Barbie

 

We went to see "Barbie" yesterday with Amanda, Tom and the girls. It was playing to a full house at the Barnyard in Winthrop, a small but surprisingly deluxe rural cinema, beloved by the community for obvious reasons. 

The large windows frame a view of the mountains as you wait for the room to darken and the screen to descend. There's popcorn and the usual concessions, along with craft beer and wine, cushy reclining seats and plenty of elbow room.  What's not to like?

Anyway, isn't it nice when a movie exceeds your expectations. Barbie? Really? It was delightful, and everyone laughed through the entire thing-- a clever plot and excellent acting. After that, we all went out for pizza at at East 20, another Winthrop landmark.

So that ends this visit. We're packing up early and getting out of Dodge before all that heavy equipment comes to life.
