Top 10 Movies of 2013 10.The Battery – Took me a couple viewings to really like it. It’s slow. It drags in parts. The characters aren’t overly likable. But it feels like a realistic depiction of the impending zombie apocalypse. It’s a different look at the genre, so it’s something even Renfield may be able to appreciate. […]
Description from Netflix: In the frozen beauty of Finland, local reindeer herders race against the clock to capture an ancient evil: Santa Claus. A single dad and his son are caught up in the chaos as scientists dig for artifacts. What they find endangers the entire village. Things I liked: 1. Basing the movie around […]
Short synopsis (from the film’s website): When a young couple move into a converted shop, they are filled with excitement and ideas as to how they will make the house their own. But it would appear the property is still clinging to its past, and unbeknown to them they are living inside its shadows. My […]
What I’m drinking: Bell’s Winter White Ale. One of my favorites this time of year. They take familiar winter spices and put them into a white ale, giving it a different character than I’m normally used to in this type of beer. It’s a nice comforting winter beer, but a more subtle flavor than most […]
We find ourselves on the eve of the midseason finale of this season of The Walking Dead. Allow me this chance of saying thank you to all of you who have read the recaps me and Fremont have done for this season. I’ve had a blast writing them, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading them. […]
You can read Fremont’s write-up here. It looks as though some of my grumpy old man views are rubbing off on her. Progress! What I’m drinking: Country Boy Jalapeno Porter. Like last week’s selection, this is a local beer. It’s tremendous. A dark, smoky porter, with a little bite of jalapeno that hits you in […]
You can read Fremont’s write-up here. What I’m drinking: West Sixth IPA. This is from a local brewery. One of the best IPAs I’ve ever had. Has a strong grapefruit taste to it. If you like IPAs, you’ll love it. But good luck finding it outside the Lexington area. Five things that annoyed me: 1. […]
What I’m drinking: Newcastle Werewolf. The goal was to save this for Hemlock Grove, but, at this point, it seems unlikely I’ll go back to watching that show. At least not anytime soon. This is a decent beer. Not nearly as good as Newcastle Brown Ale, but pretty good. It has a bitter berry taste […]
In this series, I take a look at what happens to characters after the credits roll. Beware of spoilers. There will be spoilers. You can read about the origin of this series here, and my original review of this movie here. When we left Mike & Ellie, all seemed well with the world. Ellie’s dad […]
You can read Fremont’s thoughts on this episode here. What I’m drinking: Apple cider and Fireball cinnamon whiskey. With Fremont drinking gin and juice (combined with the debacle that was last week’s episode), I thought I’d step up my drinking game this week. Before long, I’ll be slamming down bottles just a little too hard […]
