>>> SO HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO
TURN YOUR BACKYARD INTO YOUR OWN
PERSONAL MOVIE THEATER?
YEAH!
AND NOW YOU CAN.
LIFESTYLE EXPERT CAREY REILLY IS
HERE TO SHARE TIPS AND TRICKS TO
CREATE THE PERFECT MOVIE PARTY
IN THE MOONLIGHT IN OUR OWN
BACKYARD.
CAREY, GOOD MORNING!
>> GOOD MORNING, AMY!
DO YOU LOVE THIS IDEA?
>> SO MUCH I LOVE THIS IDEA.
LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT WE
JUST MOVED INTO A POOL HOME AND
WE WANT TO HAVE -- ON HALLOWEEN
WE WANT TO HAVE, LIKE, JAWS
PLAYING OR SOME HORROR MOVIE.
RIGHT WITH SOME CLASSIC
HALLOWEEN TREATS, SO WE GOT TO
START FROM THE BEGINNING, AND
THE ONE THING I WANT TO ASK YOU,
CAREY, IS ABOUT THE PROJECTOR
BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG
THINGS YOU NEED FOR THIS.
SO LET'S GO WITH THE THINGS THAT
YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S ACTUALLY MUCH
MORE SIMPLE THAN YOU WOULD THINK
IT IS.
FIRST OF ALL YOU'RE GOING TO
NEED A SCREEN, AND YOU CAN RENT
AN INFLATABLE SCREEN AT A LOT OF
THE PARTY STORES, OR YOU CAN GO
AHEAD AND MAKE ONE OUT OF A
WHITE KING-SIZED SHEET.
YOU GET TWO PIECES OF BOARD AND
TACK IT ON AND YOU'VE GOT A
SCREEN.
I PROJECT ON THE SIDE OF MY
GARAGE AND THAT WORKS TOO.
AS FAR AS THE PROJECTOR THEY'RE
VERY AFFORDABLE.
YOU CAN HONESTLY FIND THEM ON
SOME AUCTION SITES FOR LESS THAN
$100.
I ACTUALLY BORROWED ONE FROM MY
LIBRARY, WHICH WAS SO EASY.
AND THEY'RE DIGITAL NOW.
GET A TABLE AND PUT YOUR
PROJECTOR ON IT, WHATEVER YOU'RE
GOING TO RUN THE MOVIE THROUGH,
STREAM IT THROUGH WHICH WOULD BE
AN IPAD OR COMPUTER, MAYBE YOUR
PHONE, AND A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER
WORKS GREAT.
>> OKAY, THAT DOES SEEM REALLY
SIMPLE, SO OKAY NOW YOU GOT THE
SETUP, RIGHT?
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT ELSE WE
CAN DO TO ROUND OUT OUR PERFECT
BACKYARD MOVIE PARTY IN THE
MOONLIGHT.
>> YEAH!
SO I PARTNERED WITH SOME GREAT
BRANDS TO REALLY UP THE FUN
FACTOR IN MY MOONLIGHT AND
MOVIES PARTY.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I
CANNOT WATCH A MOVIE WITHOUT
EATING POPCORN, RIGHT?
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE POPCORN.
AND SO I LIKE TO DO A LITTLE
TWIST ON THE SUNDAY BAR BECAUSE
KIDS LOVE ANYTHING INTERACTIVE,
AND ADULTS TOO!
SO WHY NOT DO A BUILD YOUR OWN
POPCORN BAR?
YOU'VE GOT A BIG BUCKET OF
POPCORN.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT
KIND OF TOPPINGS THAT THE
CHILDREN CAN PUT ON IT AND THE
ADULTS AS WELL, SO YOU'VE GOT
CHOCOLATE PIECES.
YOU'VE GOT NUTS AND DILL OR
CHIVES, PARMESAN CHEESE, LIME
ZEST AND CHILI POWDER, AND
PARENTS --
>> YUM.
>> YUM, RIGHT?
DON'T YOU WANT TO EAT SOME RIGHT
NOW.
AND PARENTS LOVE IT BECAUSE
POPCORN'S HEALTHY.
WE ALL KNOW THAT.
IT'S WHOLE GRAIN, IT'S NATURALLY
LOW IN FAT AND CALORIES, GLUTEN
FREE, IT'S NON-GMO AND SUPER
AFFORDABLE.
ONCE YOU START MAKING THE
POPCORN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD
IS COMING OVER AND YOU CAN
AFFORD TO FEED THEM.
>> I LOVE THE SWEET AND SALTY
THINGS.
I'LL BE PUTTING THE CARAMEL OVER
IT AND STICKING THE M&MS IN.
ARE THERE SOME THINGS WE NEED TO
WATCH OUT FOR.
SOME TIPS WE COME ACROSS IN YOUR
OWN PARTIES SO WE KNOW WHAT NOT
TO DO, WHAT TO MAKE SURE WE
HAVE?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
DIFFERENT AGED PEOPLE WATCHING
IT, VIEWERS.
YOU MIGHT HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND
ADULTS AS WELL, AND THEY'RE ALL
GOING TO WANT TO WATCH THE SAME
MOVIE.
I DO TWO SCREENINGS.
I DO AN EARLIER SCREENING FOR
THE YOUNG CHILDREN, AND JUST
PICK LIKE A GREAT ANIMATED FILM
THAT EVERYBODY LOVES.
AND THEN I GO AHEAD AND DO A
LITTLE BIT OF A LATER SCREENING
FOR THE YOUNG ADULTS AND ADULTS.
ONE THING FOR SURE IS YOU WANT
TO PICK A FILM THAT'S CINEMATIC
AND BEAUTIFUL UNDER THE STARS,
THAT CAN REALLY CAPTURE YOUR
ATTENTION.
I LOVE GHOST IN THE SHELL
STARRING SCARLET JOHANSEN.
ITS GOT ACTION, ITS GOT US IS --
SUSPENSE, IT'S A GREAT STORY.
SHE PLAYS A CHARACTER OF A WOMAN
SAVED FROM DEATH WHO'S NOW CYBER
ENHANCED VIA PERFECT SOLDIER.
YOU CAN DIAL IT RIGHT ON ITUNES
BEFORE THE SCREENING.
WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> I LOVE IT.
>> I DON'T MESS AROUND.
I DO NOT MESS AROUND.
>> I LOVE IT.
QUICKLY -- SORRY, I'M TALKING
OVER YOU.
IT'S LIKE A BAD FIRST DATE.
WHERE CAN WE GO TO GET MORE
INFORMATION?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
GO TO POPCORN.ORG AND GET RECIPE
THERE IS AND DOWNLOAD THE MOVIE
ON ITUNES AND
NOTSOSKINNYMOM.COM.
THANK YOU, AMY.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PICTURES.
