Movies – Movies – Movies Movies – movies – Movies September 2, 2021 - “Love Among The Ruins” This romantic comedy-drama stars screen legends Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier. The scene is Victorian London, where wealthy widow Hepburn is being sued for breach of promise by her much-younger ex-fiancé. Olivier is the highly respected barrister engaged to defend Hepburn in court. The usually reserved Olivier relishes the opportunity to see Hepburn, who 40 years earlier had been his lover. He is driven to hilarious distraction by Hepburn’s adamant insistence that she has never seen him before. (C) (1975) (1h 42m) (NR). September 9, 2021 - “Forrest Gump” Slow-witted Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) has never thought of himself as disadvantaged, and thanks to his supportive mother (Sally Field), he leads anything but a restricted life. Whether dominating on the gridiron as a college football star, fighting in Vietnam or captaining a shrimp boat, Forrest inspires people with his childlike optimism. But one person Forrest cares about most may be the most difficult to save -- his childhood love, the sweet but troubled Jenny (Robin Wright). (C) (1994) (2h 21m) (PG-13). September 16, 2021 - “Fisherman's Friends” A fast living, cynical London music executive (Daniel Mays) heads to a remote Cornish village on a stag weekend where he's pranked by his boss (Noel Clarke) into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen (led by James Purefoy). He becomes the ultimate "fish out of water" as he struggles to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely group and their families who value friendship and community over fame and fortune. (C) (2019) (1h 34m) (PG-13). September 23, 2021 - “When We Last Spoke” In 1967, two sisters are abandoned and raised by grandparents in the town of Fireside.

Starring Cloris Leachman, Corbin Bernsen & Melissa Gilbert (C) (2019) (2h) (NR). September 30, 2021 - “Moonrise Kingdom” The year is 1965, and the residents of New Penzance, an island off the coast of New England, inhabit a community that seems untouched by some of the bad things going on in the rest of the world. Twelve-year-olds Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward) have fallen in love and decide to run away. But a violent storm is approaching the island, forcing a group of quirky adults (Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand & Tilda Swinton) to mobilize a search party and find the youths before calamity strikes.

(August 2012) Evleen Michelle Nasir, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirsten Pullen There is a discursive formation of incapability that surrounds senior women’s sexuality. Senior women are incapable of reproduction, mastering their bodies, or arousing sexual desire in themselves or others. The senior actresses’ I explore in the case studies below insert their performances of self and their everyday lives into the large and complicated discourse of sex, producing a counter-narrative to sexually inactive senior women. Their performances actively embody their sexuality outside the frame of a character. This thesis examines how senior actresses’ performances of sexuality extend a discourse of sexuality imposed on older woman by mass media. These women are the public face of senior women’s sexual agency.

  • And the Oscar Goes To
    SOCIETY & CULTURE Oscar de la Renta with Spanish socialite and exhibits former fashion model Naty Abascal in the 1960s. AND THE OSCAR GOES TO... As the Museum of Fine Arts pays tribute to prolific fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, local style icons look back on his impact on both their lives and the world. By Michele Meyer The first major fashion exhibit at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston began with one phone call, when philanthropist Lynn Wyatt rang up Museum Director Gary Tinterow. Having seen a tribute to the late, great Oscar de la Renta at San Francisco’s de Young museum, Wyatt believed Houston should stage its own showcase of the dapper designer. After all, he’d often visited our city and had clad not only Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey and every first lady of the United States—from Nancy Reagan to Michelle Obama— but also many local fashionistas, Wyatt among them. Needless to say, Tinterow agreed. Rest assured that the resulting exhibit, The Glamour and Romance of Oscar de la Renta—on view through Jan. 28—is no knock-off. Not only did de la Renta’s heirs and French label Pierre Balmain share corporate and personal archives, but some of Houston’s best-dressed denizens opened their own closets to the MFA. Each section features gorgeous garb loaned by Wyatt; former Mayor Bob Lanier’s wife, Elyse Lanier; fine arts patron Rosanette Cullen; anesthesiologist Yvonne Cormier; and former first lady Laura Bush. “He told me he had a special affection for the women of Houston because they had style and wore their clothes beautifully,” Cormier says.

  • Kiss Me Deadly by Alain Silver
    Kiss Me Deadly By Alain Silver “A savage lyricism hurls us into a world in full decomposition, ruled by the dissolute and the cruel,” wrote Raymond Borde and Etienne Chaumeton about “Kiss Me Deadly” in their seminal study “Panorama du Film Noir Américain.” “To these violent and corrupt intrigues, Aldrich brings the most radical of solutions: nuclear apoca- lypse.” From the beginning, “Kiss Me Deadly” is a true sensory explosion. In the pre- credit sequence writer A.I. Bezzerides and producer/director Robert Aldrich introduce Christina (Cloris Leachman), a woman in a trench coat, who stumbles out of the pitch darkness onto a two-lane blacktop. While her breathing fills the soundtrack with am- plified, staccato gasps, blurred metallic shapes flash by without stopping. She posi- tions herself in the center of the roadway until oncoming headlights blind her with the harsh glare of their high beams. Brakes grab, tires scream across the asphalt, and a Jaguar spins off the highway in a swirl of dust.
