February 2 . . .
Ever wonder where such a goofy holiday as Groundhog Day came from? It stems from an old German legend that says if the sun shines on this day (also known as Candlemass Day - impress your friends with that one)six more weeks of winter will follow. I'm afraid I can't shed any light on how the groundhog got involved . .
Celebrate the occasion with - what else? - 'Groundhog Day' (1993). Bill Murray stars in one of his signature screen roles as arrogrant, misanthropic TV weatherman Phil Connors, who is resigned to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities in Punxatawney, Pennsylvania - "the weather capital of the world" - only to find himself lost in some sort of time warp, having to re-live the same 24 hours over and over . . . and over.
Murray is endearingly smarmy, and Andie McDowell is good as the coworker he's trying to seduce. A consistently witty and inventive comedy from writer/director Harold Ramis, who also worked with Murray on 'Ghostbusters'.
