home theater, game console It is a beautiful Fall day. The leaves are turning a melody of yellow, orange and red as lackadaisical clouds float by underneath a shinning eastern sun. A flock of birds fly over a plantation where father, two sons and a young daughter stay huddled up in the top floor bedroom as a single well treated slave runs back and forth with overnight supplies. The beauty of the day disappears behind the sound of an advancing bugle and steady drum rhythm. If Paul Revere was anywhere near this place he would fly down the driveway screaming, “The Red Coats are Coming.”

This may just be a fantastic Revolutionary war movie playing over my game console but backed by a home theater and LCD widescreen HDTV, I can almost smell the gunpowder that would have been wafting in the farm air had this really happened. As the family stares out of the second floor window, a 100-yard long line of Red Coats emerge onto the flat, green farmland as American soldiers, in similar formation come out of the tree line. Each side prepares their weapons but the British are first to shoot. Canons, buckshot and yells engulf my living room as the home theater does a fantastic job at adding to the moment.

The father shakes his head to his young children, understanding century’s old line tactics are not going to defeat the well armed Red Coats. Guerilla warfare while considered barbaric is the only option Americans willing to fight have to win. The battle rages as the home theater keeps the action alive.

It is hard to look away from a good movie when the sound is engulfing an entire room. Moments like this are why I shop at electronic savvy web retailers like Home Online Direct at http://www.homeonlinedirect.com/. If it wasn’t for deals found while online shopping I would not have such an awesome home theater to come home to and enjoy movies over. As you can tell, I’m a huge fan of any type of well done war movie. Movies that follow history but add that Hollywood effect to still make them an interesting story.

On this night, my game console is playing one of my favorite big budget Revolutionary War flicks. It is a great reminder of how this country was built and how far we’ve come. The idea of living on a solitude farm with slaves is hard to fathom sitting in a sparse living room filled with multimedia electronics.
