Sideways
Sideways was a great pleasure - kind of like the good character films from the 70s I remember watching on TV when I was younger (with less nudity obviously) - and weirdly worked in a double bill with Meet the Fockers, which was fun if less funny than expected and another opportunity for Dustin Hoffman to ham it up.
I can't remember what films are up for the Oscars, but of the BAFTA nominations for best film, my favourite is The Motorcycle Diaries (as, despite really liking Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman's other work, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind was just not quite there - although I had no idea the title was a quote from Alexander Pope).
As Severine had a rotten cold this weekend, we had a video fest watching American Pie 3 (not worth the effort), Bruce Almighty (not really worth the effort) and the remake of Dawn of the Dead (great fun and well worth it!).
