Showing results for "Blockbusters" in Social Sciences

At Blockbusters and Birdwalks, you’ll listen to reviews and conversations about all kinds of movies, from Academy Award winners to exploitation masterpieces with a mix of commercial hits and obscure favorites thrown in for good measure. The point is recognizing that movies present our culture with the building blocks of social memory, enabling each of us to enjoy ourselves because movies are fun.

Once a week, Jill Collister will meet with various broken-hearted warriors, hear their stories AND talk about the movie that got them through. A lot of movie review, a little bit of self-help and a sprinkling of comedy, Broken-Hearted Blockbuster has something for everyone.

The best movies start with the phrase "based on a true story" on screen. Join Mike the media executive, Michael the actor, and Jonathan Michael the marketer as they pitch movies based on lesser known headlines. If you're a movie buff who wants to explore piecing together blockbusters from facts, get your popcorn and sit back for Below the Fold Blockbuster.
