If you've ever worked in a restaurant, then you probably already know
that "Waiting..." was perhaps one of the best stress relievers for the
job. From the rude, dehumanizing customers, to the sick-minded
line-cooks, right down the melodramatic wait-staff, it covered all the
bases. And most importantly, it was hilarious front to back and was
good for many a repeat viewing. W...

Greetings again from the darkness. For some reason, I keep thinking
director Tony Scott will re-capture his magic of "Crimson Tide".
Instead, he thrives on being the center of attention, rather than
letting the story and characters unfold on screen. How he mangles the
great cat-and-mouse game of the original "Taking of Pelham One Two
Three" is pure torture to watch.In the origi...

As bad as this movie looked, I went into it with an open mind but as I
suspected it was pretty bad. The dialogue was the worst part by far; it
consists of some combination of mumbling and incoherent slang. The
acting is terrible despite Mr. Howard doing his best to try and act his
way out of the script. The narrative is scattered and clich...

It's a shame that most people probably will skip this film - because
it's a good holiday film with a good message behind it. While you have
films like Four Christmases out that are the same romcom you've seen 38
times in holiday format, Nothing Like The Holidays brings the audience
together as one for a good family experience.NLTH boasts a great ensemble cast that reall...

Actually for once I was disappointed after seeing a Renny Harlin movie
because I had high hopes for this one. Usually I've known in advance
his movies would be bad but "Cleaner" seemed that it might actually be
really good for a change. It's not really bad, but it isn't anything
great either.Samuel L. Jackson and Ed Harris did their job very well in the leading

best kill. - Random girls getting nude for no reason. - Ninjas. Just when you think this movie couldn't rock any harder, they

HARD LUCK with Wesley Snipes, Mario Van Peebbles and Cybill Shepherd.
Not bad but I think its a little late coming. It feels like it should
have been released at least six to seven years ago. It is part of the
post-Pulp Fiction style of movies of the last 12 years. It has that
Tarantino, DePalma, David Lynch feel to it at times that I think Van

I've seen countless teeny bopper comedies the past couple of years, and
I can honestly say, this wasn't one of them.This was a good, straight forward comedy, with some hilarious moments
and a lovable character. The story was also interesting, even though it
was very predictable from the beginning (I don't know many people who

My wife and I watched a copy of "Disappearances" this evening. We both
enjoyed it very much! We had both read the novel about a year ago and
so were familiar with the Mosher story. This very expansive and in some
ways too fanciful novel (the cloned abbot in the monastery comes to
mind) was very enjoyable, but we think Craven did a fine job of
translating it to the screen withou...

this movie had to go on my must see list. I would definitely recommend
it for all families - and the adults may be surprised how much they
enjoy it also. There is one scary scene for some young kids when the
filly breaks down early in the movie - but this scene is part of the
commercials that already have be...

I hated (HATED!) being a waitress, but this movie is so hilarious and
so ballsy that it almost makes me want to go back to the summer of 1999
to work one more shift at TGI Fridays. Waiting is the best, most
accurate, most honest, and most riotously funny movie ever made about
the service industry. Here's how I see it – the world is divided into

Where can I begin. I heard this movie was coming out and I was very
mad. I am a huge fan of the original Carlito's Way and when I heard
about this, I thought it would be just like almost all the other
sequels that come out in Hollywood. I thought it would be bad. Boy was
I wrong, this movie was much worse than I expected. Not saying all
sequels are bad, but thats the problem wi...

I saw this movie in the theater with my father and I have to say even
though Sandler can annoy me most of the time, this is one of his better
comedies. I think he owes that to Jack Nicholson's performance, since
Jack can carry a film so well he also makes the jokes into perfect cues
and great laughs. Adam does a good job as well, both actors worked very
well together and ac...

I saw this movie with my cousin at a nine o'clock showing on the first day

The best part was Bob Sagat screaming "there's sh*t everywhere", at the

could make this movie and throw feces all over the memory of the first

There's this rule in Hollywood that may be unwritten but is nonetheless
ironclad: stick to the formula. The hero can't die in a romantic
comedy. The drama can't be too funny, and the comedy can't be too sad.
Action flicks can't be too deep, and "serious" movies have to be
somewhat boring.On the rare occasions when some movie comes along that breaks these
rules, we usually get c...

I avoided watching this film for quite some time after its release. In part
this was because what little I knew about the story hit a little too close
to home in terms of substance abuse problems, and equally so because I'd
generally read negative reviews about how bleak, depressing and meandering
it was.Boy was I wrong. As it turns out this is a stylishly photographed,

men tunneling to the freedom of the Sea. Indeed, despite its wonderful

This is a wonderful experience. Never mind that the acting is poor and the
story weak --that was never the point. This film was made because DePalma
knows how to make his camera dance and wanted to make a film based on that
notion.A central question in most art concerns the role of the viewer. This
dominated easel painting, then was the center of evolution of the novel and
