Overboard
Let's enjoy a remake of a film that I'm tired of seeing play on my television every other weekend. In this new take on the classic with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, a Mexican playboy named Leonardo is spoiled, rich, and selfish, and in need of a maid to help clean his yacht, which he finds in the way of Kate, a single, over-worked mom. After falling off the side of his ship and coming down with a case of amnesia, Kate visits him in the hospital and decides to get her payback by convincing him he's her husband and making him help out with the work. You're familiar with the story, so just settle in for the laughs.

The Guardians
It's the beginning of the Great War in France, and surprisingly this might mean it's time for another sector of the Feminist Movement to come to the forefront. With all of the men at war, the women are left to take care of the farm and run the household in equal measure, helping them to realize just how strong they really can be, although it is overwhelming from the get go. As the men go off to fight or go into insanity, neither possibility seemingly having any sense of how one would return from it, the women are faced with asking themselves what they will do next.
