THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

Erin Brockovich, 2000

THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION!!!
Julia Roberts-- Albert Finney






Director: Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen, The Informant!)


Stars: Julia Roberts, Albert Finney, David Brisbin









Erin Brockovich (Roberts), a legal assistant, discovers that a power company is polluting the area's water supply, and hundreds are getting sick and even dying because of it.  She investigates the situation and tries to take down the guilty company.

All in all, I enjoyed this movie.  I both loved and hated Erin and her harsh and sweet personality.  This is definitely a drama, but the ending is very satisfying.  She does wear very revealing, trashy clothing, and everybody's language is pretty awful, but besides that, good movie!  :)

NOTE: The real Erin Brockovich actually has a cameo- she plays the waitress in the restaurant in the beginning!
