Midnight in Paris

Caroline — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 18:43:19 +0000

You must see Woody Allen’s newest film, Midnight in Paris. If you have ever been to Paris or want to go, this movie is a must. A romantic comedy about a family traveling to the French capital for business. The party includes a young engaged couple forced to confront the illusion that a life different from their own is better. It stars Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. Here is a little more about the movie:

“Gil and Inez travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents’ business trip. Gil is a struggling writer and falls in love with the city and thinks they should move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. Gil’s daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he’s about to marry.”

The New York Times wrote a great historical piece on the movie. Watch the trailer here.

For the Love of Harry

Here I am at 12:20am waiting on the Harry Potter movie to start! It took major convincing from my daughter Stuart to get me here. She had to bribe her little sister Beau with doing chores, front seat rights just to name a few. I love Harry and secretly I am excited. All around us are teens in black, tattoos, and LOTS of red bull being sold. There are parents of course but we are out numbered. The best is when we were headed to the car my sweet Beau grabbed my noise reduction headphones that I use on long flights…she is planning on getting some sleep!

Where have I been?

I just went to Zia Taqueria and what I want to know is where have I been? Que Bueno! It was so good! So I have to come from Mt. Pleasant. Big deal. It was really good and the margarita is not just the nasty mix you get at so many places. Go for the Patron. It’s fabulous! Then on to the movies two doors down. Cyrus…we will see.

The things you’ll do…

It’s incredible what the love of your children can make you do. Tonight I sit in a parking lot, in an old beach chair, and it is 12am! I am here seeing Eclipse. Who cares about vampires anyway? It’s fun watching my 12 year old and her friend try and fight being sleepy. I am fighting sleep by writing this blog. My girlfriend Shannon had a thought…maybe we are coming at this all wrong? Maybe we should look around for a hot vampire to bite our necks so we can look younger! Ugh…no…I don’t want it THAT badly. Pray for rain…I am ready to go to bed.

The Young Victoria

I saw this movie last night and loved it. The Young Victoria is described as a ”dramatization of the turbulent first years of Queen Victoria’s rule, and her enduring romance with Prince Albert.” Emily Blunt, who plays Victoria, has received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. The costumes are out of this world. Below are some of my favorites. It’s a must see movie!
