Bubba Ho-Tep - Rescue Me

I am not a huge fan of comedies. There are exceptions (I really like Legally Blonde and The Princess Bride). But in general, don't show me a comedy. So when my perennial dining companion pulled out a comedy with an aging Elvis (no, folks, he's not dead) in a Texas rest home doing battle against the forces of inertia and evil, I was nervous. But it turned out to be good (if not clean) fun with a few jumps and a couple of twists. Very well cast and acted. Watch Bubba Ho-Tep. It's great. http://www.bubbahotep.com/

I have really enjoyed is renting entire series from Netflix (http://www.netflix.com/) We've gone through almost all The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Twin Peaks, Deadwood, a truly tremendous series that lasted not even a season called Wonderfalls - you must find it on DVD and watch it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361256/, - all great shows. We are now watching Rescue Me, a really quirky show about the lives of fireman in a post 9-11 NYC fire house. It's not what you expect but it is really good. Plus, the show's theme song is by the Von Bondies, a Detroit band! Except for limiting water cooler chatter with coworkers, renting TV shows on Netflix is a great way to go. You can watch several at a time and there are no commercials!
