Film Quizzes: Buddy Movies

After watching the hilarious action 22 Jump Street the other day (sequel to 21 Jump Street), I realised that while I have talked about bromances in TV shows, I have yet to do a quiz for a similar theme in films.  And there are plenty to choose from, especially when they have to try and save the day. See if you can work out the six buddy action films below, chosen in order of age. If you can work out all six before looking at the answers below, give yourself the highest of bromance hugs.

Reviews and Other Features: Mexican Food

Mexico is a wonderful country, and one that I have been fortunate enough to visit more than a few times. It is like no other country I have visited, in part due to the family and friends I have there, and the memories I have created.  But even without my connection to the place, it is still a country with its own individual beauty that just has to be experienced. I have put up plenty of photographs from my past trips there, but this time I was determined to help explain in a series of features, what makes Mexico so magical. In this post, I will be focusing on food.
