    Billy Bob In Space

    I'm not sure why this went straight to DVD (at least in the UK). A perfectly good heart-warming story with Billy Bob Thornton, Viginia Madsen and a cameo from Bruce Willis - it should have been a shoo-in. OK, the premise of the story is a bit ridiculous, but then so was the plot of Field Of Dreams to which this bears some resemblance in style, with the theme of the lone dreamer fighting against the blockheads in authority. Well worth a viewing.
