    Go Back In Time ....

    I have always been a fan of Garrison Keiller and Lake Woebegone Days. I was introduced to that media back in the 1980s on Saturday Night Live where Mr. Keillers popularity grew beyond a cult like status when he would appear and read passages from his iconic novel.. There is something warm yet forlorn about Lake Woebegone, and The Prairie Home Companion. On one hand its funny as hell, mixing old school entertainment with the edge of the 2000's. On the other, it is speaks of a time that is long gone, maybe never to return again. The cast is stellar. Even Lindsay Lohan delivers, and holds her own, with the likes of this all star cast. The story although predicable, is enjoyable for all ages. Take a chance. Turn down the lights to a candle like flicker, pop some popcorn, get comfortable with someone you love, allow yourself to get lost in the story and message. You will enjoy this fine family fare.

    Great Movie

    The movie showed great improvisattion, enjoyable singing and great humor. The cast seemd to really have fun working together. The movie was just like the radio show.

Black Sheep   - DVD
4.3(7)

Black Sheep - Chris Farley stars as Mike Donnelly, the doltish younger brother of a gubernatorial candidate (Tim Matheson). Mike can't seem to stay out of trouble, thus potentially endangering his brother's chance at winning the election, so campaign aide Steve Dodds (David Spade) is assigned to chaperone him until the election is over. Not realizing that he is biting off more than he can chew, Steve takes Mike to the wilderness of Washington state, where the two men are ill-equipped to deal with the difficulties that nature throws their way. Penelope Spheeris (WAYNE'S WORLD) directs this slapstick comedy, which reunites the successful team from 1995's TOMMY BOY.

A Prairie Home Companion (MOD) (BluRay Movie) [Blu-ray]

From legendary director Robert Altman comes his final film, the deeply moving and comedic A Prairie Home Companion. Based on Garrison Keillor's wildly popular radio program of the same name, Altman invites audiences to the fictional "closing night" of the fabled show. As the rain pours down on a blustery Minnesota evening, the cast tapes their final performance, while waiting for the Texas businessman who has bought the theater to arrive and shut them down. Backstage the colorful ensemble says their goodbyes and confront old conflicts, while onstage a sold-out audience enjoys the wit and musical whimsy for which the show is famous. But when a mysterious woman appears offstage introducing herself as the angel Asphodel, it becomes apparent that this will be no ordinary closing night.
