I haven’t posted a movie post in a really long time, I don’t know why-considering I’ve done nothing but watch movies all winter. We’re working down a list of favorites, so I’ve got to give my boyfriend credit for quite a few of these {with the exception of Real Women Have Curves-great film, by the way} Here are 6 I’ve seen recently that can help kick start your weekend.
The Painted Veil: A British medical doctor fights a cholera outbreak in a small Chinese village, while also being trapped at home in a loveless marriage to an unfaithful wife.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo: A journalist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing — or dead — for forty years by a young female hacker.
The Interpreter: Political intrigue and deception unfold inside the United Nations, where a US Secret Service agent is assigned to investigate an interpreter who overhears an assassination plot.
Made In Dagenham (now out in select theaters..go see it!) A dramatization of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant, where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination.
Amreeka: A drama centered on an immigrant single mother and her teenage son in small town Illinois.
Real Women Have Curves {early America Ferrera, good stuff!} Coming of Age story of a first generation latina Ana García (America Ferrera) who struggles to balance her family’s culture where she is expected to work in her sister’s dress warehouse, find a husband and have children and forget her dreams of a college education.
