Lounging at the movies:

Miami Vice (2006)
Starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Fox. With two excellent action actors such as Jamie Fox and Colin Farrell you would think it would be hard to make a crappy movie but somehow they did. There is a lot of talk, talk, talk and we expected more action. Some parts of the movie resembled soft porn but not enough for us to recommend this film. Go for a walk for 135 minutes and you will have made better use of your time.

The Decent (2005)
A group of friends decide to go caving to try and get on with their lives after a tragic accident that takes the lives of one of their families. Let me tell you, we jumped more than once and may have even screamed once. This movie takes place in the small confines of an uncharted cave which is the home of some very unsavory animals. We originally thought there would be cave dwelling hillbillies but things became much worse than anything we could imagine. 4 thumbs up and a pinch on the butt. An excellent horror film.

Lounge Eats: Cuban Pork Roast

If you have been here at The Lounge long you know we like Cuban style food, especially if the recipe includes alcohol. Well this recipe has both, Cuban flair and alcohol, so put on your goggles and lets cook.

Marinade:
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup rum (+ 4 shots, separate)
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
3 Tbs olive oil
1/2 to 1 tsp black pepper
1 (4-6 pound) boneless pork roast

Drink a shot of the rum and mix up the marinade. Reserve about 1/2 cup of marinade for basting. Place roast and remaining marinade in a zip lock bag and marinate overnight.

To cook the roast have another shot of rum and preheat the oven to 325. If you're a light drinker preheat the oven first to avoid injury.

Put the roast on a rack in a roasting pan with a cup or so of water in the bottom. Bake 1.5 to 2 hours, basting now and then with reserved marinade (Not the marinade you used to season the roast with). Have another shot of Rum.

Check the roast with a meat thermometer When the thermometer reaches 155 degrees F. it is done. Cover with a foil and let it sit for 10 minutes. Carve the meat into slices and drink another shot of Rum. Again if you are alight drinker carve the roast first.

Phobia Of The Month:
Achluophobia- Fear of darkness

This would suck since there about half of a persons existence is lived in the dark. I bet Eskimos would freak out during the dark season.
