Chainsaw Blues

Have you seen the previews for Employee of the Month—that romantic comedy about discount superstore employees? I can't guarantee that it will suck, but I'm going to anyway. Does Hollywood really have room for Dane Cook and Ryan Reynolds? I say they should have a fight to the death, and...

Have you seen the previews for Employee of the Month—that romantic comedy about discount superstore employees? I can't guarantee that it will suck, but I'm going to anyway. Does Hollywood really have room for Dane Cook and Ryan Reynolds? I say they should have a fight to the death, and you should watch Bruce Campbell instead. Because, if you need some discount superstore employee-focused entertainment, there's only one cure: Army of Darkness. And Tuesday night, it's playing as a part of the B-Reel series at the Belmont Hotel, 901 Fort Worth Ave. You'll get a chainsaw-wielding discount superstore hero with an amazing chin, plus boomsticks and a spell book made of human skin. Oh, and it's free. Yeah, free. Show starts at 8 p.m. Bring some bucks for beer and wine. Call 214-393-2300 or visit belmontdallas.com.

Alice Laussade writes about food, kids, music, and anything else she finds to be completely ridiculous. She created and hosts the Dallas event, Meat Fight, which is a barbecue competition and fundraiser that benefits the National MS Society. Last year, the event raised $100,000 for people living with MS, and 750 people could be seen shoving sausage links into their faces. And one time, she won a James Beard Award for Humor in Writing. That was pretty cool.
