Movie Recommendation - The Grand

Shot in hilarious mockumentary style, this foray into the world of professional poker players is a sure bet! If you liked Best in Show or Dodgeball, you'll LOVE this movie! The star-studded cast sets it apart -- you'll never look at Werner Herzog the same way again!

Movie Recommendation - Girls Rock!

What happens when you gather a group of girls from 8 to 18, give them a mike and tell them the sky's the limit? Something beautiful. These girls really do rock - whether it is their musical ambition, desire to find their true selves or just treat each other right - these girls will knock your socks off. If you cheered for the kids at the end of School of Rock, or rooted for the Seniors in Young@Heart, this is a must-see. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll headbang.
