Halloween 2
So we went out to celebrate my boys birthday he wanted to check out Halloween 2 which i was excited about since the first one was great. It was a let down, i guess rob zombie tried to get all deep on this one but got away from the root of those movies which is kill kill and more killing. The Begining grabbed you Cause it was fast pace and lots of dead bodies real old school, but then she woke up which i felt was gonna happen. Then it had this white horse deal with the mom and a psychic mental connection between Micheal myers and his sister. The shit was dumb i get what he was trying to do but he did too much keep it to the basics. 1 in the stink

"the goods" and Ground Round chicken wings
The Goods: So this movie was being pushed hard cuz of Jeremy Piven (you know the dude from "entourage" or for those that seen the movie P.C.U). The promotion was so huge that he went on Monday night Raw which second to Monday night football is the best way to start off the week. I'm not saying i had big expectations but i did. With a number of strong comedy movies that came out in the past year i thought this was gonna be another but... it missed. It started off strong introducing all the characters in a funny way but towards the middle they started to reach to far with they jokes trying to make you laugh by using weird references. i could see how it would be hard to follow so many funny movies that kept setting the bar high and try to provide new ways to laugh but they tried way to hard. I laughed out loud a couple times especially at the man band but i see this as a wait for DVD movie. 1 in the pink
Ground Round Chicken wings: After the movie we ended up at ground round I have no idea how this place keeps open i never see it packed and i never hear anyone talk about it, if you do let me know. She had some pasta dish which seemed koo but i had the Chicken wings now let me tell you a secret they 35 Cents each, everyday from 3-7 but they only let you get two flavors, also make sure to mention it cuz its not advertised anywhere on the menu you have to be in the know or read the banner outside the restaurant. With this deal i had to overindulge to give it a number 24 DAM! there were like 6 flavors to choose from 3 different hot sauces a teriyaki a honey BBQ and i think a garlic Parmesan. They were brought out quick nice crispy and hot but...the sauce was drizzled and if you a chicken wing fan then you know they need to be tossed and coated with sauce, these had bald spots which wasn't bad but...you know. I had the half teriyaki which was no good to salty and the honey BBQ which was great. overall with the quick service and the good wings i give it a 2 in the pink.

Scoma's and the Tonga room Fairmount hotel
On Saturday i went on a special occasion dinner and we decided to go to Scoma's at Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco. The wharf was packed on this hella nice Saturday but luckily this place had free valet parking and with a good tip dude gave us VIP parking. We didn't wait no longer than 15 minutes which gave us time for drinks at the bar I had a Manhattan on the rocks a classic she had a cran and vodka but man i forgot how much drinks were when he told me the total i flinched a little. Beside the cost of drinks which isn't their fault everything else was dope. The waiter was coo and the food was hella good i had the PASTA DIPLOMATICA, which was a pasta with white sauce and lobster tails and all other kind of seafood off the hook every bite had some sort of fresh seafood in it. She had the PASTA FISHERMAN'S STYLE which she enjoyed too both plates were huge, real big portions absolutely no complaints. 2 in the pink great service great food and portions check it out!
After that we went to the Tonga room at the fairmount hotel. Bobby fresh momma works in the hotel and she said to go check it out. Even on a Saturday night which seemed really busy for them we got seated quick. There was a live band playing some real feel good music they sounded great. The only deal was they kind of tucked us in the corner so we couldn't see the band but it wasn't a big deal. I started off with a Zombie and she had the classic Mai tai both drinks were tasty and strong which was great. we had a second round which i have to note because drinks are not cheap which was koo for two rounds no more than that. the second round was a bora bora horror and she had a Strawberry Daiquiri, we were pretty tipsy by this point. 2 in the pink the setting is dope the drinks are great but just watch the tab it can get out of control quick.

It has been a while
I Know the whole point to this blog is to go to the movies first and to try fast foods first but i just haven't been able to. But what has happened is the construction of my new website www.breakadawnjuan.com I'm pretty happy and excited about the whole project. Also I'm making out my fist press kit to pass out to the magazines, radio station, and most important music labels. Let me know if u seen anything that i should check out movies, music, or food and i will.
what i could do real quick is run down a couple of movies i rented and give u a quick rating on them.
American Street Idols: a doc about the bums on skid row in L.A it could of been done waaaaayyyy better. Some of the bums where funny but the interview crew was weak. 1 in the stink
I love you, man: funny had me laughing a few times and wasn't like the rest of them that don't know how to end. It stayed strong, but don't think on the terms of Grandma's boy think of a adult superbad. its a good movie to rent. 2 in the pink
The Soloist: This shit was good. I thought it was gonna be all super drama trying to make you cry but nope it was cool about it, just working on the story and showing that Jamie foxx is a real good actor. 2 in the pink
Obsessed: Garbage and not because of beyonce she was in it for only 20 minutes at the end. The story been done except now they make the guy a real victim. In the early 90's dude would have hit it then felt sorry now dude is all like "NO! get that fine booty away!" i don't buy it. Now on beyonce she just do too much. At times it seemed natural but most of it was just laid on too thick. 1 in the stink
