Sign of the Times

Throughout the decades of cinema, some themes that pertain to life-changing events, (i.e. getting up and doing something different after a dead-end job perhaps) never change.Whether it's a story about a group of friends who work at the same computer company with 'that guy' as their boss who you'd rather throw darts at at happy hour rather than say 'yes sir' to, or a black comedy about a man who's leaves work for the night only to be swept up in a charade of dark goings-on in downtown new york, almost always have an underlying moral of 'That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' OR..'Get off your ass and live a little, douchebag!'

If you are wanting some comedy to put in your queue this week that perhaps caters to the working man/woman, the cynic, or you happen to have lived in a cave or in space since the mid-80s, please check out two of the greatest movies of all time:

The cast list: speaks for itself
David Mamet: writes
You: shit-pants with laughter
GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, 1991


And Secondly,
AFTER HOURS, 1985
Dir. Martin Scorsese,

Man, I wish Griffin Dunne was in a movie a year. He is golden.
