Grudge Match Movie Review

Grudge Match is a really enjoyable movie.  The story was well told and nothing was over the top, which I liked.  It might be that I am getting old but I am sick of movies trying to be impressive.  This was a subtle flick and very funny.  This is a good movie to hit up.

To entice you to go see this I will let you know there is a surprise ending.

Into the Furnace Movie Review

It was a good movie that would have been better if I had expected it was more of a drama than an action flick.   I definitely think the trailers for this movie were misleading.  I was expecting some serious butt kicking.  I was amped up so the movie seemed slow.

Into the Furnace is definitely a slow movie but I typically like movies that develop characters and really tell a story.  I don't think this movie was completely successful in those regards but it does a better than average job.

I would recommend this movie but realize it is a hybrid between an action movie and a drama.  Keep in mind that is lean more on the drama side as well.

Bad Grandpa

Bad Grandpa was funny, I really enjoyed the movie.

The reason the movie worked is that they incorporated a story but it is was more about the natural reactions of real people.  The characters seemed natural as much as the audience of the gags.  I was also pleased to find out that it wasn't as gratuitous as I thought it was going to be.  Don't get me wrong there were definitely scenes in the movie that kids should not ever see, but it wasn't a total shock fest like Hangover 2.

I definitely recommend this movie.  It is very light and moves a long at a good pace.  The great thing is that it looks like Johnie really had to work to get the shocking reaction he wanted.  It seemed like a lot of people were doing the right thing.

My New Drink - City C

I am pretty excited because I concocted an awesome drink at the bar yesterday.  My wife was indecisive as usual and said I want a drink that is not to strong and creamy.  Most people are going to order a White Russian.  Not me.  I went up to the bar and looked over the selection.  I saw the Rum Chata and I knew Rum Chata is a little too sweet for her taste.   Then it hit me mix it with Franglico.

City C - One part Frangelico one part Rum Chata on the rocks.

The drink tastes a lot like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the name is an ode to one of my favorite breakfast cereals.  I started with the initials and thought that was too easy so I made it City C.

Try it let me know what you think and by the way she loved it.

Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 2

I don't think anything in this episode was mind blowing.  The show still managed to fly by.  A lot of action and the two significant events are that the disease action plan goes into effect and everyone is not in agreement on the execution of the plan.  Apparently, someone thinks turning and burning is the way to go.

I think feeding the zombies is going to turn out to be a bigger deal than the episode let on.  It seems like the kids are the likely culprits but what are they doing sneaking out at night.  They live in a world where the zombie apocalypse is going on.  I think that probably makes it a little harder to sneak out at night.

It is strange that it is someone in the prison but who would still be loyal to The Governor.  I think that is the trick and I am going with the Medic Bob for now.   I guess will find out or if he starts to get face some internal struggle like he had in escaping the booze in the first episode of season four.

Sympathy for Kershaw from a Cards Fan

Wow, Kershaw just got pulled and I could tell he had some tears swelling up in his eyes.  The Cardinals had taken the Dodgers to the wood house in this game but I am not going to count my eggs before they hatch.  There are still four innings of play to go.  I am hoping we get a couple more here in the 5th.

They just showed Kershaw in the dugout and he is staying there to watch the game.  I give credit to the man he is in a real tough situation.  That being said I am happy as hell my team is winning.  GO CARDS!!!

Walking Dead: Does Rick Turn

My favorite show has started again and I noticed a little foreshadowing.  In the very begin of the episode Rick is doing a bit of farming and walks by a barrel taking a big sip water.  At the end of the episode Harry Potter turns in the shower.  Even though a lot happened in between I am drawing a connection between the two events.

My thoughts are that Rick turns from drinking contaminated water.  I really think this is going to play into the new season somehow.  The other possibility is that he gets sick and they find a cure or he fights off the infection somehow.  Perhaps he just gets similar symptoms and ends up just having a bad case of the flu.  I am going with he turns.  Let me know what you think?

Does Rick get infected or do you have your own take on what will happen?  Please leave a comment below.
