S. Darko. Shrek 2. Saw II. Honey I Blew Up the Kid. Shrek the Third. Step Up 2, Shrek Forever After, Saws 2-6 plus the upcoming 7 and 8… It seems the trend in movies these days is to take a decently well-made movie and spoil it by making a completely unnecessary sequel or string of sequels. Now the sequel doesn’t ALWAYS suck, although many of them do, but the real problem is just that having a mediocre sequel takes away from the awesomeness that was the original.
Fiona’s Wicked Minty Apple Cider was good, but it was the unnecessary sequel to the beloved Meg’s Apple Cider.
You got your apple juice. You got your chai. You got your mint. It’s pretty straightforward. Now, we know that apple and chai mix well, but mint really doesn’t go with either flavor, even simply as an undertone. I think it’s because you have two strong flavors doing battle upon your palate. And they’re both tingly flavors: Malfoy mint vs. Cho Chang chai, zinging tickle charms back and forth in a wizard’s duel of apple-icious proportions.
3 stars
I’ll give Fiona 3 stars, but I really don’t think she’s got anything new to offer. However, I’m sure she’ll be your friend if you’re on a coffee date and want to make sure your breath is minty fresh when you make out after you’ve had your caffeine fix. Just sayin’.
Peace, love and April showers,
Miss Rex
