News Flash!!! 📸 “Crazy Rich Asians” is now the biggest romantic comedy hit film…in three years!!!
This delightful movie centers around Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), an economics professor from New York…who is dating Nick Young (Henry Golding), also a professor.
When Chinese American, Rachel…goes to Nick’s family home in Singapore… She discovers that he comes from great family wealth… –and- he’s considered one of the country’s most eligible bachelors!

After dating a year… Rachel & Nick step into the spotlight… and quite a bit of chaos when they attend Nicks best friends wedding.
Hold Up‼️🖐🏽
When I tell you this is “THE” most ✨spectacular✨ wedding that I have EVER seen in my ENTIRE LIFE….
✨You Better BELIEVE IT!✨
Never in my wildest DREAMS… could I have imagined anything so BEAUTIFUL!!!! It was
✨✨BREATHTAKING!!!✨✨
The fabulous Singapore event is just one of the memorable factors in this storyline that is simply charming and funny!
Most definitely a FEEL GOOD movie… it a culturally enriching masterpiece… that should not be missed! How gratifying to see that people from all races… and nationalities are connecting to a GOOD STORY… and not a presentation with people who ONLY look like them! #Yay! for #diversity & #inclusion again!
Another special feature of this film.. is it sparks your desire to TRAVEL! The glamorous depiction of Singapore will definitely give tourism a boost! I’m certainly ready for a scenic adventure! ✈️ 👍🏽🎏🎎
“Crazy Rich Asians” is the first Hollywood film in 25 years… that puts an Asian-American story in the spotlight… with an ALL ASIAN CAST. The last big success was “The Joy Luck Club” in 1993.
The movie is based on a best-selling novel 👇🏽
Kevin Kwan published ” Crazy Rich Asians in 2013…
Kwan was immediately approached by a producer.. who wanted to take the project to the Big Screen… “If” he turned the heroine (Rachel), into a “white girl….” Say what?????
Well… Kwan politely said “NO THANK YOU… that’s not what this is about.. you’ve missed the point completely.
It took some years… but Kwan was finally able to see his vision unfold on the big screen the way he intended. Movie goers get to see incredible scenery… delectable foods… and lavish wardrobes.. It’s a celebration of beauty and culture in every possible way. I was absolutely thrilled to feast my eyes on this wonderful production, and it’s ALL Asian cast.

I was “thrilled” to see this movie publicized well… and get a LOT of positive buzz prior to it’s release.
The movie lived up to EVERY bit of the hype! It was an incredible experience… that filled my heart ♥️ with great JOY!!!
Just when I thought I had watched the most beautiful jewels, scenery… set designs food and fashions…. There was more! Everything just keep getting better… and more lavish! There is such attention to detail with every aspect in this movie! Kudos to all the people who made this project possible!!!! A huge round of APPLAUSE!
✨✨✨ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ✨✨
I knew I was going to support the film… but the PR campaign…made me look forward to going.
I’m glad a lot of other people also showed up in theaters… and continue coming in BIG numbers.. after “word of mouth” recommendations…
This tremendous show of support by Movie goers has made this movie #1 !!!! Yep! The crazy big bucks… are STILL ROLLING in from around the globe! 🌎
#Chaching! $$$💰 $$$$💰$$$$💰 $$$$💰
With the HUGE SUCCESS of other culturally diverse films… starring people of color like “Black Panther” —> “Girls Trip” —>
“Hidden Figures” —-> “Get Out” —> It sets well in my soul… that ALL people are finally embracing great movies… about people who come from different cultures… and walks of life… and more importantly… Hollywood
Studios are recognizing the fact that people will buy tickets… and this diverse films are a BIG DEAL! Hey! They’ve got to keep this good fortune going for minority cast… and give fans what they want! Not to mention… great roles for actors of color… who deserve to earn a living… and be recognized for their talent! There so many other great stories out there… and people of color who have the ideas.. and story treatments. I’m keeping HOPE ALIVE… that the studios will do MORE to recruit people who have been waiting for a shot! From writers.. and producers…to more EXECUTIVES and actors of color…
Yours truly has been waiting patiently for a major breakthrough… while writing ✍🏽 BLOGS like this one.. and maintains “SPARKLE -E!!” I’m proud to support those who have finally made it!!! Hooray for this film… and all the others featuring minority performers! 👍🏽👍🏽
The HUMAN EXPERIENCE is relatable to each and every one of us. When it gets down to it… we are really more alike than different.
We face similar challenges in life…and value the same wonderful experiences. Every deserves a bit of sweetness and goodness… because life can be rough! Going to a nice movie…is sometimes the closest people can get to a Happy Ending…
I appreciate being entertained, enlightened and educated from a different point of view… It’s always refreshing to be exposed to something NEW! That’s EXACTLY why… people need to be open and willing to just do it!!!
Your Spirit will be grateful!!! 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏻

