A long holiday weekend, family from out of town here for the duration. Can't watch football the whole time. What to do?
Rent a movie! Well, maybe. But which? Here are the current most-rented from Netflix, showing once again, that Racinians have ...um, eclectic tastes.
The first three are ... well, nothing our family would want to watch together: Epic Movie is a spoof of blockbusters (a magic chocolate factory, a wadrobe, and the ...sounds like witch... of Gnarnia); Weeds is the Showtime TV series about a surburban matron pot dealer; Hostel II is yet more blood and gore (if you like this genre, the video store is full of it). Weeds is wonderful, actually, but not for Thanksgiving!
The first film on our list with a straight-forward plot and a recognizable star is No. 4, Deja Vu with Denzel Washington. It's earnest but muddled. Given our 'druthers, choose the fluff represented by 6-9 (Man of the Year with Robin Williams, Blades of Glory, Dreamgirls or Wild Hogs), or maybe The Last King of Scotland with Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin (for the acting; it's not a holiday plot.)
Or take out a stack of books from the library!
