I’ve liked Paul Giamatti since I saw him in American Splendor, even though his career spans back to the early 90s.
I had a hard time getting past Thomas Hayden Church’s role in Wings.
The movie made me a little uneasy, but I think that is why I liked it. Tolerance, stupidity, love, deceit, joy, wine, cruelty – All aspects of being human whether we like it or not.
The movie reminded me that we have to make the best of where we’re at and keep aiming towards a better place.
I also learned I really don’t want to be a wine geek.
Paul Giamatti must be hitting a nice vintage couple of years for his acting. First, he was great in “Sideways” but I think he was even better in “Cinderella Man.”
Definitely don’t want to be a wine geek. I like to enjoy each bottle for its own qualities. I don’t drink merlot, maybe that helps? 🙂
