There are many amazing movies in the drama genre that some aren’t too familiar with. A significant amount of movies are put out each year that many people don’t know about because they weren’t advertised like the million dollar blockbusters we see during commercial breaks.

The Dream Job

In our childhood, most of us seem to at one time or another dream of being an actor or singer. As we grow older, most of us realize how impractical these types of career goals can be, and we find new pursuits that are more realistic and more in-line with our adult personalities and goals. As a woman in the prime of my quarter-life “crisis,” I'm relishing the unique opportunity to reassess my past goals, present skills, and future plans. My 25th year may in fact be the very best time to look back at the dream jobs I've yearned to pursue in the past, and how they may yet apply to my future.

The FCC and Profanity Regulation

I recently read an article that seemed like a complete blast from the past in the sense that I thought, “Didn’t we go through this in the 70’s?” Apparently, a U.S. appeals court struck down a proposed FCC policy that would ban networks from broadcasting profanity. Does this policy sound a little 1950’s to anyone else? Do you remember in I Love Lucy or Dick Van Dyke that the couples slept in separate beds? This was because a single bed referred too much to sex. Or in the Brady Bunch, the kids had that big ol’ bathroom, but you never saw a toilet? Toilets were considered profane.  Now, it seems like the court was also having these flashbacks because it claimed that the policy was unconstitutional and that the banning of all offensive material (not just swear words, but references to things like sex or toilet time) without a clear definition of what is meant by offensive would essentially limit what broadcasters would feel safe to talk about on-air. Good news for toilets.

Most people consider watching movies an enjoyable pastime. Some of us prefer action flicks where our butts are at the edge of our seats, wondering what mister macho man is going to get himself into next. Others enjoy horror films where, with our hands covering our mouths (or eyes), we apprehensively watch what happens to the victims of the plot and predict who is going to lose their head next. Comedies, whether they be romantic comedies or simply the kind that are hilarious to watch and bring out our most embarrassing chuckles, cannot be left out of this broad list.
