video review : Locke

video review : Locke

Ivan Locke is a concrete foreman, husband and father who needs to get his priorities in order. The whole movie consists of him driving his BMW, talking to people via Bluetooth and those conversations drive the narrative interestingly enough. It’s his reason for the trip under the circumstances presented that border absurdity.

Mountain Dew : Sweet Lightning

Mountain Dew : Sweet Lightning

I understand the Sweet part. It’s the Lightning that’s confusing. This isn’t promoted as an energy drink and the taste, which has a peachy citrus vibe, isn’t particularly jolting, but I imagine a cold cup would be nice and refreshing on a lazy summer day.

You’re not supposed to drink it by itself. Sweet Lightning, a version of Mountain Dew, is apparently made for the sole purpose of drinking it while you eat a Breast, Drumstick or Thigh from Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is the only place to get it.

Java Monster : Loca Moca

Java Monster : Loca Moca

The name is silly, but the gist is correct. This Java Monster is a crazy (Loca) version of a mocha; a rich creamy coffee with a hint of chocolate. The twist is that you drink it cold; its “killer” flavor is indeed good; and get a lot more of an energy boost than your average cup of joe.
