The Women

So I got together to see “The Women” with some fun chicks. I only found out today that it’s a remake and was just shown on TMC the other day…damn the bad luck for missing it.

I loved the movie, although I think it’s more a chick-flick than anything else. I have to say that the actresses chosen for the characters fit them well. I also have to say that it was so nice to see Jada Pinket-Smith in an unusual role. She played it to perfection. I love Annette Benning, more than Meg Ryan, although she seemed to suit her role, but Annette is in a class by herself. She dresses up and dresses down well.

I left the movie thinking about my girlfriends and how lucky I am to have them in my life. The unusual thing is that I have about eight to ten really tight girlfriends that I admire and love. How lucky is that? If you have one or two, you’re doing good. And although there is a couple at the top of the list, to have a list at all is pretty rare.

Yea, I piss and moan about the bad things going on, and I usually have some serious family issues pressing down, but how lucky am I to have good friends to lean on. To know that I can pick up the phone and they’ll listen to me, help me out, help me hide the bodies, provide an alibi, etc.

Ya know, I think I’m going to plan an evening honoring the wonderful women in my life and invite them all for some fun, food, alcohol and gossip. This means I’ll have to clean my house again…Uhhgg.
