The Squid and the Whale

DVD Title: The Squid and the Whale
DVD Release Date: March 21, 2006
Starring: Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Jesse Eisenberg, Owen Kline, Halley Feiffer.

DVD Review: “The Squid And The Whale” is a terrific film exploring the fall-out from a mid-80s divorce. The way this film shows us the damage done to two young boys caught in the middle of this divorce is unblinking. Both boys suffer different kinds of psychological damage in the process of the family’s breakup. Although the story is told from the children’s point of view, it very revealing of the adults. This film has the ring of truth to it and it gets all the seamy little details right; the jealousy, the envy, the pain of loss, the petty disputes over property.

Mean Girls

DVD Title: Mean Girls
DVD Release Date: September 21, 2004
Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Tina Fey, Tim Meadows, Amy Poehler.

DVD Review: “Mean Girls” might appear to be another teen comedy, but this perceptive picture is both surprising and funny. With colorful characters and snappy performances, “Mean Girls” is a rare laugh-out-loud film. Lindsay Lohan stars as Cady, a girl raised in the African bush country by her zoologist parents. She thinks she knows about survival of the fittest, but the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when the home-schooled 15-year-old enters public high school for the first time and encounters psychological warfare and unwritten social rules that teenage girls face.

Date Night At The Movies

Author: Joseph Sandoval

I am single and currently casually dating. I enjoy going to the movies on dates because it’s informal and we can avoid the awkward silence that can happen during some dates. We usually have dinner before or after the movie so a typical date can last up to four to five hours. I like to have dinner after the movie so we have something to talk about if the conversation lulls. Sitting in a theater on a date can be fun because you are sharing popcorn and sitting so close, yet you aren’t expected to be making small talk . You can silently flirt with your date while enjoying the movie. Since I am single and live alone, I make sure to set my ADT Home Alarm before leaving to go to the movie theater on a date. I don’t want a date to be just a decoy to get me out of the house so I can be robbed while I am gone for up to five hours. I can relax and enjoy myself knowing my home is protected while I am gone for the evening.
