Cult Movies + Pinata

Had a pretty fantastic weekend entertaining myself with simple pleasures called cult movies and pinatas. MN and I decided to chill at home on Sunday and we ended up having more fun indoor than outdoor.

MN introduced me to cult movies and to my surprise, I was hooked and absolutely love it! Clerks II is awesome. Every part of this movie is worth watching and Kevin Smith really plays to the fans of his films. This movie is hailed as an icon of indie films and boy, it is chock full of clever retorts and smutty commentary that knock some sense into my head.

I have not watch the first sequel of this movie which according to MN, was shot entirely in black&white, but I can tell that the two sequels are pretty excellent together. Its basically about two underachieving twosome moving on from working in a convenient store called Quick Stop to frying burgers at Mooby's. Their lives revolve around trash talk and throwing around crude sexual humor as a way of passing the time at the joint. One of them, Dante is quitting Jersey for Florida to wed his typical rich fiance, Emma but somehow, his plan gets complicated along the way because of his devotion to his manager, Becky.

Two reasons why I like Clerks II are because it is sincere and for the reason that Jay and Silent Bob are totally comical to the max. Kudos to Kevin Smith for bringing it back after 12 years.



Another movie that I watched was Zombieland; another great laugh after Shaun of The Dead and Army of Darkness. I'm not a fan of Army of Darkness but if to compare between Shaun of The Dead and Zombieland, I still prefer Shaun of The Dead. What's lacking, as MN would aptly put, is that Zombieland doesn't quite seem to fit as yet another cult-zombie-movies. However, Zombieland stand on its own style and has quite a solid storyline which I love.



Between sexy-looking vampires and freaky-funny zombies, I'll pick the latter any day now.

I can't wait to go home and smash some pinatas tonight. Made them on Sunday and trust me, its actually pretty simple to do! Rather than buying it
ridiculously for a hundred bucks, this brightly-colored papier-mache thats gonna be smashed in the end, can be made in a few easy steps!


Here's one website complete with vids that I found very helpful. Perhaps, you too wanna make your own pinata? I'll share how my pinatas look like in the next entry :)
