Shanghai Knights (2003)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Shanghai Knights has fireworks that cover most of the final act of action sequences in colored strobe lights. A machine gun is used in two scenes, both with plenty of warning that it is about to happen, and both safe to watch again as soon as the sound of the gun stops. Multiple scenes show close-ups of flickering flames, with the opening credits lit exclusively by these flames.

The climax of the film involves peril at extreme heights. All of the camera work in this film is either stationary or very smooth.

Flashing Lights: 7/10. Motion Sickness: 2/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: There is some mild cultural insensitivity. A man gags on his food when he learns what it is.

Misery

Taking off de Milos Forman en 1971. Reviens, Jimmy Dean, Reviens, avec Cher 1982, Le lendemain du crime avec Jane Fonda 1986, Dick Tracy 1990 avec Madonna. Mais c’est dans le rôle d’une psychopathe qu’elle va se faire connaître du public, en incarnant l’héroïne de Misery de Rob Reiner, adaptation du roman de Stephen King 1991. Ce rôle de vieille fille qui séquestre un écrivain lui vaut un Oscar. Elle jouera aussi en 1995 dans une autre adaptation de l’écrivain dans le rôle titre de Dolorès Claiborne de Taylor Hackford. Pour ne pas s’enfermer dans un seul genre, la même année que Misery, on peut la voir dans le joli film Beignets de tomates vertes où elle est nommée pour les Golden Globes. On peut la retrouver dans Diabolique avec Isabelle Adjani et Sharon Stone en 1996, Primary Colors de Mike Nichols en 1998, Titanic 1997 de James Cameron. Kathy s’essaie aussi à la réalisation en tournant des épisodes de Six Feet Under, série dans laquelle elle a un rôle récurrent et elle apporte sa contribution à la série Oz et NYPD Blues. En 2002 on peut la voir avec Jack Nicholson dans Monsieur Schmidt, elle rejoint en 2004 le casting du Tour du monde en 80 jours et dans plusieurs comédies romantiques teenages telles que Les ex de mon mec 2005, Playboy 2006. Elle prête sa voix dans différents films d’animation en 2007 comme Le petit monde de Charlotte, A la croisée des mondes, la Boussole d’or et Bee movie. Elle partage aussi l’affiche de Frère Noël aux côtés de Vince Vaughn et Paul Giamatti où elle interprète la mère Noël dans une comédie de David Dobkin avant de rejoindre le casting du romantique P.S. I love you, avec Hilary Swank. Kathy ne s'arrête jamais de tourner et on la retrouve dans des films de genres variés: elle est au casting du film de SF Le jour où la terre s'arrêta et enchaîne avec le drame Les noces rebelles aux côtés de Kate Winslet et Leonardo DiCaprio.
