Hair Spray? Nancy Drew? Or Disturbia?

After Mass at St. John Bosco Church, Chief and I had a quiet dinner at Ebun Restaurant at the heart of Greenbelt 3. Chief had morcon while I had sizzling pusit. The place was not really full and service was fast and efficient. We walked around Greenbelt. Went to Powerbooks. But the book sale was no where to be found. “Mahal na ulit ang mga libro,” I told Chief.

Went up to the third level and checked out the movies. “Hairspray” was showing. We had seen John Travolta on late night programs promoting the movie. Guess, after his dancing in “Saturday Night Fever” and “Grease” nothing comes close. Maybe, we would just watch the Broadway version. Set in Baltimore during the early 60s, it follows the pursuits of stardom by Tracy Turnblad as a dancer on a local TV show and rallies against racial segregation.

“Nancy Drew.” Didn’t even know they did a movie on the fictional character. There was no star power in this movie. Suddenly, “The Hardy Boys” in Shawn Cassidy and Parker Stevenson flashed back into my mind. Emma Roberts appears as Nancy Drew Did you know that she is the daughter of Eric Roberts and niece of Julia Roberts? Pretty in this photo from the movie.


“Disturbia” was another option. The Shia LaBeouf, young hero from "Transformers" was in this movie. Out of boredom, he starts peeping out his window and is "disturbed: by what he sees with his camcorder. Carrie Ann Moss plays his mother. But Chief didn’t want a heavy suspense-filled movie. She wanted something light and relaxing. Movie poster from www.wildaboutmovies.com. So. we ended up at the Figaro Coffee Shop. Chief enjoyed her brewed coffee and magazines. Me? Just a glass of water and the Businessworld newspapers. And just watched "Enterprise" tonight.
