Sometimes being in a service industry makes one wish for a tidier, saner career. During a cab ride to the party after a gallery show, the banter between Oscar Novak (Matthew Perry) and Amy Post (Neve Campbell) so freaks out the cabbie (Ho Chow), that he’s thinking there are better jobs for him to undertake. Compound that with mechanical failure—the taxi engine begins to smoke and while Oscar investigates, it blows up in his face—and he knows that there are safer jobs and it’ll be the first thing he does in the morning.

What happens when you finally find that you’re really good at something but that something is considered morally reprehensible in the eyes of many? Find another job? That’s not so easy when you’ve already been tainted. Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is the face and the voice of “Big Tobacco.” He’s tasked by the Colonel (Robert Duvall), tobacco’s grand poobah, to bribe the original Marlboro man, Lorne Lutch (Sam Elliott), into clamming up over his condemnation of tobacco as the cause of his lung cancer. Nick offers him a choice of either keeping the cash or giving it away publicly on news TV to selected charities and continuing his struggle. Not an easy choice for a dying man.

Nature vs. nurture. Is it your genes which determine what kind of person you’ll turn out to be? Or is it how and where you are raised that has the principal influence on how you end up? This argument usually shows up during discussion about serial killers or war criminals (who were on the losing side, of course). I’ve pondered this from time to time and the result is always inconclusive. Brothers Randolph (Ralph Bellamy) and Mortimer (Don Ameche) Duke chatter about it as well. Being slippery, sleazy and manipulative, they decide to forge a real example and bet a buck upon which would prove supreme. They choose Louis Winthorpe III ((Dan Aykroyd), who runs the Dukes’s company, who soon finds himself framed for theft, jailed for dealing drugs, turned out of his house, shunned by his friends and despised by his fiancée after the brothers hire a hooker, Ophelia (Jamie Lee Curtis), to speed his downfall. The other side is represented by Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy), a street hustler, who is given everything that Louis has lost. Woe betide the brothers when Louis and Billy Ray discover the Duke’s plan.

Sometimes you should just mind your own business. Frank Martin (Jason Statham) has a lucrative business transporting cargo from place to place. But he figures out that the cargo in his trunk is human and, against his better judgement, he gives her a drink which leads to her needing to pee which leads her attempted escape which leads to some cops discovering his secret which leads to her delivery with the cops stuffed in the trunk which leads to a second job for “Wall Street” (Matt Schulze) which leads to his car being bombed… What’s a guy to do?

I’ve always suspected a neighbour couple of being secret agents. But I’ve never found any proof. And honestly, I don’t know whether I’d want to find it for they may discover my prying. Who knows where or how I’d end up. So I keep my thoughts to myself and try to purge my paranoia. Now if my neighbours were Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is a sales representative for computer company, his wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and 14-year old daughter Dana (Eliza Dushku), I wouldn’t give them a second look. Even though Harry works for a secret US government agency that deals with nuclear terrorists and is on the trail of Salim Abu Aziz (Art Malik), the leader of a band of baddies who have their hands on ex-Soviet nuclear warheads. This, however, becomes a secondary problem for Harry who is convinced that his long-neglected wife has been carrying on an affair. Paranoia runs deep in the spy business too.

When testing someone’s fidelity, it seems to be worthwhile to realize the consequences of failure not just success. Alice Holbrook (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has cooked up a secret admirer for her husband Sam (Jimi Mistry) and he falls for it. Too bad, she isn’t the only admirer he has. When she discovers this she turns to his BFF as revenge and solace. Archie Gray (Dougray Scott) just happens to have the hots for her. Bad karma—this isn’t going to end well I suspect.

Blackmail has such malicious connotations. Persuasive bargaining is perhaps more appropriate. Keith Clark (David Boreanaz) beds three local lovelies until they discover, as his infant’s babysitters, that he has had his way with each. Teenage dudgeon is an alarming sight. Keira St-George (Caroline Dhavernas) proposes to her friends, Lisa MacDougall (Holly Lewis) and Glory Lorraine (Amanda Walsh) that they rotate duties and Keith finds he has little wiggle room to satisfy the girls.

Sometimes there is stuff worth knowing despite what others may think. Mary Gordano (Alicia Silverstone) works her way through the lock picking handbook. As her mom comes in, Mary slides it beneath a pillow. She is able to use this information to pick the detective’s door lock to score the carnival’s employee list.

Life always looks as if it has more possibilities with the kids who get into trouble, have all of the cash and can follow their libidos wherever it takes them. Cat Storm (Dominique Swain) wants a taste and finds that the consequences can be more than she can afford. She is so blinded by her new BFFs and their rudeness, cruelty, brazen behaviour and foolishness, that she can’t see that, when someone goes too far, they will turn on an outsider and it’s her turn.

A promise is a promise. It is easy to make one but it can be difficult to follow through. But this doesn’t phase Frank Martin (Jason Statham). He doesn’t make promises he doesn’t intend to keep. Despite crazed Russian doctors like Dimitri (Jason Flemyng) trying to infect him with a lethal virus, psychotic barely clad gun molls like Lola (Kate Nauta) who like to splatter people with her auto-mags and cranky misinformed FBI agents Like Stappleton (Keith David) who doesn’t listen, the promise to the kidnapped Jack Billings (Hunter Clary) that no harm would come to him is one he’ll endeavour to keep.

