That's the Ticket!

Tonight I decided to take in a movie by myself since over the past year I have sometimes felt that I don't get to the movies quite as often as I would like. I think that most people in the entertainment industry would agree that if you want to be a part of what's out there in the world of showbiz, it's best to familiarize yourself with it. So that's how I justify going to see a movie as part of my Broadway By 30 Blog. Yes, I wish it were more exciting, but unfortunately due to other circumstances, (i.e. my day job) this was all that I really had time to arrange for myself.

Even though my focus right now is more on performing on stage than on screen, as I am a woman, I always try to jump on the chance at seeing movies or plays, etc. which contain strong and interesting female characters who are played by strong and interesting actresses. Woody Allen's flick Vicky Christina Barcelona seemed up to the task. I am a big fan of his movies and always enjoy watching his latest muse, the lovely and abundantly talented Scarlett Johansson, light up the screen. Watching skilled actresses such as Scarlett Johannsen, Rebecca Hall, Penelope Cruz and Patricia Clarkson inspire me to continue doing what I'm doing. Besides, as neurotic and flawed as Allen's world usually is, who doesn't like a bit of an escape into another world every now and again?

I enjoyed the film very much - actually it was a perfect film to go to alone. I like going to the movies by myself every now and again. There just seems to be something so New York about it....as New York as Woody Allen.
