Nov 9th
Groundhog Day**
US 1993. Columbia. 101m.

A weatherman reports on an annual local festival heralding the beginning of winter, and then finds himself living the same day over again. And again. And again....
Enjoyable Twilight Zone-style romantic comedy which indulges itself with the many comedic possibilities although it sentimentalizes towards the end.
