Chick Flicks, Romantic Comedies. Purely "made by women for women,"right? Well I want to challenge that. I'll watch three films (Say Anything, Singles, Elizabethtown) by male director Cameron Crowe and three films (You've Got Mail, Bewitched, Sleepless in Seattle) by female director Nora Ephron and then explore their similarites or differences. Are there common themes? Do they both use the coventions of romantic comedies? Are they making any commentary on society, love, relationships?
So here's a little a little taste of what's next: Think grunge rock, early 1990s, single life, Seattle and love.
'Mix that all up and you've got Crowe's movie SINGLES.

I'm a NYC gal with an odd and peculiar gift: I'm a walking Pop Culture version of Rainman. Among looking for apartment, a man, a way out of NYC and a way in California, I'm also is trying figure out how I can get one of those gigs on VH1 where nobodies/"comedians" make commentary on Beyonce's latest video or what it was like to grow up in the 90s or get paid to read endless blogs, attend movie premieres, get books for free and travel the world. Oh and no my life is not like "Sex in the City."
