November Picks!


It seems that a competition has started between the sister and sister-in-law's sister-in-law. Only one of us, me (Lisa), actually finished her assignments in the month of October, and now a war has arisen because of this.

The other two are determine to do what we are suppose to do and watch the films before November comes to a quick end. Crazy concept indeed!

Moving past the ridiculousness of our wonderful sister relationship, here are the movies each has assigned.

Melissa's Pick for Jessica and Lisa:


A woman's lover leaves her, and she tries to contact him to find out why he's left. She confronts his wife and son, who are as clueless as she. Meanwhile her girlfriend is afraid the police are looking for her because of her boyfriend's criminal activities. They talk to a female lawyer, who turns out to be the lover's new lover, and everyone's path keeps crossing each other's in a very complicated and confusing manner.


Jessica's Pick for Melissa and Lisa:


An Irish immigrant family adjusts to life in the United States.


Lisa's Pick for Melissa (quite happy Melissa will be on the same page as Jessica and I):


Scott Pilgrim must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes in order to win her heart.


Lisa's Pick for Jessica (geeking out that Jessica will finally understand the awesomeness that Melissa and I are aware of):



After the traumatizing ordeal in the movie with the same name, Buffy Summers and her mother move to Sunnydale, only to discover that L.A. was just a walk in the park...


Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

In America

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

October Picks!




I think we are all getting back in the swing of things and getting our assignments watched...In a reasonable amount of time. Granted, we still haven't finished before the end of the month, but we're getting closer.

For our picks this month, something extraordinary happened. We only had to pick one film for each. Our first choices had not been viewed by anyone. Usually we have to go a few rounds before we find a 'winner,' but some how this month we were all on top of our game.

Melissa's Pick for Jessica and Lisa


Otto and Ana are kids when they meet each other. Their names are palindromes. They meet by chance,people are related by chance. A story of circular lives, with circular names, and a circular place (Círculo polar) where the day never ends in the midnight sun. There are things that never end, and Love is one of them.
