Hidden Figures
Fly Me to the Moon
The closer and closer we get to colonizing on another planet (if the aliens will allow us) the more important it is to show love and appreciation to the people who help get us there. Hidden Figures highlights 3 exceptional black women (and actresses) who have to fight all the odds and circumstances against them to get NASA into orbit and home safely. Proper calculations and staff management work incredibly well to their advantage because they are more than qualified to walk those halls! Fly me to the Moon also highlights our determination to get into orbit but in a slightly different light. This one yet again shows the tenacity of a woman who is the best in her field (ad exec) that must do her best to SELL NASA. Not only does she have to sell Nasa as a brand but she gets recruited to sell the landing as an event. Channing and Scarlett make a charming match made in the cosmos who will not only get the job done but put on a good show while doing it.
Mr & Mrs. Smith
This Means War
It's almost time for us to sit around the dinner table and enjoy a lovely meal with our family but before we get there, we need to make sure we know who they really are. I absolutely love both of these films as they start off with a traditional view and spiral into spy vs spy thrillers. Mr & Mrs Smith has two of my favorite actors (Angelina & Brad) as married International spies who do not disappoint in drawing you into their crazy love/death chase. Meanwhile Reese Witherspoon is back this month on my list but not as the infamous Elle Woods but as Lauren the delightfully charming catch. 2 top International spies fight to the death and deception to win this girls heart and it is insanely wild and fun to watch who's going to win this war.
Mean Girls
Legally Blonde
As our little ones, teens and adult children head to school this September, let's be sure to raise a pen to all the students who keep us on our toes/heels. These movies are dedicated to the boys and girls who think they make the world go round for about 12 years, only to find out as adults what the true meaning of life is. Enjoy those years with Cady and Elle as they show these temporary rulers of the halls who's really boss with all the brains and beauty to back them up.
