Fifty Shades of Wine

“There is not enough wine for this movie,” I say to my friend, nestled into an exceptionally comfy lounge chair next to me at a luxury theater in Laguna Niguel called Cinepolis. We’ve already sampled EL James’ 50 Shades of Grey red wine, which is $15 a glass or $55 a bottle and not worth it,…

My TV style is more Gossip Girl than Heroes, more nighttime soap than alien invasion—although I did love X Files back in the day, even though I had to leave the room for the creepy opener music or else I’d have nightmares. However, TNT is introducing a new alien invasion show called FALLING SKIES, where In the devastating…
