When the Dust Settles

Rating:

Commentary – This is an iMix I created after I divorced and started dating again at 50. The music here is up-tempo for the most part, empowering, funny, and maybe even a bit inspirational. I made it for women over 40 in mind who are finding themselves again after a long relationship. It reminds me of who I used to be, who got lost in the process of heartbreak, and who I really am on my way to re-discovering. All still standing.

Generation Ex

Rating: One of the hardest truths about divorce is that every split – no matter when it occurs – will have lifelong effects on the children caught in the crossfire.

The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce

Rating: If you grew up as a child of divorce, you may find yourself asking: Why am I so afraid of conflict? Why do I have such a fear of commitment?

Dr. Judith Wallerstein has been studying the effects of divorce on children for 25 years, but even she wasn’t expecting the findings presented here: that while children learn to cope with divorce, its greatest effects don’t emerge until adulthood

The Break Up

Rating: Funny at times, The Break-Up is a gut wrenching yet surprisingly honest story. This film is in no way a romantic comedy, as many movie-goers had initially anticipated. Instead, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston walk viewers through the stages of grief (and in some ways, torture) we put ourselves through when trying to decide whether or not a relationship is worth salvaging.

Lars and the Real Girl

Rating: Ryan Gosling plays sweet, sensitive and exceptionally shy Lars, a man who never learned how to interact with the opposite sex, in part because of his mother’s passing during birth. Through a series of events, Lars decides that he will woo his online girlfriend – who just happens to be an adult sex doll. Unpredictable, strange, lovable yet naive and innocently portrayed, Lars and The Real Girl is a must-see movie for anyone who has given up on love and romance, or for those lacking a strong sense of community.

Eternal Sunshine

Rating: This underappreciated Charlie Kaufman-penned flick flows from an ingenious premise. What if you could wipe all the memories from a relationship completely clean from your brain, so you could move on with your life as if the whole heart-wrenching experience never took place? Sounds like a fantastic idea, right? Only it doesn’t turn out to be that simple, as Eternal posits that washing our memories can’t truly cleanse a relationship from our true makeup.

High Fidelity

Rating: For anyone who’s ever been in love with a song or just plain in love comes High Fidelity. More than just funny, this well executed film moves the viewer as it amuses them. High Fidelity is filled with characters who seem quite real, contained by the great John Cusack. Cusack’s classic dry humor is intact and as enjoyable as ever. Link that with a big league soundtrack and sharp director Stephen Frears, and you have a film that is nothing short of a masterpiece.

The Squid and the Whale

Sideways

Rating: While much of this movies success can be attributed to the sublime acting, the real miracle of this gentle entry is that the Oscar-winning screenplay rings true in every emotional detail.

First Wives Club

Rating: A good-time battle-of-the-sexes satire of snappy one-liners, great physical-comedy gags and three unforgettable stars in top form.
