""My wink is binding," Bernie Brillstein writes in the middle part of his memoir of a career in showbiz. At this point the movie-star manager has already admitted that he wanted power and prestige as soon as he started in the William Morris agency mailroom. And that he chased after a Don Corleone-ish kind of respect afterward. But even when he became a clout-carrying manager and near-mogul he kept his people-first credo. You suspect he l ..."

""Beginning in the William Morris mail room in 1955, Bernie Brillstein wanted only three things: "to walk into a restaurant and have people know who I am...to be the guy who gets the phone calls and doesn't have to make the...to represent the one performer people must have." Throughout his long career at the top of the entertainment industry-as TV and movie producer, agent, and brilliant personal manager-Brillstein has accomplished it al ..."

"Wider alle Erwartungen führte dieses Oeuvre für den Hongkonger Action-Superstar Chow Yun-Fat nicht ganz zum wohlverdienten Durchbruch auf dem amerikanischen und europäischen Markt. Dennoch handelt es sich bei dieser Geschichte um einen unterhaltsamen Kommerzstreifen. Chow spielt einen Auftragskiller, der es nicht übers Herz bringt, einen Polizisten zu töten (weil er dessen Sohn nicht den Vater wegnehmen will) und schließlich selbst zur ..."
"Heavy-metal golf with Adam Sandler, a 1996 dry run of the wild-man-athlete formula that paid off so handsomely in The Waterboy. There are some irresistibly funny sequences, although you may hate yourself for laughing at the mean-spirited slapstick. This isn't a classic golf comedy, like the Bill Murray vehicle Caddyshack, but as a hot-tempered would- be hockey player who finds an unexpected métier as a power golfer, Sandler has a short ..."
"Wenn Sie glauben, um Jim Carreys Komödien zu mögen, müsse man erst langsam einen Geschmack für sie entwickeln, stellen Sie sich seinen Film Cable Guy - Die Nervensäge als eine Flasche bittersüßen Wein vor. Der Film hat einen bleibenden Nachgeschmack, aber dieser Geschmack fällt ein wenig zu düster und extrem aus, als dass man eine zweite Flasche bestellen möchte. Auf der anderen Seite muss man Jim Carrey zugestehen, dass er mit dieser s ..."

Brillstein also reveals the inner workings of The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, and other films."
"Yogi Bear began as a secondary character on The Huckleberry Hound Show (1958), but he proved so popular, he was given his own series in 1961. A conniver and a schemer, Yogi frequently proclaimed he was "smarter than the average bear." His gentle pal Boo Boo always pointed out that Ranger Smith wasn't going to like his latest plot to steal "picanic" baskets from visitors to Jellystone Park, but that never stopped Yogi. The Yogi Bear Show ..."
"Aten-hut, dudes. Fall in with the cadets of Sheldon R. Weinberg Military Academy, where the new arrivals have decided that anything goes. So the first things to go are the rules. In the tradition of Stripes and Police Academy, Up the Academy deploys film-debuting Ralph Macchio and company in a series of raunchy, madcap maneuvers. Barbara Bach as a fully-armed armaments expert, Tom Poston as an instructor whose favorite subject is bedche ..."
"Seit ihrem ersten Abenteuer 1984 ist es mit den Geisterjägern abwärts gegangen. Das erzählt uns zumindest diese Fortsetzung, die fünf Jahre später entstanden ist und weitaus weniger witzig daherkommt als ihr Vorgänger. Dazu gehört, dass Dr. Venkman (Bill Murray) es nicht geschafft hat, eine dauerhafte Beziehung zur Liebe seines Lebens (Sigourney Weaver) aufzubauen und dass diese inzwischen aus einer anderen Beziehung ein Kind hat. Aus d ..."
"Comedy superstar Dan Aykroyd stars as a mild-mannered professor of chivalry and infamous underworld pimp in the hilarious comic romp Doctor Detroit. When Professor Clifford Skridlow (Aykroyd) accidentally gets conned into taking on the persona of "Doctor Detroit," he soon finds himself up to his neck in luscious ladies, the Chicago Mob, and a notorious crime czar called "Mom" (Kate Murtagh). It's comedic chaos all the way as Aykroyd att ..."
"Ruthless. Shameless. Clueless! Celebrity interviewer Jiminy Glick (Martin Short) tackles the big screen with his first feature film: a wildly irreverent, laugh-till-it-hurts movie experience that skewers Hollywood with "potent comic accuracy" and features "more celebs than you can shake a microphone at" (Entertainment News)! Hungry for an A-list interview that could launch him into the gossip-page stratosphere, the small-time journalist ..."
"The Dukes of Hazzard: The Complete Fourth Season finds the redneck comedy down to a fine science almost comforting in its predictability. Cousins Bo (John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat) still raise hell with the General Lee in rural Hazzard County (and still have no visible means of financial support). Daisy Duke (Catherine Bach) is still the picture of wildflower innocence despite her tomboyish temper and barely legal short-shorts. Un ..."
"Adam Sandler fans are sure to enjoy this no-brainer comedy, but everyone else is strongly advised to proceed with caution. Before scoring a more enjoyable hit with his 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer, the former Saturday Night Live goofball played Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered guy whose dreams of hockey stardom elude him. But when he discovers his gift for driving golf balls hundreds of yards, he joins a pro tour to win the prize money n ..."
