Itinerary:

Come join me at the Empire City Center movie theater (located downtown at 10200 - 102nd Avenue on the 3rd floor) and after dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory (located downtown at 10220 - 103rd Street).

The movie that we would be viewing is "Changling" and is showing at 3:30pm and the running time is about 2.5 hours. The movie is about:

Los Angeles, 1928: On a Saturday morning in a working-class suburb, Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) said goodbye to her son, Walter, and left for work. When she came home, she discovered he had vanished. A fruitless search ensues, and months later, a boy claiming to be the nine-year-old is returned. Dazed by the swirl of cops, reporters and her conflicted emotions, Christine allows him to stay overnight. But in her heart, she knows he is not Walter.
As she pushes authorities to keep looking, she learns that in Prohibition-era L.A., women don't challenge the system and live to tell their story. Slandered as delusional and unfit, Christine finds an ally in activist Reverend Briegleb (John Malkovich), who helps her fight the city to look for her missing boy.
Based on the actual incident that rocked California's legal system, Changeling tells the shocking tale of a mother's quest to find her son, and those who won't stop until they silence her.

I will be waiting by the entrance and will have my yellow EOC hat on. Please arrive 15 minutes early so we have time to pay, find seats, and grab any snacks or beverages.

After we will head off to The Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner.
