Ferris Buller's Day Off

Ferris Buller's Day Off

It was 30 years ago on, June 5, 1985, that High School Senior Ferris Bueller took the day off from school.  This movie was released in one year later.  Ferris Bueller'sDay Off was not only written and produced by John Hughes but he also directed this 1986 comedy blockbuster.  The movie is about how  Ferris Bueller (MatthewBroderick) cons his parents (Cindy Pickett and Lyman Ward) into thinking he is so sick that they let him take the day off from school. We follow along and actually see what he actual does on his day off.  His sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey) knows that Ferris is lying but can't prove it. The principal of the school Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) is also after Ferris and want to catch him in his lie. This movie also stars Alan Ruck as Ferris' hypochondriac and depressed best friend Cameron who along with Ferris's girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) goes along for the adventure.  We should also mention Ben Stein as the teacher taking attendance.

The other thing in this movie that is famous is that you see some of the iconic Chicago landmarks. Parts of this movie was also filmed in Los Angeles.

Here is a list of the locations in this movie:

Movie Night

First blog will be a movie night at home.  Invite a few of your friends to your house for dinner and a movie. We figured that most of the country is so tired of the horrible weather we have been having and it may be hard to actually go to the movie theater, why not host a movie night at home. To keep you and your guests warm serve good old fashion comfort food.

We think the perfect comfort food to serve at your movie night is a stew of your choice.  We should tell you that Rose is a vegetarian and Lyssa Marie is not.  The polite thing to do when you are having a party is have food choices so everyone can have something to eat and enjoy.  You don’t have to serve meatless options but you may even have friends and family that can’t eat certain foods for health reasons so why not be a good hostess and have food so that every guest is happy and well fed. Again, these are just mear suggestions and you don’t have to follow them. Please, we do not want to hear how Rose should eat meat because she will never tell you not to eat meat that is a person's choice.

You can make 2 types of stew and it is easy.  We think the easiest thing to make is stew because it is basically a drop everything in a pot recipe. By that we mean you drop everything in one pot and let it cook all day. Easy? Right?  You might say it is hard because some of the veggies need peeling and chopping, well, that can be true, but, these days with more ready to use packaging it makes it easier. Stew also makes the house smell good. Stew is a great comfort food for a winter movie night.  Some biscuits are great for dipping in any leftover sauce. Even easier to make. You open the package and put on a baking pan and put it in the oven.

Since it is a movie night you will need snacks.  You should get a mixed veggie platter.  They sell them at any grocery store all ready cut up with a dip.  You should also have chips and pretzels.  Don’t forget the popcorn. If you have an air popper you can have an endless supply.

After the movie you can have dessert.  We will suggest a Parfait, again very easy.  What it consist of is, pound cake cut in cubes and whipped cream layered in a glass.  If you have friends who are watching their weight why not just serve fruit.

There you have it your simple movie night with comfort food.

The movies we chose for this blog are romantic movies that anyone can enjoy.  The theme of both movies is about knowing who you want to spend the rest of your life with and how to keep them in your life. These movies complement each other.  You can watch just one or have a double feature.

We chose You’ve Got Mail. This movie is a modern day remake of the movies "The Shop Around the Corner" (1940) starring Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O'Sullivan  and "In the Good Old Summertime" 1949 starring Judy Garland and Van Johnson.

Meg Ryan plays the role of Kathleen Kelly. Tom Hanks plays the role of Joe Fox. You've Got Mail is the story of two New Yorkers who have an anonymous romance online.  What they don't know that in fact in real life they are in rivals.  Both Kathleen and Joe own competing bookstores. Joe's bookstore is a chain store while Kathleen owns a smaller store that Joe eventually puts out of business.  What they also don't know is each are involved with other people.

We watch as their love blossoms and if they can put their rivalry behind them.  For a synopsis of the movie look at the page on the side of this blog.

The other movie is The Vow. This movie is a movie inspired by the real life story of the couple Kim and Krickitt Carpenter.  The movie stars Channing Tatum & Rachel McAdams as Leo and Paige a couple madly in love but because of a bad car accident  Paige loses her memory and doesn’t remember she ever was married or in love with him.

Leo described this “moments of impacts.” His theory is that, these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity that completely turn our lives upside down actually end up defining who we are.” 

This movie follows as Paige tries to regain her memory and the couple falling back in love.. For a synopsis of the movie look at the page on the side of this blog.
