Writer-director Hiroyuki "Sabu" Tanaka's first feature film follows three misfits running through the streets of Tokyo. The mayhem begins when the quiet, unassuming Yasuda (Tomoro Taguchi) decides to rob a bank. En route to the robbery, however, he forgets his mask and ducks into a nearby convenience store for a replacement. When the store's clerk, a washed-up rock star named Aizawa (Diamond Yukai), witnesses Yasuda shoplifting the mask, he pursues the thief. During his chase, Aizawa literally runs into Takeda (Shinichi Tsutsumi), a yakuza thug whom he owes money, and suddenly the three men begin a ridiculous sprint across Tokyo. What starts out as a heated pursuit becomes something far different, especially when the yakuza and the police get involved. Tanaka employs a Tarantino-esque use of flashbacks to both punctuate the chase and shed further light on the lives of the runners in this quirky crime comedy. Theatrical release: November 10, 2000
NON-STOP is the first feature film written and directed by Hiroyuki "Sabu" Tanaka.
Tomoro Taguchi has appeared in various other Japanese films including THE EEL and DR. AKAGI.
Non-Stop Reviews: "...A fascinating tale....Extremely tense and entertaining, featuring some strenuously exciting foot chases..."
-- Wade Major, Box Office "...Cleverly structured, with a slam-bam score and style to burn, it marks the razzle-dazzle directorial debut of the actor known only as Sabu..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "...NON-STOP is one wonderfully long and absurd chase scene....This auspicious 1996 debut for Sabu brings to mind the later German film RUN LOLA RUN..."
-- Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times

Non-Stop review
Mississippi native Charles Burnett directs this quirky romantic comedy starring James Earl Jones as Fish, a retired Jamaican janitor who has spent the last ten years of his life in and out of mental institutions. Although he is still haunted by an inner demon, whom he believes embodies pure evil, Fish lives in a ramshackle boarding house in Los Angeles run by a warmhearted and eccentric widow (Margot Kidder in a boldly unrecognizable performance). His neighbor, Poinsettia (Lynn Redgrave) is a lonely woman who has given up real romance for an imaginary love affair with the long-dead opera star Puccini. One day, Fish finds Poinsettia drunk on the stairs of their boarding house and takes her into his room to recuperate. The two misfits, who have chosen to live within their own imaginary worlds, ...

Slovenly drummer Robert "Fish" Fishman (THE OFFICE's Rainn Wilson) is booted out of his 1980s hair metal band, Vesuvius, right as they're signed to a big label, crushing his dreams and leading to a 20-year stretch of office park employment. A second chance comes in the form of his overweight teenage keyboardist nephew (Josh Gad) who needs an emergency drummer for his band's gig at the prom. It's an odd match--an '80s metal guy in a teen emo-lite band (their name is A.D.D.)--but he's soon offering fatherly counsel to fatherless boy singer Curtis (Teddy Geiger), giving hair gel tips to the foxy bassist (Emma Stone), and working to get the band a club gig. Soon A.D.D. is signed to the same label as Vesuvius, poised for major MTV-stardom, all leading to a big arena spot as the opening band for the dreaded Vesuvius. Fish needs to overcome his tantrum-throwing ways and step up to the kit, if he wants to impress Curtis's hot mom (Christina Applegate) and outrock his former colleagues. A cross between rock star fantasia à la SCHOOL OF ROCK and the Will Ferrell School of man-child comedy, THE ROCKER benefits from tight editing and pretty decent songs. Real-life musician Geiger saves some rough stretches with his easygoing ...

Non-Stop DVD
$12.05
Dennis Dugan (BIG DADDY, HAPPY GILMORE) directs this comedy co-written by Adam Sandler, Judd Apatow, and Robert Smigel. Disco- and hummus-loving Zohan (Sandler) is the Israeli army's best weapon. He can single-handedly take out terrorists and swim like a dolphin, and still find time to charm the ladies. But this lethal weapon is tired of fighting Palestinian terrorists like the Phantom (John Turturro). He has bigger dreams: he wants to cut and style hair. Unfortunately, once Zohan arrives in New York City with a new look straight out of the 1980s and an assumed identity after faking his own death, his lack of experience gets him laughed out of salon after salon. Finally, Dalia (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a Palestinian salon owner, gives him a shot, and the older patrons love him. But just as Zohan is hitting his stride, Salim, a Palestinian New York City cabbie (Rob Schneider) recognizes him, and suddenly the Zohan's dream is in jeopardy.
To confuse matters more, there is a Trump-like developer (Michael Buffer) who is trying to clear out the Manhattan neighborhood where Israelis and Palestinians peacefully coexist in order to build a mall. A bulked-up Sandler is amusing as Zohan, and this is Schneider's best performance ...
| | Synecdoche, New York DVD (2008) Widescreen
Non-Stop movie DVD
$23.79
Obsession and identity are recurring themes in screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's work, and he draws on them again in his directorial debut, SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK. Kaufman's film focuses on the wiles of Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a regional theater director who has won a MacArthur grant to help produce his next project. Cotard's artist wife, Adele Lack (Catherine Keener), subsequently departs with their daughter to Berlin, and he begins a flirtation with box office clerk Hazel (Samantha Morton). Much of the movie revolves around Cotard's ambitious next project, based around his life, which is being constructed in an enormous industrial space in New York City. As the years pass and the project is mired in endless rehearsals that replicate Cotard's existence, the tortured director obsesses over Adele, Hazel, his daughter, his health, and myriad other topics.
The complex and often highly inventive narrative of SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK is typical of Kaufman's screenplays for features such as BEING JOHN MALKOVICH and ADAPTATION. The film draws heavily on the kind of visual trickery that director Spike Jonze has often used in his adaptations of Kaufman's works, and features a strong performance from Hoffman as Cotard. Occasionally the film is abstract and surreal: Hazel lives in a house that is permanently on fire, while the actors Cotard casts in his play often blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Moviegoers will theorize about ...
