X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)(aka X-Men 3: The Last Stand)d.Brett Ratner, 104 minutesFilm Plot SummaryThe film began with a flashback from 20 years earlier - two men stepped from a New York State-licensed car that pulled up outside the residence of Jean Grey""s (Haley Ramm as child, Famke Janssen as adult) parents in a quiet suburban neighborhood: they were former allies Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Eric Lensherr/Magneto (Ian McKellen).They took a mud-bath together, with the captured light of Tinkerbells in jars.They returned from their honeymoon to Shrek""s swamp abode, where the Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy) awaited them, claiming that he had taken care of their "love nest.[Note: The gangland slaying in the film was loosely based upon Chicago""s infamous St.Valentine""s Day Massacre on Feb, 14, 1929.] Only a few other cross-dressing comedies have come close to approximating the film""s daring hilarity:Tootsie (1982),La Cage Aux Folles (1978)andVictor/Victoria (1982).Gruver stressed that Kelly""s love for a Japanese girl would be his downfall, especially if he renounced his US citizenship, but his attempts to persuade Kelly rang hollow and turned insulting - with the use of a disgusting racial slur.There were many artful transitions from flashbacks of Mozart o Salieri’s priestly confessions - brought together in matching voice-over with perfectly-selected excerpts of Mozart""s classical music.
