Two great new movies out this weekend, GHOST TOWN (a dark comedy starring Ricky Gervais about a misanthropic dentist who "dies" and revives with the ability to not only see but talk to dead people) and THE DUCHESS (a biopic period piece based on Amanda Foreman's book GEORGIANA, The Duchess of Devonshire) about one of Princess Diana's famous relatives who shared many of her attributes and marital misfortunes.

I'm short on time this weekend but here are a couple of fun, insightful clips.





Enjoy your weekend!
