| "More people die on fishing boats, per capita, than working in any other job in
the U.S.. Every journey a fishing boat makes can be an all-or-nothing risk. It
is life at its most exhilarating and its most terrifying," says director
Wolfgang Petersen...more |

| I affectionately call The Perfect Storm "The Perfect Snore." It's hard to
find a movie like The Perfect Storm. It is a movie with all the makings of

| For all its high-brow attitude about being adapted from a true story,
/The Perfect Storm/ is exactly as you'd expect: a disaster movie with
great effects, little plot, and passable performances; in other words,
an updated /Twister/ for the year 2000. more |

| It begins with big, bland titles and the cloying strains of James
Horner's obsequious score starting up, a simple refrain repeated so often
it gnaws its way into your cranium like a coprophagous beetle digging for

| The 2000 summer movie season is just about half over and, so far, the
big action blockbusters that seemed the most promising when we were all
still wearing hats and mittens have really let us down. M:I-2? Forget
