We were thinking about changing our business plan and becoming an upscale, natural-food version of Chuck E. Cheese, but then we got a box of dvds in the mail, so we shelved our plans. Here are the films we received...

THE READER
Winslet, always typecast, plays an illiterate Nazi cougar

THE SPIRIT
Will Eisner's old comic book is turned into a movie by Frank Miller. Sin City-esque

HOUSE OF SADDAM
Well reviewed miniseries detailing the rise of Saddam Hussein and his attempts to renovate and "flip" a lovely but rundown pre-war Victorian in Baghdad

READY? OKAY!
Boy wants to be a cheerleader, wears a lot of dresses. Catholic School, surprisingly, objects

PAINTERS PAINTING
Great 70s documentary focussing on the NY art scene, certainly a who's-who of that time & place

...And that's all we got. Enjoy the beautiful weather finally, and don't forget to watch tons of dvds with your loved ones!
