REVIEW: Even 4 Dimensions Can't Redeem Spy Kids: All the Time in the World

The idea that Machete, Robert Rodriguez’s grindhouse tribute, was inspired in part by his Spy Kids trilogy of the early aughts is an appealing one. Danny Trejo played a kid’s idea of a bad guy named Machete in the films, then helped carry a genre mutation of the character over into bloody B-movie territory. So it seems fitting that Rodriguez was inspired in turn, on the set of Machete, to reanimate his Spy Kids franchise. It might even bode well. But the germ of the idea — Machete star and new mom Jessica Alba wrestling with an exploding diaper in full costume — is little transformed in Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, despite two added dimensions and a brand new cast. Alba plays Marissa, a secret spy who is nine months pregnant and prepared to give up her work once she gives birth. Marissa is married to a widower named Wilbur (Joel McHale), a television reporter attempting to reinvent himself as a spy-hunter to land a prime time show. Wilbur’s two children, twins Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), are unimpressed with Marissa, whom Rebecca marks as an especial target for her humiliating pranks. Wedged into this set-up is plenty of talk about time and the ways parents waste it worried about the past or working toward the future as their precious children grow up at lightning speed. “If my show goes well,” Wilbur says, “I’ll have all the time in the world for my kids.” Imagine the prickly McHale settling on a phrasing for a line like that, or Alba’s pretty mouth shouting, “We can’t let Tick-Tock escape again!” and you have a fairly decent idea of how Spy Kids 4 goes down. What’s meant to be whimsical fun, like the “Aroma-scope” gimmick (on-screen cues are coordinated with a numbered postcard of different scratch ‘n sniff patches, all of which smell like Pez but some of which are supposed to smell much worse), feels forced, and the parts of the film that depend on clockwork pacing, like the plot and the action sequences, have the opposite problem. The rhythm is off, a predicament Rodriguez addresses with copious — nearly constant — excrement and evacuation humor, and sudden turns into wide-eyed sincerity. At stake, naturally, is the world — specifically the passage of time. The helium-voiced, largely disguised Tick-Tock is the minion of the Time Keeper (Jeremy Piven), a clock-headed villain vowing to stop time with his patented Armageddon device. Marissa is called out of retirement to help stop him, and in the process Rebecca and Cecil are endangered and then inducted into the OSS spy unit, where the original spy kids (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara) help train them in the art of old-fashioned comic-book battle. Scampering behind is Argonaut, an electric dog voiced by Ricky Gervais who gets most of the film’s laughs and coolest visual gags. A scene of Alba and Vega being smothered by discarded digital clock numbers is pretty cool, and the Armageddon device turns out to be the interior of an enormous, tool-and-dye clock with gears and arms that grind with deadly force. It’s a distinctly retro idea of representing time, appealing aesthetically but rather dull for a story in desperate need of a compelling organizing metaphor. The film is being released in both 2- and 3-D, and from what I could tell the 3-D version is still almost 50-50. What use is made of the technology is hardly worth the effort, unless you’ve always wanted to experience a cascade of cheesies in 3-D. Vega makes wistful reference to the seven-year shutdown of the government’s Spy Kids operation (the last franchise installment was released in 2003) due to budgetary cuts. “They were ahead of their time,” she adds. If Rodriguez’s mouthpiece is referring to a cultural trend toward the supernatural and/or technological empowerment of cloying kids with absentee parents, I would like to introduce her to a decade called the 1980s. If she’s really talking about the Spy Kids films, I’m afraid this new installment refutes that statement more fragrantly than I ever could.

