We all know the casinos as a great source of entertainment that have an established place in many cultures across the world – both real and virtual ones. You can check out the pros and cons of internet casinos yourself! However, it might be a little tough to carry the gambling theme over to the screen. And some attempts have ended incomplete failure. Perhaps you never even heard of them before, but here they are, lost in history.
Whether you want to know how to fix something around the home or you want to learn how to develop websites, technology has made it possible for you to do this using merely a smartphone. It is pretty crazy to think that not so long ago, the only way you could work out how to change a headlight bulb in your car was to use the big manual! These days, you simply head to Google, type in your search keywords, and within five minutes, you;re a master of virtually any task.
Every Tuesday, I review the newest Blu-ray releases and let you know whether they’re worth buying, renting or skipping, along with a breakdown of the included extras. If you see something you like, click on the cover art to purchase the Blu-ray from Amazon, and be sure to share each week’s column on social media with your friends.
Ben Affleck’s directorial career suffers its first major setback with “Live by Night,” a gorgeously crafted gangster film that doesn’t really add anything new to the genre. It’s basically a hodgepodge of much better movies, and while it features some great action and performances, the execution itself is pretty clunky. Working once again from a novel by Dennis Lehane, Affleck is unable to condense the sprawling crime drama into a cohesive two-hour film; he simply tries to do too much, tackling serious themes like race and religion while also juggling a number of subplots that could have easily been excised. Though fans of Affleck’s previous movies will still find plenty to enjoy here, “Live by Night” is easily his weakest directorial effort to date.
Extras include an audio commentary by director/writer/star Ben Affleck, a series of featurettes on the characters, author Dennis Lehane and the car chase sequence, and deleted scenes with optional commentary. FINAL VERDICT: RENT
Before you log into your online sports book account, you need to remind yourself of the risk involved with betting on sports. Many a sports bettor has fancied himself to be a successful, astute sports gambler only to be eventually taken to the woodshed and rendered broke. Under no circumstances should you ever wager more than you can afford to lose. As long as the risk is understood, there’s a decent chance the risk can be managed and minimized with good betting practices.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Moving on, I must admit that I’ve been a bit distracted to the point where it only just occurred to me after finishing this post that it would go live on America’s second biggest drinking holiday. I honestly can’t say that there’s anything remotely Irish about it, but I suppose you could try it with Irish Whiskey instead of brandy. No one’s stopping you!
Anyhow, it’s not an original thought of mine that the name of this week’s drink invites “Who’s on first?”-style comic confusion. After all, this blog is largely devoted to the kind of drinks from the past that have been slowly but steadily gaining an increasing foothold throughout the early days of this still young century. Still, when we’re talking about the Classic Cocktail, we’re not talking about the classic cocktail but a classic cocktail, if you follow me.
Like last week’s DOTW, the Classic Cocktail comes to us originally from Harry Craddock’s depression era mixed drink ur-text, “The Savoy Cocktail Book,” as filtered through founding cocktailian Gary Regan’s 2003 “The Joy of Mixology.” However, I’m much more found of this week’s entry, which is a bit more elaborate but also tastier. It could also easily be thought of as something of a souped-up Sidecar. It’s definitely a very nice variation on the theme. See what you think.
