I just came back from a valentine's day movie night at Ruth and Toni's. The girls are so sweet, they baked cookies and had chips and drinks ready for us when we reached.
All the single ladies snuggled up in the TV room and watched two movies together: Sabrina and Under the Tuscan Sun. Sabrina was ok - it was a retro movie (in black and white) telling a story about a chauffeur's daughter who has been in love with the young master of the house all her life until she accidentally fell in love with the more boring but gentlemanly older brother.
Under the Tuscan Sun was great- typical hollywood movie. It was adapted from a book and has a meticulous and well-rounded plot peppered with good humour. I've never seen a movie casting Diane Lane. It was about an american writer who, being devastated after a divorce, decided to go to Tuscany in Italy for a tour. She ended up captivated by an ancient villa and decided to buy and restore it. She fell in love again, got heart-broken again but made some good friends, one of whom got married in her villa. In the end she settled down in the villa with a fellow american and it was happily ever after (as usual). The cobbled streets, architecture and great scenery formed the backdrop of the movie. I had the urge to visit Tuscany and Europe in general while watching this movie :)
Well, what a way to spend Valentine's day! Sitting back, munching chips and watching movies with a bunch of friends can be quite relaxing, I realised.
Anyway, to all friends who are missing their loved ones- Happy V day :)
