...Weather Man He has a funny name (David Spritz) and the studio tried, disastrously, to sell this Nicholas Cage movie as a comedy. It wasn't. It was about a Chicago weather reader dealing with an almost classic midlife crisis-a divorce, a disaffected child, an accomplished, disapproving (and dying) father (Michael Caine) the tempting possibility of taking his act from local to national TV. Steve Conrad's excellent script is directed as a sort of sad frenzy by Gore Verbinski and the result is a very affecting movie, offering a convincing portrait of middle class desperation that ends...
...consumption. But what kind of pie? “The Weather Man” strives to be a pie of substance and succeeds to a certain degree; with its sense of humor and light social commentary, it certainly avoids the vapidity of fast food. Nicolas Cage plays Dave Spritz, an overpaid, oversexed, and unloved Chicago weatherman coming apart at the seams.

When his father (Michael Caine) is diagnosed with cancer, Spritz takes it as a sign...

Kahne, a West Coaster with model looks, and rising star Vickers, a self-styled metrosexual, embody an emerging racing demographic.

Mto France, the national weather service, posted hopelessly quaint tips: wet your draperies, and maybe even spritz a little perfume on them to sweeten...
...four weeks after its May launch, according to Beverage Digest. It's too soon to declare it a winner, but analysts say Coca-Cola may have found a drink that bridges generations: Vanilla Coke reminds the baby-boom-and-older crowd of the days when soda jerks would spritz your glass with a shot of vanilla from the fountain. And kids like the sweet taste. The launch has also been helped by strong bottler distribution, cute Chazz Palminteri ads and single-serve-only packaging that attracts impulse buyers. The strong sales may encourage further innovation in a busy market...
