Where and with whom did you see the movie?<\/B><\/p>\n
I saw the movie at Kahala with my best friend Donalyn Dela Cruz.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
Overall what did you think?<\/B><\/p>\n
I liked it. It was a little slow-paced compared to other movies, but I think that may have almost been the whole point. In this technology age, the movie reminds us to reconnect with the people around us on a personal level.<\/p>\n
Without giving away the ending, what was one of your favorite scenes?<\/B><\/p>\n
My favorite scene was the ending. It seemed slightly contrived, but then again, I was crying like a baby so it obviously got to me.<\/p>\n
On a scale of one to four stars, what would you rate this film?<\/B><\/p>\n
\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n
What did you think of the cinematography?<\/B><\/p>\n
The style gave a quasi home-movie feel at times with micro-bursts of quick zoom in many scenes. Personally not my favorite type of cinematography, but for the purpose of the film it was appropriate and complementary to the story-line.<\/p>\n
To whom would you recommend this movie?<\/B><\/p>\n
Those who enjoy dialogue in a movie and don’t need a lot of action.<\/p>\n
Did any of the actors stand out?<\/B><\/p>\n
I don’t think any one actor stole the spotlight, but I really liked Rae Dawn Chong, who plays Carol. Her acting was very authentic and genuine, the type of person I would want as a friend.<\/p>\n
Did you identify with any of the characters?<\/B><\/p>\n
Absolutely. I think I identified a little with each character. The characters were very real and dealt with “real-life” problems. Each character was searching for purpose and happiness. Don’t we all?<\/p>\n
What’s your favorite movie snack?<\/B><\/p>\n
Sour Patch Kids and Icee, but I’m trying to cut down on my sugar intake, so we got popcorn and mochi crunch instead.<\/p>\n
On a different note, what’s new with you?<\/B><\/p>\n
I launched SurferGirlJewelry.com in December, and have been really enjoying the creative process of designing and making beach-inspired jewelry. We’re looking at the Japanese market and hoping to make a trip later this year.<\/p>\n
I’m newly certified as a meteorologist and also newly wed. We made a big move to the Big Island last year, and I’ve been commuting to and from work on Oahu racking up the Hawaiian miles!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
