Movie - Red Riding Hood (2011) [+] A man-kliling wolf stalks an isolated village. Two village youths vie for the affections of Valerie (Amanda Seyfried). Father Solomon (Gary Oldman) and his men-at-arms arrive, declaring that the wolf is not an outside enemy, but a werewolf and most probably someone in the village. Suspicions abound... This movie combines elements of Little Red Riding Hood with Werewolf the mafia-like game and with hints of supernatural romance. In the end it does kind of work.

Movie - The Good Dinosaur (2015) [/] Pixar animated film. In an alternate Earth where intelligent dinosaurs roam, young Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) falls in the river and is washed down far from home. Trying to make his way back home his only companion turns out to be the dog-like creature that had been raiding the family barn, a human boy called Spot by Arlo... I found the first half boring and stopped watching. A couple of weeks later I managed to finish watching the rest of the film and the second half is significantly better.

Juanita's Tortilla Chips [-] Safeway had Mission, Tostitos, Juanita's and one other. I usually get Casa Chicas which are pretty good and Mission is a good standard chip. Tostitos is not to my preference though good quality, so it's Casa Chicas, Mission, Tostitos and all three are good choices. But I wanted to try a new brand and this was a bad choice. It does not quite taste like tortilla chips, like a missing ingredient or an extra bad-flavor ingredient is in there.
