David Zucker has written and directed some of the biggest comedies of all time, including Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
1999's Analyze This did well at the box office, but it wasn't all that funny. Here we are three years later, and the sequel should also do well at the box office plus it's a lot funnier.
Analyze That features the same cast: Robert De Niro, Billy Crystal, and Lisa Kudrow, looking and acting like Teri Garr (and that's a very good thing).
In 1999, a little mob-comedy called Analyze This spawned a new look at mob bosses, their crew, and the life behind the scenes. Hot on the heels of the new HBO mafia-series The Sopranos, Analyze This paved new territory and gave comedian Billy Crystal his first hit since 1994's City Slickers 2.
After months of waiting in the wings for just the right moment to drop, the much anticipated (and much delayed) motion picture debut of controversial mega-star rapper, Eminem, finally makes its way into movie theaters this weekend. 8 Mile, directed by Academy Award-winner Curtis Hanson (Wonder Boys, L.A.

As a blackjack dealer, I can honestly tell you that the majority of the time, gambling does not pay. For every person that leaves my table up, 10-15 will leave down, and the person that left up will most likely lose his/her winnings the next day.
That being said, occasionally a gamble does pay off big time, and changes your life forever.
I was completely unsurprised that in the theatre where jackass: the movie (hereafter referred to as jackass) was shown, it reeked of weed. Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm a film snob, or maybe jackass is just stupid.
The movie is just like jackass the television show, which thank God I've never seen a complete episode of.
Abandon is a university campus thriller that follows the exploits of one Katie Burke (Katie Holmes) who is devotedly pushing her way through her financial thesis. Her thesis is her life and anything that seems to interfere with it drives Katie to the point of paranoia.
Katie Holmes and the guy from Law and Order (Benjamin Bratt).
Girl's rich, bohemian boyfriend (Charlie Hunnam) is lost. Is he dead?
We will find out. Probably by the end of the movie.
Spies, intrigue, amnesia and exotic European locales are the elements that make up the new spy thriller, The Bourne Identity. Matt Damon returns to lush locales he visited in The Talented Mr. Ripley to take a crack at the evolving Hollywood spy genre.
Matt Damon stars as author Robert Ludlum's super-spy Jason Bourne.
The Bourne Identity, starring Matt Damon as a spy who can't remember his name, has exactly what The Sum of All Fears and Bad Company are missing: quality. This film is very good, while the other two are crap.
Based on Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name, Damon brings the character to life in a movie that keeps moving forward all the time.
Ironically enough, as I sit down to write a movie review about a movie which features a protagonist who suffers from an acute case of amnesia, I find myself struggling to remember my own experience of viewing said film. Of course, I myself do not suffer from amnesia, and perhaps I am being somewhat cheeky when I speak of having trouble recalling last night's movie screening.
