Possibly the most enjoyable movie I've seen in a theatre this year. Definitely recommeded. Sorry, I don't have time to describe it in detail. But who cares? It's a good movie.

As some of the characters and regular skits were still in development, it's hit and miss at times. But when it hits, they nail it. Laughed out loud through almost every episode on one disc, and hardly at all on the other disc (or perhaps I'd had a bit too much by the second disc; I only had the discs for one day, so I had go it all at once), over two hours in total on each disc. I wonder if kids these days would like the show. I wonder if George Lucas will allow them to release the "Star Wars" episode when that comes around, probably in season two or three. Anyway, if you remember the show and can rent a couple discs for a week (so you don't OD on them like I had to), I recommend it.

If it wasn't for the good acting, it wouldn't have worked, but they pulled it off. It's a popcorn court room movie with plenty of twists and turns and surprises to keep you watching, keep you entertained, no major stress on the brain cells. The kind of movie you could watch in bed, forget about five minutes later, and then go to sleep. Gene Hackman is so good at playing bad guys.

And you'd probably also really like "Matchmaker" and - here's digging back a ways - "Local Hero." Both of these will make you wanna sell your condo and go make a living whittling driftwood pipes or some other such crafty thing in a quaint little Western European seaside village.

I plan to watch NOTHIING of what you discussed, but it was fun reading it anyhow. Claire Danes is good. I saw broke down palace, that movie freaked me out. I don't want to go to travel the world anymore in case I get thrown into jail for the rest of my life by accident. I read it ALL, and I’m a better person for it!
