Chef (2014)
a moving feast
visually appealing and sweet treat of a movie. Unexpected plot twists and moving family scenes. Yum. It speaks to the power of food and family. And the need to listen and learn from our children -- they have a great deal to teach us. I would watch it again with my husband as he would love the sweet father - son relationship as it plays out. The father is not paying any attention to his son and that relationship is critical to both of their happiness in life. I hate to see parents so self absorbed they don't see how much they are missing by not paying attention to how short a period of time we have with our children and to waste that is sad.
Muffin Top: A Love Story (2014)
a funny, smart body image romantic comedy
Cathryn Michon is a Grrl Genius, all grown up and taking on Hollywood's insistent view that women are only to be seen (and only then if they are perfect) and not heard. Enough of that! This movie is laugh out loud funny, sweet, smart and oh-so-worth your hard earned money. Michon wrote, stars and directs this ode to smart women everywhere who refuse to accept the media's vision of how we should look; and to love ourselves NOW, not 5 pounds from now. Change Hollywood, change the world. Kudos Ms. Michon -- you are the change we wish to see in the world. This is the only movie I have sat through more than once. It is that good and fun.
