Wine and a Movie - First one on the new TV setup

Well last night a friend and I decided to pick up a movie and a few bottles of wine... the wine, thumbs up, the movie, thumbs down, and the company, always irresistible. 

I am not going to dive too deep into the wine because it was nothing too special. The first was a sparkling white from california (Muscato) and the second was a Gewürztraminer from the same region. Both are typical favorites of the ladies... and me.... "the ladies man" will take a trip away from the reds to please any worthy company. 

The movie was "The Happening"; which stars Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel. The premise is that there is a terrorist virus that causes people to go crazy and essentially make them loose the part of their brain thats hardwired for survival which drives people into mass suicide. Premise sounds pretty cool hua... well actually, that was the best part about it. It was nice to see how they made the senseless self killing unique and not completely zombie like. The best example of this was when a group of people get infected near a large park where there is a patrolling officer nearby. They are all infected so they are all still until they figure out a good method of suicide and then peruse it. The police man shoots himself and drops his gun. The camera pans to another person who just witnessed this, and they then act and move towards the gun to do the same. This process goes on for about 6 people. The camerawork was crafty and really gave you the chills. Either way, the movie is an M. Night Shyamalan movie so you know what to expect... some crazy twist that you never thought about. No spoilers here, I am not going to give too much away just in case you are truly interested. I cant say that the movie was  total bust... but then again its not on my recommended list either. 

Well that was last nights events. The new Plasma looked great while hooked up to the PS3 for the movie (BTW). Check back to share in more of Mikes fun.
