The DVD Next Door

Since today’s movie reviews are about dancing, I checked the latest Dancing with the Stars news. Seems that they’re on an Olympic kick and may ask Nadia Comaneci of gymnastic fame to compete. Nadia, who was unceremoniously fired from Trump’s Celebrity Apprentices last night, is apparently eager to dance and available.  Michelle Kwan, an Olympic skater, says she’s not quite ready for the show. In sadder news, Christopher Bowman, an elite skater, died at the age of 40 this week. Bowman had a difficult history including drug use, but hopefully will be remembered for what he contributed to the skating world, which included several national titles and  Olympic wins. You can see him skate at the 1991 Nationals here. Bowman was also a child actor and played the role of Benjamin in Little House on the Prairie. He recently played the role of an assistant coach in the upcoming movie Down and Distance, not yet released and still in production.
