“They were two people who couldn’t go out into the world, so they made a world with each other.” How eerily perfect for Labor Day weekend 2020! We’ll be watching this movie and making peach cobbler in a Pyrex Early American mixing bowl, just like Josh Brolin is in this scene. Have a safe and […]

Mrs. Doubtfire – Pfaltzgraff Trousseau
From our favorite alien in “Mork and Mindy” to the wise mentor in “Dead Poet’s Society,” Robin Williams had the rare ability to move us from full-body laughter to gut-wrenching sorrow. But old and young alike will agree that Robin won all of our hearts in his humorous yet soul-touching performance as the beloved British […]

February is for Lovers – Day 3 – Truth About Cats and Dogs
The Truth About Cats and Dogs is a classic 90s Romantic Comedy. In this movie, Janeane Garofalo (Abby) and Uma Thurman (Noelle) co-star. Through a series of lies and half-truths, Brian (Ben Chaplin) falls for Noelle’s looks and Abby’s brain. The movie’s most memorable scene has Brian and Abby on an epically long phone conversation.

February is for Lovers – Day 2 – Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day is obviously THE quintessential movie for February 2. This offbeat movie isn’t your classic romantic comedy, as it part nihilist fantasy, part wish fulfillment, and yes, part romance. Popular dish patterns were hard to spot, despite plenty of dishes in the diner and many collector plates hanging on the wall. However, there is […]
February is for Lovers Day 1 – 27 Dresses

She has been in 27 weddings, doing everyone else’s bidding. This seems to be a common theme in Jane’s life. A theme which began when her mother died. She takes […]

When […]
Snatched (2017) – Majesticware Spring Daisy
In this madcap comedy, Goldie Hawn plays the cautious, somewhat staid, mother to daughter and “comedy queen” Amy Schumer’s frenetic, drama-prone personality. When Emily (Amy Schumer) gets dumped by her musician/poser boyfriend, she heads home to lick her wounds. After minutes home with her clingy, slightly Oedipal brother (played by the hilarious Ike Barinholtz), Emily decides she […]
