Q: I noticed a similarity between the Quonset hut setting in the Clint Eastwood film "Heartbreak Ridge" and the '60s television sitcom "Gomer Pyle: USMC." Were both filmed at the same location?
You've got sharp eyes -- both the 1986 Clint Eastwood drama "Heartbreak Ridge" and the 1964 to 1969 Jim Nabors sitcom "Gomer Pyle: USMC" were filmed at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California.
The two are, of course, very different, but both treat the Corps with due reverence -- "Gomer Pyle: USMC" didn't take its main character very seriously, but it did treat his vocation with respect. So much so, in fact, that Nabors was made an honorary Marine in 2001.

Sadly, the 15 minutes of fame are over for the moose, bears, game wardens and other mythical beasts who reside in Maine's wilderness -- "North Woods Law" has been canceled. There's been talk of a new version based in New Hampshire, but nothing official so far.
New Releases for the week of January 15-21
The Girl on the Train
Rachel (Blunt) is a recently divorced alcoholic who left her husband, Tom (Theroux), after catching him with another woman. She keeps an eye on her ex-husband and the mother of his child, Anna (Ferguson), when she passes his house on the train each morning, but she also becomes increasingly fascinated with his next-door neighbors, Megan (Bennett) and Scott (Evans), who seem to have the perfect, loving marriage that Rachel never had. Soon enough, Rachel begins stalking Megan, obsessing over the life that seems so perfect. When Megan is found dead only a few hours after Rachel discovers that the woman was having an affair, Rachel's erratic behavior quickly makes her the prime suspect in a murder investigation.

Keeping Up With the Joneses
Karen (Fisher) and Jeff (Galifianakis) Gaffney have a pretty normal suburban life: a nice house, decent jobs and pretty good kids who are away at sleepaway camp for the summer. Their peaceful little cul-de-sac is shaken up, however, when Tim (Hamm) and Natalie (Gadot) Jones move in a few houses down. Not only are the new neighbors just a bit too perfect and worldly, they also seem to be much more friendly with the Gaffneys than new neighbors have any right to be -- suspiciously so. Karen quickly begins to suspect that there's far more to the Joneses than meets the eye.
Director: Greg Mottola. Stars: Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher, Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot. 2016. 105 min. Comedy.

He finds out that she had a whole other life that she kept hidden. The truth shocks him as he digs deeper.
