WIFE with Kids: “Camp Nowhere”

THE WIFE with Kids: Camp Nowhere

 

“Camp Nowhere” is the perfect summer movie rental for THE WIFE with Kids.  The movie kicks off at the end of the school year, young Morris “Mud” Himmel and his friends are unceremoniously packed off by their parents to summer camps that specialize in computer programming, military training, or calorie counting. However, this summer Morris and his clever cohorts have determined to create their own vacation haven. And with help from out-of-work high school drama teacher Dennis Van Welker (Christopher Lloyd) — who passes himself off to each of the kids’ parents as the owner of different phony theme camps — the kids fabricate an elaborate scheme to take control of their summer.

With no counselors, no rules or parental supervision, calamity prevails as the teens turn a rented group of dilapidated cabins near a leech-filled lake into the wildest, video game-filled, junk food eating and unencumbered summer camp a parent would never allow his kids to attend; in short — the best camp in the world. Available for purchase on Amazon.com for $9.99. – THE WIFE™

WIFE Movie Night: Iris

Iris Apfel Documentary

The latest film from legendary documentarian Albert Maysles (“Grey Gardens” and “Gimme Shelter”) IRIS pairs the late filmmaker (who passed away on March 5) with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades.

More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. IRIS portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life’s sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression. “I feel lucky to be working. If you’re lucky enough to do something you love, everything else follows.” The perfect WIFE Movie Night to bring out your inner fashionista. Currently in select theaters now.
