Movie choices this weekend

Vaguely frustrating: the cast and crew of The Silver Lining Playbook starring in Joy, which is not a sequel thereto. It is instead a woman-power sort-of biopic about a lady who invented a better mop.

Outright angry-making but educational: The Big Short, detailing the ways and means by which Wall Street screwed over the economy, starring some of my favorite hot guys and funny men.

Repetitive but fun but expensive: a second viewing of The Force Awakens because sometimes only 3D will do.
