Last weekend I watched Tyler Perry’s movie “Boo 2: A Medea Halloween.” Let’s just say I will be frightened to death if there’s a “Boo 3.”
I painfully watched this movie for an hour and 41 minutes while in the back of my mind hoping I could somehow be put out of my misery quicker than several of the slaughtered characters. Don’t get me wrong; I’m a Tyler Perry fan, and I look forward to his upcoming film “Acrimony. However, “Boo 2” is definitely not a Halloween treat.
Chicken Salad Chick. Sound familiar? No worries if you haven’t heard of this new chicken salad eatery located at Christenbury Corners in Concord. I’m particular about my chicken salad, so I was hesitant when my girlfriend, Donna, made the suggestion for lunch. I tried the Olivia’s Old South Chicken salad with eggs and pickles. Delish! The potato soup was also a hit — thick and creamy to perfection. Definitely check them out. Opening day was September 12.
Check out my weekend picks.
