    Bottle Shock

    Very fun film that is based on true events.
    Based on a true story, Bottle Shock chronicles the events leading up to the famous 'Judgment of Paris' tastings, told through the lives of father and son, Jim and Bo Barrett. A former real estate attorney, Jim sacrificed everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted chardonnay. His business, however, is struggling, and he's not only trying to overcome differences with his slacker son, but is also fighting off the creditors. Meanwhile in Paris, unwitting British wine shop owner Steven Spurrier hopes to revive his own failing business by sponsoring a competition which will pit the traditional French powerhouse against the California upstarts. Little did Steven and Jim realize that they were both on course to change the history of wine forever.
    When it comes to a end you will find yourself in the nearest wine shop along with your fellow movie patrons.

    Huh... never heard of this! Could be really cool, though, I appreciate good wines. Will definitely check it out.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      Yeah! Remember what Sideways (the movie) did for Pinot Noir!

      Can't wait for this one.

        The Ice Harvest is film noir
        by George Bellefontaine
        I really love those great b&w film noir movies from the 40s and early 50s and The Ice Harvest fits right into that category, only it is film noir in color. It stars John Cusack as a seedy lawyer ( he represents the mob, among other things) and Billy Bob Thornton as a lowlife who teams up with Cusack...

        Caught a concert in Mammoth Lakes Saturday with LJ and his trio. He played nearly all the songs on the DVD Audio I bought during the 2+ hour show. He autographed CDs and DVDs during a break and even talked about the recording (Grammy nominated). He played Little Wing and Johny B. Good songs that...

        SHADOWBOXER is a neo-noir film on steroids
        by George Bellefontaine
        Pickings were lean at the local Blockbuster so I ended up renting Shadowboxer, a film I had passed up a few times because I thought it was just another Cuba Gooding Jr.action flick ( he has made a few recently) but boy was I wrong.

        Shadowboxer stars Helen Mirren, Cuba Gooding Jr. and...
