Sideways
So after that book, I decided I needed to get out of the house for a bit and since I've been meaning to go see Sideways for ages, I finally went out and saw it. Of course just as I was leaving the house I got email from Mom who just saw it and thought it was pretty awful, so I didn't go in with very high expectations -- besides, the posters all promote it as being from the director of Election and About Schmidt, neither of which I particularly liked. The place was packed (apparently I'm the only person who didn't watch it win 2 Golden Globes last night) and it was a good crowd that laughed all the way through it. I actually really enjoyed it -- especially since I was just visiting vineyards this weekend too.
Hmm, looks like Carrie saw it this past weekend as well!
How funny...I loved both "Election" and "About Schmidt" (although I have to admit, I haven't seen the final version of the latter - I saw it as a preview in LA).
