The Menu.

A group of high income earners, almost all pretty much bad people, get an invitation to an exclusively high end dinner provided by a world famous chef on his secluded island. What they don't know is how the chef has his own designs for them. What the chef is trying to figure out is who the unexpected date of one of his guests is. Very good horror/comedy.

I watched The Breakfast Club recently. One of my long-time favorites. Had a code for the digital version in an unopened bluray that I have nothing to play in. I was actually able to watch it in itunes, and it actually looked good.

I don't think the movie aged terribly well. Talk of teen rape that probably wouldn't fly today. Some cheesy unrealistic things. The title track is bangin' and one dance number was pretty okay, but there was also some generic filler 80's music. Still like the premise, though it's been critiqued as a story about how diverse white people can be. There's lots to like, but some cringe stuff, too. Still mostly positive.

It's an excellent film - you will enjoy it.

Banshees of Inisherin. One of the funniest films of all time!

The Menu

A little horrifying, but very funny.
The dishes served are quite beautiful to look at. I especially enjoyed the desert.

Kraichgauer gave a very good description.

There is a scene, early in the dining experience, where Chef is explaining the dish. One of the diners is whispering to his dining partner, and Chef gets very perturbed with him, while maintaining selfcontrol. I am not kidding when I say for a second, I was a bit frighten to get up for some water from my kitchen. Ralph Fiennes it really good.

After watching one of my favorite YouTube channels this morning, I decided it was time for me to watch -
My Girl (1991)

It took a long time to get around to watching this, and I don't know why. I knew the general plot and I'm usually drawn to movies with story lines orbiting the topic of loss and death. It was a good movie. In the end, people are gone, things are different, but life goes on.

Watching MY GIRL with Ask a Mortician (28 minutes)

Flame in the Streets (1961)


This is a British film produced and directed by Roy Ward Baker, a solid enough director who never really delivered anything top class though. It deals with racial prejudice, when the daughter of a trade union official dates a West Indian immigrant and her supposedly left-leaning parents put pressure on her to terminate the relationship.

There's an obvious comparison here with the American film Look Who's Coming To Dinner (starring Sidney Poitier, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn), which was released half a decade later. The British film is grittier, and has a more downbeat and ambiguous ending though. Modern viewers might be surprised at the portrayal of London's Notting Hill area here - today it's a gentrified district where the houses sell for huge sums (£1 million plus), but in the late 1950s it was a largely a slum, with run-down and derelict properties rented out to West Indian newcomers.
There were race riots there in 1958, which were not on anything like the scale of Los Angeles in the mid-60s, but still caused quite a stir in the UK. There's a mini-riot at the end of the film, but it's not especially well staged.

Not an upbeat film.
