Oh boy. These posting days really do sneak up on me. I'm sitting, looking over my movie stand in my room, trying to muster up something interesting to write about. Hmm, I think I'll go with Now and Then. First off let me say that I love coming-of-age films/shows/books. It's so neat to compare my experiences to those being played out in whatever I'm watching or reading.
Now and Then is about a group of four women who have been best friends since they were kids. It starts out with them as adults coming together after many years to help out one of their own. After a bit of background as to where they have been and why they are with each other again, the audience is taken back to their last "kid" summer in 1970. Each of the girls have different struggles, that the others don't know about, while at the same time, they are trying to solve a terrifying mystery that took place in their town years earlier.
*On a side note, I sincerely apologize if this is more rambling and not making sense than grabbing your attention and convincing you to see this movie. Even as I'm writing it, I have a hard time believing it's a good watch. (It really is though. One of my favorites!)
The movie ends with them grown up again, and with a new sense of how the world really is; not through the eyes of a child. It stars Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Ashleigh Aston Moore, Gaby Hoffman, Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, and Rite Wilson. I don't think I've ever seen it on T.V, but the DVD is available to rent on Netflix, and is available to purchase online (and in some stores, but not many.) Don't let my horribly written recommendation keep you from enjoying this wonderful movie.
I will attempt to write an update post tomorrow.
Good night and God bless.
