At the Movies

Welcome to Mooseport
Gene Hackman stars in Welcome to Mooseport as a former U.S. president who retires to a small New England coastal town to write his memoirs. But his new neighbors have other ideas. They plead with him to fill the vacant mayoral seat. In the interest of fairness, a local plumber (Ray Romano) runs against him, who quickly proves to be a wildly popular candidate setting off a surprisingly fierce and competitive campaign not just for office, but in a race for Maura Tierney's affections. A well acted gem which is Romano's (Everybody Loves Raymond) first movie vehicle.
 

Play It
NFL Street
In the wake of Madden NFL and NFL Blitz comes NFL Street, which offers true harmony between arcade and simulation football games, but with more attitude than both of them put together. NFL Street is unlike any other football game you have ever played. You can boost your Gamebreaker meter and players become unstoppable, making impossible catches or smashing opponents into concrete walls until they hurt like Lawrence Taylor after a Tuesday morning bender. If you've been eagerly waiting for some fast paced, hard-hitting football, NFL Street delivers what you're looking for.
