February Chick Flick Club Night

Sometimes a table to myself at Panera is just what I need (albeit, not such a large one):

And then there are other times, like when Chick Flick Club night rolls around, that this is a sight for sore eyes:

A table full of friends ready for a good chat, some good coffee, and a trip over to the movie theater for a good Chick Flick.


The Chick Flick Club stuck with Panera Bread for our pre-movie refreshments. No waiting, no reservations (hard when you don't always know who will show up), no big bill, no tips. I settled on my favorite cafe mocha and a pecan roll, while a few other girls chose to go the dinner route. We had over an hour to catch up, laugh, and have some girl talk before Panera closed its doors.


It was perfection.


A few more friends met up with us at the movie.

I bet the people behind us loved my camera's flash and my enthusiasm over the Sex and the City 2 trailer.


I'm not sorry.


Our pick for February?


Valentine's Day, of course! It reminded me a lot of Love Actually, which is a fave of mine (Hugh Grant dancing across the Prime Minister's home??! Priceless).


Valentine's Day isn't as smooth as Love Actually, but it has some sweet and funny moments. It's also packed with star power: Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, Patrick Dempsey, Jennifer Garner, Bradley Cooper, and so on.


I've only seen Ashton Kutcher in That 70s Show and in a small part in Cheaper By the Dozen. He does physical comedy pretty well, but I wasn't expecting much from him in this role. I was pleasantly surprised! He was very likeable, especially in his scenes with his on-screen pal, Jennifer Garner.


Several of the storylines were very touching...I won't give away any details. There were also a few hilarious outtakes at the end. Worth staying in your seat for an extra minute or two!


A good pick!



I don't have the slightest clue what we'll be seeing in March, but here are some trailers of movies I want to see soon!



And of course this one!!



And this will require its own separate post, of course:

{Have you seen any good movies lately?}
