Time to Exhale

This week, I saw part of "Waiting to Exhale" on cable, one of my favorite chick flicks. The movie is based on the book by Terry McMillan; sometimes movie interpretations of books aren't so good. This movie is just as good as the book. The acting was fabulous, it was great to see all the characters come to life from the book, you get to see a young Donald Faison in the film, Dennis Haysbert aka President Palme has a featured role, and last but not least, the film is directed by Forest Whitaker, who is getting so much praise for his acting in "The Last King of Scotland".

What was I talking about again? Oh that's right, "Waiting to Exhale", and I didn't even mention one of my favorite lines in the movie; after Robin goes to bed with Michael, a co-worker, you hear a voiceover "He thinks he just did something?!? I could have had a V8". The soundtrack is not too shabby either, the best song from the movie is Whitney Houston's "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)", without further ado:

Everyone falls, in love sometimes
Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right
For every win, someone must fail
But there comes a point when... When we exhale,
yeah yeah Say, shoop, shoop, shoop...
All you gotta do is say shoop, shoop, shoop...
My Lord now, shoop, shoop...

2-Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
Life never tells us, the whens and whys
When you've got friends, to wish you well
You'll find a point when, you will exhale
Yeah, yeah Say, shoop, shoop, shoop.. Say shoobedoo...
Oh, hearts are often broken When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's, answers to your prayers
If you're searching for, a place you know
A familiar face, somewhere to go
You should look inside your soul
And you're half way there

I say shoop, shoop... Feels all right, you can say shoop...
