The theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme is based on today’s signups opening for a Spring Blogathon that I’m Co-Hosting -- the 2014 Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge. Given the grand scale of this annual online event (founded by Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out), the Co-Hosts are seeking minions/helpers to assist us with the behind the scenes grunt work that goes into managing such a popular blogathon that stretches across seas. So if you are game for visiting an extra ten to twenty blogs per week and help with the general promotion of the challenge, or know a blogger who might be up to the task, let me know. Now, let’s talk movies: Picking Teams.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring people assembling teams to complete one important, urgent or complex task. Maybe a group is looking to add someone to their team. Maybe there is a person or pair of people who are trying to assemble a team for something big. Whatever the case is, the situation clearly calls for more hands on deck. Here are my selections for this week’s Picking Teams theme.
Ocean’s Eleven
A career criminal gathers his friends to rob Vegas casinos in this comedy starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and the late Bernie Mac.
Armageddon
N.A.S.A and the U.S. Military assembles a group of blue collar and white collar workers to save the planet in this sci-fi action movie starring Bruce Willis Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thorton and Liv Tyler.
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Hobbits, an Elf, a Dwaf, two men and a Wizard join together in a fight against evil in this adventure fantasy movie starring Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen.
