REVIEW UPDATE: GIRL POWER WEEK # 2... and Happy Turkey Day!

Hi, folks. The last of the Russell Crowe Reviews has posted, the wonderful A BEAUTIFUL MIND. And I can't think of a better film to post on Thanksgiving Day. It's a movie that celebrates the importance of family and the power of love - things that we should be grateful for today.

Regarding Russell Crowe, I hope this past week's reviews have affirmed for a lot of you what a great actor he is - and allowed some of you to discover that fact, as well.

Don't worry, we'll have another Russell Crowe Week before the year is up. For now, let's move on to this week's Girl Power Theme. We've got a good mix of thrillers, romances, comedies, and horror films. The unifying factor is that women are at the heart of the stories.

As a reminder, the list is below. There's one change: I'm pulling MORNING GLORY and substituting it with THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT. You'll thank me later...

# 163 - SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE (Romantic Comedy)

# 164 - RUMOR HAS IT (Comedy)

# 165 - DIABOLIQUE (Suspense/Thriller)

# 166 - THE INTERPRETER (Suspense/Thriller)

# 167 - CRUSH (Romantic Drama)

# 168 - THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT (Comedy)

# 169 - THE RING (Horror)



Happy Thanksgiving, folks!