New Tinker Tinker Clips At Big Screen

World firsts from Alfredson's thrillerThere's more than a little excitement in these parts for a little spy thriller called Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, so its presence at Empire Presents.... Big Screen had us donning our espionage casual, gripping our bugging devices* and heading to its panel to watch some world-first footage from the film. Producer Robyn Slovo and screenwriter Peter Straughan were there to introduce three new clips from the film. The first showed the influence of MI6's 'Control' (John Hurt) waning within the agency's HQ. Better known as 'the Circus', it's the setting for some heavyweight acting. Tight and claustrophobic, Hurt and Toby Jones' Percy Alleline slug it out verbally over Alleline's mysterious new 'Witchcraft' intel. The second gave our first look proper at Gary Oldman's Smiley, the character made famous on-screen by Alec Guinness in the 1979 BBC dramatisation. The soft lisp, inscrutable gaze and middle-age slouch disguise an iron will and cat-like intelligence. He's every bit as 'Smiley' as we were expecting: a pitch-perfect reinvention of a literary and screen icon. The scene saw Smiley send his trusted confederate Peter Guillam on what looks like a fool's errand to lift a key dossier from the Circus. It's a nerve-racking and beautifully designed sequence that just sings on the big screen. The third sequence from Tomas Alfredson's thriller flashed back to MI6 agent Ricky Tarr's time in Portugal, and the first revelation of a Soviet mole in the Circus. It's Tom Hardy's chance to shine. The vignette takes up most of an episode in the BBC's '70s adaptation of John le Carré's novel, and the movie looks like giving equal weight to Tarr's pivotal back story. Straughan confirmed that. We had to merge a few characters, explained the screenwriter, but otherwise it's nearly all there. Interestingly, Slovo revealed that it was Alfredson himself who hunted down the directorial gig. Tomas actually came to us, she revealed. He'd heard that we were doing it and put himself forward for it. If you haven't laid eyes on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy's terrific teaser and equally heavyweight trailer, now's the time. This fantastic-looking spy business will be arriving in UK cinemas on September 16. Circle the date on a piece of paper, then swallow it. *Not literally, legal types

CBS Wins Dismissal of Key Part of 'NCIS' Spinoff Lawsuit (Exclusive)

Giulio Marcocchi/Getty Images CBS Studios has successfully knocked out a key claim in the high-profile breach-of-contract lawsuit brought by JAG and NCIS creator Donald Bellisario over profits from the spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles. In a ruling issued Aug. 4 and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gregory Alarcon dismisses with prejudice (meaning the claim can't be re-filed) a portion of the lawsuit relating to Bellisario's 2002 deal with CBS that covered his services on NCIS, the top-rated drama that immediately predated NCIS: Los Angeles. As you'll recall, Bellisario, 75, the fiery ex-Marine turned TV writer-producer who created JAG and its spinoff NCIS, sued CBS in April claiming he was denied the "first opportunity" to work on NCIS: LA or receive millions of dollars in payments from the hit spinoff. Bellisario's lawsuit claims that his three separate deals with CBS Studios and its predecessor Paramount Television-signed in 1992, 2002 and 2006, respectively-give Bellisario the right to participate in a future spinoff or sequel, despite his being fired from NCIS in 2007. CBS then filed a demurrer (a motion to dismiss parts of the lawsuit), arguing that Bellisario's contracts only allowed him to be paid on JAG and NCIS, and that he had long been off the show when the decision to spin off the Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J characters into NCIS: LA was made. Lawyers for CBS and Bellisario were in court June 29 arguing such esoteric topics as the nature of a spinoff and whether the fictional universe of a TV show can be considered a "character" for the purpose of contract interpretation. But judge Alarcon doesn't discuss the ultimate merits of the case in his nine-page ruling on the motion to dismiss. Instead, he dismisses the claim on the 2002 deal because it wasn't filed in time. Bellisario's 2002 deal included an 18-month statute of limitations on bringing a lawsuit. CBS announced at its upfront presentation in May 2009 that NCIS: Los Angeles would be launching that fall."Any reasonable person with [Bellisario's] experience in the entertainment industry should have been alerted to the possibility that NCIS: LA could be a spin-off of NCIS and that [Bellisario] had not been offered his 'first opportunity' rights under the 2002 agreement," the judge writes. So his cause of action under the 2002 deal arose in May 2009 and was extinguished in November 2010, well before he filed suit in April. It's not a total win for CBS. The judge is allowing big chunks of Bellisario's case to proceed, including his theory that NCIS: LA might be a spin-off of JAG under the 1992 deal because it takes place in the same fictional military-justice world that Bellisario created for that show. The lawsuit goes into much detail about how in the television business, as seen with the Law & Order and CSI franchises, multiple shows can grow out of one universe, and the setting for a show can become a "character" itself. "Via allegations of industry custom and usage, [Bellisario] has highlighted a latent ambiguity in the definition of the terms 'spin-off' and 'character' in the 1992 agreement and has sufficiently pled alternative definitions of the terms," the judge rules, allowing Bellisario to pursue breach of contract claims based on the 1992 deal for JAG. The court also refuses to dismiss claims under the 2006 agreement because Bellisario has successfully pleaded that the term "sole written-by credit" can mean different things in the entertainment business. That claim applies to whether Bellisario wrote the NCIS pilot himself , which is important in determining whether he is entitled to rights in the spinoff. We've reached out to CBS and Bellisario attorneys for comment and will update with any reaction to the ruling. Email: Matthew.Belloni@thr.com Twitter: @THRMattBelloni NCIS NCIS: Los Angeles
