Sideways

I decided to watch Sideways (2004) again because it had been a few years since the last time I saw it. Man, I sure was happy I did because it was even better than I remembered it was. I think it’s one of the rare instances when a movie deserves all of the critical and…

The Only Exception

I really like Hayley Williams and Paramore. One of my favorite songs they’ve done is “The Only Exception” which was probably their biggest hit on the charts.

Mr. Wonderful

I recently watched Mr. Wonderful (1993) again after many years and thoroughly enjoyed it more than ever before. I think this is an extremely underrated movie by Anthony Minghella who went on to win the Oscar for the English Patient a few years later. I absolutely loved this movie starring Matt Dillon and Annabella Sciorra…
