My Favorite Films of 2004 (25 movies items)

" "No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!" Directed by Alexander Payne Written by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor Music by Rolfe Kent Cinematography by Phedon Papamichael Editing by Kevin Tent"

Outstanding

“From Alexander Payne comes an outstanding and impeccably performed film, that is poignant, deeply funny, tragic and truthful, with some consistent moments of wit as well. Sideways also gets my pick as the best film of 2004, and there were a few strong films that year, however it was this film that touched me the most.For one thing, it looks beautiful. The cinematography is stunning and the scenery is wonderfully picturesque. The music is lovely, while the direction is faultless. I also loved how engaging the story was, and how fresh it was as well, while the script is both moving and funny. As far as I could see, there were no pacing problems, it may start slow, but the quality of everything else left me transfixed.The acting is absolutely astonishing. Paul Giamatti is brilliant as Miles, ” read more

"  A man called Miles embarks on a journey of self-discovery that runs miles along through the California countryside. And it is a pathway that is filled much with wine, women, and song. Well, maybe, not so much song. And also, maybe not so much women, plural, as it with one woman, singular. But there is plenty of wine. Good wine. Quality wine. But not Merlot. Definitely not Merlot.   And it's also a journey that includes his best buddy Jack tagging along. Tagging along and screwing things up"

"Vähän kaikki karkaa käsistä kun ystävykset lähtevät viettämään polttarielämää. Alituisessa viinituiskeessa tullaan juotua viinisylkikupista ja juostua alasti strutsitarhan läpi ja saatua turpaansa naiselta, joka mäiskii Jackin nenän uuteen muotoon moottoripyöräkypärällä. Jack haluaa vielä kerran päästä pukille ennen avioliiton harmaata arkea, hän onkin varsinainen pillumagneetti verrattuna masentuneeseen ystäväänsä: kaikessa häikäilemättömyydessään naurettavan"

" Notes: First of all, following his great performance in 'American Splendor', you can say that with this flick, Paul Giamatti really sealed the deal. From now on, he would be a major actor to reckon with (on the other hand, since then, he hasn’t played many lead parts in fact but he is definitely a highly respected actor). I also thought that Thomas Haden Church was quite amazing (thanks to this movie, he finally also had his breakthrough) and together they were just a great duo. To be honest"
