Movie Recommendation // Snowpiercer

It's been quite a while since I did a movie recommendation post, but I've been meaning to share quite a few with you all!  Today's recommendation is for a really great film titled Snowpiercer.  I will admit that before I watched it, I knew absolutely nothing about it other than the fact that I hoped it would be better than the name.  For some reason, the title was really silly sounding to me.  Boy am I glad I didn't judge the movie by the title.  It's excellent!

Plot Summary from IMDB:

Set in a future where a failed climate-change experiment kills all life on the planet except for a lucky few who boarded the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe, where a class system emerges.

Alright so first things first: the cast.  The cast for this is FANTASTIC!!  Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, and Ed Harris?!  Jeeez!  I totally did not recognize Chris Evans in the very beginning, but let me tell you...black bearded and dirty is a really good look for him (I know what you're thinking...what ISN'T a good look for him right?  Seriously though.)  Tilda Swinton always blows me away, but her performance as a dorky evil bitch villain is simply amazing.  You'll love hating her-I promise.

   

Also...this sweet bubbly school teacher is fucking nuts.  Sorry, I know this photo seems out of place, but I couldn't do this recommendation without an image of her. 

So aside from the cast, what did I love so much about Snowpiercer?  The colors, cinematography, and plot.  I'm gonna repeat myself and say that not only was I skeptical that this film was going be any good after reading the title, but after reading the synopsis...I was almost sure that it was too outrageous to pull off.  You've basically got an apocalyptic dystopian society on a never ending train ride from hell where the leader has taken it upon him/herself to separate it's passengers into a caste system and things get BAD.  Really really bad. 

This is Chris Evan's after finding out that you haven't seen this film....so go watch it!! :)

  

Already seen Snowpiercer?  I'd love to know your thoughts on it!!!

I've been working on creating new designs in preparation for the shop launch!  Here are a few of the newest designs!

Pennywise and Dexter!  

 Matthew and I went to see Tusk on Monday, and oh my gosh...dude...this movie is so fucking funny!!!  It's definitely super creepy, but I wasn't expecting it to be so funny!  I can't wait to buy it on Blu-ray when it's released!  I couldn't help myself, and did an illustration with one of my favorite quotes from the movie.

Movie Snack: Zucchini Fries

While browsing yummy recipes recently, I came across a simple baked zucchini fries recipe and thought it would make a perfect movie snack!  It's healthier than frying, and they turned out to be reeeally good.

I used a recipe that I found on The Comfort of Cooking. There are lots of great recipes there so definitely check it out!

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 medium Zucchini sliced in strips
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3 Tbsp flour
• 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
• 2 Tbs Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
• Salt & Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425 and spray baking pan with cooking spray.
2. In one bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Place flour in a second bowl.  Place bread crumbs, garlic, and Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.  Set aside.
3. Dip Zucchini sticks in flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixture and coat evenly. (This gets pretty messy by the way!) Place those bad boys on the baking pan.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.  I served mine with marinara, but use whatever dip you like!

MOVIE RECOMMENDATION:

Probably my favorite performance by Leo EVER!  This movie is amazing-unless you're offended by sex, drugs, and profane language...in which case you might wanna opt for something else!
