Movie Review: Chloe

    Hey, everyone. Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors. so when I saw a Netflix title with him as the star and the talented Julianne Moore as co-star, I decided to try it. Liam plays David, a college professor who likes to flirt with young women, much to the chagrin of his attractive wife, Catherine. Catherine is a middle-aged Doctor. May I say right here to any producer that may be reading the blog, guys have zero interest in watching any sort of medical exam, okay? Anyway, Catherine is tired of David's wandering eye and decides to test him. She does this by hiring an attractive young escort to flirt with the poor, unsuspecting David and see if he is indeed a philanderer or a philanthropist. Ha, ha.
     Well, gee, you knew that things were going to go south, and they do. What you didn't know is just how far south they would go. There are a few surprises and a few "oh, wow" moments. The escort takes things a bit too far and has aspirations to be a narrator of sorts. Then the lady Doctor becomes somewhat infatuated with her new employee. Then the lady doctor's grown son meets the lovely Chloe (the escort), played skilfully by Amanda Seyfried. At this point you are saying, "This dude has ruined the movie by telling me all the twists". Nooooo.
    Needless to say, this is rated 'R' and I had difficulty keeping the review in the 'G' spectrum. If you could skip the first 10 minutes I would rate it 4 stars out of 5. Since I didn't, I rate it as 3.5 stars out of 5. Hope you like it.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...
