    NEW IN TOWN a pleasant watch

    Renee Zellweger is a corporate exec from Miami who is sent to a small Minnesota town factory to do some efficiency trimming ( terminating excess people ). She encounters some hilarious situations and finds herself falling in love with the union rep, Harry Connick Jr. As she warms up to the workers and their families, her job becomes extremely difficult. And when the home office decides to close the factory all together, she must come up with a solution to save the day.

    Yeah, it's formula fare and predictable, but there are many humorous moments, and even though I am not a big Zellweger fan, I have to admit she is a good actress and can carry off comedy quite well. For the wife and I, it was a pleasant 90 minutes.

    Seems like a good opportunity for me to earn "brownie points"--a "chick flick" that is also entertaining and funny. Thanks for the heads up.

      Just Like Heaven a pleasant watch
      by George Bellefontaine
      Every now and then I like to get away from the heavy drama stuff and the action flicks and sit down with my wife and watch something I feel we would both enjoy. Just Like Heaven filled the bill. It stars Reese Witherspoon as a young dedicated doctor ( so much dedicated that she doesn't have a life)...

      by George Bellefontaine
      THE RUNDOWN stars The Rock as Beck, a retriever/bounty hunter, who is hired to bring Travis ( Seann William Scott) back to the States from the Amazon. Seems Travis was a bad boy and daddy wants him back to face the music, but the real story begins as Beck and Travis come up against a nasty town boss...
