Nicolas Cage plays an angel watching doctor Meg Ryan and falls in love with her. While this tries really hard to be a romantic comedy, I just couldn't get into it.
I can't quite put my finger on what didn't work for me. Angels, death and doctoring wouldn't put me off. I like Meg Ryan and Cage is OK. Just something didn't pull me into the story and keep me happy there.
Ah well, maybe you'll have better luck. The DVD can be found in Bandon, and look for VHS copies in Coquille, Coos Bay and SWOCC.

Have you heard of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who wrote the current bestseller "My Stroke of Insight"? Taylor was a Harvard trained brain scientist who suffered a massive stroke. I don't think we'll ever hear a story like this - Taylor understands how the brain functions and she was able to observe her mind deteriorating. She writes about the euphoric nirvana and a sense of complete peace and well-being she discovered in her stroke and she talks about this in her incredible (don't miss it) talk on TED.com. In the book, Taylor explains how to 'step to the right of their left brain' to uncover a deep internal peace. Meg Ryan was in the audience when Dr. Taylor gave her speech at TED... hey, maybe she'll do the movie and we'll all be able to "have what she's having" to reprise that line from When Harry Met Sally : ) Sign me up!
