Mac Attack #10 - A SUMMER FLICK

Every time I go to a move it's magic, no matter what the movie is about.

- Steven Spielberg

Escape the sweltering summer heat by slipping into a cool, dark movie theater, snuggle down into the cushioned chair, feet propped up on the seatback in front of you and start tossing hot, buttery popcorn into your mouth one plump, salty piece after another. Or gather the family together in your own living room around a pizza in front of that favorite dvd, the perfect way to end a day of vacation, a day spent on the beach or hanging around the pool, snapping pictures of the sites or standing in line waiting to spend a steamy day at the zoo. Or remember the good old days of school holidays when all the kids would pile into the station wagon and dad would drive the gang to a drive-in movie? A classic! Ah, movies are so much a part of summer holidays!


The latest blockbuster chock full of shoot outs, car chases and giant fire balls, a soppy summer romance, an animated film for the kids… summer is the best time to kick back and watch a movie. Oldies and goldies, chick flicks, sci fi or vampires, we all have our favorites, the perfect movie to forget the heat or just relax and lose ourselves in another world. So this month, come into the cool kitchen, turn up the air and pull out your egg whites and think of that great movie that takes you away, lets you become someone else, travel to somewhere else and just escape.


Friends, this month’s Mac Attack challenges you to create that perfect macaron inspired by a movie: whether old or new, comedy or drama, black & white or in glorious Technicolor, let that movie inspire, fire up the ideas and pull you into an imaginary world of cameras, lights, costumes and scenery. You are the screenwriter, the director, the cast and crew… now to produce an award winning cinematographic macaron!
