David Zucker has written and directed some of the biggest comedies of all time, including Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
Not since Black Hawk Down has a war film been this harrowing or graphic. Windtalkers delivers.
Windtalkers takes place during the Pacific conflict of World War II. A battered, bruised and nearly deaf soldier named Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) is assigned to a new unit after the tragic ending of his last mission.
Say what you want about Jeremy Irons, but the man has been working in Hollywood for nearly 30 years and has built up an impressive resumé consisting of roles in both smaller more intimate projects and big action-packed blockbusters. He may not always give a consistent performance, but when he's on top of his game he can give a compelling performance on par with even the best actors.
When we last saw our two "heroes" â€" J.S. Lee and the lovely Kiery Drysdale â€" the dynamic duo had just finished doing battle with the atrocious "feminist" (ha ha), buddy gross-out comedy, and probably one of the worst movies of 2002 thus far, The Sweetest Thing.

However, sometimes this second nature is closed-minded.
Sometime during the course of human evolution there came to fruition the belief that the human male was largely influenced and motivated by his libido. A notion largely held by the female of the species, but one which has also made it's way into the realm of popular belief, and has become widely accepted by not only women, but men alike.
The creators of 40 Days and 40 Nights have turned San Francisco into a complete idiot's utopia where all the girls are easy and stupid, and all the guys are stupid and horny. It seems to be a pretty good arrangement for the citizens seeing as though their loins rule them all.
Despite any vain attempts you make to enter a film that you already know at least a little bit about with no prior expectations, inevitably there will be a preconception that will alter how the film affects you, and consequentially how much you enjoy the film.
I'm sure Meg Ryan is a really nice person. Okay, there's my disclaimer, now onto my review. A Meg Ryan movie about time travel... a Meg Ryan movie about time travel... a Meg Ryan movie about time travel.

I have trouble with movies that are three hours long - the Skittles never make it to the end, and unless you get the jumbo drink for eleven dollars, you get thirsty.
