Super Bowl Commercials: A Look Back & A Look Ahead

Woo Hoo!  Our NY Giants are going to the Super Bowl!  Here at Cafe Mojo we love watching the weekly football games, but we are so psyched for the BIG game! As much as we love the game, like everyone else we also love the commercials.


Cafe Mojo customers have already been talking about the upcoming ads so we thought we would compile a short list of previews for you to enjoy!  Here they are!

Remember Volkswagon's little Darth Vader from last year? Well, Volkswagon will be back with another Star Wars themed commercial:


Go Daddy is known for it's sexy, teasing style of ad and they are sticking with the formula once more:




Chevrolet has jumped the gun and already started airing one of it's ads.  This ad won a Chevrolet contest:


Doritos will be introducing a new slogan "Smarter. Bolder. Faster" will feature Donald Trump, Deion Sanders, and Apolo Ohno.

Other brands we are looking forward to seeing here at Cafe Mojo are ones that left us laughing in the past.  Pepsi.  Bud/Bud Light. Coca-Cola. E-Trade.  Let's take a look at some blasts from the past:

Thank you Budweiser for the endless stream of Bud. Weis. Er. we all were subjected to after this one:


This one takes us way back to 1979 and never fails to bring a smile:

Careful!  You never know who's watching! 


We hope you enjoyed this look back and preview of what's to come.  Come in to Cafe Mojo and tell us what you thought!

Cafe Mojo Beats the January Blues!

The hectic weeks of the holidays are over.  The chaos in your home is finally cleaned up.  A new year has begun and you're ready to take on all your resolutions and make this the best year ever!  This sounds great, but many people get hit with the January Blues.

What are the January Blues?  It's a feeling of sadness that some people will feel after the new year.  It may be that the holidays did not live up to the person's high expectations.  Maybe the weeks of feeling cold and being indoors is starting to get overbearing.  Perhaps it is guilt and disappointment over the extra pounds put on during the holidays.  Whatever the reason, many people are just plain "down" during the month of January.

Doctors have offered suggestions on how to combat this feeling.  Yes, of course there are medications or light therapy, but most doctors see the value in just changing your mind set and putting yourself in happy environments. Fortunately for you, Cafe Mojo happens to offer a number of the top activities suggested by doctors!

Socialize more!  Hang out with friends or chat with new ones.  Cafe Mojo offers ample opportunities for this!  Come in to enjoy a meal or chat at the bar anytime or join us Tuesday - Saturday for our weekly events!  Trivia, bingo, karaoke and more will help stomp out the sadness and bring on the smiles!

Listen to invigorating music is another suggestion.  Well, Cafe Mojo is always rockin' a beat!  Also on Friday nights we have either karaoke or a live band.  Get up and sing a song and feel the blues melt away!

Add Omega 3's to your diet.  Enjoy one of our delicious chicken dishes, salads, or how about our fish taco?

If you're feeling a little down there is no better place to be than Cafe Mojo's!  If you're already feeling great, come down and spread your cheer!  We look forward to helping you make January a fabulous month!

Thanksgiving Beers

Thanksgiving preparations are in full swing.  You've planned the appetizers, main course, and desserts.  You have the decorations and the table is set.  What's left?  Drinks!  What drinks will go with your meal?

Whatever meal you have planned, Cafe Mojo can help you pair a fantastic drink. The Pilgrims most likely enjoyed ale with their meal, so here is a guide to choose your brew:

• Traditional Turkey - Amber ale or lager like Oktoberfest, brown ale, or a strong golden ale like triple
• Smoked Turkey- a hoppy brown ale, Scotch ale, or porter
• Ham- Weizen, weizenbock, dubbel or dark lager
• Pumpkin Pie- Spiced ale, winter warmer or old ale

If you're planning on serving a turkey, you can go one step further and use your choice of ale to baste the turkey while it cooks.

• melt one stick of butter
• mix 12 ounces of ale with the butter
• pour over the turkey
• baste with the beer butter approximately every 20 minutes
• about halfway through the cooking time, pour another 12 ounces of ale over the turkey
• continue to baste approximately every 20 minutes

We hope these suggestions add to your delicious holiday meal!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Cafe Mojo family to yours!

Unusual Halloween Movies

Who's ready for some frightfully good fun?  Here at Cafe Mojo we are! We'd like to share some unusual horror movies for you to enjoy.  Grab a blanket, light a fire, maybe even some Cafe Mojo take out and enjoy!

Trick r' Treat veers off of the standard madman terrorizes teens plot and follows a more Tales From The Crypt format. Starring Anna Paquin, this movie sucks you in right from the beginning.  Here is an excerpt from the official website:

Interested?  Check out the trailer here.

The Last Exorcism is a documentary style film.  Here is a summary written by Jason Buchanan for Rotten Tomatoes:

Disillusioned charlatan Reverend Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) comes face to face with pure evil after recruiting a documentary film crew to capture the final exorcism of his career. For years, Reverend Marcus has taken advantage of the faithful and desperate. Now it's time for him to finally come clean. Just as Reverend Marcus prepares to shoot the film that will set the record straight, he receives an urgent letter from a desperate farmer. The devil has taken possession of his beloved daughter Nell (Ashley Bell), and Reverend Marcus is their last hope for salvation. Up to this point it's been all fun and games; now things are about to get serious.

Enjoy the trailer! 




Let Me In was written and directed by Matt Reeves  who directed Cloverfield and stars Chloe Grace Moretz who played Hit Girl in Kick Ass.  Here is an excerpt from the official website:
