a little playful, harmless mischief."

Art: "I'm in awe of the pure magic and exquisitely fine quality found in the classic works of Richard Doyle, Arthur Rackham, Richard Dadd, Charles Folkard, J. Anster Fitzgerald, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, John William Waterhouse, Edgar Degas, Gustav Klimt, Gustave Dor, Edward Gorey, Sumalith Wulfing, to name but a few."

Music: "It must be playing while I work. I play whatever suits my mood, whether it be Loreena McKennitt or Nine Inch Nails; jazz, classical, or ethereal. If it moves me, it'll be the soundtrack for the day, and fuel for my current work."

Books: "I love books! Lots and lots of books, often of the paranormal genre, or whichever delicious fairy tales I can get my paws on. Purrrrrrrrr."

Living in the New Orleans area: "I can garden in the middle of December! Who can complain about that? I love New Orleans, and love being here regardless of the damage to some of the areas after the hurricanes. I call this place my home as much as I do Canada. Can never get enough of the French Quarter and its courtyards."

I watched the movie "Antibody" recently and found it very entertaining. I enjoyed the plot. The movie starred Lance Henriksen with his co-star Robin Givens. Loyal fans and admirers of Lance Henriksen will not be disappointed. The movie is not considered "horror". If you are looking for horror choose another movie with Lance Henriksen. However, if you are looking for a movie with a scientific yet believable twist, I suggest this movie. It was enjoyable to watch Lance playing such an active role. By Lafemmenikita07

I remember seeing commercials for this made-for-TV movie on the Sci-Fi channel and really wanting to catch it.  Unfortunately, wanting to see it and remembering what night it’s on are two completely different things.  How different?  Think Martha Stewart and Mother Theresa.  Unfortunately, since I no longer watch the Sci-Fi channel nor officially support anything they do ever since they screwed over the cast, crew and fans of “Farscape” by canceling them at the last possible second, I never caught another viewing of “Antibody”.  Well, thank goodness for DVD releases because now I can watch it without giving the Sci-Fi Channel two hours of my viewing time.

Dr. Richard Gaynes (Lance Henriksen, “Mimic: Sentinel”) is a top-notch bomb defuser for the FBI, only he seems to have met his match when he orders the killing of a terrorist being held at the airport who happens to be holding the trigger.  As soon as the villain’s pulse stops, the bomb goes off.  Oops.  Guess who the scapegoat is?  A year later, Gaynes finds himself in Germany running his own security company.  Unfortunately, he can’t even seem to do that very well and another terrorist saunters right on in and attempts to hold the country hostage.

Yes, there’s another bomb, only this one is big enough to lay waste to everything for close to fifty miles and leave enough radioactive fallout to last a solid six years.  The catch?  The trigger is inside the terrorist and killing him will set it off.  It doesn’t take long before the terrorist is subdued (though kept alive) and Gaynes is brought in by some scientists for a desperate mission.  He’s about to be shrunk down, sent in with a team lead by Dr. Rachel Saverini (Robin Givens, “Boomerang”) in an experimental craft and forced to fend off the body’s defenses in order to locate the trigger and disarm it.  Whew!

One of the main attractions to watching this film is the special effects, which are pretty sweet in some sequences.  Unfortunately, it does not a successful movie make.  The saving grace here is Lance Henriksen.  Despite supporting roles in films like “Mangler 2”, Henriksen proves once again that the man can helm an average film and make it something a little extra special.  Even Givens does what she can despite being given stilted dialogue and a cast of supporting players who couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag.  Director Christian McIntire is smart enough to understand the material is so-so and instead lets his lead actors do what they do best; chew up the screen.  I can respect that!

First Look Home Entertainment has released “Antibody” in a very nice looking Full Screen transfer.  Since this was made-for-TV, I’m assuming this is the correct aspect ratio.  Video quality is quite nice and the audio matches.  Okay, I even liked the theme music.  It must have reminded me of something from the 80s.  As for extras, there’s a trailer.  Too bad McIntire didn’t do a commentary for this because I would have loved to have heard what it was like putting the project together.  It looks like the cast had a ton of fun.

“Antibody” is one of those rare films where it shouldn’t have worked, that the special effects were the only reason to watch it, but somehow you end up far more entertained than you have any right to be.  Okay, more than I had any right to be.  It was fun and I really enjoyed it, especially Henriksen.

 Another Review









"Antibody, one of the first UFO films I?ve seen in a while it seems like yesterday that they were making half the movies I ended up watching proves a pleasingly decent low-budget riff on 1966's Fantastic Voyage*. In that film, a medical team (including Stephen "The Oscar" Boyd, Raquel Welch and a typically squirrelly Donald Pleasance) are miniaturized and sent, via an equally wee sub, into the bloodstream of a defecting Russian scientist, following an assassination attempt. Their mission was to find and eradicate a potentially fatal blood clot. I am assuming the line in the film's trailer, included on the DVD, which has the announcer noting, "Now a group of scientists must make an incredible journey inside the human body," is meant to be winking allusion to the movie's predecessor. Here Lance Henriksen and Robin Givens lead a similarly miniaturized and equipped team who are also injected into a human body. Their mission is to search out and disarm a nano-detonator lodged in the body of a grievously wounded Russian terrorist. Should the man die before they do so, the detonator will trigger a massive nuclear blast that will kill millions and render much of Europe unlivable for years to come. We open with a rather nifty credit sequence featuring flashcuts of CGI animations of the human body and a nice, driving score. This is the kind of thing you like to see in these movies, a bit of style in those areas that don't require a lot of money to be effective. The film proper begins outside the Russian embassy in Washington, as FBI bomb expert Richard Haynes (Henriksen) arrives to disarm a bomb found in the building?s basement. After some stuff meant to establish his credentials as a Guy Who Knows What He's Doing, he looks over the device until interrupted by a phone call. An armed Russian national has been cornered in the airport, and is waving around both a gun and what appears to be a detonator. Haynes gives the order to have the man shot down. However, this event appears to trigger the bomb, which kills a number of police officers and destroys the embassy building.

It's eventually determined that the man at the airport had been implanted with a nano-sized detonator, one that was designed to trigger the bomb when he died. Given the spectacular nature of the results, an official scapegoat is required. Haynes quickly finds himself out of work. A year later, Haynes is living in Germany, heading up a successful high-tech security firm. He's providing the security for a conference on nano-technology that's drawing several of the world's most important scientists, as well as the German Chancellor. Unfortunately, Russian terrorists infiltrate the conference and kill several attendees. The rest are held as hostages. (I couldn't quite follow what their cause was. The group is described as "right-wing" of course and the head terrorist at one point starts ranting about a "New World Order," but their actual motives remains tenuous at best.) After publicly offing the German Chancellor, the head terrorist warns that he too sports a nano-detonator, one that will destroy Munich should he die. In the end, the authorities risk a raid, but the head terrorist ends up being shot by one of his own men. It's determined that the wounds will undoubtedly prove fatal, and in short order. Luckily, nano-expert Dr. Theodore Birhill has been heading up a secret project on miniaturizing people down to a microscopic size. With time against them, he shrinks Gaynes and a small team headed up by scientist Dr. Rachel Saverini (Robin Givens!) and injects them into the body to find and disarm the detonator. However, the team is not only against the clock, but must survive the human body?s defensive mechanisms, including the blob-like "whites," or white blood cells. In the end, Antibody is most interesting (admittedly, to an extraordinarily narrow segment of the public) as evidence that that the folks at UFO are gradually getting a handle on this movie thing. The most obvious advantage the film possesses is the presence of Lance Henriksen as its leading man. While I still tend to wince at seeing such a fine actor reduced to taking parts in DTV junk like this, at least the picture gives him a decent showcase. Too often he appears in near-cameo roles in even cheaper productions, and usually, of course, as a villain.

