Pibb Thrillin Vanilla


 Truth be told, I had vanilla flavored sodas. All of them....except maybe this one. Not my favorite but because it carries the taste of Pibb with it, it's bearable. The guy was very generous in giving me several cans of this, which I suspect was because he knew this was a flavor that gets old quick. 

Would I drink one again? Sure. Would I choose anything else over this one? Probably. 

But in my area, where Pibb is scarce, beggars can't be choosers. So if this is all I got, I'm not complaining.

Pibb Zero


 If you don't know, I love me some pibb! A few months ago at a wedding, I made out like a bandit at the house where the reception was, when I discovered the owner of the house loved Pibb too. We went in the back of the house where he showed me all sorts of flavors from Pibb and even gave me a few of each to enjoy. 

Needless to say, I've been slowly drinking through my stash (once or twice a week) for the past few months and now it's time for my reviews!

First off is Pibb Zero. I've had this before because a friend of mine from Austin TX, came in one year with 2 cases of it. My response? "Are you asking for my hand in marriage? Because if so, the answer's yes!"

She wasn't, but I enjoyed the Pibb anyway. Not really that much of a difference, which is a good thing. I hear these are super hard to come by too, so I appreciated the gift. 

More reviews coming tomorrow...

Bang Lime Pop Drop (review)

I used to adore Bang energy. The Coke sued them, bankrupted them, bought them and cut out almost every flavor I enjoyed. 

Now I RARELY get them because the only flavor they still have around I like (Sour Heads) is impossible to find around here, plus I've moved on to Ghost energy drinks now. 

But whenever I see a new flavor...I have to try it for old times sake. 

The name alone reminded me of one of the my favorite flavors Lemon Drop so I was hoping for something good. Instead, I got middle of the road. 

It beats the Key Lime Pie flavor from back in the day (which was one of my least favorites) but fell short of expectations. 

I really wish they'd bring back the Lemon Drop flavor. (sigh)

Have a good weekend folks!

Dracula (Review)


 Holy cow, I've seen the best Dracula movie of all time. 

Not only that but (at the moment) the best streaming movie I've seen this year. Shockingly good. Excellent, I would even say. 

The trailer didn't look like much but my goodness, how this movie pays off. 

Well worth your time if you haven't seen it already. I couldn't believe how engaging the plot, characters and scenery was in this movie. Amazing. 

I just hope this isn't the only movie to "wow" me this year. 

See it.

We Bury the Dead (review)


 When an explosion happens off the coast of Tasmania, it kills everyone within a 55 mile radius. Yet some are known to come back to life after the event. 

It's our protagonist job of cleaning up the dead, reporting those who still walk to the army to kill and (secretly) find out what happened to her husband. 

It's a "zombie" movie that wants to be something different and in return, ends of being something completely boring. 

It's been a long time since I've quit a movie halfway in. Usually, i can plow through it while playing games or looking up stuff on the internet. But not this one. It got so bad, that I ended up watching a history of the 1969 baseball season instead. It was THAT bad. 

What a waste of time, money and effort (if there was any) in this movie. Avoid at all cost.

Outlander (review)

Catching up with my reviews of movies I've seen this year come "Outlander" from 2007. 

I never knew this movie even existed until a friend told me about it a few months ago. 

The story of man who crashes his spaceship on earth during the time of the vikings. With the help of a local clan, he tracks down a beasts that came with him on his ship. 

It's a wild tale that keeps you interested yet comes up short in ways I can't describe. I felt like the premise was there as well as some of the scenes but as a whole the movie was missing something to put it on a higher scale for me. 

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the movie but in the end felt it came up short.

Strange Harvest (review)


 A while back my nephew wanted to watch this movie made to look like a documentary (they even dedicated it to the fake victims in the film) about a serial killer who also has a supernatural essence surrounding his killings. 

Twice I had to remind his friends that this was a movie and not an actual event....yep. 

Guess the movie was so good it had them fooled....twice. I can't say for sure but I even think I saw one of them trying to look up information about the serial killer on the phone. 

Geez. 

Anyway, is it worth the watch? Meh. It's not bad but really nothing to impress.
