Tony meets with Chef Colin Nishida of Side Street Inn for lunch at Ono Hawaiian Foods on Kapahulu Ave. Tony and friend, Ted Stemple head over to Puka Dog in the Waikiki International Marketplace. Tony sorts through a number of shirts on the racks, most of which are over-the-top “touristy” designs, including the collectible one he chooses which he was told was priced at $2000, but ended up being $3000 on the price tag. Owner David Bailey provides some insight on the history and current trends of this island wear. Tony starts his visit by going shopping for an Aloha Shirt at Bailey’s Aloha Shirts on Kapahulu Avenue, near Waikiki. ‘No Reservations’ Hawaii episode segment summary: Post Edit 3.07.08: Since by now the show has already aired, and folks have made comments under this post, let’s recap the show right here… Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.Dave Choo explains the menu at New Uptown Fountain to ‘No Reservations’ host Anthony Bourdain These all end up lowering the film for the most part. As well, there's also the issue of the finale making no real sense, injecting a rather odd amount of action that comes off somewhat oddly with little point and context which highlights a highly underwhelming and confusing ending that doesn't come off with any kind of explanation for what's happening. The constant back-and-forth nature of constantly burying stuff inside the box only to have to dig it back up several times over meaning it would've been obvious what he was doing to his neighbors constantly seeing him have to dig up the same part of his makes sense that he has to keep doing it due to his mental snap but the fact that no one notices this factor is quite strange. The other issue here is the rather bizarre structure that tends to highlight several factors that expose his plans. Even worse, because of the repetitious manner of these scenes playing out the film's first half is quite dull and predictable even with all these supernatural hauntings taking place. So much of this one is based on him being jumpy at shadows or cats screeching off in the distance or even more innocuous aspects that it just wears thin after a while with so many of these false jump-scares turning out to be nothing that it lessens the impact of the actual scares later on. The main problem is the fact that so much of this one is dependent on the idea of him hiding the money with a guilty conscience about reporting it and the dead body that anything that occurs around him is supernatural. It does enhance the tempo of the final half rather nicely, but it's all that really holds this one up.

When this in turn leads to the fun discovery of the series of hauntings and encounters that come about with him believing that the corpse found inside is still alive creates a highly impressive atmosphere as he becomes increasingly frazzled and paranoid following each of the encounters as they build up in intensity. The circumstances are anything any homeowner could potentially come across and experience. The innocent nature of the discovery of the box and its contents, uncovering them while preparing a section of the yard during a fi-up session, comes off quite nicely and believably since there's not anything unnatural or impossible about it. Among its better qualities is the rather fun nature in which this one comes about setting up its premise and eventual setup to be put in play later. This was a pretty decent but highly flawed effort. After attempting to repair his yard, a man uncovers a strange box filled with money and a dead body inside, and after spending some of the money finds himself haunted by the figure found with the money which causes him to question his sanity as the events begin to disrupt his life.
