Film: Breaking Dawn Part II

I have never read the books so I therefore like each movie. My thoughts on this one in particular, it's good. The film moves quickly and has less of a love story. I am actually sad to see the Cullens go, I like each one of them.

Overall, this movie offers some nice closure to a pretty good series.

Film: Ocean's Twelve

Pretty good movie. My wife thought it was somewhat slow moving. Interesting to me and kept me thinking. I wouldn't watch it again but I would have others watch it.

Song - Home (Phillip Phillips)

So glad I don't waste my time watching American Idol. However, apparently this artist was on that show - I would have watched it for him. Very catchy song - just has something about it. You don't need to explain it, just hear it and dig it. Probably have already heard it before.

Keep rocking Phillip Phillips

Film - Lockout

Another that passed expectations. We thought it was going to be a lot of blood a guts, nowhere near.  This movie had some very funny lines and it moved quickly. Snow, played by Guy Pearce is a character you'll love. He is quick witted and knows how to fight.

Overall, it's a mystery sci-fi action flick.

Wine - Apothic Red

Apothic Red 

Purchased a bottle from local Liquor Store for about $10. Best looking bottle they had...

Apothic, cool sounding name and a decent tasting fluid. Not a bad deal at its cost. I would compare it to Rex Goliath Cab and Gnarly Head Cab. Would I buy it again? Yes, but it would not be my first choice.

Film - Old Dogs

I am not going to lie, my expectations for this were pretty low. However, the movie completely surprised me - it was funny! John Travolta and Robbin Williams do a great job together. Think of them as an age appropriate comedy duo similar to Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

My daughter suggested the movie and now I am suggesting it to the world.

Wine - the girls in the vineyard

 

Cabernet Sauvignon 

Purchased a bottle from Hy-Vee for about $11.

From the name it would suggest to be a man's best friend, right? Well, not quite. I don't have many details because after the first sip I made it into a mediocre sangria. Maybe it was the bottle but, it had a stale taste, very acidic flavor. 

I would suggest to stay away from this bottle.
