Nation's Capital features prominently in three Best Picture nominees.
Three Academy Award nominees for Best Picture prominently feature Washington, DC: Argo, Zero Dark Thirty and, of course, Lincoln. While serving as a location for major films is nothing new to Washington, DC, I can't think of another year in which so many DC-centric movies have been nominated. The Washington Post described each movie as "an engrossing, superbly crafted story that plunges viewers into otherwise opaque and unknowable worlds made distant by time, secrecy or both" and believe film attendees will be pleased that the films "enthusiastically celebrate institutions more often mired in dysfunction and public malodor." Argo, the Ben Affleck-directed tale of a CIA mission to rescue Americans caught up in the 1979 Iranian hostage …

Finding common ground on family movie night.
Lately I have been pondering how to share the movies and TV that I loved as a kid with my own children without seeming so… well… dated. Now that my children are old enough to justify family movie nights at home, I find myself longing to snuggle up on the couch as Fraulein Maria and the Von Trapp children belt out “My Favorite Things. Meanwhile, my kids are begging for the latest in CGI. While I enjoy Pixar films and had to see the new Muppet movie in the theater, I also want to revisit the classics I've watched over and over again, and—more importantly—I want my kids to watch and love them, too. I remember my mom introducing my sisters and me to The Parent Trap (with Haley Mills, not Lindsay Lohan) and spending a whole summer singing “Let…

Let’s drive the DeLorean on a 1980s nostalgia trip.
When I was casting around for fun things to do this past weekend, two of my friends suggested seeing Terry Gilliam’s "Time Bandits" (1981), which was showing at Silver Spring’s AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Center as part of its 1980s retrospective: "Totally Awesome 5: Great Films of the 1980s." It's AFI's fifth annual 1980s film festival — hence that number five in the series title. AFI is offering some good choices, including "The Sure Thing" (1985), "Stand by Me" (1986), and "The Princess Bride" (1987). The series offers a great chance to see some classic films on the big screen again, and indeed, we got to see Terry Gilliam’s rollicking time travel epic on the biggest AFI screen. This idea of time travel got me going on a 1980s …
