After a bad day at work, a man suddenly gets a new job -- as the world's new Heavenly Father -- in this comedy. Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a television reporter working in Buffalo, NY, who has been growing increasingly dissatisfied with his existence, and after an especially bad day, he flies into a rage and curses God for making his life miserable. To Bruce's great surprise, the Supreme Being Himself (Morgan Freeman) appears, and tries to convince Bruce of the enormity of his task. Bruce, however, isn't buying it, so God gives him a chance to find out what he's up against; God bestows all of his powers on Bruce for a week, to see how he'd handle things. At first, Bruce has a great time bending the world around him to his will, much to the puzzlement of his girlfriend, Grace (Jennifer Aniston), but after six days God stops by to remind Bruce he hasn't done much to make the Earth a better place. Disappointed, God presents Bruce with an ultimatum -- he has one day to improve the world in a concrete way, or God will toss the planet back into the void. Bruce Almighty was directed by Tom Shadyac, who previously teamed with Jim Carrey for Liar, Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Four guys whose lives are going nowhere discover to their horror that they have to go someplace (and soon) in this independent comedy-drama. A quartet of college graduates/dropouts are sharing a run-down house on the outskirts of L.A. -- a struggling writer (Timothy DiPri), a chronic burnout (Jason Oliver), a self-styled ladies' man (Mark Fite), and the one guy who actually pays attention to the bills and the rent (Todd Stanton). One day, the guys discover that their landlord is selling the house and that they'll soon be forced to vacate the premises, leaving them and their buddy who crashes on the couch (Jason Cross) with nowhere to go. Suddenly responsibility is staring them in the face, as they tear themselves away from the holy trinity of beer, pot, and cable television and look for jobs that will allow them to pay an actual security deposit. Left Overs was the debut feature from writer and director Jason Phillips -- it earned a theatrical release from noted oddball exploitation outfit Troma Team Pictures. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This 30-minute video provides a thorough stretching session that is both relaxing and athletic. On a calm, dark set, softly bathed in golden light, three people do the exercises as meditative music plays, and the narrator talks participants through the moves in a soothing voice. The program includes an upper-body stretch and a lower-body stretch (both done standing), a total-body floor session, and a "self resistance" stretch. ~ Alice Duncan, All Movie Guide