Sometimes what you think you should expect from someone can be antithetical to what they can exhibit. (i.e. people often have hidden depths). Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is a meek water scientist who wants to be a CSA field agent. Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) is a well-meaning but awkward New York City limo driver with a willingness to assume the role of his superspy boss. When the bad guys find them on the roof doing surveillance, Del takes out some of the bad guys while Jimmy shambles about pummeling them into next week.

Memory is about all we have to distinguish us from everybody else. We could all look like an androgynous Arnold Schwarzenegger but it would be our memories which would forge us into the persons we are. So the implant of false memories even for something as trivial as a fake holiday like they do at Rekall can cause some consternation if it isn’t done properly. This happened to Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and it really plays havoc with his personality and his life. You see it was fake to begin with so that friends aren’t really and his wife Lori (Sharon Stone) isn’t. At least she is honest with him, explaining that what’s there now is only two months old after trying to kick him into next week.

During my boyhood, cowboys and Indians were all the rage. TV was festooned with westerns. I remember pretending to be one or the other day in and day out. So when a movie like Tombstone comes along, it wasn’t long before I bought a DVD copy to see if the memories held. It did. When Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) sets off for the showdown, not knowing Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) beats him there. Doc confronts a surprised Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn) but Ringo is nervous and tells Doc that he doesn’t want to fight. But being a black hat, Ringo’s nature gets the better of him and he accepts. The classic image of two men staring each other down as they circle leads to both men reaching for their pistols. Doc gets the first shot off, hitting Ringo in the head and killing him. Yep, I’m six-years-old again.

I came across this movie in one of those bargain bins. You know the kind where you can buy two and get three for a buck. I don’t think they were cut-outs. Maybe they were a dumped to make room for smothering else. It didn’t matter much to me once I saw Sybil Danning above the title. I picked it up and clasped it to my chest with all the anticipation of a 15-year-old. Like many lads, Sybil Danning just has to stand there with her feet spread apart a foot or so with her fists on her hips and smoulder. I was under her sway. She could have her way with me and I’d smile and smile and smile. Sadly for me, it has yet to happen but one can dream. As for the movie, I’m having some trouble remembering.

Having a sibling is always a great source of amusement. One can do just about anything reasonable and be forgiven. But strains can show at the oddest times. George Wade (Hugh Grant) is a slacker. He’s unwilling to take the family business seriously and chooses to hire his lawyer models who graduate from caribbean law schools. Howard Wade (David Haig) is getting fed up and he wants George to get his act together George, in an act of brotherly retribution, pays him back for this dressing down by flushing the toilet while Howard is in the shower. I still chortle every time I see this. But then I’m a softie when it comes to fart jokes. Sigh…

I’ve has bosses who want results, no if, ands or buts. Just do it and don’t bother me with details. So I gave them results, albeit fabricated results but they never figured it out. Why would they? They didn’t care. They were pressured from above just like me. But mine didn’t have any impact on people’s lives, no losses for anyone came about. It was about filling out bureaucratic paperwork.

Andrew Osnard (Pierce Brosnan) is in the same boat as my boss. Except he’s a British spy in Panama and he picks Harry Pendel (Geoffrey Rush), an supercilious tailor serving the Panamanian elite. Harry claims to be a transplant from Britain’s renowned Saville Row, but he is really an ex-con who served five years in prison for an insurance scam and up to his nose in debt. Osnard will pay for information Harry has gathered from his upscale clientele. When he has run out of info, Harry starts concocting tidbits to keep the cash coming but makes the mistake of getting too grandiose in his lies which include his wife, Louisa (Jamie Lee Curtis), an aide to the Canal director. All of a sudden, London and Washington are interested and Harry is sweating.

Jazz fans are a fevered lot. I’ve met a couple who travel the world to find particularly obscure recordings and hear their faves play live. Such musical dedication should be rewarded for it is keeping music alive and well. Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), who is from Krakozhia, an eastern bloc country that overthrown by rebels during his flight, finds that he now holds an invalid passport, leaving him stranded at JFK in New York. Unable to leave, one of his new airport friends, Amelia Warren (Catherine Zeta-Jones), learns the purpose of his visit is to collect an autograph of the jazz tenor saxophonist Benny Golson. His father had discovered the “Great Day in Harlem” photograph in a 1958 newspaper and vowed to collect autographs of all the 57 jazz musicians. He go all but one in 40 years.

I’m a sucker for production design and this movie has some of the best I’ve seen. The portions set in 1937 Los Angeles are remarkable for their style, tone and nuance. I keep popping it back into my DVD player just to enjoy. But I must admit I was taken aback seeing Vincent D’Onofrio as a blonde.

We all know that war is hell. The deprivation, the firing of guns, the taking of orders, the lack of proper sanitation. All contributes to making it at best uncomfortable. But then sometimes there are those who know how to make it a little less miserable. With two weeks to go before he retires, Major Archie Gates (George Clooney), a decorated Vietnam vet and special forces officer and his two buddies, Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg) and Staff Sgt. Chief Elgin (Ice Cube), discover a map retrieved from the butt of an Iraqi soldier which may lead to a Kuwaiti gold stash stolen by Saddam Hussein’s forces. Using the UV setting on his flashlight to discover the location, they decide to follow the trail and take some of it for themselves. You gotta love American technology.

To stay ahead of a new and improved Terminator android called the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), the newly modified good-guy T-800 android (Arnold Schwarzenegger) breaks Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) out of the asylum and, along with son John (Edward Furlong), flee to the desert and the camp of Enrique Salceda (Castulo Guerra) to get some of his underground weapons cache and cross over the border into Mexico. While prepping for the trip, John tries to explain to the T-800 emotions such as why people cry. It is hard to put into words those things we take for granted.
