Movie Review (continual)

OK, so I have come to the conclusion that if Robert & Ebert give 2 thumbs up, we don't watch it. If they give it two thumbs down, it's probably a great movie!!! If they win all sorts of awards at the Grammies, again, we probably won't like them at all. Some fine examples:

*No Country for Old Men - (DEB) terrible!!! lost brain cells and valuable time watching this senseless movie.
*There will be Blood - (DEB) same exact thing. terrible. what are people thinking when they say these movies are good, or even worse, great?? are they on drugs, or what????
*The Painted Veil - GALS
*The Game Plan - GFM

*The Bee Movie - GFM
*We Own the Night - DEB
*Evan Almighty - GFM
*Transformers - T
*I Am Legend - T

*Resurrecting the Champ - GFM (with the exception of a handful of unnecessary language)

*National Treasure 2 - GFM

*Sweeney Todd - DEB - HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!
*Untraceable - T - disturbing images though & a hand full of choice words
*The Final Season - GFM

*Moondance Alexander - GFM

Steph's Ratings:

DEB- don't even bother

GALS- good adult love story

GFM- good family movie

GREAT!!

T- tolerable

Starting A New

The time has come where I actually have some time to write and share! Amazing I know.

First news update is The Old Opera Cafe has been open now for over a year. We actually just celebrated our 1 year anniversary the last weekend in March. Time has flown by, I can't believe that it's actually been a year. We have learned so much, and have grown so much as well; in several different ways. Our store is beautiful as you will see. I know I started a page to show you all the step by step progress as we went along, but as you can tell, it was time to WORK, not type, so I wasn't able to do that. I have included some photo's though of our finished product for you to see what our place looks like. It's always a great day at The Old Opera Cafe! Hopefully you will at one time or another be able to see it in person.

Second news update: We are ready to take on another project. "Are you crazy" you might ask..... well, what exactly defines crazy? We were not seeking to open another location, but were approached about it by a resident of Story City. They said, "What will it take for you to come to Story City?" My response of course, "cash." So, we are going to open another store in Story City Iowa! It's about 20 minutes north west of Nevada where our current location is. It is going to be a full restaurant, offering a full breakfast, lunch, as well as a full dinner menu and dessert. Wine, beer, appetizers, etc. We are very excited about it, and don't have many details to share at this time. We have much paper work in the "works" that will determine when we will actually open. Definitely by fall. We have a few investors and have a few more that we are seeking out to help finance this adventure.

We are so very excited about this new journey that we are about to embark on. I'll try to keep this updated a little more frequently than I have in the past year!!! Are you laughing? I haven't written anything in the last year!! Sorry about that. I'll try my best to keep you up to date!

Thanks for checking in with the Mehmens!
