A wrinkle in time has a nice message for children but not worth the premium to see in movie theaters. PROS beautiful costumes, haute-couture, dream-like fantasy worlds really did it for me. Otherwise, I would have got up and left halfway into the film.  CONS movie was too long, storyline too simple, some terrible acting and not enough violence.

Crazy Rich Asians was a simple storyline of two people finding love in each other despite multiple challenges filled with a line-up of familiar faces.  PROS: you feel like you are going on vacation with Rachel Chu to Singapore, her sidekick (Awkwafina) is funny-refreshing. CONS: the film is way too long, some forms of exaggeration in the storyline which was expected from this type of film, and I did not like that this film streamlined Asian culture. I'm sure that Asian culture has it's own subcultures, within itself.  I wish they detailed history further and had more of an educational aspect. 

This Movie is Family Friendly but funny enough for adults. The pros: cute film allows to explore one's inner child with some laughs from the comfort of your seat, moderate displays of "slutty and trashy" behavior. The cons: The Film is way too long for a simple storyline of revenge.

Bar Louie Midtown Miami 3201 N Miami Ave 786-879-8260 http://www.barlouieamerica.com/locations/midtown-miami.aspx The decor is cute: environment reads relaxed, hip but grown up, sports bar vibe with low lighting and crowd was a mixture of people from various age groups from around Miami. I don’t mind too much for decor, my concern is food and alcohol. I came in to Bar Louie on a Tuesday Night, located on the ground level of the midtown shops in Miami, FL. They have an awesome deal dollar burger Tuesdays. The burger itself was tasty, portion size decent, and it wasn’t too greasy. Each topping is an extra charge, the burger was good and good value but I am going to try their chicken wings next time. The men's bathroom was clean, which is a surprise. What was lacking for me was the drinks they were weak, I been to other bars in high density areas with similar price points but healthier amounts of liquor. This place is great to go with a group of friends have beers,...

Tomasa  Venezuelan Restaurant in Doral, FL  5401 NW 79th Ave, Doral FL , 33166.  ph. 308-781-8078  I came in to this restaurant because I had a coupon from restaurant.com but apparently the business has closed and it's now a new owner/name. I was unable to use my coupon.  In the spirit of trying new places and keeping positive attitude(s), I decided to order lunch anyway.  There bar area where I sat for my to go order is clean. I did not ask waitress for the price because I thought it would be under 10.00.  All I wanted was (1) cachapa.  I am surprised, when I see my bill that it's this expensive for a corn tortilla stuffed with cheese.  When my to go order comes, I look at it and I am disgusted that it comes with an excessive amount of meat as a side. I am not vegetarian and I do eat meat, but jesus Christ it was more than 6 oz of meat next to my cachapa -- that's just gross. I ate like 1/3 of the meat served...

Piola South Beach, 1625 Alton Road, Miami Beach, FL, 33139. This pizza place is 1 minute walking south bound from Regal Cinema in Lincoln Road Mall.  I thought the pizza would be good since this place always has patrons inside at all hours of the day. I was wrong, and my friend also thought the pizza was not as expected.  Dine in- environment is casual, and price for drinks and food is on the lower end. But due to it being Lincoln Road, I expected it to be more expensive and higher quality of food. The pizza was hot and ingredients are fresh but pizza-bread was not hard it was soft and soggy, the pizza needed more time in the oven.  On the plus side, the waiter did bring me and my guest free shots to try, and the shots were awesome.  Verdict:  I won't be coming here for food. However, $5.00 for a beer and great shots, and casual environment. This place is great for friends to meet up, for a casual date, or for locals and tourists to create new frie...
