We saw Breach on video this weekend. Ryan Phillippe carries his lusty pouting to a new level in this taut, spy-vs.-spy-with-a-dash-of-Opus-Dei thriller. This movie had the suspense that The Good Shepherd should have had, and made way more sense than The Departed. See it.

Blogspot won't let me enter a title today. What's up with that?
NY Times has Wineries Gone Wild article. Which reminds me, since this is a "movie review" post, I can't believe I never blogged about how much I hate Sideways. Maybe I have never written about it because I don't even know where to start. In fact, I have writer's elbow or whatever it's called when you can't write because I am festering with so much hatred for that movie. All those people were immature slobs, petty, lying, half-hearted alcoholics. The sex scenes were sickeningly gratuitous and I still regret I didn't leave the theatre when my instincts told me to go. I could go on in this vein but I think you get the picture.

all that east bay fog has molded your brain, I couldn't even get through Breach on an airplane. the Departed was good, even on an airplane.
and Sideways is funny, the depravity of the characters is funny. gross sex is funny, not sexy. & pinot noir is good.
you don't have to want to BE in the movie.

I saw Sideways on an airplane. I wanted to jump. I started drafting hate mail right then to all the critics who said it was outstanding because I had the time and couldn't escape the movie.
