4K Digital Review: The Rocky Horror Picture Show: 50th Anniversary

 The Rocky Horror Picture Show Celebrates it's 50th Anniversary. It follows a newly engage couple Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon). They experience car trouble in a fierce rainstorm and seek shelter in a castle. The castle owner is the drag-clad Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry). His minions, aliens from another planet, are singing and dancing throughout the movie. You get jealousy, murder and a musical all in one movie. This cult classic brings you pretty much everything!  

Video:

This 4K streaming video makes The Rocky Horror Picture Show look the best it ever has. There are so many fine details such as makeup, garters, hairstyles and more. Wait until you see how razor sharp the details are in the castle and in the lab. Colors also really shine here such as reds, as well as skin tones. Blacks are nice and inky.

Audio:

The Dolby Atmos audio track really delivers here. Much of the audio is front and center but it opens up for the song and dance numbers. Vocals are prioritized over the music. A solid audio mix from Disney.

• Audio Commentary featuring Richard O’Brien and Patricia Quinn
• Trivia Track: 50 Years and Still Kicking!
• Vintage Callback Track (Unrated)

Celebrating Avila's El Ranchito 50th Anniversary

This year Avila's El Ranchito celebrates its 50th Anniversary. From it's first location in Huntington Park, they have since expanded to 13 locations. Sasaki Time was proud to be invited to join in on the celebration.

We started with the signature margarita that is pictured above. It was the smoothest margarita I ever had.

Time for some carnitas tacos and cheese quesadillas.

So many options to top off my food.

A refreshing watermelon margarita.

The delicious Coctel de Camarones combines tender shrimp, fresh squeezed lime juice, cilantro and avocado in a "coctel" that you will quickly want more of.

The carnitas are perfectly cooked with the outside nice and crisp and the inside being juicy and moist.

A jalapeno margarita was up next and it was smooth and spicy.

Look at the portion size of the rib eye steak. Perfectly cooked to a medium rare and those onions put this dish over the top.

And a final round of tequila shots to end the evening. Thank you to the entire Avila Family for making us feel just like a part of your family!
