A new week has begun. I've been binge-watching and reading and trying to catch up on movies.
The Girl on the Train is an adaptation of the book by the same name. Emily Blunt plays Rachel, a divorced woman who rides the train to and from Manhattan daily. On her commute, she observes a couple who, in her mind, epitomize the happiest of relationships. It so happens that the house in which they live is a few doors down from the house she used to inhabit with her ex-husband. He still lives there, with his new wife (Anna) and baby daughter. One day, Rachel sees the woman (Meghan) kissing a man who is not her husband. Rachel, who is also an alcoholic, tries to confront Meghan for shattering the perception Rachel had of Meghan's marital relationship. When Meghan goes missing, Rachel wakes up bloody in her bed, but she can't remember any events that would explain her state. Many good actors also starred in this film, including Haley Bennett, Rebecca Ferguson and Justin Theroux. It was really good. I had forgotten the ending, and it was a nice ride til the end.
On the Basis of Sex is based on the true story of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the cases that she won early in her career. These cases were among those that eventually garnered her nomination and confirmation as a Supreme Court Justice. Felicity Huffman plays RBG, Armie Hammer plays Martin Ginsberg. Incidentally, the movie was written by RBG's nephew. I really liked this film.
MK out.
