Six sentence Sunday

From Hard Reboot:

He stepped up to the counter and looked at the menu on the wall behind the counter. Bisoyn burgers, chickfu patty, hot tofurky sandwich with gravy, lentil stew, and spaghetti with Italian soysage all sounded good. A clone-beef burger topped the menu, the only real meat on it, but it was pricey.

“Two pulled kelpork sandwiches and fries, and medium drinks,” he told the girl at the counter.

“Twenty-five,” she said, handing over the cups. “Be right up.”

Movies for 2011

( Read more... )

79) Bill Engvall: here's your sign. Stage show. I enjoy Bill Engvall. His family is a few years ahead of mine, so i get a preview of upcoming crises.

80) The Brothers Bloom. Brothers plan their last con, only to have it go all wrong, or all right. Complicated and entertaining. Rachel Weiscz is awesome as always, esp. when juggling chainsaws on a unicycle. And Adrien Brody should be required by law to wear a derby at all times. (iffy, the other female character teaches Penelope to make bombs, but 2 words is not a conversation. Character only has 4 words in the movie.)

81) Peter Pan. Good remake, darker than most, and touching on the more problematic aspects of Neverland. (f, 2)

82) Hal Sparks: Charmageddon. Stage show. Funny, raw and very good.

83) The Wolf-man. Weak weak weak. I had too high of hopes for this one. The twist ending was not a surprise. (f,1)

84) Ed and his dead mother. Loser brings his dead mother back, but bungles it until she turns into a hyperactive cannibal. Humorous zombie movie, but Steve Buscemi is creepier than the dead woman AND a white-haired John Glover as a revivification specialist, put together. (p)

85) Predators. Fifth in the franchise, but stands alone. Did we really need a sf remake of The Most Dangerous Game, with Adrien Brody, Danny Trujo and Alice Braga? Oh wait, answered my own question. (f,1)

86) The Betrayed. A kidnapped woman is forced to sell out her secret gangster husband to buy her son's safety. I liked this one. Tense, and smart. Melissa George keeps her head clear through it and is brilliant. (p)
