MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER Alexis Norton and Laurel East

Mom and I sat down with a beautiful Thai lunch and watched Session 9. We talked trivia and about the director, then gave our tips for hair care and our thoughts on corporate greed. Good times. Regardless, find this movie. It's a great watch.

Mom and I sat down and watched a requested Bubba Ho-Tep. Elvis. JFK. A Mummy. What more is there to say? We had a rest home themed meal of Salisbury Steak and mashed potatoes, steamed veg and rolls. We talked Don Coscarelli and a good bit on the passing of Roger Corman.

Mom and I sat down and watched The Terminator. We had a lovely diner theme meal and talked trivia and James Cameron. We get a little political at the end, and Alexis gets a little over animated. You've been warned.

Mom and I sat down just before St Patrick's Day to celebrate the true start of spring-Spring Training, by watching Major League. We talk baseball, name changes and trivia while enjoying a sweet ballpark menu of hot dogs, hot pretzel bites and cold beers.

To honor a recently deceased family member, Mom and I watched a movie that would have surely been one of his favorites, 1979's Alien. We had a protein paste type meal of Red Beans and Rice with cornbread as our theme meal and talked trivia, Ridley Scott and just how much cigarette smoke you can have in an oxygen rich environment.

Mom and I sat down and watched John Carpenter's They Live. We talked a little trivia before getting to the nitty gritty and talking politics and homelessness. This movie was made in the 80's but even now, 35 years later, the message is the same. And that's the real horror of the whole thing. There isn't much food in this movie, so our theme meal was to consume, so we went out and bought bagel sandwiches and fancy coffee drinks.
