I'm very glad we are together again for one more flight through the realm of motion pictures.
For the new members of the "Cinephiles" group...
WELCOME ABOARD!!!
Our blog has a new look!
A list of the films viewed in the last 2 years (2009-2010), and a list of suggested titles to be watched in 2011 have been posted.
Please pick the ones you'd like to see, copy them in the "comments" slot below (you should become a "follower" to the blog first) or send your list by email.
My first proposition to you is that we start a collection of favorite movie quotes, i.e., those sentences/dialogues said by the characters you specially like.
I've chosen one said by Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in 'Dead Poet's Society':
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for".
You may start collecting yours from now on or search for your favorite ones on the Web.
Post your contributions here in our blog (comments)or send them by e-mail.

Pick of the week:
The film we'll be watching in the next 2 weeks is "The Children Are All Right".
Storyline

Nic, a physician, needs to wield what she believes is control, whereas Jules, under that control, is less self-assured. During their relationship, Jules has floundered in her "nine to five" life, sometimes trying to start a business - always unsuccessfully - or being the stay at home mom. She is currently trying to start a landscape design business. They have two teen-aged children, Joni (Mia Wasikowska) and Laser (Josh Hutcherson), Nic who is Joni's biological mother, and Jules who is Laser's biological mother. Although not exact replicas, each offspring does more closely resemble his/her biological mother in temperament. Joni and Laser are also half-siblings, having the same unknown sperm donor father. Shortly after Joni's eighteenth birthday and shortly before she plans to leave the house and head off to college, Laser, only fifteen and underage to do so...
