...In which our heroine visits the trailer park.

Trailers for your enjoyment:

Kick Ass - Every trailer I see for this makes me want to see it more. Good marketing, Matthew Vaughn.


Fish Tank - I love coming of age films, especially foreign ones like Stealing Beauty or Waterland. And Michael Fassbender is so handsome.


Frozen - The production value doesn't look too high, but something about being stuck on a ski lift in the freezing cold is pretty scary.


Tucker and Dale vs. Evil - I'm all about horror comedy, and especially horror comedy that subverts the genre.


A Prophet - Because we all need some gangster badassery, and this badassery is critically acclaimed.


Red Riding Trilogy - More British cinema, this time modern crime noir.



And a quick recommendation for The Depot Diner. I saw it last week on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and so of course we took an adventure to eat there. Despite defining hole in the wall - 4 booths, about 12 counter seats and one big table - the food was so awesome. They're very old school, without even a soda fountain and a two-man cooking operation. I had the Pot Roast sandwich, a Coke, remarkable because it was in the bottle, and my mom and I shared the homemade donut holes with mocha dipping sauce. Everything was fully homemade and delicious. Might be the best Chicago diner I've been to.
