"Sideways:" saw it again, today, in the theater:

best six bucks I've spent in some time.
I liked it quite a bit the first time, but, like most excellent films, it was even more enjoyable the second viewing.
I appreciated Giamatti's performance more, as well as his scoundrel friend's. In fact, it is a crime neither won a Best Actor or at least Best Supporting Oscar (nomination OR statue).
Church, especially, was magnificent: he made a selfish, cheating, using guy a likeable, human and very individualistic man---he took a stereotype and turned it into a very real person.
The two ladies, Madsen and Oh, also deserved some recognition.
The writer and director took the hardest of genres to pull off, the romantic comedy, and did it not only with style but intelligence. If you wish, you actually can discuss this film's content: it has some---what a shock these days!
All in all, the best movie of the year (American) for me. A perfect string quartet, if you wish...
