It’s about that time again where we dig into the crates of all our movie viewing hours to find scenes, plots and characters that stood out for one reason or another.
The theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme is inspired by some upcoming news that I will be sharing with you all very soon: The Big Apple.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies that were filmed (in whole or in part) and set in New York City. Here are my selections for this week’s The Big Apple theme.
Big Words
Shocking skeletons come out of the closet when a group of friends from a once-promising hip-hop group get together on the night of the 2008 Presidential election, in this indie drama starring Gbenga Akinnagbe and Dorian Missick. The film was made in Brooklyn, New York.
Friends with Benefits
A large portion of this romantic comedy starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake was shot in New York City. The film is about two people whose friendship gets complicated after they add sex to the equation.
Although “Friends with Benefits” is also set in the Big Apple, the Grand Central Station scenes in this movie are said to have been filmed at Union Station in Los Angeles.
The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete
A young boy is left to fend for himself and friend when his mother is arrested, in this drama starring Skylan Brooks, Ethan Dizon and Jennifer Hudson and filmed at the Ingersoll housing projects in Brooklyn, New York.
