2013 Movie Marathon - Week 6

We ended last week with "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," where we kept Kathryn Hahn with us to begin Week 6. 

Sunday, we begin our week with Kathryn, Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd, and Owen Wilson in another "how" movie, "How Do You Know?" When you have two men in love with you, how DO you know?? (Sounds like a lot more trouble than I wanna deal with!!)

Monday, we brought Jack Nicholson with us over to "Terms of Endearment" (which I think would have been more aptly named "TEARS of Endearment"!) with Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Somebody pass me a tissue ... oh heck, just pass the box!

Tuesday, Shirley takes us over to hang out with Kevin Costner, Jennifer Aniston, and Mark Ruffalo to tell the alleged behind-the-scenes story on which the movie "The Graduate" was based in "Rumor Has It" (cue Adele song ...). Boy, that Kevin Costner really gets around!! THREE generations!? (you'll have to watch to find out what that means!)

Wednesday finds us reconnecting with Mark Ruffalo, this time as (the adult version of) Matt, who is best friend and boyfriend wanna be to the 13 year old version of Jenna (adult version played by Jennifer Garner), whose birthday wish at her 13th birthday party is to be "30 and flirty" in "13 Going on 30" (Gotta be careful what you wish for!!) What would you do differently if you could go back and do it all over again??

Thursday was Valentine's Day (or "Single Awareness Day" to some of us), so of course, we had to watch the movie by the same name, "Valentine's Day," to which we connected through Jennifer Garner. There are a whole host of actors/actresses in this one, so the connection possibilities are endless for Friday!! Eenie, meenie, miney, moe ... 

Friday, we decided to bring Patrick Dempsey with us from Valentine's Day and do a little traveling! What's a guy to do when the girl he loves is engaged to someone else? Why, go to Scotland for the wedding and be her "Made of Honor" of course! It's kinda hard to compete with a Duke for the fair maiden's (Michelle Monaghan) hand, especially wearing a mini kilt, but he does win the title "the worst maid of honor of all time." Question is: can he win the GIRL?

Saturday, we wrap up our week as we connect over with actor Sydney Pollack, (who actually produced today's movie), and head out to Long Island to the Larabee mansion where we get to hang with Harrison Ford and Greg Kinnear as the Larabee men, and Julia Ormond as Sabrina Fairchild in "Sabrina." Why is it that as men age they look more "distinguished," but as women age, we just look old? (I'd like one Harrison Ford to go, please!!)

As hard as it is to leave such handsome and distinguished men behind (happy sigh), we'll be bringing Julia Ormond with us to connect over to Week 7 ... stay tuned!
