Baby, The Stars Shine Bright
Tonight Yvonne and I decided to have a movie night. We got cheese pizza from Tony's, caesar salad, sodas and had homemade popcorn, red vines, raisinettes and twix for snacks. Total movie food. We started with drive-in advertisements and a cartoon before the main feature. After we ate we even played the "lets all go to lobby" cartoon when we made snacks. Lots of fun.
The main feature was Kamikaze Girls. This movie is the most fun I have had so far this year. The storytelling was fun and entertaining, the characters were great and the music was perfect for this film.
"Momoko is an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life. Ordinary, that is, if you define ordinary as wearing elaborate lolita dresses from the Rococo period in 18th Century France. A complete fish out of water in her rural and sleepy Japanese town, where everyone buys their clothes (and everything else) at the same store and no one understands her, Momoko's life is one of sugared sweets and frilly treats. Desperate to make some money to pay for her expensive indulgence, Momoko tries selling bootleg Ver*ace and Uni*ersal Studios clothes left over from her Dad's yakuza (gangster) days. However, when punk girl and self-styled 'Yanki' Ichiko comes calling, her days as 'ordinary' are most certainly numbered... Road movie, buddy comedy, deeply insightful and surprisingly touching, the surreal world only further highlights the all too real friendship that brings these two unlikely girls together."
We are going to try to do movie night at least once a week because we had so much fun. If you can check this movie out, you won't be disappointed.
