"SIDEWAYS" will turn you Upside Down

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: Entertaining adult situations and story, this is not appropriate for children.
Review: My son and I attended a movie premiere late this afternoon in Santa Barbara. I had no idea we were going to this event. I wore shorts. I thought we were going to see a screening. Boy, was I red-faced.


It turned out to be quite...

Should You Go Head Over Heels for Sideways?

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: It's a good year for Sideways.
Review: By the time I got around to seeing Sideways, it had garnered so much praise that I was bound to be disappointed. Alexander Payne s script (adapted from the novel by Rex Pickett) and direction are excellent, but the film is about twenty minutes too...

Seven Day Itch

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: Life doesn't stop at a certain age. Make age just an attitude.
Review: Miles and Jack have been best friends since college. They've seen each other through a lot of times, both good and bad. Neither has come even close to achieving the career goals they have sought. Miles (Paul Giamatti) wanted to be a novelist, but...
