Movie'n'Mexican 2008

This year's Movie'n'Mexican took place last night.

I don't really know how this annual event got started. I think just after Christmas about 8 or 9 years ago OlderSon and The Equestrienne went out for Mexican food, and then saw a movie, and the following year, more family members joined in, and it's now become a family ritual, all part of the Christmas and New Year holiday celebration.

And it always has to be Mexican food.
Chinese, Greek, Italian.... just not acceptable! Viva Mexico!

We saw JUNO. A great little movie. Nobody dies a horrible death, there are no fiery explosions and no guns, knives, or other weapons of mass destruction. No detectives. No FBI agents lurking in the shadows. Just a story about people and the human condition. And the leading lady, if you can call her that as she is definitely no lady, is a marvellous character, memorably played by Canadian actor Ellen Page. See it... you'll like it!

And then to eat. BarBurrito on Yonge Street. Qesadillas. Tacos. Nachos. Steak Burrito with hot sauce. The Space Cadet thought he could eat two large ones, but finally had to concede defeat and share the second one with OlderSon.
That's it, folks.
I declare Christmas and New Year celebrations are now officially over.

Movie'n'Mexican 2007

For a few years now, our extended family Christmas/New Year tradition is to go out for Mexican food followed by a movie. Last night was the chosen night. Mariachi's on Yonge Street.... great food, not too spicy, Mariachi music in the background, good cold Mexican beer, good company, good service. Then the movie. Let me insert a warning here. If you are inclined to see "For Your Consideration" I suggest you use some reconsideration... IMHO it's absolute rubbish! I should have known when we first entered the cinema, there were only 12 people watching the film, and eight of them were US!
