Movie Mania

Hello my loved ones!

Due to a sad closing of our local "Ohana Video" movie rental, I was FORCED to take NetFlix up on their free trial offer! I have been able to select some of my favorite movies. These are older so you must accept it is not a new release. (If that's all you are really into.) I have watched a couple now and I just love them! I realized that if I wanted to share these feelings with my friends I should be BLOGGING about it. So here we are.

Please rent IRON JAWED ANGELS! I've never been crazy about Historical films... especially to watch by choice, but this doesn't make you feel like you're watching a boring class video. It is so inspiring! It has rejuvenated my appreciation for the RIGHT TO VOTE!  Watch it! I promise you will enjoy it! But to any with children around, you have to watch this with undivided attention. So wait until they are asleep :>

Full Cast:

• Hilary Swank as Alice Paul
• Frances O'Connor as Lucy Burns
• Molly Parker as Emily Leighton (fictional character; a senator's wife)
• Laura Fraser as Doris Stevens
• Lois Smith as Rev. Anna Howard Shaw
• Vera Farmiga as Ruza Wenclawska, also known as Rose Winslow
• Brooke Smith as Mabel Vernon
• Patrick Dempsey as Ben Weissman (fictional character)
• Julia Ormond as Inez Milholland
• Anjelica Huston as Carrie Chapman Catt

Here is HBO's Synopsis:

IRON JAWED ANGELS recounts for a contemporary audience a key chapter in U.S. history: in this case, the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920. Breathing life into the relationships between Paul, Burns and others, the movie makes the women feel like complete characters instead of one-dimensional figures from a distant past.

Although the protagonists have different personalities and backgrounds - Alice is a Quaker and Lucy an Irish Brooklynite - they are united in their fierce devotion to women's suffrage. In a country dominated by chauvinism, this is no easy fight, as the women and their volunteers clash with older, conservative activists, particularly Carrie Chapman Catt (Angelica Huston). They also battle public opinion in a tumultuous time of war, not to mention the most powerful men in the country, including President Woodrow Wilson (Bob Gunton). Along the way, sacrifices are made: Alice gives up a chance for love, and colleague Inez Mulholland (Julia Ormond) gives up her life.

The women are thrown in jail, with an ensuing hunger strike making headline news. The women's resistance to being force-fed earns them the nickname "The Iron Jawed Angels." However, it is truly their wills that are made of iron, and their courage inspires a nation and changes it forever.

They both do Baby Signs & love exploring.

So we thought we would go to the Zoo since the last time we were there Jocelyn was too young to see most of the animals. It was not busy at all so that was extra nice! ;> I didn't take pictures of all the animals because I did that last time. Here are some of the highlights...
