#NaBloPoMo Day 14 - Trolls Movie

What did I know of Trolls?  It was an animated movie with Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake.  Not much really.  I vaguely remember Anna Kendrick on a late night talk show talking about her role but I didn't think much of it.  An animated movie for kids, so what?

Then when my niece asked me to take her to the movie Trolls, of course, I said "Yes".  What auntie wouldn't especially knowing that I probably only had a few more years when she would actually ask me before her pre-teens and then she would be too cool to spend time with me.  Even more so because she was the youngest and knew that I wasn't really her "auntie" instead I was "Mom's friend who hangs out at the house a LOT."  Hmm, interesting translation.

Anyways, I love those "Auntie Days" when I can spend time with her and make her happy and spoil her.  So I don't need to know anything about a movie except for the fact that my niece wanted to go.  Sometimes that's the best part when you don't know anything because then you can be pleasantly surprised.  

And surprised I was.  Trolls are such positive and happy creatures and I never knew that happiness could be spread through singing and dancing and hugging.  With colours of the rainbow that light up the roads.  There are so many feel good moments in Trolls and the best part is never hearing Justin Timberlake sing until the very end, and when he sings it is soo good.  I loved Anna Kendrick's character Poppy because she is so bright and filled with positive energy.  

All in all even though this is a kids movie and if you are going to watch it in the theatre, you better have the patience for kids.  Otherwise wait until it comes out on DVD.  It's best enjoyed with a niece or two.  Watching Trolls with my niece was the highlight of my weekend.   I didn't watch any movie trailers but hey maybe you want to.  Don't forget to SING, DANCE, and HUG like TROLLS!

Vancouver Event: Cineplex Community Day

Hello Vancity Girlfriends,

I wanted to share a family friendly Community Event that is taking place at different Cineplex locations on Saturday, October 18th in the morning.  It's called Cineplex Community Day and there will be free movies at Scotiabank Theatre downtown Vancouver and Silvercity Metropolis in Burnaby.

Now normally for family movies, there are animation films but there is one movie that caught my eye because it would be fun to watch on the big screen since it is an action packed movie.  I've seen the movie before at home and it surprised me because I didn't expect the story and plot to be so well thought out.  Often I avoid watching movie trailers because I want it to be a surprise but if you want to know what Divergent is all about, take a look at the movie trailer for this science fiction action movie below.  

Divergent will be showing at 10am on Saturday, October 10th in Burnaby and Vancouver and well worth the FREE movie.  All proceeds of the concession items, some will be $2, will go towards Free the Children charity.  

Now I know that those on the east coast, like my cousin, who lives in Boston may be jealous because we are lucky enough here on the west coast to have a Cineplex Community Day.  

Vancity Buzz Website:  They have a good synopsis of all of the movies that are playing for free on Saturday, October 18th.
