This post is about a topic very close to my heart. MOVIE NIGHT! lol Yes family movie night gals!!! This used to be a sacred thing in my household as a child. My Dad used to take me and my favorite cousin to Chuck E. Cheese and the movies all the time. Of course we went other places often, but these two places were our fave. My Dad is like every one's favorite uncle. He takes the kids out for ice cream and Chuck E. Cheese and all that! He's super nice and more than generous. A real gem bc not even a quarter of the black men I have come in contact with do half as much as my father. I commend him and although he and my mother got divorced when I was very young, he has been there for real y'all.
(((claps loud for my Poppa)))
Anyhoo, last weekend we went to the movies with the kids and my sissy and her baby boy, Caiden. We have also done movies as a family in the house on many occasion. I got to thinking "hmmmmmmm... maybe we can make this a habit and create a tradition like when I was small".....
LIGHT BULB! Of course!
Okay, so I will be doing little mini recaps of the night each week and giving my take on the family oriented movie that we all saw. This past Saturday we saw Monsters University (see preview below). Such a good prequel to the first. I especially like that the ending wasn't the cookie cutter, expected happy ending, but a realistic take on what you can do if "Plan A" in your life falls through. Disney did good with this one! Mike and Sully really pulled together at the end and made their dreams come true with hard work and dedication (won't give it away lol). Also the new, funny characters were cute and all around lovable. My favorite was the older guy who was a sales rep (his name escapes me). He was an older monster who didn't look very scary, so he used his brain to make a living until he was downsized and went back to school to learn a new trade. Very relevant and realistic take on a cartoon character. The colors were bright and you know it was funny! A++
Sometimes there may not be a family oriented movie in theatres so we may rent one and do home movie night! And some movies maybe older ones from when I was little! This will be great. (claps in excitement) Now that I have the free time (with the broken ankle and all, will post about that topic later) I will spend it in the best ways possible and what better way than spending it with my Dad and his grand babies, my kids! :)
'Til next week!
