Usual, bar-quality funky and tight Bruce Hornsby piano, smart writing, and catchy rhythms.  I'm at a loss to explain why he just never caught on in the wider market.  Absolutely fun to listen to.  A few slower tunes, which make you relax and think, and some great fun pieces.  "Gonna be some changes made" is a stellar song, almost timeless.  You go, Bruce.

Another great Shooting Star CD from a long list of great CD's that never really got any air play. Super vocals and fast moving beats, all songs should be classics hits and would be had they gotten the airplay they deserved .  I guess they didn't ante up to the right radio exec's

ok...this guy ruined his own movie by doing the lead,...and sporting an evil dead shirt in the film...(horror shirts and fangoria popping up in movies is a sure sign of a bad movie)...there is nothing scary about this guy at all ,...you know you could kick his ass!....he marches around in a leather jacket and boots,...ordering diet cokes...not funny....if this movie really did take ten years to get done he should not admit that,..he should lie and say he banged it out in 2 months...the actings terrible,...there is no blood or action to make up for the horrible acting,...and the evil angel in it ,or demon,...is just a joke..i attended the screening at the egyptian in LA also...and people were laughing at how bad it was,...if bruce cambell wasn't there i think he would have been dragged down hollywood boulevard by a raging mob pissed at this guy for wasting 90 minutes of there life..its so bad...i doubt bruce cambell will be working with mr.kalio again!....go back to your job at the comic book store mr. kalio...p.s....take a look at yourself in the mirror...your annoying just to look at nevermind starring in a film....and when i finish my movie i will send it to you,...and it won't take me 10 years!..This movie sucks don't waste your time!...craig mac...macenstien@hotmail.com

What a life. The guy could very well have gone in another direction and done StandUp Comedy.
In fact, if you look real close, he has a remarkable resemblance to....................Lenny Bruce!!

Saw him open for Jim Jefferies in June , and I almost feel sorry for the suckers that showed up late . Very funny and not like any other comedian out there - buy it and have some laughs .

The real talent of Don Rickles did not come through.  He is a very funny person with tremendous talent.  I expected the old Rickles with laugh out loud entertainment.  This was some what of a disappointment.

He sounded nothing like how he sounds in the commercials. He does really great voice alterings! I hope they incorporate this film into the commercials!

Bad script. I cant believe he took this roll. He is a great actor, but this was a horrible script to make your action flix day view.

First movie for this guy, lots of hard work, but bored me.  Glad I got a good price from amazon, would not have liked to pay heavy price I saw else where. Waiting to see his movie "Mirage Man."

I remember seeing the commercial for this movie and saying "I Have to see that". I finally got around to renting it and I was sooooooooo disappointed! These 2 women were so funny on SNL that I was expecting belly laugh after belly laugh. WRONG! The writers/directors should have taken advantage of the comedy duo and made the movie a real 'pee in your pants' flick. I waited and waited for the jokes but they rarely came. Go rent "The Hangover" if you want a GREAT comedy.

Have heard no feedback, although both requested for Xmas. I watch him rarely, so cannot ID with his character style and am not so worldly on news to be in staccato-step with his TV presentation. I applaud anyone who can constructively criticize the system.

Having watched most of his movies, they did a fine job of portraying the couple behind the man.  Too bad it didn't play better in the theaters.  I guess you had to have to be old enough to have enjoyed his work.

Antonio Banderas once again proves that he desperately needs to learn to speak English clearly (I haven't understood but a couple of words the man has said in any of his films - and I speak Spanish and English!) - get a diction teacher, man!  Further, Bob Hoskins is a fine actor, but come on Bob - you aren't this desperate for work are you?  Ellen Barkin is here looking just like what I've always thought of her: a tough broad, who should be serving truckers meals instead of acting.  And Wes Bentley - he was the reason I watched this dreck - I used to know him when he was a community theatre-acting kid with stars in his eyes.  He can't really be blamed for being in this (it was his first film)  - I mean look at the big names who were too!  Regardless, he is really quite miscast (obviously only for his quite naturally sinister looking eyes) and struggles to do much by the part.
I'm not really sure if there was a script.  I'm definitely sure that there never should have been.
You know when a movie is made in 1999 and released only in selected European and South African markets, then several years later finally released to cable and video that it must be terrible.  This film proves that contention correct.
I'm sure you can think of a better way to waste a couple hours of your life than bothering with this mess.  I wish I had.

In response to what jahandar jahanbeglou from weissernhorn Germany wrote ("who would pay 2 million $ for a relatively unknown so called star to just make a wisky advert ??"):
First of all, the character Bob played by Bill Murry is NOT an unknown actor - Bob is a very well known, famous and reputable actor. How could you not pick that up while watching the film? Second, MANY A-list Hollywood actors and celebrities go to Japan for short trips to film multi-million dollar commercials, which most people in America will never see nor know about, which is exactly what the actors intend.
The character Bob was very realistic and plausible. I think you just didn't quite understand the depiction of the characters, which makes sense considering you are a German watching a film about Americans in Japan.

Why is Eddie Cantor so obscure? He certainly has the talent to rank as one of the greatest. It is almost as if he was black listed, or else crushed someones top hat. He deserves more exposure, DVD release please!
