Flick of the Day

Film: NINE TO FIVE

Director: Colin Higgins

Actors: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, Dabney Coleman, Elizabeth Wilson, Sterling Hayden

Year: 1980

Synopsis: Three career women turn the table on their sexist, egotistical boss.

In a time when women were really beginning to get out of the kitchen and into an office, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton took on the roles of Jude, Violet, and Doralee. Three working women just trying to make their way. The big problem is their awful boss, played perfectly by Dabney Coleman. This film is funny, well written, and the cast is fantastic. If you haven't seen this, it's high time you tried it out.

Film: I HEART HUCKABEES

Director: David O. Russell

Stars: Jason Schwartzman, Dustin Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg, Talia Shire, Naomi Watts, Jude Law, Lily Tomlin, Isabelle Huppert, Isla Fisher

Year: 2004

Synopsis: This independent film stars Jason Swartzman as a man in search of answers to some of the universe's puzzling questions. He seeks the help of a wacky couple (Hoffman and Tomlin) who are self-proclaimed 'existentialists'. The film follows a variety of strange characters, who all find themselves linked to each other in some odd way.

Talk about a great film. I highly recommend that you catch this if you can. Despite the rumors of a difficult director, this project came together beautifully. If anything, check it out to see the hilarious turn of Mark Wahlberg in a surprising role (this had a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe nomination written all over it).
