Sideways
The wife and I saw Sideways last night, and it was a fantastic movie experience. The line between Indy and Studio is getting more and more blurred.
As I watched this film, I was struck at how reliant I've become on typical movie gimmicks; when the guy and girl are having trouble, the girl will magically appear at his apartment door at precisely the perfect time, etc. Sideways presents relationships and situations without those gimmicks, and the deeper into the film you go, the more you realize you're not getting those gimmicks.
Very cool effect.
Thomas Hayden Church was definitely brilliant in portraying a difficult character. No matter what happened, you could never find yourself hating the schmuck, although you know you should.
The wife noticed subtle effects with the color of Giamatti's shirts and clothes.
