Summary: 4 Stars
this was given as a gift so I don't know what the quality of the film was but the arrival was fast and the price was right. I hope my giftee enjoys it.DVD Review: Hollywood cliches maul a real story
Summary: 3 Stars
When I choose to evaluate a film here, I look over the other reviews to see if someone has said what I want to say. If so, no need to repeat it. But I don't see the thing that killed this film here. It was dull, dull, dull!
Alan Rickman is a great actor, and made his small scenes perfect. He delivered his lines with aplomb and verve. Otherwise, though, all the boring Hollywood cliches came roaring out of their cages to hunt down and exterminate any freshness this film may have had. I don't really care how historically accurate this was; I'm not expecting "truth". But I am expecting something other than every dull and predictable story line to appear. I could list a ton, but we had a phony wine identifying, Maria Callas, the beautiful girl in the dying VW, the jealousy between rivals for said pretty girl. (Did anyone think she could appear on the scene without her sleeping with someone?) All old stuff, all done before, all utterly predictable and cold. The dialog was trite, the acting bland, the excitement as exciting as watching the Yankees play their double-A farm team. Gee, I wonder what will happen.
Glorious scenery (and my, we do spend a lot of time flying across vineyards) and Alan Rickman were the Mondavi Reserve. The rest was pure Gallo, bland, unsurprising, and without character.
DVD Review: Better than the French
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was a delight. The French have for too long been shoving their wines on the world and saying they were the best.
Well, guess what? They are not the best.
Having been to France several times and tasted a lot of French wines...I know of what I speak.
"Bottle Shock" is a really fun movie.
Description of Bottle Shock
ONE SMALL AMERICAN WINERY & ITS WORKERS ARE ABOUT TO SHOW THE EXALTED FRENCH THAT THE WORLD'S FINEST WINES WILL NOW COME FROM THE OTHER RED, WHITE & BLUE. BASED ON AN INSPIRING TRUE STORY."Bottle shock" describes what can happen to wine as it travels from place to place. Set in 1976, Randall Miller's widescreen docudrama concerns the real-life showdown between California's wineries and their French counterparts. Napa Valley's Jim Barrett (Lost Highway's Bill Pullman) has been plugging away for years with minimal success. A former attorney, Barrett runs Chateau Montelena with his wayward son, Bo (Chris Pine, the Star Trek prequel's Captain Kirk), who would rather do anything than assist his stern father. Bo's co-workers include Gustavo (Six Feet Under's Freddy Rodr?guez) and Sam (Transformers' Rachael Taylor), who long to produce the perfect chardonnay. Naturally, the young men compete for the favors of the beautiful blonde (the movie's least interesting angle). Across the Atlantic, Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) struggles to keep his Parisian wine shop going (cheapskate American Dennis Farina is his only regular customer). Then Spurrier conceives a contest to attract customers; surely, his beloved French growers will put those upstart Yanks in their place. He flies to Napa to look around, and persuades the Barretts to compete. Miller and his wife, screenwriter Jody Savin, previously worked with Pullman and Rickman on Nobel Son, but decided to release Bottle Shock first. Though comparisons to Sideways will be inevitable, the filmmakers take more of a historical look at California wine country. The "Judgment of Paris" changed the face of the business forever, and they've found a lively way to recount the tale. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
