Movies Anyone?

I was thinking that this month "strangely" there are lots of decent flicks playing in English at the Odeon and was wondering if anyone would like to join me one night for dinner and a movie (or maybe aperi-cena and a movie). I am particularly interested in seeing Charles Wilson's War which is on next Monday and Tuesday, but there may be others who want to see something else. In any event- if anyone wants to see a movie send in a comment and we can set up some movie dates for any of you out there who are "dying to see a movie in English".

FIRST BOOK CLUB MEETING


First book club meeting --January 31st at Santo Bevitore
Book - EAT, PRAY, LOVE: One Woman's Search for Happiness by Elizabeth Gilbert

Just want to thank everyone for attending the first meeting of the Bitch & Wine Florence Book Club. The gathering was complete success.. and thank you to Melanie for picking Santo Bevitore- excellent restaurant with very decent prices. My steak tartare was very pleasing despite is "alpo like" demeanor. All in all - good food, good wine, good company and good discussion.
