A Week of Films Celebrating the Hours Between 9am and 5pm
Is it bad taste to devote a week of reviews to the wretchedness of day-jobs when millions of Americans are drowning in a broken economy of rampant joblessness? Sure. So let's jump right in!
Look, I know times are tough, but it's not like the employed are jumping for joy at their outrageous fortunes and daily feelings of spiritual fulfillment. For a lot of people, work just plain sucks. Thankfully, we have our dear friends, the movies, to pull us out of the doldrums.
So please join me for a look at four films that capture the heartache, triumph and explosive passions of the Great American Worker Bee: Office Space, The Big Kahuna, Clerks 2, and, um...Die Hard (it'll make sense later; I hope).
As always, thanks for reading!
