Posted by: Dean Kish • January 10, 2003 @ 11:59am
From the mind of Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman comes Nicolas Cage starring as twin brothers who are struggling with emotional as well as literary turmoils. It's funny, creative, and showcases good performances. Sign me up!
Charlie Kaufman (Cage) is burnt out. He constantly strives for perfection in his work but often is completely unaware of the world around him.

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.

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.
