ANOTHER ONE TO AVOID

I know that one is not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but sometimes it is necessary.  Recently I reviewed the movie Greenfingers.  I really liked it but, in doing my research I discovered that famed movie critic Roger Ebert, now deceased,  was downright contemptuous in describing it.  He called it “twee”, whatever that is supposed to mean.  So, I decided to see what he thought of a movie I absolutely despised:  Sideways.  Sure enough, he called it “brilliant”.

Sorry, Roger, but you were wrong, May God rest your soul!

Sideways is a tale involving two worthless twits doing trivial things, some of which border on the criminal.  The plot revolves around wine, and takes place in the wine growing regions of central California.  Some of the locals pictured are scenic – and that is the only good thing that I can conjure up to say about it.

Bottom line:  avoid this movie at all cost!
