http://www.filmchannel1.com/hotshots/... HOLLYWOODLAND is one of two films being released close together, both of which are claiming to be based on "Hollywood's most notorious unsolved mystery," but they are not about the same event. This one is about the death on June 16, 1959, of George Reeves, a minor actor in Hollywood who became hugely popular in the Fifties as Superman on television. However, Reeves, played by Ben Affleck, was unhappy about being typecast as "The Man of Steel," and although officially called "a suicide," his death raised many questions. For example, when private investigator Louis Simo, played by Adrien Brody, views the body in the Los Angeles morgue and sees that it is covered in bruises, he says, "What'd he do? Beat himself up before he shot himself?" And when Simo examines the bedroom where the body was found and finds two bullet holes in the floor either overlooked or ignored by the police, he wonders how anyone could miss twice before shooting himself in the head. The story flips back and forth between Simo investigating what he believes to be a murder and scenes from earlier years after Reeves meets Toni Mannix, played by Diane Lane, and their open affair. Toni is married to Eddie Mannix, played by Bob Hoskins, who is an executive at MGM Studios, and the reason that she can have an open affair is that Mannix himself has a mistress he meets in public. After seeing this film and from what you already know about Hollywood, you might agree that the "greatest mystery" about Hollywood is why anyone would ever want to BE in that business in the first place. The flipping back and forth between scenes before and after the death of Reeves can be disconcerting, but the greatest distraction to me in this otherwise very good film is that Affleck acts badly both in the scenes in which he is portraying Reeves when Reeves is acting, and who was a bad actor, and in the scenes in which Affleck is just portraying Reeves in his normal life and shouldn't have been trying to act. HOLLYWOODLAND tells the intriguing story of the man who wasn't Superman but just played him on TV and who is played by a man who isn't George Reeves, but just plays him as Reeves acted on TV--badly.
