Film Reviewing At Its Finest

Posted on February 5, 2005 by Michael Froomkin

I just saw “Sideways” which is a remarkably good movie. Googling around to try to find out the origin of the title, I found this outstanding review:

Entertaining? Definitely, although this is a very subtle movie. It's got NO explosions in it whatsoever.

Says it all, really.

    “It’s got NO explosions in it whatsoever.”

    It does have a car crashing into a tree though, which ought to count for something.

    Re “Sideways” — for what it’s worth, http://www.moviepig.com comments that Sideways is how wines, and later its drinkers, are stored. And it’s an anagram for wise days. Both good explanations.
