Man on Wire
I recently got to see "Man on Wire." I was skeptical about the quality of a movie about a guy walking 120 stories up, on a cable. It was good! Very interesting and historical, well filmed and a well-told story of one man's passionate challenge to walk between New York's Twin Towers. And he did it! Man. Scary what passion can do! I especially liked seeing the positive support of the many friends of M. Petit, who (generally) supported his wild mad ideas. Inspiring, and very entertaining. I'd go again!— August 14, 2008 12:01 p.m.
Bottle Shock
I had the very special privilege of seeing "Bottle Shock." This is an outstanding movie, first class all around! My first thought was, "They really have a LOT of great friends!" The film has so many established stars, all supporting the going-to-be-famous young actors. The story is about the beginnings of the California viniculture, at the point where the great wines are being noticed. This story, based on fact, is so real, so bittersweet, and ends - of course! - with a fantastic triumph, of the superlative California wines. The film is set in Napa, and is gorgeously photographed. The music was a kick, as enjoyed before on "6 Feet Under." This is a love story, for family, for the earth, and for the vines. I loved it! Plus, it is funny!— August 12, 2008 10:05 a.m.
