Wonderful films

We have seen two films in two days ... unheard of for us.

 

Last night we went to see Lion - I know we are a little behind on that one but we never usually go to the cinema ... that will change as we have now joined a cinema club.

We were really impressed with Lion. It was harrowing ... thinking of the lives those poor children living on the streets. I thought the cinematography was fabulous and the little boy was a superb actor.  We haven't seen any of the Oscar winners so I have no idea what the other films were like but I can't believe this didn't win oscars.

Today we went to see Beauty and the Beast and it was terrific. It is one of my favourite animated films and I was worried about how it would translate to live action. I was thrilled. I thought it was a truly beautiful film - just lovely. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. And the cinema was almost empty.

 

So no scrapping time today - but I do have new scrapping to share made a few days ago.

 

 

We loved the barns we saw and I wanted to record them.

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• wonderful films to enjoy
• cut hair ... it'll grow :(

Hey, Karen, I got my hair cut today, too!! First day of spring, you know. :-)
I went to a school of cosmetology to get my hair done. A student does the hair cut and an instructor comes around and checks up on how they are doing throughout the process. It costs $11. I got a great cut for a great price.
It seems Steve and I don't actually go to the theater very often to watch movies. We like to checkout the dvds (there is a store just a block from our home that I can walk to and check out the movies) and watch at home, so I can stop the film when I need a bathroom break or snack. ;-)
I watched "Manchester By the Sea". I can understand why Casey Affleck got the Oscar. He really was outstanding. But I prefer movies which are historic or entertaining. Not sad and hopeless.
I also checked out "Hacksaw Ridge". What an inspiring story!! Really, really amazing. I know it only had a few nominations, but I just held my breath through the whole thing!
We did go to the theater to see "Hidden Figures". We really enjoyed it.
I would like to see "Florence Foster Jenkins" and "Jackie".
Happy Spring!! I'm so glad it's finally here :-D
