This week in Denver I had the privilege of viewing Oz the Great and Powerful with Moose. It was a phenomenal movie, filled with the wonders and amazing sights that can only be seen using today’s technology. Watching this in 3D was worthwhile as well, one scene in particular. Costumes, scenery and story all come together to make an amazing movie. James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Zach Braff help to complete this all-star cast and bring life to 1 of the 15 books … [Read more...]

I saw the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. While it was okay, I was not totally impressed. I walked into this movie not knowing exactly what to expect- other than Colin Farrell, Terrence Howard and gunfire. Two different stories collide and intertwine in a story of romance and revenge. Unexpected alliances are formed and the underground comes up for a breath while this tale grips you and takes you on a ride you will not forget. Victor (Farrell) is Alphonse’s (Howard’s) right-hand … [Read more...]

Catch me if you can is the true, if slightly embellished story of Frank Abignale Jr. For those of you alive during the late 1960’s, you probably remember seeing it on the news, reading about it in newspapers, etc. I did not have the fortune to be alive during that time- but when the Leonardo DiCaprio/Tom Hanks version came out several years ago on the big screen, I did research some of his exploits purely out of curiosity.   He did in fact steal close to 2 million dollars before he was … [Read more...]

Driving into the Highlands, passing by Gaetano’s I see what used to be an old abandoned building just past 33rd. Park on the street and walk over- then enter into an experience not seen in Denver until now. Old Major, partnered by several different geniuses who have all made names for themselves in this grand ole city… Justin Brunson (Masterpiece Deli, Denver Bacon Co.), Juan and Katie O’Shea Padro (Highland Tap & Burger) and Ben Parsons (Infinite Monkey Theorem Winery) whom are all … [Read more...]

Who loves bacon?… Okay… better question- who does NOT love bacon? Bacon is one of those necessary evils. You love to love it but at the same time realize that it is not something you should eat at every meal, right? That being said, when you do eat that wonderful fruit of the swine, shouldn’t you make sure it is the highest quality, best tasting bacon you can buy? Such is the quest of one of my  personal favorite local chef’s- Justin Brunson of Masterpiece Deli and Old Major, … [Read more...]

The Book Of Mormon has finally arrived in Denver! It’s the moment so many of us have been waiting for, counting down to and dreaming about. As someone who has a mostly Mormon family this show was bound to be interesting for me, and to make it more interesting I took my mom (who was raised in a strict Mormon family). We really enjoyed this show, it was hilarious and offensive all wrapped up into a joyous little bundle… just as I expected it to be. When you go to a show that is written by … [Read more...]
