Lounge Cocktail: Winter Tropic
With cold weather in most parts of northern North America we think this is a nice way to spend an evening. Or maybe even an early afternoon.

Lounging at the movies: The Funny and Not So Funny

Super Bad (2007) The tale of young boys looking for tail. You will love McLovin and probably associate him someone you knew in grade school. He was by far our favorite character as he looks like he lacks cool but actually is Super Bad. Liked this film a lot and may possibly be funnier to guys than gals, so watch it with the guys.

Shoot'em Up (2007) Clive Owen is a Nanny who is very dangerous. A complex tale of politics and baby farming with a ton of action that borders uncomfortable even for action freaks. There is action beginning the first minutes of the film, action while having sex, action while walking down the street. The title is true to form and you will not soon see a more evil bad guy than Paul Giamatti.

Citizen X (1995) Based on the true story of a Russian serial killer who killed more than 50 people over several years. A bit of a slow burn focusing on the slow politics that held back the investigation. Eventually, as the Iron Curtain falls, the Head Investigator gets resources to ramp up his investigation.

Balls Of Fury (2007) Former professional ping-pong phenomena, Randy Daytona is asked to aid the F.B.I. in capturing an infamous Chinese gun runner (Christopher Walken). Daytona is trained by a blind ping pong master and plays to the death, literally. Walken delivers evil only as Walken can, with a bit of humor. If you like Knocked Up and movies of this sort you will enjoy Balls Of Fury.

Phobia Of The Month:
Isopterophobia - Fear of termites

The worse thing about this phobia is that termites could be in the walls around you and you don't even know it. Hmmmm.
