Extractions: Y ou go to see Bill Murray not the movie he's in. No matter how mediocre the film, time spent with him is always rewarding. That absurdist deadpan has served him since the Carter-era "Saturday Night Live." And in his latest, "Groundhog Day," the shtick is still funny. For a time, the movie's pretty good too. "Groundhog" will never be designated a national film treasure by the Library of Congress. But, in terms of vehicle selection, this is one of the better ones Murray has hitched himself to. In fact, its "Twilight Zone"-type premise (scripted by Danny Rubin and director Harold Ramis) is initially intriguing. A people-hating weatherman on a Pittsburgh TV station, Murray's waiting for his real ship to come in. "For your information, Hairdo," he asserts to a well-coiffed colleague at WPBH, "there's a news channel interested in me." Until that questionable possibility, however, he must content himself with such hated aspects of his job as the annual trip on Groundhog Day. For this inane (to his mind) festival, he must join the reporting flocks at Punxsutawney, Pa., to catch the yearly appearance of the spring-determining rodent. If the divining "Punxsutawney Phil" sees his furry shadow, six more weeks of winter are due. If he doesn't, the thaw is on. Now back for his fourth Groundhog Day, Murray with producer Andie MacDowell and cameraman Chris Elliott waits impatiently for the day to end.

Extractions: I trudge over the snow-covered lawn to my backdoor, ignoring my earlier tracks and breaking new ones. I enter the house this way each night, initially because I misplaced my keys, but now because I like to use this roundabout path. It allows me to look up at the huge bare trees silhoetted against the blue night sky, and to check the birdfeeders, to see if the starlings, bluejays, cardinals, chickadees, and sparrows (not to mention the marauding squirrels) need more food. Crunching through the white crust, made glassy and sugary from a recent sleet storm on top of a foot of powdery snow, the sound is enormous: crunch, crunch, CRUNCH...I am a kid again, smashing my boots onto frozen puddles and frost-rimed grass, whacking at icicles with a stick, just to hear the sound of frozen water breaking.
Annual Groundhog Day Jugglers Festival anytime.) Details You'll find jugglers, live music, and family fun for all ages atthe annual groundhog day Jugglers Festival We're always happy to teach others http://atlantajugglers.home.mindspring.com/gh03.htm
Extractions: Jugglers Festival 2003 181 jugglers and yo-yoists attended the 25th annual Groundhog Day Jugglers Festival on Jan. 30 through Feb. 2, 2003 at Grady High School in Atlanta. We juggled, contested, drank, set world records, saw some amazing shows, unicycled and then juggled some more. Many folks achieved personal bests at various arcane and difficult multiple and solo patterns. Other firsts also marked this quarter-century of the Groundhog Day Festival, some not so obvious as others. An mp3 player plugged into the sound system replaced the usual CD player for a few hours Saturday morning. The Atlanta School of Massage offered free massages to jugglers. A good crowd watched Will Howard beat the world record 3-ball joggling mile , which had been at 4 minutes, 43.8 seconds since 1986. Will's official time was 4:42:36, as measured by 3 independent stopwatches. Will said that he could probably have beaten the record by a little more, but the track outside Grady High School has stadium seating on only two sides, creating a wind-tunnel effect which can slow a runner down. Will ran his fastest empty-handed mile in 4:12. For comparison, the world record mile is 3:43 and change, and most hobby runners consider themselves fast if they cover a mile in less than 7 minutes. Other entertainments at the festival included a fairly serious Combat game late Friday and Saturday nights, and a Unicycle Polo game in the parking lot Sunday. Two teams of four each lined up to play Uni Polo, which features a whiffle ball, croquet mallets, and street-hockey goals. We broke only one mallet and no bones. The star (and the only one to score any goals) was a kid from New Orleans. His club plays Unicycle Polo weekly. Skill on the uni is a great asset for the game, but playing also helps to build unicycling skill rapidly.

Compare Prices And Read Reviews On Groundhog Day At Epinions.com Judging by the reviews, groundhog day is viewed in the US as a romantic comedy based Whatall these replayings of the same day teach Phil is that he can't fake http://www.epinions.com/content_57133403780
Extractions: Full Review Groundhog Day gave brief but much-needed boosts to the careers of both funny-but-undiscerning comedian Bill Murray and pretty-but-rubbish actress Andie MacDowell. Its plot is well-known, but mis-quoted. A jaded weather reporter is forced to re-live Groundhog Day over and over again. Most reviews will mention something about 'until he gets it right' - but interestingly that's not something that's ever actually mentioned in the film itself. A review of this film by a non-American is always going to be of particular importance, as I realised when I looked at the other Epinions entries. I knew nothing about the whole Groundhog ritual thing until I saw the film, and I had no idea that the tradition was actually genuine until I read the reviews. And this puts me in a better position to appreciate the film.

Extractions: Groundhog Day Screenwriter By Alan Freed, PunxsutawneyPhil.com Webmaster If we could attribute the increased interest in Punxsutawney's Groundhog Day festivities over the past decade to one individual, it would be Danny Rubin. After all, it was Rubin who came up with the idea of sticking someone in our town for many, many, many, many Groundhog Days for the entertainment of millions of people around the world. Rubin spent many years in professional theater companies, children's television and as a teacher of screenwriting. He is currently a member of the faculty at The College of Santa Fe (New Mexico). Groundhog Day was released in 1993, and claimed the top spot in the box office for two weeks. Worldwide the movie brought in more than $100 million, and it earned a British Academy Award for Best Screenplay. I first had a chance to meet with Rubin when he visited Punxsutawney with Bill Murray on Groundhog Day, 1992. I recently caught up with him by phone at his home in New Mexico to talk about the film, which is still making lasting impressions on people seven years later. During that conversation I got answers to some of the questions I have been asked about the film by e-mail from people over the past several years: Yes, it could have just as easily been Arbor Day, and the events of the movie would have been dictated by that choice. There were many reasons that Groundhog Day was a good arbitrary choice. It was a good choice because it's in the dead of winter. That made good sense for the story since the main character was stuck in his darkest day.
