8/27/18, Fun Movie
Hi Everyone,
I hope you’re enjoying these last days of the summer
I went to a fun movie last night with one of my daughters—-another daughter had read the book and loved it. I had seen a trailer for the movie, which didn’t seem too exciting, and didn’t do it justice, but I went to the movie anyway, to enjoy an evening with a daughter. I rarely get time to go to the movies with them, they work hard and are busy, and when I travel to their cities to see them, I want to spend the evening talking to them, and catching up on their news, not sit in a dark theater—-besides which, we’re all often so tired from working that we fall asleep in a movie theater!! Last year, a whole group of us went to a show when we were in Las Vegas together—–and the entire row of us fell asleep!!! It must be a family trait!! But we didn’t fall asleep at the movie last night—-we loved it!!!
We went to one of the fancy new movie houses with reclining seats (and we were joking about how fast we’d fall asleep in big comfortable seats in the dark!!!) We got popcorn, candy, a pretzel, soda, and all the snacks we could carry, and I was quite startled to see that by state law, all the food sold at the concession states how many calories they are!!! Ugh, if I’m going to indulge myself at a movie, I’d rather not know, but I can see the value of warning people of their calorie intake as a precaution for their health. Since I don’t get to the movies very often since I write at night, the calorie listing was new to me.
The movie we saw was “Crazy Rich Asians”, and I loved it. Lots of fun, good dialogue, good characters, the movie took place in Singapore, Shanghai, and was a romantic story. I won’t tell you how it turned out, but I had a great time, loved the movie, and would see it again in a flash. Since I see most movies on planes when I travel, I hope it turns up on the airplanes soon so I can see it again. So if you are looking for a fun movie to celebrate the end of summer, go see it before life gets busier again after Labor Day. Have a great week!!
love, Danielle

I’ve seen it twice so far and loved it! (also would happily go again). I’m obsessed with the soundtrack as well. Great cast. Delightful picture all around.
WONDERFUL! I SEE THAT ONE OF THE CAST OF THAT MOVIE IS A DAUGHTER OF A FORMER PRESIDENT. KRIS AQUINO, SHE IS A FILIPINO. A VERY POPULAR TELEVISION HOST, AND ACTRESS IN MY HOME COUNTRY, THE PHILIPPINES. NICE TO HEAR YOU ARE ENJOYING IT, MISS DANIELLE! GOD BLESS! 🙂
