Focus Group

A friend of mine is a really big movie buff and she decided that we needed a movie club. Thus was born "Focus Group".

Each month she names a theme and one film that really demonstrates it well. Then the rest of us in the club chat and settle on a second film. Two films a month. Not so difficult.

But also, because it's funny, we have an optional 3rd bonus film. That film is ALWAYS a Nicholas Cage film that fits the theme as best as we can.

Here's what we've watched so far this year:

January - Prison Breaks

• A Man Escaped (1956)
• Papillon (1973)
• Bonus: The Rock (1996)

February - Disaster Films

• The Core (2003)
• Independence Day (1996)
• Bonus: Knowing (2009)

March - Foodie Films

• Tampopo (1985)
• Babette's Feast (1987)
• Bonus: Pig (2021)

And this month we will be watching

April - Location is a Character

• LA Story (1991)
• Before Sunrise (2004)
• Bonus: Moonstruck (1987)

I should add some reviews, huh? That could be doable. I wonder if I should dust off my old review technique!
