Night at the Theatre 2

Night at the Theatre 2

So I just came back from the seeing White Christmas and my expectations were definitely exceeded and the theatre experience was way better than I thought it was going to be.  It was very different going into a small theatre and watching a very old movie because I’ve never really done that before. I mean I’ve seen some old classics but not with the atmosphere included.  It was very cold and actually snowing a little (how convenient since I was going to see the movie White Christmas).  I was actually excited to see how this experience was going to pan out!

I walked up to the theatre and I could already tell that it was old fashion because they only took cash! Which got me a little irritated because then I had to walk in the cold to the ATM at the Allamo ll and get cash. Once I got cash and bought my ticket, I entered the cute little theatre. It was much cleaner and newer than I thought it was going to be, but I was surprised to find out that there was only one theatre! It was definitely a breathe of fresh air to be in such a different environment. They explained before the movie that phones were highly restricted, as if it was a death threat. I thought that was a little funny because I cant go a second without looking at my phone, but I managed for a few hours. So experiencing the theatre was definitely fun, but I was more excited for the movie.

When the lights went down and the curtain up, the show finally started.  I thought it was so cute that before the movie, they played a little cartoon skit. The cartoons were from when I was a baby and it brought back so many memories! That definitely put me in such a good mood. So once the movie started I already had a smile on my face. The movie started and I instantly wasn’t used to the filming and or the sets because they looked kind of fake, but the acting was funny and cheerful. The movie was adorable because 2 men, Phil Davis and Bob Wallace, left the army to go Broadway and later teamed up with 2 beautiful women in the same business, Betty and Judy Haynes, to try and save their general’s beloved inn. The movie was filled with romance, drama, and my favorite; dancing and singing. At the end they end up putting on a phenomenal performance and save the inn!

Night at the Theatre 1

            Tonight I’m going to see the movie White Christmas! I'm actually very excited to see this because Christmas isn’t that far away and it’s just another reason to get into the Christmas spirit! I also can’t wait to go inside the normal theatre.  I decided to wait until December to do this movie project because I believe classic Christmas movies are the best. They have such a lovely touch to them and they’re very romantic. I believe seeing movies and how they used to be filmed is very important because it gives you a little bit of a taste on how the society used to be. It also gives you a break on all the other movies coming out, which seem like they are all the same. 

My opinion right now on the theatre that I will be going to watch this movie at, is kind of old and boring because they play movies that are old and kind of boring. Although I might have the wrong expectation, I will see tonight. I do like the fact that the made this theatre because it puts a classy touch on the Illinois State University campus. It reminds us of the past and how film making used to be.  I asked many of my friends if they have ever been to it just to get a little bit of an actual opinion on this before I went in with wrong expectations, but no one that I know has been there!  I'm excited to go and see what its all about so I can pass it on to my friends.

            Now for the movie, I did some research and I think its going to be really good. In the movie there’s singing, dancing, romance, and a do or die plot. Two dancing acts, 2 boys and 2 girls, fall in love with each other in hopes of dancing and singing their way to saving the Vermont inn. I’m excited to find out how they are going to save the inn and why it needs to be saved. I also want to find out how the dancers fall in love! My favorite movies are dancing and romantic films, so I should definitely like it. I'm glad we got assigned this project because I believe it will open up my horizons and have me think about classic movies in a different way.  

My Thanksgiving break

So my break was pretty awesome because I did absolutely NOTHING! Hahah it was the best. The first day I got back I went to go see harry potter! It was such a good movie but the ending sucked because I wanted to know what was going to happen! The next day I took a bikram yoga class and I can tell I was so out of shape because I could barely handle the heat (thanks a lot college).  The I met up with some of my good friends and we went tanning and I got a much needed pedicure J.  The next day Sunday was definitely the best day over break. I visited my dance studio and sat in on their dance rehearsal.  They all got so good and im so incredibly jealous of all their dances this year because they’re so sick! The dance im most jealous of is their Lady Gaga dance. Oh my god, the choreography is genius and the props are going to be amazing! Ughh I wish I was still on my dance team. I also got to see all my old friends and spend some quality time. We all spent days catching up on each other’s lives.  All my friends had such funny stories from each college. It felt good talking with my friends from home. It reminded me of my high school years, and how fun those years used to be. Besides that the rest of the week consisted of me being incredibly lazy.  I missed being home and having my mom make me breakfast every morning. I also missed my family and on thanksgiving we all talked about how thankful we were that we were all together and healthy on thanksgiving. After that, we all got into our shopping modes and went out black Friday and shopped til we dropped lol. I was a really good break but now I cant wait to get finals done with so I can go home again!
