Susan Marlowe CPA and The Decidedly Un-Family Movie

Greetings from Susan Marlowe CPA!

I am watching a movie that is decidedly not for the family. This was Charles Laughton’s one and only directorial effort, Night of the Hunter. I am considering at what age would be appropriate for this film. I have two nieces, 8 and 12. And I have four nephews, 6, 9, 13, and 17. I tend to think that I might show it to the 13 and 17 year old boys. A bit of film appreciation.

Anyway, I will update you and let you know how it went.

Thanks from Susan Marlowe CPA

Susan Marlowe CPA and the great family film debate

Greetings from Susan Marlowe CPA!

Well, I haven’t posted much about family movies lately so it is high time that I changed that.

What is a family film? I know that the term can be synonymous with trite films, so determined to be inoffensive that they are as bland as mush. However, the family films that I enjoy are the ones that are fun movies that can be enjoyed (not endured) by everyone in the family.

Its unfortunate that the phrase “family film” is not considered the same as a “good film”

Anyway, that is my philosophy. Enjoy!

Thanks from Susan Marlowe CPA!

Susan Marlowe CPA and the movie club

Susan Marlowe CPA and the classic movie club

Bringing Up Baby

Hello from Susan Marlowe CPA!

I have held another edition of my movie club with my niece Kimi. We showed the classic Bringing Up Baby. Comedy gold! We all enjoyed watching it and Kimi was particularly enchanted with Katherine Hepburn. She is truly hilarious in this film.

I hope everyone gets a chance to watch this film! It is a classic for a good reason.

I am going to continue the Cary Grant trend with something else fun. I think maybe we will try My Favorite Wife.

Anyway, thanks for reading!
