Her husband Jonathan is a partner in a successful law firm. They live with their two young daughters in a luxurious highrise just off the park. So why is Tina so lifeless and exhausted? Well, for starters, her husband (Richard Benjamin, exquisitely obnoxious) is an egocentric nag who only seems interested in climbing the next rung on the social ladder. And her children are goggle-eyed aliens who constantly whine, when they're not being openly hostile towards her. At a party, Tina happens to meet George, a celebrity writer with a streak of narcissism a mile wide. He propositions her. Eventually, she gives in. And that's when the story really takes off.

Earlier this week we had a rather wistful experience. One of our all-time favorite Christmas movies is Remember the Night, written by Preston Sturges and starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck. We were anxious to see it again but unfortunately it's never been released on DVD. Luckily Specialty Video still rents out tapes, and amazingly they carry it. We happily brought the box to the counter and handed it to the clerk. He looked at it quizzically and said, "You know this is VHS, right?"
