You can always watch "Traci Townsend" on TVOne. It's about a Sister who's thinking back through her failed relationships, asking all the men what went wrong. It has some good moments, but has a few too many sitcom moments too. The overall idea is a good one, but execution could be better.

Rob Zombie is remaking "The Blob", which will be its second remake. He stated that modern audiences won't be impressed by a bloblike creature, so is working on a reimaging of the creature. (How can you make a "blob" movie about something that's not a blob?) - Original Message - From:

I just finished watching "Old Boy" and I feel kinda dazed and bruised. Woo-jin Lee (as played by Jin-Tae Yu) is as diabolical a fiend as I have ever seen on the screen. I can see why Will Smith would be attracted to this material. I know his essaying the role of Dae-su Oh is not popular here,
