when it was released about a month back. In fact, it never even played here in
Decatur until this weekend! With such a wildly diverse cast as Jack Black, Mos
Def, Mia Farrow (yes, you read that correctly) and Danny Glover, and the set-up
of an old Ma & Pa video store that, somehow, has all its VHS tapes
<U>erased</U>, leading to a series of misadventures as the attempts are made to
re-film the movies using amateur talent... This may have been too "high-concept"
for mass audiences, but, I for one, am dying to see it! In fact, I know of some
people who even drove out of town to see it! This is a<FONT size=3> <U>LIMITED

cross-country odyssey by three middle-age women. The "road" movie is one of
