[AGL] y'all seen any good movies lately?

[globe at zipcon.net]

We finally watched "Shall We Dancesu" the original japanese film and found it 
very enjoyable. We also saw "Death at a funeral" and liked it a lot but 
probably because we were so hungry to see good farce. The same actor who played 
the lead in the "Station Agent" was in "Death at a Funeral" He is such a good 
actor.