Henriksen is an interesting actor. Unlike many of his B-movie star peers and predecessors, he's not prone to hamming it up. Instead, he remains a minimalist actor, but one who manages to project a very credible intelligence and authority even in patently ridiculous circumstances. Given the script deficiencies generally inherent in these productions, such an actor is downright invaluable. The rest of the cast ranges from adequate to awful. Robin Givens fails to embarrass herself as the de riouger beauteous scientist, but doesn't exactly set the screen afire either. (Of course, given the kind of shooting schedules these things tend to have, you wouldn't really expect her to.) Some might find her character's ready acceptance of the markedly older Henriksen as a romantic partner problematic. However, since he makes every other male in the cast look positively lifeless in comparison, I had no difficulty in this department. UFO vet William Zabke, star of Python and Python II, is a solid actor relagated to a truly pointless supporting role. He's also victimized by his inability to provide in any halfway convincing fashion the German accent his part requires. If I hadn't seen him in other movies, I probably wouldn't have suspected him of being capable of better work. At the lowest end of the spectrum, meanwhile, is the Romanian actor who plays the lead terrorist. One assumes he received a bonus every time he bugged his eyes out for Eeee-vil emphasis. It's no doubt for the best that he doesn?t have any face-to-face time with Henriksen, whose traditionally expert underplaying would have made the guy's performance look even more ludicrous. The physical production is comparatively impressive. There are still times when one become aware of the fact that the actors are on some rather economical sets' the elevator whose low door forces the actors to bend down in order to enter and exit it being an example?but on the whole these are at least good enough that they don?t draw attention to themselves. The most prominent sign of a higher budget, at least by UFO standards, is the generous amount of CGI. Unsurprisingly, all the action inside the body is computer animated, and it's actually pretty decent. It was probably an advantage that the entire sequences were animated, rather than involving CGI effects placed into and purportedly interacting with real-life settings and actors, as in the studio's myriad giant animal pictures.

The script is a hit-and-miss affair, although a bit more lively than those of many earlier UFO efforts. Again, though, it's immeasurably helped by Henriksen, who manages to make the material seem less dubious than it actually is. Also, when the film isn't given to lame repartee and one-liners, it can occasionally be affecting. Right on schedule, for instance, one of the mini-sub characters makes the ultimate sacrifice to save the others. I won't say I burst into tears of grief over said demise, but the scene worked better than I had been expecting. I also really, really liked the fact that none of the good guy characters turned out to be gasp, shock a terrorist mole. This kind of extraneous bad-guyism is depressingly standard in these films, and indeed, occurred in Fantastic Voyage. I admit to spending the entire film tensing for such a revelation, and appreciated being wrong in this instance. UFO so far has been best known for their presumably successful series of giant killer animal/reptile/bug movies. Therefore it's probably not much of a surprise that the micro-nauts finds themselves besieged not only by the protoplasmic white blood cells, but also by microscopic but comparatively gigantic blood-sucking mites. Such a beastie is featured on the DVD box art, apparently in an effort to attract the company's normal consumers. On the whole, however, the screenplay evinces the problematic qualities of most of the studio's fare. One can't really complain about the ridiculousness of the film's central concept, because if it bothers you that much you wouldn't be watching the film. Perhaps wisely, the script quickly glosses over the science behind the smallifying process. However, it's so brusque in this regard that it's somewhat comical. In fact, they entirely skip over Dr. Bickell's explaining the miniaturization thing to Gaynes. Instead, we come in at the end as he rather vaguely notes, "It was always a simple matter of molecular compression. Once I cracked the formula, the practical application was a fairly simple matter." The physical action stuff is both poorly written and clumsily staged. It's obvious, for instance, that were to view Gaynes as a highly competent professional. Despite this, the terrorists get into the conference, the one supposedly secured by Gaynes' highly elite firm, by dressing themselves as caterers and proceeding directly to the facility's kitchen. Needless to say, this doesn't exactly burnish our Hero's credentials as a savvy operator.

