Deja Vu: New Orleans Jambalaya Recipe 🥁🥁🥁
/It’s probably worth watching for the car chase alone, not to mention the dreamy love story, and some solid detective work spiced up with a little Sci Fi. In fact, there’s almost enough there to keep you from thinking too much about a plot that ultimately blows away like dust in the wind.

Atomic Blonde: The Coldest City Cocktail Recipe 🥁🥁🥁1/2
/Charlize Theron owns this film. Like the best of Bonds she is a stylish knockout – even when sporting a black eye – and reliably lethal. And she’s on duty 24/7, even in the bedroom or the occasional darkened hallway, where amorous adventures are, of course, all for queen and country.

Captain Phillips: Sweet Somali Cake Recipe 🥁🥁🥁🥁1/2
/On rare occasions in film as in life, everything comes together to create near perfection.

Read MoreCasino Royale: Vodka Martini Recipe 🥁🥁🥁🥁
/Brash and blond, the new Bond is more cutthroat than connoisseur, substance rather than style, a man concerned with getting the job done even if he has to bloody up his tailored threads to do so. Gone is the high tech gimmickry, the eccentric evil geniuses intent on world power. Instead this gritty no nonsense film sees the real world as dangerous enough without having to fluff it up with science fiction fantasy.

Read MoreState of Play: Steamed Blue Crabs Recipe 🥁🥁🥁1/2
/
This fast-paced thriller provides enough superior action, acting and atmosphere to keep you on the edge of your seat during its not quite two hour run. It’s not the adrenaline-pumping, nausea-inducing shaky camera world kill tour that The Bourne Identity franchise has morphed into – there’s no way the now pudgy Russell Crowe could keep up the pace, but he more than makes up for it with his rumpled reporter’s instincts to find out the truth no matter where it takes him.
Read MoreThe Equalizer 2: True Turkish Tea Recipe 🥁🥁🥁1/2
/
Can we ever get enough of Denzel? Not hardly. Even if this film doesn’t draw on his deeper acting talents, we love him just the same. An enjoyable thriller well paced and poignant. And in some cases, better than the original.
Read MoreBefore the Fall: Baked Sauerkraut with Apples Recipe 🥁🥁🥁🥁
/Although its is set in Nazi Germany in the early 1940s, Before the Fall is less about the evils of fascism than the struggle between idealism and ambition, the clash between fathers’ expectations and sons’ dreams, and the repercussions of a flawed ideology upon the individuals who espouse it.

Anatomy of a Murder: Baked Lemon and Herb Trout Recipe 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
/
Take a break from the new, mostly mediocre streaming offerings to see this classic once dubbed the finest courtroom drama ever made. Despite the fact that the black and white feature was made more than 60 years ago, it appears as fresh and contemporary as the many imitators it has spawned.
