Oh The Things Ive Seen

Oh The Things I’ve Seen This year’s #IAParty2011 wouldn’t have been complete without a ton of movies, tv shows, and plays to fill my visual cortex! As such, here is a complete listing of all the moving picture shows I’ve viewed in the last month. (Warning: Hold on to your socks) TV Shows: Southland House Lie to Me Bones Men of a Certain Age The Game Meet the Browns Numb3rs Law and Order: SVU Detroit 1-8-7 Greys Anatomy George Lopez No Ordinary Family Big Bang Theory Bad Girls Club (think Jersey Shore but with no guys) Two and a Half Men Law and Order: SVU The Real Housewives of Atlanta Dexter The Defenders NOVA Making Stuff: Smaller Modern Family Sister, Sister Movies: Alex Haley’s ROOTS For Colored Girls Booty Call Takers The Town Angels Demons The Godfather Death at a Funeral The Matrix Our Song Carmen Jones (the real one not the random Beyonce musical remake) Father of Lies (the loooowest budget film I think I have ever seen) Vantage Point Plays: Madea’s Big Happy Family (via dvd) Neighbors by the Company One Troupe (live at the Boston Center for the Arts) Performances: Savion Glover: Solo in Time (live at the Boston Opera House) I also got a chance to take a seminar during the last week of IAP in which we discussed stereotypes and biases in the media and on film. These films were both feature films, commercials, documentaries, and recorded speeches. So of course they added to my lovely list of visuals for the month. Some films we only saw clips of and others we saw most/all of but here they all are: Slaying the Dragon The Cheat Bitter Tea of General Yen Auntie Mame How Hollywood Stereotyped the Native Americans Birth of a Nation King Kong (1939) 100 Years of Lynching Ethnic Notions The Terminator Die Hard Gone with the Wind Reel Bad Arabs The Bronze Screen West Side Story Sayonara Giant Saving Face Smoke Signals Zoot Suit American Me The Great Debaters Killing Me Softly III: A Look at Women in Advertisement Platinum Blonde Some Like It Hot Public Enemy 9 to 5 Gloria Thunder Heart Erin Brockovich What’s Love Got to Do With It?