Later, much time before the raid is spent warning that the head terrorist will try to kill himself and hence set off the bomb at the first sign of trouble. The attack then commences, and the guy is caught unharmed (at least at first), but only after he would have been able to kill himself a dozen times over. If you look closely, you can actually see him holding his pistol to his head for a good thirty seconds or more before they manage to disarm him. One bit that kept throwing me was that, after the terrorists detailed the nuclear bomb thing and slaughtered the German Chancellor on television, they kept arguing over whether the public at large should be informed of the situation and evacuated. Even given the counterintuitive paucity of reporters on hand at the conference, and even if the TV report for some reason hadn't gone out live, the idea that all this could be kept from the public remained farcical. Even so, no doubt the biggest groan the film evokes occurs during the climax. Despite going into near-death cardiac arrest about three times during the proceedings, at the end the terrorist magically revives enough to grab a weapon and threaten the cast. (Oops, sorry.) Presumably the filmmakers thought it would be anti-climatic to just let the guy die from his wounds, but his sudden resurrection is more than a little risible. Despite a fairly short running time of about ninety minutes, and generally solid pacing, the script also tends to introduce characters who really don't have much relevance to the plot. Otto really doesn't serve much purpose here and neither does Gaynes' daughter. The most egregiously pointless character, however, is one of your standard Venal Reporters. She's introduced as having unfairly maligned Gaynes following the Washington bombing, has a rather prominent amount of screentime during the hostage situation, and then disappears. I realize they needed to drag things out until they got to the miniaturization stuff, but they probably could have handled this aspect better. If I were able to correct one common trait of the studio's product, it would be to outlaw the attempts at "Hasta La Vista"-type one-liners the characters inevitably spout following what should be solemn moments of horror and/or violence. I realize this has been standard action movie material since the 80s, but it's also something that should have been retired long ago. The film shoots itself in the foot when it goes out of its way to remind you that you're watching a movie, which is the primary effect of the tiresomely witless quips.

By the way, a nod of Jabootu's horns to Marty McKee for pointing this one out to me. Marty is well known to the more hardcore B-movie buffs as a moderator for the invaluable Mobius Home Video Forum, an Internet discussion board covering genre films in all their varieties, with an emphasis on their appearances on DVD and video. This is an essential resource for any self-respecting fan of cult movies, and you should really check it out if you haven't before.

Summary: Better than average DTV fare."

Topic: Volunteerism
Fangoria Entertainment Fangoria and Lance Henriksen
I just heard this past week that I was accepted by Creation Entertainment as a volunteer for their conventions. I plan on working on June 2, 2006 though June 4, 2006 at the Fangoria Horror Convention to be held in Burbank, CA. I am really jazzed! By Lafemmenikita07

Magical

I do not know where I am going to be used. However, it does not matter. Creation Entertainment has these conventions in various States. I have been working as a volunteer for various organizations for approximately 20 years. The experiences you can obtain are invaluable!!!! Therefore, "volunteerism " is something you may want to consider. If anyone has any tips such as "do's and don'ts" please share them. My volunteer experience has been with the 1984 Olympics, police department, a music production company, volunteer income tax services, etc., and now the fire department as a member of the Community Emergency Rescue Team (CERT).

Lance Henriksen Should Consider Teaching
Mood:  special
Topic: Professor Lance Henriksen
I wish Lance Henriksen gave acting lessons including voiceover or opened an acting school. Anybody that does voiceover work for one of Disney's more timeless characters, Tarzan, rocks. However, Lance is pretty business. Lance Henriksen worked on at least 5 movies last year, attended conventions, and other related ventures. Lance Henriksen enjoys working. Remember Lance Henriksen's quote (paraphrased): How can someone consider themselves an actor if they are not acting. You gotta work. This is not the exact quote. However, I think you get my point. You know Lance Henriksen also does pottery and related items. Lance has had multiple decades perfecting and creating his works of art and it shows. By Lafemmenikita07
