Back by popular demand, or maybe just because she has nothing better to do, our first special guest star, Emma, is back to help us review a movie about some of her favorite things: Cannibals, Carpet installers, and Brits. A quick check in with the weekend of hockey/kids activities, and we're off to the movie.
Cannibals & Carpet-fitters: A family of weirdo cannibals hires a team of carpet-fitters to cover up their beautiful hardwood floors. But, that's just a ruse. They really just want to kill the crews, eat parts of them, and sell other meat for profit. This plan seems kinda dumb, though, because the carpet business owner would presumably know that the crews went out for this job and didn't return. People get killed. Some people may or may not get killed. Cliffhanger, baby.
Cannibals & Carpet-fitters final grade:
Steve: A clever storyline and a movie trope we haven't watched yet. Funny in parts, well shot, 3.95/5.0
Brandon: Right up with there with all the other movies we've watched from the British Isles. Probably something that is in the "less well-known movie" category because it was made somewhere outside the US. 3.946/5.0
Emma: A fine movie for what it was. Much better than Ahockalypse. It was actually "half-interesting sometimes." 4.0/5.0
Cocktail of the Week:
Sticky Carpet
1 1/2 Gin oz Unsweetened Cherry Juice, "the expensive shit"
1/2 oz Orange Liqueur
1/6 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice
Sparkling Water or Club Soda
Combine all non-fizzy ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Shake to chill and combine, then strain into a rocks glass over ice. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with lime wedge/slice and cherries.
To turn it into a MOCKtail, leave out the gin and replace it with two ounces of orange juice.
Cocktail Grade: Pretty bland, looks and tastes like you're drinking a glass of sparkling water. Don't bother with this one. Adding a little more orange liqueur did give it some flavor, at least. 2.0/5.0
Mocktail Grade: Same as the mixed drink. Doesn't taste like anything. Skip it. 2.0/5.0
