GIVEAWAY: Gone Girl at the Maple Theater (Detroit area) on 10/2 - 5 winners, ends 9/29

One of the movies coming out next month (October 2014) that I'm very excited about is Gone Girl - not only does it have a great cast (Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike), but I have read the book and it's one that still sticks in my mind, two years later.

The Maple Theater will be screening the film on October 2nd at 8:00pm, before it premieres in theaters, as part of its New York Film Critics Series (NYFCS), and five of my lucky readers can win a pair of tickets to see it for free.

Directed by David Fincher and based upon the global bestseller by Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage. On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his beautiful wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick’s portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife? - 20th Century Fox

      I recently read Dark Places (which is also being turned into a movie, with Charlize Theron in the main role) and I read Gone Girl two years ago. Haven't read Sharp Objects but I've heard it's the weakest of the three.

    This sounds like a really exciting, mysterious movie. Just the type of movie I like. I have yet to read the book. It's on my list.

    I want to see this film, because I love viewing movies of all types.
    No, I have not read the book version by Gillian Flynn, because I don't take the time to read large books with everything else I want to do in the activities of daily living of retirement.

    I want to see this movie because I am a huge fan of suspenseful thriller movies and because of the great cast. Unfortunately I have not read the book for this movie yet. Oftentimes I find that when I read the book before seeing the movie, I am left disappointed with the movie

The Friday Five, 9/11/20: 5 things I've been up to this week

Image
Quarantine, end of week 26, which makes this 50% of the year. But more importantly: where were you on 9/11/2001? I still remember it: I was in my freshman year English class, and they announced over the loudspeaker that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. I turned to a friend and was like "What's going on?" and she said something like "I don't know but this is very bad." All after-school activities were canceled that day (swim team, for me), and for most of the day we just watched TV coverage. Pretty crazy that it was 19 years ago today. Grand Haven, MI beach and pier What I've been up to this week: A much-needed vacation . My last vacation or even my last trip was January in Vegas, before COVID-19 began. I've literally taken 0 days off of work this summer except for the Monday after the weekend of July 4th. Between that and my house stuff, I really needed a vacation. My boyfriend has Mondays and Tuesdays off work so we tra

Review and GIVEAWAY: Don Marcos Brand tortilla chips - a local Michigan brand! {ends 7/26}

Image
*Disclosure: I received Don Marcos products in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. I recently was able to try some products from a local Michigan brand, Don Marcos—they're based right around the corner from me, in Southfield! Most likely, if you live in the metro Detroit area, you have tried their tortilla chips without even knowing it, because they are major distributor to a lot of local restaurants. I guess this makes sense, but I never really put two and two together: that tortilla chips are made out of cut up tortillas, which are then baked. Don Marcos sells the unbaked version, so I got to make them myself at home! They were super hot and fresh directly out of the oven, and very crispy, too. To make them was easy: I preheated my oven to 375 degrees, I sprayed the chips with vegetable oil, and I sprinkled some salt across them. You only have to cook them for 7-8 minutes. Don Marcos also sells tortillas, like the ones pictured a
