Deep Dive: Cameron Diaz, Comedy to Drama (Fan-Demanded version)

About this event

She hasn't been to the Phillippines but she grew up with a lot of PILIPINOS 👁️👄👁️

I think Cameron Diaz is underrated as an actor and especially as a comedianne and I'm saying this unironically. Yes, she's had the string of critically-reviled romantic comedies especially in the late 2010s that made her quit acting for a bit, but if you take a look at her filmography she did some really interesting films and/or put in great performances: In Her Shoes, My Sister's Keeper, Any Given Sunday, My Best Friend's Wedding, The Mask, Vanilla Sky, Bad Teacher, Gangs of New York, Shrek franchise, and of course the iconic Charlie's Angels films.

We're looking at what I think is 3 of her best performances and her most interesting films cuz a performance alone does not a good film make! (I also haven't seen TSAM) The fact that there are several recent memes generated from her iconic speech at the end of The Counselor ("I'm FAHMished"), the universe is telling me it's time for a deep dive. Let's do it!

I lost all hopes that Colorado will have another proper winter/fall, but it's also best to bring a jacket just in case.
