G's

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes  1953
Marilyn Monroe  Jane Russell

Showgirls Dorothy and Lorelei board a cruise to Paris in order to promote their careers.  Lorelei's Fiancée's father believes her to be a quick lover looking only to take his son's money, so he hires a private detective to follow her on the trip only for the detective to fall for Lorelei's friend Dorothy.  I thought this film to be cutesy, with thriving girl power making these two beauties shine. This would be perfect for a ladies night in.

Ghostbusters  2016
Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon

I have to admit, I was skeptical about seeing this newer version of Ghostbusters while growing up with the original.  I went to see it for my love of Melissa McCarthy and my new girl crush, hilarious SNL native Kate McKinnon.  I was very pleasantly surprised with this version.  Not only was it stitchingly funny but to show the world girls can do it all!  Girl Power! Ok, that was more 90's and too Spice Girls, LOL.  This film keeps you entertained minute to minute with jokes, paranormal knowledge and fast pace script.


The Gift 2000

Small town card reader and psychic Annie (Cate Blanchett), tries to help find Jessica (Katie Holmes) a young sassy southern beauty who goes missing.  Jessica is engaged to well known wealthy man Wayne Collins, (Greg Kinnear) so when the word spreads it makes every headline.  There are a lot of suspects in question; Buddy a young man who is known to be mentally off and grew up in an abusive family, gives up hints on Jessica's disappearance 


Grandma  2015

Lily Tomlin  Julia Garner

Hot tempered Grandma Elle, tries to help her pregnant teenage granddaughter find money for an abortion.  This film is super funny if you love Lily Tomlin's humor.  I find her sarcasm hilarious. The story line was basic but Lily's comedy is worth the time. 


Gretel and Hansel  2020

Sophia Lillis   Alice Krige

Sinister adaptation of the old children's story.  This film is not highly gory but it does hold some creepy scenes.  I absolutely love this film for it's cinematography.  The shots of the woods, sun burst and architecture are stunning if you like the dark filter and gothic ambiance.  This film does have a slow feel to it but I highly recommend it for all the intense scenery.
