Beer first, it took the collaborative effort of a buddy of mine, (Ted), and I to create what has been the best beer I have ever brewed. We planned on brewing an IBA (India Black Ale, also known as a Black IPA or a Cascadian Dark) that Saturday morning and when it began raining, we had to move from the back patio (uncovered) to the front porch (covered). This is why the beer has been named JT's Front Porch IBA. It is as black as midnight, lightly malty, pretty hoppy with a lingering hoppy aftertaste. I hope we are able to make it again in the near future because it is going fast...
On to the movie. I have to admit that before I got tickets to "Cabin in the Woods", I had not seen a preview or heard anything about it. After watching the preview, there was no chance that I going to miss it and I was not disappointed in going. This is an awesome movie and it has everything you could possibly want in a movie. I highly advise you see this movie in the theater. It is worth the money. It is not going to win an Academy award or an Oscar but it has one of the most interesting storylines I have heard of recently. 2 thumbs way up.
***SPOILERS, well, not really, you need to see this movie and I am not going to spoil it for you***
I hesitate to classify it as a 'horror' movie although it definitely has that typical slasher/campy feel for the majority of the movie. The first 40 minutes or so are almost comedic. Honestly the whole movie has a serious humor streak. I would have almost called it slapstick if slapstick meant screaming bloody gore with snarky comments and dialogue. Really tho, everything that you want to happen in this movie, happens. I spent the whole movie wishing that one particular event would occur and then it did. But since I am not really going to spoil it for you (even you few that read this), I am going to stop now. Go see it and we will talk.
