On Christmas night my boyfriend and I had to grudgingly pack up our belongings and trek back home from our holiday. And yes, it sucked we had to come back that night and couldn’t drag out the vacation a little longer. Ho hum. Therefore instead of rushing to bed, I insisted on staying up to

Jessie’s January Jeers and Cheers
Over the past month or so I’ve been keeping a mental list of things to mention on this blog. These things are small and need no more then a word or two about why they are awesome or suck. Here is that list. 1. JEERS to the U.S. Postal Service. When you are running a
Cloud Atlas
I was lucky enough to score some sneak preview passes for the latest Tom Hanks blockbuster, Cloud Atlas; my Maryland Film Festival membership is paying off once again. I arrived at the theater with my lucky “plus guest” and although the theater was already packed we got pretty decent seats down near the front. Actually, the Harbor
For a Good Time, Call… Another Movie
As a member of the Maryland Film Festival, I sometimes get perks like free passes to sneak previews or special screenings. The other night I took advantage of this to see a sneak preview of the new comedy For a Good Time, Call. It was screening at the Charles Theater which was a plus for

Summer Movie Week – The ‘Burbs
Really, there are just so many reasons to love the movie The ‘Burbs. The movie centers around Ray Peterson (played by Tom Hanks), who’s stuck in a rut in his humdrum surburban life. He mows the lawn, takes out the trash, goes to work, watches TV with the wife, etc. Rinse, repeat boredom. So he
Are You Ready for the Summer?
When we (the Gen*HER women) started discussing movies that made us think of summer, Meatballs was at the top of my list. Come on! The opening song is called “Are You Ready for the Summer?” What could more summery than a movie about camp? If you felt completely deprived because your parents wouldn’t spring for camp,
Gen*HER Summer Movie List- Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead
This week the gals of Gen*HER will be sharing our favorite fun Summer Movies- check back each day for another movie pick! When the idea popped up for Gen*HER to do a week of summer movie reviews I quickly realized there was only one acceptable response from me… Right on top of that, Rose! That’s
