Four Rooms

Wednesday, September 28, 2009 we watched the cult film Four Rooms (1995) and made Harvest Pumpkin Soup

We accidentally backed into a great Halloween theme for this week's movie night. The World Series distracted us and we almost skipped this week altogether, but Barb had this dvd at home and it was actually a perfect fit.

This odd film was a collection of 4 related stories by 4 directors that take place in 4 rooms at the Mon Signor Hotel. Quirky and spastic bellhop Ted (Tim Roth) encounters some wild misadventures his first night on the job: witches in a coven, an deadly domestic dispute, mischievous kids of a gangster who find a rotting prostitute under the mattress and set the room ablaze, and finally a Hollywood playboy (Quentin Tarantino) and his posse execute a wild wager. With a long list of famous faces and non-stop surprises Four Rooms was an unexpected success.

The dinner was SOOOOO GOOOOD. This pumpkin soup was made with a real roasted sugar pumpkin instead of canned and it made all the difference. I am looking forward to making this recipe for a holiday meal with the family.
