For my birthday, Alli and I had a "Shane Day". I got to pick where we went, what we ate, etc. So for our mid-day movie, we went and saw the critically-acclaimed movie, Sideways, a movie that has opened to much laud and praise from nearly every critic in the land and is a prime example of why I am not a critic.
The movie was terrible. Not The Singing Detective terrible, but terrible nonetheless. Sure, the acting by Paul Giamatti was, as always, spot on. However, the movie was useless except for one minor 2-minute scene between Giamatti and Virginia Madsen where they are talking about what got them into wine (this presents another one of my problems with the movie - I loathe wine). But this conversation between the two is so good that it almost makes the rest of the movie worth it.
Who am I kidding? There was no WAY that made the movie worth it.
I'm really pulling for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I hope it wins everything.
