John Cusack is the reason to buy this movie
1 of 1 found this helpful This is another multiple star-laden movie...as Billy Crystal, John Cusack, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Julia Roberts, Hank Azaria, and Christopher Walken all combine to make an underrated and rather funny movie. As I mentioned in the title, Cusack steals the show as a supposedly deranged soon-to-be ex of Zeta-Jones, who plays the diva role to the hilt...they are Gwen and Eddie,
"America's Sweethearts", who starred in several movies but separated during the filming of their last film...Gwen then took up with her co-star Hector Gorgonzolas(an over the top and very funny Azaria), while Eddie tried to kill them both by driving his motorcycle through a restaurant window while Gwen and Hector were eating there...cut to the present, as the film they made is completed via the producer/director, Hal Weidemann(Walken in a small but important role)...the press junket is initiated by Lee Phillips(Crystal)...and Eddie comes to grips with some interesting feelings about Gwen's mousey but cute sister(Roberts in a wonderfully cool role)...as you watch, make sure you pay close attention to Cusack's portrayal...between Gwen and Eddie, you'll be surprised at whose character actually wins you over...no spoilers here...just get this movie if you can...sit back...and enjoy a romantic comedy that has the chops to make you laugh, although you may never allow a Doberman near you again after you watch it..."America's Sweethearts" is money well spent! One bit of trivia...Alan Arkin has a small part in the beginning as Eddie's spiritual guide/shrink...and if you remember, he and Cusack had the same movie relationship in "Grosse Pointe Blank"...another Cusack vehicle well worth the money...

Checking your brain at the door works well with this
0 of 1 found this helpful OK, where do I start? Like most party-themed movies, "Hot Dog" is light on plot and substance...but that is the gist of this thing. Farm kid Harlen Banks, competing in his first freestyle skiing event, picks up pretty girl, does pretty girl, proves he's a great skier, gets slaked by a very well put together Shannon Tweed (seeing her nude is almost enough reason to buy this thing), and ends leading his American buds against the European bad boy skiers in something called a ""Chinese Downhill"...as soon as the final scores are announced, you can figure out what's gonna happen, but the ride is mostly fun, with a few bumps here and there...and there's an interesting scene in a ski lift cab that any guy who's ever gone up in one dreams about...there are a lot of throwaway characters in this one, and it ain't for your kids to watch, that's for sure...but if you enjoy skiing, and like a movie that you don't have to think long and hard about but just enjoy, "Hot Dog" can fill the bill...but if you don't like gratuitous nudity, lightweight plots, actors who you might have trouble recognizing, or skiing...then you probably want to stay away from this one...although, I don't ski, and I found it entertaining and fun...

A blast from the '80s well worth the wait
I worked at a college radio station in the '80s when groups like U2, REM, and ABC were college rockers instead of Top 40 achievers...in other words, when they really gave a crap about their music...this album, "Beauty Stab", is a gem in the ABC catalog...clear crisp lyrics...solid music...this album shows the side of ABC that partially disappeared as the '80s moved on...make sure you pay attention to the song "Unzip"...especially the words, as ABC had probably the best lyric ever in that song...and you're gonna have to get "Beauty Stab" to hear it...it's well worth the money, and it was well worth the wait to get it!
