Mon. Jan. 1

Is there any other choice? As an American you are expected to plunk your arse down in your easy chair and come up only to answer the pizza call at the door or the beer call at the fridge? (Oh, yeh, there's those bathroom breaks, too.) Clubs and arts organizations know this isn't prime time either - maybe you're fighting a hangover, too - so it's pretty slim pickings out there. So, if enless pigskin passing leads to Football Fatigue, we'd recommend some of the fine movies out there. We're looking at "The Good Shepherd," "Volver," "Apocalypto," "Pursuit of Happyness" or "Casino Royale." Check theaters for showtimes.
