A Good Year – February 27

A nice change of pace for Ridley Scott directing a romantic comedy. Russell Crowe took the time out from whipping telephones across the room and beating

some dude down while not dropping his drink, to star along side newcomer Abbie Cornish and Charlie Bucket himself, Freddie Highmore. How long before Freddie

gets pulled over and charged with a DUI? I got two months.

Includes:

• English DD5.1 Surround
