Thursday May 16th- Coffee Talk

Star Trek into Darkness,    Opens here this weekend.  I'm going Monday May 20th.  There are a bunch of matinees, because it's long weekend here in Canada.

If anyone in the Thunder Bay area is interested in going with me for movie club, leave me a comment. There are six matinee showings to pick from, half are 3D.

Let me know on here by Noon Sunday if you want to be part of the local  movie club for this movie.

Just random May 13th

I haven't really been doing much the last few weeks when it comes to blogging or movies.
I got hooked few weeks back on the show Hemlock Grove, on Netflix Canada. All I can say, is if you haven't seen it yet, you really should check it out. It's a Netflix original.

Missed about five movies at the cinema because of weather and my health.  But, I am really looking forward to Star Trek Into Darkness. Think I mentioned that the other day.

This week, I managed to get my head out of my arse long enough to watch the From Dusk till Dawn trilogy, for the vampire year project. 
This year, the movie project has been slow going with many interruptions. Which, I suppose is a good thing, given the reason it was so successful last year was because I was stuck home with a shattered knee. There wasn't anything else for me to do while I was recovering from the surgeries.
This year, starting to have a small bit of a life again, so yay me.  But hence the poor showing on the second year of the movie project.

I really have nothing new to talk about, just thought I'd come in and write a post just to say hey to any readers still checking in....hey.

Should be a movie club posting this week. And I'll be back either tomorrow or the day after with info for the local movie club for the Star Trek get together. As soon as I have the movie schedule.

till later

Friday may 10th

There was no vampire movie club last week at all, nor do I think I'll be getting one before tomorrow night done.
I know, I've let a bunch of readers down. Sorry, but my mind has been elsewhere.

With that said,  Star Trek Into Darkness opens next week in Canada.  I'm fairly sure we're getting it, so I am planning on going to see it.   I'll post mid-week when I know what the movie times of it are, if anyone in the Thunder Bay area is interested is joining me for local movie club.

What that movie inspired me to do # 8

You may remember me talking about the movie Casserole Club few months ago. (here dude here)

And you might have noticed I like casseroles. So, I thought in honor of the bad no-time-no-effort-no-taste casseroles that make an appearance in the film, I'd create one of my own.

This took about a half hour total.

Ingredients

1 medium onion chopped corsely
1 medium green pepper chopped corsely
1 cup blanched broccoli chopped corsely
2 packages of Knorr White Cheddar and Broccoli Sidekicks
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1 and a half tablespoons butter
salt and pepper for taste

Baked at 375 degree

Okay, so it tasted better then it ended up looking.   And you know what, I seem to have a knack for everything turning out the same style.  This is like the fourth casserole I've made recently that looked like this. I think I need to start using something other then broccoli.

Till later.

Week 17 Movie Club

Okay, it's a Saturday night, I'm babysitting  and I'm scrambling for time to pull this off... vampire movie of the week...Hotel Transylvania (I don't think I used this for movie club yet?)
So this will be very very short.

We see Dracula building a castle in the middle of Transylvania, which will be a hotel for monsters.  Dracula has become afraid of humans, because they caused his wife to die in a fire. Dracula, now left as a single dad, is afraid of loosing the rest of his family and friends as well, and decides to create this private hotel.
On his daughter's 118th birthday, Dracula has a major all weekend party planned, having invited all the monsters. But Mavis, his daughter, wants to travel, and manages to talk Dracula into letting her go to the nearest village to see what humans are like. She ends up afraid of them and goes back home.
Soon, a human named Johnathan, stumbles upon the hotel and falls in love with Mavis.
Dracula is now worried about how the rest of the monsters will react if they learn a human is in the hotel, while trying to keep the young couple apart.
But, Mavis finds out the truth, that Johnathan is a human and Johnathan leaves.  As the monsters feel they are no longer safe in the hotel, Dracula realizes that he can not control everyone.  When he realizes that Mavis and Johnathan are really in love, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Invisible Man and the Mummy, all race to the airport to stop Johnathan.
They all return to the hotel, and celebrate Mavis's birthday with a concert, just before Mavis and Johnathan go traveling around the world.


The point of the movie was that you never know who you're true love will be. Nor can you control everything to make it perfect, as there is no real way to have perfection.

Sorry it's a short post, but it's here tonight.  I've covered this movie in the original 1 movie a day for the year challenge (2012) and earlier in the year already on the vampire blog.

Okay, as I said, I'm babysitting, so I'm off.  
Till later

Week 16...ooopps

Yes, there was no Movie Club last week.  I plain old forgot. I've been distracted and it totally slipped my mind.
So, some might wonder why do I bother posting a note on the missing weeks?   Because, I'm trying to keep track of the which week is what. Yes it would be just as easy to write it on a calendar but what's the fun in that?

There will be one for this week. I promise on a stack of Anne Rice novels I will get week 17 done before Saturday night.

Friday April 19th

Friday, and time for the weekly round up from the vampire blog.  And this week, there's stuff to list.
It's a short week, but a full one. 

Wednesday April 17th, was Day 55 and I talked about an episode of Dracula the Series

Thursday, April 18th was Day 56, and I covered an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Friday (today) was Day 57, and I talked about the movie  Stephen King's Sleepwalkers,  plus I covered 4 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in what I'm calling my Slayer Fest.  

I'm going to do a couple more rounds of Slayer Fest this weekend.
