Bottle Shock - It is an independent film… It has Alan Rickman, Bill Pulman and the Slayer… I mean Eliza Dushku. Fun movie about the Global discovery of wine from the Napa Valley in California. The pace is slowish, but keeps you interested, especially in light of the simple, non-complicated plot line. The movie is well-crafted, warm and has the Slayer in it… I mean Eliza Dushka.

Night at the Opera - One of the best comedies ever. When you I think of Marx Brother films, I think of great comedy with a bunch of musicals, that can sometimes get laggy. Night at the Opera was a great film that keeps its pace and is full of classic one-liners and skits. Not much else to say. One of the best comedies… period.

The Male Animal - Wow! Henry Fonda was great in this movie. I’m more used to him playing the straight up guy, but he plays a guy with many more foibles and the drunk scene is worth the price of admission. A movie that is about a simple class that turns into a huge Collegiate free speech issue, very interesting theme on the Red Scare with quite a bit of comedy within it. I only gave it 7.9, but I enjoyed it a ton.
