Cinemavino

We all watched the Joker, and we all have strong opinions from it.  For this surprise episode, we talk about Joaquin Phoenix’s incarnation of the Joker.  Plus, we drink some tasty red wine.

You can read my review of the movie here.

The wines we drink can be found here.  And here.

Kick back, and enjoy some Cinemavino!

For good behavior, my fifth grade class was awarded with a monthly movie.  Somewhere in there, Watership Down made the cut.  It’s a weird, whacked-out animated film that crawled into my nightmares for several weeks after.  As a…ahem..children’s movie, this sum’bitch tackles some heavy subjects:  Death, forced labor, extinction, deforestation, etc.  Bunnies are ripping each other’s throats out, people!  My wife and I have a son on the way, and he will NOT be watching this movie.  At least ’till he’s thirty, anyway.

So, yeah, the boys and I booze it up and watch Watership Down.  Discussion follows.  And probably therapy after that.  We drink a little bubbly, rose, and Scotch for my upcoming ebook, which will pair wine (and a little whiskey) with movies.  To learn more about what we drink, follow these links:

Also, the rosé….

And the Scotch:

This week, we screen an over-the-top 90s classic, The Rock.  We got cornball one-liners, frantic Michael Bay direction, and a wacky chase through the streets of San Francisco.  While we’re talking about the City by the Bay, the boys and I drink a cocktail that’s long been a local favorite.  It’s called a Boothby, and here’s a little more info:

1 oz. Bourbon

1 oz. Sweet Vermouth

2 dashes bitters

Pour over ice in a cocktail shaker, serve over ice.

Top it with a splash of dry bubbly.

Garnish with a cherry if you like!

It’s delicious and refreshing, kinda like a highfalutin Manhattan.  Enjoy it, and enjoy this episode of Cinemavino!

For this week’s Cinemavino, we settle back into our routine:  Draw a movie, drink, and screen it.  This episode, the 80s classic Three Amigos is the lucky film.  I watched it a thousand times as a kid, but it’s been years.  Movies like that often feel like a familiar, favorite blanket, and this one was no different.

In keeping with the movie’s Mexican setting, the boys and I down a few Mexican beers and take too many shots of Cimarron tequila.  If we sound goofy by the end, that’s why.  This one was too much fun.  Enjoy!

* One correction:  I mention that Amigos was considered by Steven Spielberg at one point, with Martin, Dan Ackroyd, and John Belushi.  We’ll blame the reposado:  Martin, Bill Murray, and Robin Williams are the most commonly cited stars Spielberg had in mind.
