Thursday Movie Picks: Female Ensembles
I got into an argument with my Mom early yesterday morning about some family drama. It seriously ruined my Wednesday. I couldn't even put together this post. I was blocked up, a bit depressed. I couldn't figure out, of all the movies with great female casts, which ones I wanted to highlight. Then, I took a few out of my list and came up with what follows...
...a tribute to a few movies of my childhood, with Female Ensembles, that my Mom LOVED and watched repeatedly, so that she could feel something, empower herself through stories of female empowerment, and, of course, get a good cry.

Thursday Movie Picks: Single Location Movies
Our place in both time and space can change us. That's all life really is...right? A series of times spent in certain places, playing out a certain events, coming in and out on bookends, different at then from where you began. Movies that reflect this are often great, and they do it simply by being simple... characters in a specific place, trying to figure things out or survive or learn and grow or all of those things.

Thursday Movie Picks: High School Reunion
I went to my high school class' ten-year reunion, and I probably won't go back to the next one. That's all I'll say. Too many memories I don't want to relive were relived. I like the idealized version of high school in my head way better. Anyway, few subjects lend themselves to great comedy like the high school reunion. (If mine had been filmed, you would certainly have laughed.) And there are so many to choose from.
