Based on the general reactions and reviews of the newest DC Comics release, “Wonder Woman” seems to be a hit. Most of my friends and family all agree that the movie is great, Gal Gadot did a good job as the iconic hero, Chris Pine is charming as Steve Trevor, and that they loved the […]
DVD & Digital Review: “East Side Sushi” + Video
Have you heard of “East Side Sushi?” If you haven’t, don’t feel too bad. Neither had I. I came across the title in a random scrolling in one of my digital subscription services while trying to find something to stream while I worked. And I’m very pleased with my selection. “East Side Sushi” is a […]
A review of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
There are three reasons why you might not want to read this review: You have already seen “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and you loved it. You haven’t seen “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and you don’t want to have it spoiled. You have never seen a movie that you didn’t like. The […]
Did I mention the new Ford Fusion V6 Sport?
… If I’d been looking at the Fusion V6 Sport, I might have actually decided bought one (maybe). It has a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 delivering a “projected 325 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque.” This might have swayed my little lead-footed heart (did I mention that the car I did buy accelerates really well?) …
The “wow” factor in the new Ford Raptor
… Of all the things I saw at NAIAS, the one I keep talking about is the new Ford Raptor. It’s a monster. It’s a thing of beauty. And I really really want to get behind the wheel of one. (I liked it so much I talked about it on my radio show.) …
I made the mistake of watching Salma Hayek’s “Everly”
I’m at a loss at explaining the movie “Everly” to anyone who hasn’t seen it. It’s a movie released in 2014 starring Salma Hayek in which she gets beaten, raped, tortured … as a plotline. It’s along the lines of the “Hostel” type of movies, where human suffering is supposed to be entertainment. If there […]
Alejandro G. Iñárritu, “The Revenant” win at Golden Globe Awards
“The Revenant” has barely been out in movie theaters but it’s been receiving critical acclaim for weeks … months. Excellent reviews have been coming in about the performance of Leonardo DiCaprio and about the movie itself (the writing, the direction, the cinematography). So it’s no big surprise that the movie garnered numerous nominations for the […]
The Walking Dead “JSS” Recap (Season 6, Episode 2) Spoilers!
Spoilers are ahead. Lots and lots of spoilers are ahead. You have been warned. Two of the reasons I watch “The Walking Dead” are the exceptional character development and the way the actors so beautifully portray the complex emotions of the characters they play. JSS was an episode that showed us the humanity that is […]
El Pollo Loco: they have salads too! #ad
…Shown here is the Chicken Tostada Salad, which is basically a chicken salad in a taco shell. The spotlight ingredient is the cubed chicken, which is (of course) made from their signature citrus-marinated chicken breast, on a bed of chopped romaine lettuce blend, with pinto beans, rice, shredded jack cheese, sour cream and pico de gallo salsa topped with a creamy cilantro dressing and some sour cream…
El Pollo Loco opens in Sugar Land #ad
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own. It’s here! It’s here! I’ve been waiting for the opening of El Pollo Loco every since I attended a pre-opening event a few months ago. Until then, I’d never tasted the food or really knew anything about the restaurant. But I did taste the […]
