A man watching chick flicks? Yes, if that man is Nick Waters. Last month I interview Nick, a guy from a small town in Oklahoma who planned to watch 30 Chick Flicks in 30 Days. I caught up with Nick again recently, after he finished his 30 day Chick Flick challenge to find out how he felt after 30 straight days of chick flicks.
Recently, I spoke with Nick Walters, a Oklahoma native that is taking on a very unique project. In order to understand his wife and other female family members better, Nick will watch 30 chick flicks in 30 days. The idea is to watch 30-straight days; 30-straight chick flicks. It will begin Friday, January 15, 2010 and end on the day before Valentine’s Day, Saturday, February 13, 2010
This was a good year for Chick Flicks. Meryl Streep continues her comic reign in the delightful Julie & Julia and It’s Complicated. Sandra Bullock also had a good year (we won’t mention All About Steve) with The Blind Side and The Proposal. Disney gave us a Jazzy new Princess and Rob Marshall’s Nine feeds my need for musicals.
I remember Micheal Jackson as the youngest member of the Jackson Five. When everyone was going crazy for the Osmond Brothers, The Beatles or other pop stars of the day, The Jackson Five gave young black kids in the 1970’s their own stars. When I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show, I jumped and screamed and dance around the living room with joy.
Dallas is becoming the home of some quite prestigious film festivals. This week the USA Film Festival brings a host of movie stars to town.
