How do I love thee? Let me count the bunnies boiling on the stove. In 1987, Alex Forrest made men everywhere think twice about extracurricular activities. She was the original psycho chick. Can anyone listen to Madame Butterfly objectively after that?
The Movie
In Fatal Attraction, happily married New York lawyer Dan Callagher has an affair with his colleague Alex, and the two enjoy a love weekend while Dan's wife and kid are away. But Alex will not let go of him, and she will stop at nothing to have him for herself. Just how far will she go to get what she wants?
Ummm...too far. Too too far. Way over the ledge. Little known nugget of trivia? Glenn Close still has "the knife" hanging in her kitchen.
Wine a Little
The Tait Vineyard in Australia actually has a Shiraz-Cabernet-Merlot blend called, "The Ball Buster."
Beer Goggles
Arcadia Cocoa Loco Pale Ale makes everyone look pretty.
Movie and wine pairings for any mood or occasion.
What do you get when you have a heaping helping of movie trivia, twisted humor, and a glass of wine (or beer for fans of the fizzy lifting drink)? You get the Movie Wino. That's me.
Welcome to all things cinema and grape.If you're like me, your movie selections vary with your mood. When I'm anxious, I default to either of the Ghostbusters movies; Real Genius; Fight Club or The Departed. Then comes the beverage. Call it state dependent learning that most movies are at least slightly more enjoyable when coupled with a glass of wine--and even better if you have a friend who's a fellow movie wino.
My commitment to you is to provide at least one movie and wine pairing for any mood or occasion. If you have suggestions or need one, bring it on. You can search for movie and wine pairings by mood or visit the archives by week and see what mood I was in...
Movie summaries are courtesy of Internet Movie Database (IMDB). Comments and fermented grape juice or hopped up amber beverage recommendations courtesy of my sick, twisted mind. Whether you're a Wine Enthusiast or have Rotten Tomatoes bookmarked, there's bound to be something for you here.
Drink up!
