kybearfuzzAfter sleeping a good chunk of the weekend away, I decided to treat myself and go see Sideways and see if the reviewers were right. I've heard good things about this movie.
The movie has the low budget feel, but the story is really well done as is the acting. I have to say I can see why it's up for an Oscar. It's funny, poignant, and entertaining all in the right places. I will admit that I don't see how Thomas Haden Church earned an Oscar nod, he reminds me of his role in Ned and Stacy. Not that impressed by him and I could go the rest of my life without seeing his pasty white butt again. I think Paul Giamatti got robbed in not getting at least nominated. He was great.
I will say this, Virginia Madsen is very impressive in this. To hear her describe the history of a wine is poetic and enthralling. However, the real catch in this movie is Sandra Oh. She's just a really hot chick in this flick, oozing sex appeal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not straightening up or anything, I just know a sexy woman when I see one. The bearded wine seller in the pic above is more my style.
On a personal note, I did get called by the date from Friday night. He's doing good and we're talking about getting together again this weekend. Not sure if he's my type or not yet, but he intrigues me. He'll be a good friend if nothing else.
