dreamsharkFinished the first West Wing disk (episodes 1-8). I am now totally addicted and am harrassing other family members to finish up another movie and send it back so we can get more West Wing.
Bend It Like Beckham - totally charming, which is not something I ever thought I'd be saying about a sports movie. Of course, it's not really that much of a sports movie, except in the sense that Billy Elliot is a dance movie. Didn't bother with the onscreen commentary, but the "Making of" special is short, sweet and definitely worth viewing. Especially if you weren't aware that the director/writer/creator of the movie is a middle-aged English/Indian woman. If you had any doubts as to the authenticity of the background, she lays them to rest.
