I've been watching movies

In the film Just One of the Guys, we get a teen version of Yentl, Tootsie,  and Victor, Victoria. The film is set in the 80's which focused on hair and fashion. Dressing up was cool again. Although it was filled with color, the polyester look of the 70's was history. So long double knit, hello cotton and rayon, LOL. Hello Punk Rock and New Wave. Dancing to the music of Prince, Flock of Seagulls, Andre Seymone, Sheila E., The Sex Pistols and Billy Idol. The innovation of MTV and music videos. The world was changing, but some things stayed the same. People still weren't being treated fairly so a young woman feels she needs to become a young man to succeed. The film has moments. Give it a look see.

Four Brothers - This film stars Mark Whalberg and Singer turned actor, Andre 2000 Benjamin of Outkast fame. It's an interesting film with lots of surprises. Terrence Howard appears in the film as a police officer. Quite a switch for him. If you have some free time, give both films a look see. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
