Just a little shopping tip: Walmart has bins of new DVDs for $5.88- a price point that no one can reasonably complain about. Of course, the problem is that most of the titles at that price are CRAP. Ernest Goes to Camp would be toward the high end of these titles so far.

However, there are a few outstanding titles landing as the selection increases. Nobody needs to get crappy movies, but a really good DVD for under six bucks makes a great stocking stuffer, or cheap gift exchange item. So, I'll just note a few particularly groovy titles I've seen recently for that highly appealing $5.88 price at ye ol Walmart:

Clear and Present Danger - This may be my personal favorite Harrison Ford movie. It has plenty of action and shooting and such, but actually has an intelligent Tom Clancy political thriller plot, with some insight into the corrupting effect of the drug war.

What About Bob? - This movie seems funnier to me every time I see it. The good natured neurotic versus the haughty high strung shrink who's more messed up than his patient just kills me. "It's death therapy, Bob." This rates as perhaps Bill Murray's all-time funniest movie- though there is some competition there.

Freeway - This obscure 1996 movie stars Reese Witherspoon in a much edgier and more interesting role than the crappy Hollywood formula roles she has become very famous for. Kiefer Sutherland co-stars as a psychotic social worker. This didn't go anywhere at the box office, but it is the most brutally funny black comedy since Pulp Fiction.

Rand bless Sam Walton.
