The first problem I have this movie is that I don't see old man Sly as Rambo, I see him as Rocky so seeing Rocky to go off and kill a bunch of people was not as fulfilling as it should have been cause that's not Rocky. The other problem with the movie was I felt that most of the actors were not that great. There some people that just felt wooden and they just were reading lines and not acting. Sly was seeming the only person who wanted to do the movie, based on the other performers acting. This is one sequel I do not think we needed.

Hustlers: reasons to never drink alone
Based on a true story we finally get the story that everyone wants, strippers taking revenge on Wall Street traders for causing the financial crisis. It is a bit odd that Cardi B is in the movie since she has admitted to doing the crime that the main characters are doing in the movie. Guess that's not important. The movie does do a good job of showing how the power of greed can impact people and cause them to do vile things.
Stories to Tell in the dark: a not really scary, scary movie?
Ready or not than Stories to tell in the dark guess I was on a horror kick for a week and it's not even October yet! This movie though was not the scary and to me was a bit of a dud. The problem was the main character was the person who caused all the trouble and the only bad thing that happened to her was two of her friends went missing and have not returned. I did not feel like there was any lesson for her. She was just a static character who failed to develop in any way.
Ready or Not : Hide and Seek is actually a very scary concept
This is not the first story that has turned the concept of Hide in Seek to a horror story. Think about how many stories are based of the Most Dangerous Game. Well this is another one. When a family makes a deal with the devil, the devil always collects his dues and in this case it is the requirement to play a game every time a family member gets married. This time it is hide and seek. The De Lamas family must hunt down and kill the newest member of the family Grace (Samara Weaving). Grace through is not going down without a fight.
Smoke 2.0 got the bread pudding this time
Went back to Smoke BBQ (34 W Merchant St, Audubon, NJ 08106) and again the brisket was excellent. You can check out my review of the brisket here But this trip is about the sides and the Bread Pudding.

Macona bbq
Macona on Haddon Ave in Collingswood is bringing the flavors of Austin right to South Jersey. This small shop is delivering on the flavor and the cool aspect is that all that keeps you from the kitchen is a small curtain so you can peer behind and see where the magic is happening.
Now the menu is always changing as they experiment with new flavors to give you a new unique experience each time that you go. This was the menu when I went last.

Heart of BBQ: Austin Texas
Now I am starting with a disclaimer I am going to start with the bad parts of the trip and work to the good. Why you ask? Well because when I consider what I am going to blog about or post on social media I think of a chapter from "The Defining Decade" by Meg Jay on how putting all these great pictures up causes isolation by the people who see it, she does a much better job explaining it so give her book a read. That's the exact opposite of what my goal is so I'll start with the less than great parts and than hit you with the great pictures of food.
