Argo
2012. 120 minutes. Rated R.
“You need somebody who’s a somebody to put their name on it. Somebody respectable. With credits. Who you can trust with classified information. Who will produce a fake movie. For free.”
Anytime someone makes a film about a historical event, the real key is to sell it despite the fact we already know the outcome. Argo takes a little known story, attaches it to a much bigger one, and markets it to the moon.

He’s Just Not That Into You
2009. 129 Minutes. Rated PG-13.“Don’t start doodling my name on your binder, okay?.
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… chick flicks are a part of life. You can fight them and fight them and fight them, but it’s a losing battle, my friends. Try as you might, you are going to have to watch a few of these things from time to time. What? Not you? Your girl doesn’t make you blah blah blah blah? Oh right right, wait awhile. SHE WILL. Point being, they aren’t all horrible nightmares the way most of them are.
Chasing Amy
Rated R 1997 113 minutes
Archie and Jughead were lovers. I never know when to tone down a joke, I think I get it from Jason Lee.
Quote: You gotta handle it like CNN and the Weather Channel: constant updates.
Seriously, just a fun flick and straight up… educational. We can learn A LOT of life lessons from this film. Lots of lessons about men, women, relationships, our own insecurities, acceptance and tolerance for those who are different. It points out the fact that these monumental differences we build up between each other are really just little details.
