Since the title Sophie’s Choice has actually become its own cliche to describe a really difficult choice, I figured I should probably actually watch this movie. Here’s what it taught me: Meryl Streep is not only a really super great actress, she also is really gorgeous. And really good at Polish accents. The Holocaust was really [...]
Slate might claim it’s because I’m a racist. My hormones would probably claim it’s because I will never get enough of Owen Wilson. But I think it’s a lot more than that. His films speak to me and they inspire me. I relate to his characters’ quests for a sense of wholeness and meaning. To [...]
Did you know that during the Depression they had ridiculous dance marathons that lasted for weeks at time where kids (young people) would ‘dance’ meaning stay upright and keep moving their feet for hours and hours and barely sleep and eat? Neither did I, but they totally did and that’s what They Shoot Horses, Don’t [...]
I had no clue what Michael Clayton was about when I went to see it. I knew it was ‘supposed to be good’ and that I would watch George Clooney read the phone book or stare at the camera for minutes at a time and enjoy it. So, it was good and George Clooney does [...]

So, this movie is completely hilarious and I really wanted to include some of my favorite quotes, but there seems to be a dearth of them online and I can’t remember the funniest ones word for word. James Garner and Jack Lemmon play 2 ex-presidents from opposing parties who have to band together to stop [...]
*sigh* I’m in love with this movie and anyone who had anything to do with it including all the other people who went to the midnight showing at the Arclight last night (except for the ones that we laughing loudly in not funny parts and that girl who looked like Mia Farrow. Ok, I’m a little in [...]
The Game Plan: I wish The Rock were my dad. Feast of Love: I wish Robert Benton were dead.
I like Christina Applegate, but judging by the promotional material I’ve seen for “Samantha Who?“, her next series might be called “Christina Who?” (I dare the soup to not make this same joke.)
Dear FilmFemme, What should I do if someone invited me to see a movie and I suggest like 3 or 4 good movies that are out that I want to see (like Eastern Promises or The Brave One or Into the Wild) and he comes back with “Let’s see Resident Evil“? Confused in California Dear [...]
