      At 13 minutes, when Eileen tells her husband that she is nominated, she places two letters in a box on a table in the house. At the next shot, when she walks to the camera into the living room, you see in the background that the two letters lie differently in the box.

    Church Lady
    Simple little story that you can predict a mile away, but still worth watching. More of a drama, although it seems like a comedy at first. Love Kathleen Turner, so it was great to see her back in a starring role. It doesn't rip apart Catholics either, so that's cool too.

    The opening scene with Kathleen Turner's voice praying in a church at first made me think I was watching a horror movie, her gravely voice is made for voicing people possessed by demons.
