"It's Alive"

As the month of February wraps up and the media has overdosed us all on sappy couples love stories and where they first met, like we really wanted to know... I have in store for us one more love story, but this time it's not between 2 humans, but between a young boy and his dog. This week I'm going to keep us in that mindset of bringing to life the impossible with the Frankenstein theme once again for this week's flick! Now I ask you what do thunderstorms, a cat that can prophesize the future with its poo, and a weenie dog have in common? Why its this week's "Monster Flick" of course!

 

"Frankenweenie"

 

 

 

This flick isn't so much scary, but I promise you that you'll be thoroughly entertained regardless if you're a little kid or a big kid as Tim Burton animations never disappoint. I was inspired to chose this flick due to a loss this past week of my parrot "Reet" and I could closely relate to the main character Victor Frankenstein and wishing I could still see my beloved Reet flying around my home in her almost normal self. After seeing this movie it definitely puts you back into "real life perspective" that all things are better laying to rest in peace than trying co-create a new warped form of life of your animal friends! Anyways back to the flick...Tim Burton brings you some amazing characterization in his animation on this film and doesn't add a hint of color throughout and yet the film itself is one of the most colorful I've seen in a while! Also I applaud the return of seeing Winona Ryder as the voice over for the character Elsa Van Helsing and hope to see her in more future Burton films.While not giving away the story, I will give you one of my favorite parts that tickled me was watching animation being entertained on the couch by watching real people acting in an old horror movie...brilliant! 

 

 

 

 

 

This week I was in the mood for comfort food and thought what a no brainer that to use our movie title as our dish theme as well...so this week we'll be serving up our own "Frankenweenies"!

 

Here are some ingredients I'm suggesting you can use...

 

 

 

Yes that is my weenie "Oscar" caught in this picture!

 

-I used turkey dogs, but if your adventurous and don't mind where your meat comes from go for the real frankfurters!

-buns

-pickled pepper relish

-bacon cheddar spread

-mustard

things I left off, but feel free to add...

-chili

-ketchup

-cheese whiz

-anchovies

-and if your going for that everything and the kitchen sink thing why not add some peanut butter!

(Then you'll really be making a statement that it's alive while eating your creation!)



 

 

Here is what my creation just so happened to look like!
