Domino
I rented this out of the “Red Box.” I don’t know if you have them or not but they are basically dvd kiosks in grocery stores and what not for a nightly rental fee of $1. So convenient and cheap. I do this every once in a while with...

Family Stone

Good Night, and Good Luck
George Clooney directs a docudrama about Edward R. Murrow taking on Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his communist hearings during the mid-1950’s. The entire movie is in black-and-white, which makes it very pretty to view. It also makes a nice effect with the massive amount of smoking that happens to...
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
