Date Night in Paris

The other night, my handsome hubby and I went out on a date. We still like to date as much as possible and with the budget woes, our dates have been less often than we would like. But when I we decided that it was time for us, well we decided to go to the movies.

Then it was time to look up the local theater and see what was playing these days. While you certainly hear about big movies (well, those aimed at my son, for example), what do you really hear about some of the other movies listed?

Thor? No, not ready for that big action movie for a date...

The Hangover or Bridesmaids? Nah, they are movies for guys or gals to go to, but not together!

Super 8? Probably too scary for me...

Kung Fu Panda or Judy Moody? Too young.

X-Men? Getting old.

So what's left on the list? "Midnight in Paris," the new Woody Allen-directed movie. Now, anything with Paris in the title excites me to begin with, for you see that's where we spent our honeymoon and I have such a yen to go back.

And, that's what this movie did for me. The opening is just an homage to all that is the beauty of the City of Lights. All the lovely countryside, the museums, the feel of the city was perfectly captured. I felt this movie was a love story about the city more that a love story for the characters. Paris was the lover and Owen Wilson was smitten.

So was I. With my hubby, on a date night... in Paris.
