"We're the Millers" (2013) is one of my favourite

"We're the Millers" (2013) is one of my favourite comedies of all time! No matter how often I have already seen it, it still lifts my mood every time I watch "the Miller family" trying to cross the Mexican border back into the US with an RV in which every single corner is fully stocked up with weed. 🤣🙈⠀
⠀
Back in 2011, I made it into Mexico for one night and back on a day trip (or should I say evening trip?) to the Mexican border town of Tijuana. This trip was organised by the hostel I was staying at in San Diego, California.⠀
⠀
By the way, apparently a "We're the Millers" sequel is coming up soon! 😁 I'm so excited to see how the saga continues... 😂⠀
⠀
For more about this film, check out my "We're the Millers Film Review" currently linked to in the bio⠀

In the new Amazon Prime series "The Underground Ra

In the new Amazon Prime series "The Underground Railroad" (2021-) we follow Cora, a young enslaved women from a plantation in Georgia (The Deep South). ⠀
⠀
In the early to mid 1800s, Cora is trying to escape to freedom by taking a secret train that belongs to the so-called "Underground Railroad". On her difficult route, she passes through the US states of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Indiana - with each state being worse than the other. ⠀

⠀
If you would like to follow in the footsteps of Cora's harsh journey and visit some former US plantations yourself, you can do so by traveling virtually to Louisiana. For that, I can recommend the YouTube Channel of "Free Tours by Foot". Recently, the channel has been posting a lot of virtual tours. ⠀
⠀
Among these was a road trip that the tour guides Andrew and Robi took to several plantations in the area around New Orleans, which included a stop at "Oak Valley Plantation". ⠀
⠀
This plantation was not an actual film location for "The Underground Railroad", but you can get a good feel for what life on former plantations in the South of the US was like. And by the way, "Oak Alley Plantation" was a film location for the movie "Interview with the Vampire" (1994) with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.⠀

In the new Apple + series "Physical" (2021-), a slightly bored housewife and mom who struggles with an eating disorder, finds her very own "therapy" when she takes up "Aerobic" classes. ⠀
⠀
Film location wise, the series takes us to sunny California (and more precisely San Diego) in the 1980s, when "Aerobics" were a huge, new trend! And video cameras were still bigger than life...⠀

A scene from the quite scandalous late 90s drama "Cruel Intentions" (1999), which was filmed in New York City's Central Park. On the picture above: Me on one of those famous rocks in Central Park. ☺️⠀