A hardworking… and good natured working class guy named “Paul” — does all he can ~crunching~ the numbers with his personal budget… to improve his quality of life…
Soooo…. He and his wife go searching for their “Dream Home..” 🏠Through the process… he watches carefully how her eyes 👁👁 light up… with the beautiful brand new homes…
Whelp…Paul ( Matt Damon) and his wife, Audrey (Kristen Wiig), decide to take the plunge and ship off to Leisureland, one of the exclusive communities.
When I see billboards up around town… I smile… and say GEE WIZ!what a MOVIE!!!
I was all into this movie! –Geeked!!!– I picked up souvenirs ….and everything …
*** How do you like my shrunken (Paul), Matt Damon cookies???? 
This is one of my FAVORITE movies of the year!!! I was sitting there watching it going… oh my! I can not believe this!!! Lolz!!! 😲
Hong… who is from New Orleans…says she had to audition SEVERAL times to snag this role… and patiently wait a good while… before she found out that YES!!! She got the part!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌
In “DOWNSIZING” —>This little lady walks softly… but carries a big stick! 
Or…should I say she ~walks on a big stick…. ( you’ll get that… when you see the movie… ) —> you know I have to tease it!!! But trust and believe… it’s all VERY intriguing… 
She’s getting nominations for her performance left & right!!! Well deserved too!!!
DOWNSIZING has been rapidly moving up the food chain… as far as great movies go…. In fact…It’s being touted as one of the BEST movies of the year!!!

Absolutely NOT! There’s MORE jealousy… mystery… drama… vengeful attacks…and lots of action!
I was hrilled to attend the premiere…
and left the theater thinking….
I mean… who doesn’t want a good laugh….😂—-> especially when it’s not like your ((( air quotes with fingers…))) TYPICAL slap stick humor… 🤪
With ageism being a hot button issue in Hollywood right now… this movie is a great reminder… that there are **LOTS** of sensational stories out there… where older performers can be in the spotlight and SHINE!!!!
Get the picture???? Good!!!! 👍🏽
It’s Cool! 😎 ~ Evette Dabney

Gary Oldman gives what I believe is his FINEST performance EVER!!! We’re talking OSCAR WORTHY FOLKS!!! He’s scored a GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATION…. and SAG nomination ….. this far!You must know… that Gary Oldman went over… and beyond to get a complete understanding of the prime minister. He read biographies…carefully watched historic film footage, visited Churchill’s home at Blenheim Palace, and spoke to family members… 👋🏽 Hey Everybody… HE. NAILED.IT‼️ I thoroughly enjoyed watching his performance!!!
I was absolutely ✨mesmerized ✨ watching him in action… How did he do it?! I’ve watched enough historic footage in documentaries…and so forth… to realize he truly captured the SOUL and SPIRIT of this powerful man!
He was transformed into the historic Icon … with an extensive make-up job..by a legendary makeup artist …and prosthetics… ((( we’ll get back tothis incredible makeover in a minute! ☝🏽))
A foam bodysuit was constructed to add extra weight to his slight frame… 
He was just nominated for a Golden Globe… and SAG Award.
