Focus Group
A friend of mine is a really big movie buff and she decided that we needed a movie club. Thus was born "Focus Group".
Each month she names a theme and one film that really demonstrates it well. Then the rest of us in the club chat and settle on a second film. Two films a month. Not so difficult.
But also, because it's funny, we have an optional 3rd bonus film. That film is ALWAYS a Nicholas Cage film that fits the theme as best as we can.
Here's what we've watched so far this year:
January - Prison Breaks
- A Man Escaped (1956)
- Papillon (1973)
- Bonus: The Rock (1996)
February - Disaster Films
- The Core (2003)
- Independence Day (1996)
- Bonus: Knowing (2009)
March - Foodie Films
- Tampopo (1985)
- Babette's Feast (1987)
- Bonus: Pig (2021)
And this month we will be watching
April - Location is a Character
- LA Story (1991)
- Before Sunrise (2004)
- Bonus: Moonstruck (1987)
I should add some reviews, huh? That could be doable. I wonder if I should dust off my old review technique!
