Two Things I Would Recommend
Akeelah and the Bee
I rented this movie and watched it with the kids this weekend. It was the best movie I've seen in a while and the kids immediately wanted to start studying for the spelling bee afterwards. I thought the kids were very impressive actors and I can't wait to see them in other things as they get older. Laurence Fishburne played the mentor/coach/teacher which is the type of character that he plays best. In "What Ever Happened to Bobby Fisher" and "The Matrix" he shows that he would probably be able to teach anybody anything. A really nice movie and I'd definately point anyone towards it.
Jonah Hex
I recently picked up some back issues of the latest Jonah Hex series and have enjoyed all of them. They capture the western feel very well without coming across pretentiously, and the art and writing are very well done. Add to it cool cover art and the fact that the stories are self contained, and you've got yourself a winner.

I remember Jonah Hex from our days in the Big S. You always did like that Cowboy! And spelling bees, huh? So should I rent it before or after I rent the Tenacious D movie?
Before, because it's actually out on DVD as opposed to Tenacious D which is just going to theaters.
sweet!
I was wondering about the new Jonah Hex. I'll pick up the new TPB and check it out.
I'll say after you rent the Tenacious D movie. I liked the spelling bee movie and I like Jonah Hex, maybe they should make a movie about Jonah Hex doing a spelling bee only instead of winning it he spells a word wrong and just kills everybody.
I'd go see that
dag! Issues 1-6 of the new Hex was pretty good. Thanks for the tip.
