I, Tonya

 Hello Moviemainers,  

I know I am a little late for announcing the film but time sure flies when you are having fun (a joke).   The film for the month of January is  I, Tonya    About Tonya Harding and the  1994 Olympic ice skating tournament.   The film is considered a biographic black comedy .   Allison Janney won Best Supporting Actress at the 2018 Academy awards.    

I thought it would be fun to do a little film trivia along with the announcing of the film.    Here goes for anyone that would like to play along.   Email me if you know the answer, I am aware that there are some people in the group that will just look it up on line, quickly so I will try to make this hard to find the answer as we are not having any movie club dinners or movie time.    I will try to think up a really great prize for all those people who are all about winning.    Here goes,  What sci-fi film marked both Drew Barrymore and William Hurt's film debuts?     

I look forward to hearing from someone out there????????????   It is bad enough that we can not get together but a little communication would be great.

The Christmas Tree

 Hello Moviemainers,    

Here we are yet another year has come and gone.  I am trying to think of something positive to say about this year ????????   Well we are all still alive and healthy.  We can only look forward to a New Year with the return social gatherings and lots of movies to watch.

The film for the month of December is The Christmas Tree 1996 Starring Julie Harris.  It tells the true story of a man whose job it is to locate the tree for the Rockefeller Center and the nun he meets while scouting for the tree.  You can watch this film for free on Youtube and it was directed by Sally Field.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday (although maybe not as exciting as it was last year); we must make the best of it.

For Your Consideration

Hi Moviemainers,   

Here is the film for the month of November.   2006 For your Consideration.   This is a Christopher Guest film  which is really a parody on the news and film.     If you liked Spinal Tap or Best in Show, the cast is made up of the same stars.    Three actors believe that there is a possibility that the film they are starring in could be Oscar worthy.   When the name of the film is changed from Home For Purim to Home for Thanksgiving the three stars start acting as if they are big stars and all the crazy that goes with it.   

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving with or without the usual family members that get together .   My what times we are living in.    Take care and wend me an email if you liked the film.

The Great Imposter

Hello Moviemainers,    

This month of August the film is The Great Imposter with Tony Curtis 1960.  It is based on the true story of Waldo Demara Jr.  The story begins with flashbacks of him quitting school and joining the army.  You will notice in this film very similar story to the film by Stephen Speilberg, Catch Me If You Can.  Tony Curtis has a way of playing the role with comedy and drama very well indeed.  I think he is wonderful in this film and I hope you enjoy.  This is also a true story.

I miss getting together with everyone to discuss the film and enjoy a nice meal.  I am hoping that some day soon we can all get together with a movie and dinner.

Send me an email if you enjoyed this film.  Stay in touch.

Peggy Sue Got Married

Hello Movie Mainers,   The film for the month of July is 1986  Peggy Sue Got Married.    Starring Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.   The film tells the story of Peggy attending her 25 year high school reunion as she has recently separated from her husband and says if she only knew then what she knows now, she would have done many things differently.    She faints and is taken back in time, now you will see some similarities in this film and the Back to the Future films.    This film does have a twist to it.

  I would love to say I would hope to see you all this month but I know that will not happen.    What I can say about the virus is ,   without the movies I would be lost, no friends and not going out to eat or out for a cocktail.   Quoting a line from a film " We will always have Paris"   I think no matter What "  We will always have the movies".    I am going to start running a contest and see who knows what film that line came from.    Email me with the answer.    Enjoy the film and I hope to hear from you .

Miss you all    Movielynne
