Watched the movie "Sinners", a period piece about vampires in the deep South in the 1920s. It got a lot of good reviews. I figured I'd love it since I love period pieces that cross genres. I figured wrong. Spoilers ahead, so you are warned.The first hour was pretty good, some pointless graphic sex scenes … Continue reading What the Boss Likes or not – the movie Sinners, spoilers ahead

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation- and here were are, 2020
here we are in the eve before starting 2020. When I was growing up, and we had all of that end times nonsense in the 70s, (oooh the Late Great Planet Earth by that twit Hal Lindsey) I was sure I was going to be the anti-christ in the year 2000 since I was sure … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation- and here were are, 2020
From the Bar – a few Belgian ales and a movie
I have now been on this planet for 50 years. I really wish I had been on some other planet during this time but alas technology has not cooperated. For my birthday, we went to have really good cheap french fries (cooked in beef fat) and expensive Belgian beers. This was an extra treat since … Continue reading From the Bar – a few Belgian ales and a movie
From the kitchen – some tasty entrees and a small rant about a movie
(warning: a few movie spoilers appear at the end for Iron Man 3 and The Winter Soldier. You have been warned) Having no good ideas for a big meal to make for the weekend (and little time to do so with a retail schedule), we decided to get the stuff to make some quick meals. … Continue reading From the kitchen – some tasty entrees and a small rant about a movie
What the Boss Likes – Captain America: The Winter Soldier and a few more beers
First off, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is great. I always am shy about seeing what amount to “second act” movies, where everything goes to hell to set up for the big win at the end. But this was good the whole way through, with enough little victories to keep things going. It was one … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Captain America: The Winter Soldier and a few more beers
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A review of the Noah movie trailer. Oh my, the silliness and this is only a few minutes of an hours long movie.
Haven’t seen the movie yet probably won’t, because I have no desire to add to the box office hits for this stinker. But I thought I’d take a look at the trailer and the movie website. I do enjoy showing how ridiculous the flood myth is, and have done so multiple times on this blog. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A review of the Noah movie trailer. Oh my, the silliness and this is only a few minutes of an hours long movie.
What the Boss Likes – Mob City, and a few movies
In the last month or so, I’ve had a chance to watch a few things that I have found worth the time. The sequel to the first Thor movie, Thor: The Dark World was a lot of fun. The plot was simple but it gave a lot of chance for interpersonal interactions. Tom Hiddleston as … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Mob City, and a few movies
From the Kitchen and bar plus a movie – Schnitzel with panko is like jaegers with kaiju… trust me on this one
The movie for this week is Sharknado! No, no, I can’t even joke about that. What a purely stupid movie (yes, we watched about 15 minutes of it). Ah, if someone would have told my teen-age self that there will be a channel called the Science Fiction Channel and that I would hate it with a … Continue reading From the Kitchen and bar plus a movie – Schnitzel with panko is like jaegers with kaiju… trust me on this one
From the Kitchen – the World’s Best Lasagna
This weekend’s meal and a movie is the World’s Best Lasagnatm and the movie is one we’ve watched before and love, John Carter (A Princess of Mars). If you enjoy pulp, then watch it. It’s a good movie and the reviewers, as usual, are to be ignored. I’ve recommended the movie before here, so we’ll … Continue reading From the Kitchen – the World’s Best Lasagna
From the Kitchen – Chicken Fajitas and a bad movie to go
When I was growing up, rather than listening to the rock and roll of the 80s, I was listening to soundtracks. For whatever reason, the rock that I love now just wasn’t interesting then. My brother listened to it, and his dear sister had to allay his fears that listening to rock wasn’t “Satanic”. He … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Chicken Fajitas and a bad movie to go
