Movie marathon

So while the rest of the world watches the football conference championships, we are curled up with a bunch of movies. We'll see what happens. So far we've watched "Live from Las Vegas: Ron White, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall" (take a pass, poor production quality, and rehashed material). And now we're working on "Enron: The Smartest Men in the Room" which is amazingly fascinating considering it's a tale of corporate corruption. But it has everything - power hungry execs, the accountant who divorces his wife and runs off with a stripper, the guy who commits suicide, and great commentary via the background music. Loved "Son of a preacher man" for Ken Lay's upbringing portion. Unless the 2nd half really tanks, I give it a big thumbs up.

I don't think the material was rehashed. I suspect it was an early version of the shows we like so much. A precursor to Blue Collar comedy tour. But seriously, the production values were only a small step above sitting in a theatre and filming the film with a cell phone.
