I miss the witches

Film Hype #276.

At 29, the most long-term relationship Sasha and Paige have ever been in is with each other, using their co-dependent friendship as an excuse not to venture out into the dating world alone.

But when Paige meets nerdy Tim and starts to get serious for the first time, the nature of their friendship begins to shift. Fearing she’s being cast aside, Sasha tries to keep their relationship the same, but does growing up also mean growing apart?

Film Hype #267.

Kat Connors is 17 years old when her perfect homemaker mother, Eve, a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears - just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality. Having lived for so long in a stifled, emotionally repressed household, she barely registers her mother’s absence and certainly doesn’t blame her doormat of a father, Brock, for the loss. In fact, it’s almost a relief.

But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve’s disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother’s departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it…

Mo'Nique (the mother) was what perhaps made this Hollywoody piece of social realism worth watching. She did win an oscar after all.

4.0

Spoken as brother-in-chunk (aka a biggun’) and out of love. Just as straight guys need a one seat buffer at the movie theater, same goes for big girls at a fashion show. I know the seating coordinator for the Onestopplus.com wanted all of  her “A-Listers” seated together (l-r, Nikki Blonsky, Gabourey Cinnabon Sidibe and one of them “Real Housewives”)  but she could have gave Gabby and Nikki a bit of elbow room and wedged a gift bag between them.
