Sideways
has anyone else seen the movie Sideways?
it took the top spot away from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in my all-time favorite films list!
there was not one boring moment in that movie (first time I have experienced that). It was the most fun I have had at the theaters, i was literally slapping my knee lol. I highly reccomend this movie!
Paul Giamatti also took top spot on my favorite actor list over Jack Nicholson. Seeing him in this film and American Splendor just amazed me!
"The film starts with two old friends setting off on a wine-tasting road trip... only to veer dizzily sideways into a wry, comedic exploration of the crazy vicissitudes of love and friendship, the damnable persistence of loneliness and dreams and the enduring war between Pinot and Cabernet."
"The misadventures begin when Miles (Paul Giamatti), an un-recovered divorcé and would-be novelist with a wine fixation, decides to gift his old college buddy and washed-up actor Jack (Thomas Haden Church) with a celebratory trip to the vineyards of the Central Coast the week before Jack's wedding. The two couldn't be an odder couple. Jack is an over-sexed charmer; Miles is a sad-sack worrier. Jack is looking for his "last taste of freedom;" Miles is just hoping to not get even more depressed. Jack is fine with cheap Merlot; Miles pines for the perfect Pinot. Indeed, the only thing they seem to share in common is the same heady mix of failed ambitions and fading youth."

Paul is pretty funny. I liked him in the other movies I have seen with him.

Sideways is out on DVD/ Video!
Rented it on thusday and have already watched it 3 time :P
oh yea, and I saw an Azure Blue Mach 1 in the movie!
It's in the scene where the main characters are walking back to the motel for the first time, and they pass by a ford dealership! It's right next to a T-Bird
