'Sideways': Wine country with a full bouquet of characters

By Nicholas S. Desai | October 25, 2004

Alexander Payne, filmmaker and self-proclaimed follower of film auteur ideal, visited the Hopkins Center Saturday night to receive the Dartmouth Film Award and to screen his latest film, "Sideways," a darker kind of romantic comedy that makes the adventures of middle-aged wine enthusiasts appealing even to late-adolescent Keystone enthusiasts. Payne's films explore subcultures, whether high school politics in "Election" or abortion activism in "Citizen Ruth." His ability to delineate well-known but rarely depicted situations is in full swing here as he takes on the humdrum existence of hotel living and briefly revisits the world of old people even more hilariously than "About Schmidt" does. The main culture portrayed in "Sideways" is that of a certain kind of Californian whose recreations include wine and divorce.

Going downriver: 'Creek' a success

By Matt Hill | October 21, 2004

One could approach "Mean Creek" as I did, with a certain set of expectations. Certainly, the advertisements and trailers for the film invoke the feeling that the independent film, being the directorial debut of Jacob Aaron Estes, will ultimately culminate in a convenient and predictably tragic climax that catalyzes the central character's coming of age.

'Palookaville' finds Cook closer to the gutter than the stars

By Nick Desai | October 5, 2004

I'm going to go out on a limb here and advance the oft-debated contention that if there were devised a grand artistic sequence of musical deeds that needed to be accomplished, remaking Steve Miller's surreal anthem "The Joker" as a hip, psuedo-dance song would not have been scheduled in the year 2004.
