Captain America: Civil War with DJ!!

We started off early on Saturday, meeting at 11:30 for brunch and a Movie instead of the usual afternoon routine.  Everyone seemed a little tired but was excited to see The Avengers go head to head; Team Captain America vs Team Iron Man.  

 

Team Iron Man included me (DJ), Jia Jia, and Nick both from China... Why: "We love his suit, cool technology, and arrogant humour"

Team Captain America was Andrea, Johnny, Zihao and Winaga.  Andrea and Johnny thought he was handsome. Zihao and Winaga liked that he always does the right thing and tries to protect his best friend.

Everyone agreed that our favorite hero was Spiderman! We had fun and the movie was really good... And we can't wait for the next big film!

Lunch and The Jungle Book with DJ!

We got off to a great start Saturday afternoon. We meet at the school parking lot and walked over to Del Amo Mall and debated what we should have for lunch.  Lazy Dog and Johnny Rockets offers discounted ticket if your eat with them but sometimes the service is slow at both.   Also it can be difficult to figure the final bill, tax and tip. 

 I suggested Stacked which offers you the convenience of ordering with an Ipad and paying the tabs separately. Also has a wide selection of typical America food Pizza, Pasta and if course Cheeseburgers. 

 After stuffing our faces, we were off to experience the Jungle Book in 3D.  The film is live action, and a little intense, but also very good and easy for most students to understand.  Only one Chinese girl fell asleep, unfortunately because she didn't really understand what was happening.  All in all, everyone enjoyed the film and our time together! Next week Captain America Civil War! 

Batman vs Superman with DJ!

Saturday, we had a great time hanging out, eating, and watching Batman vs Superman!

First we headed to the food court so we could avoid the lines and snack prices at the theater.  Next we headed over to the theater early to make sure we could get good seats. Unfortunately we couldn't all sit together because it was super crowded even though it was 30 mins before the show. 

 The students were a little sleepy during the first half of the film, but when the big explosion happened, everyone woke up and was totally back into the action. After the film we all agreed that Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman was our favorite character. Lunch and a movie with friends is the best way to start any spring break.

Movie time with DJ!

We met for lunch a little later than usual. The students and I were all starving before our afternoon matinee.  We decided to fill our bellies at Stack'd.   The coolest thing about eating there is not only can customize your pizza, burger, or salad on your private iPad in the middle of each table but you can also pay your bill separately at the end of your meal. Did I mention filling our bellies? Boy oh boy did we ever!

We slowly carried our overstuffed bellies to the theater for Kung Fu Panda 3. Everyone was excited and hopeful they could understand what they were about to see.  Unfortunately, because we all were in a food coma, and the theater was cold and dark, two students were treated to a premium nap time which cost only $12! The rest of us were treated to a few laughs AND tears. The movie was funny and quite touching but not quite as good as the first two installments. 

All in all, we all had a good time having lunch and a movie.
