It's Carol here again to let you know what is new at Video Magic.

I'm sorry that it has been a couple of weeks since I have written to you. My life has been so hectic lately with the new grandbaby and my father's illness.

First of all I would like to thank everyone for praying for my Dad. I have received some very sweet email messages and your prayers are very much appreciated. There has been no change at this time in my Fathers condition. We are going to get started on his treatments the week after next. They are going to start him on radiation as well as Chemo Therapy. With your prayers and all of the medical attention, hopefully my Father will make a full recovery. We just have to believe and keep on praying.

On another note. There has been some really good movies that have come out in the past couple of weeks. As usual I am going to tell you the ones that I recommend.

The Benchwarmers: This was a really cute movie. I think the entire family would enjoy this one. It is about a group of underdogs who come out on top. I give this one a We Recommend.

Final Destination 3: This is a really good movie. If you like action/horror movies, then this is the movie for you. In this movie you have the option of choosing how the characters can die. Erica watched this one and she really enjoyed it. Erica gives this one a really big We Recommend.

V for Vendetta: This is a really action packed movie. A bit strange but my entire family enjoyed it. This movie mirrors a lot of the politics that are going on in the United States today. The Salyer Family gives this one a We Recommend.

The Shaggy Dog : This is a really cute movie. I took my family to the drive-in to see this one. My son Justin really loved the dog scenes. He is a real animal lover. Justin gives this one a We Recommend.

As always I would like to Thank you for renting your movies at Video Magic. Without all of our wonderful customers, there would be no Video Magic.

Serving you with pride for the last 20 years.

Trivia Answer 

Answer To Trivia

Natalie Portman was just 11 years old when she was cast in director Luc Besson's 1994 film The Professional, a.k.a. Leon. (Portman had turned 13 by the time the film was released in the fall of '94.) The very adult role of the smoking and gun-wielding Mathilda marked Portman's film debut.

Portman has gone on to bigger roles, including an exotic dancer in 2004's Closer. She earned a Oscar nomination for that role.

The beautiful Portman is back in action with V for Vendetta, a dystopia based on the graphic novel of Alan Moore. Watch this thrilling film on DVD today.
