Sideways (US - DVD R1)
We have some early details on the recent Paul Giamatti movie
Title: Sideways
Starring: Paul Giamatti
Released: 5th April 2005
SRP: $27.95
Early details have begun to emerge on the region one release of Sideways which stars the likes of Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, Virginia Madsen, Sandra Oh and Marylouise Burke. The disc will be available to own from the 5th April this year, and should set you back around $27.95. I'm afraid Fox has yet to reveal the full disc specs for this one, although we can confirm that the film will be available in seperate anamorphic widescreen and full screen editions. Each will carry an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track, an audio commentary with Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, some 'hilarious deleted scenes' and much more. We'll bring you some further details, just as soon as we get them. Stay tuned.

I'll evenutually see it when I buy it for $6.99 at Blockbuster. I originally thought this was the most overrated film of 2004 but now, I'm just going with the flow.
Not too crazy to see it but hope it does well at the Oscars.

I'm not really looking forward to this one. It looks really, really overhyped.
I'll hafta see it myself to say for certain though.

It's meant to be really good. Expect the UK to get a 2-disk edition, and the US to have to wait for 6 months.

That always happens

Excellent, I've been checking this site almost every day waiting for this announcement. This was a pleasant suprise last year and turned out to be one of my favorites. Certainly when a film gathers this much critical attention its always going to be called "overrated," much like Lost In Translation. Give it a chance though.
Ecellent film. I had no idea what I was going into when I saw it, but I'm glad I did.
The best film of last year
Miles better than Scorsese's bloated Oscar bait. Can't wait to own it. I'll be curious to see if they use the same transfer they used on the Academy screener.
I won't be picking this one up. I also think that it's very overrated. The Aviator and Million Dollar Baby were much better than this but the critics seem to be in love with Sideways, so we'll see how it does at the Oscars.

Million Dollar Baby is my pick for best movie of the year. Although The Aviator is gonna win.

You thought it was the most overrated movie without seeing it? That doesn't even make any sense.
This is the best film of 2004 and speaking of Oscars, it angers me to know end that Clint Eastwood nabbed a best actor nod over Giamatti. Typical Academy. Clint Eastwood could have directed "Alone in the Dark" and it would get nominated for 8 awards.
Also nice to be posting under another fellow Doom fan.

this movie looks great. Missed it in theaters. Cant wait to rent it.
I really hope the Aviator wins best picture and best director and best actor, Dicaprio did a fenomenal job playing the exentric Mr. Hughes. Much better then Jamie Foxx as Ray.
I might check this out next week (But not if Phantom Of The Opera sticks around). Looks alright.
The Aviator was a great film, but this probably still is my favorite film of the year. I never did like Clint Eastwood, but I still think I should give Million Dollar Baby another chance.

Bloated Oscar bait? Hardly. I don't know how anyone could watch "The Aviator and not appreciate the tremendous film-making achievement it represents... it was an incredibly artful and well-executed production in so many ways. I was entertained by "Sideways," but you must admit the critics love this type of film. They heap tons of praise upon these "little" gems and criticize those who don't appreciate them. It is simply intellectual snobbery at work. It reminds me of the critical hype "My Dinner with Andre" received a number of years ago. My God, that was tedious to watch. Anyone remember that critical darling? I believe "The Aviator" will be remembered long after "Sideways" has disappeared into the discount bin at Walmart.

you can have all the technical brilliance in the world...
The Aviator was still an empty epic. I love Marty, but even he couldn't breathe enough life into this film. I actually cared about the people in Sideways, could care less about the people in The Aviator.
I'm looking forward to see this movie and it owuld be nice if it came out sooner, closer to the Oscars but what can ya do? 
I don't know if it can take over my spot as best film of the year... a movie I loved although it wasn't nominated for an Oscar for best picture.
It wasn't totally shut out though.

Thats yor opinion. I think the Aviator is the one that should win as for best director and best actor. Cate also did a marvelous job

Very tough year for the Oscars. I think this film will get overshadowed by "The Aviator" and "Million Dollar Baby". But I loved all three equally. Still fuming though Paul Giamatti was overlooked. He was the heart and soul of the movie. Alexander Payne is the best screenwriter in America today. His work just keeps getting better. He should win for writing.
really overhyped
i think it was an overrated film. its good, but its not awesome. there are some very very funny parts in it, but it kinda moves slow in some parts. Out of 10 I would give it an 8.5 . I will own this one. Oh yea, I'm 17 years old, so that's my opinion.
Yes!!!
Truly one of the best films of 2004. Funny and touching. Here's hoping It'll win best picture at the oscars but that's just wishfull thinking. I'm getting my copy.
I'm sure that won't be the final artwork. They will wait to see if it gets an Academy Award or two.
That's a great box art.

Exactly. The day after the awards they'll update the artwork like COLD MOUNTAIN did. At least the the award banner is tasteful, the one in CM was just plain ugly.

Mixed opinion on that artwork.
I like the cover.
Great film, and I like the lower half of the DVD artwork, but what is with their faces? Paul Giamatti has some creepy Kiriyama from Battle Royale smile going on. He looks like he's about to kill somebody.
Other than that, I really like the lower half, with the bottle and everything. Such a good movie.

I quite like the cover. Even though the actors have been airbrushed. Paul Giamatti is especially creepy.
oh critics
DON'T TRUST THE OPINON OF PEOPLE WHO SEE MOVIES FOR FREE. Movie critics always get excited when an independent film turns out to be relatively mainstream and worth watching. This is the only reason "Sideways" even got noticed. It's an insult that the academy nominated this film for best picture and virtually ignored better directed, better acted, better written, films such as Eternal Sunshine, The Passion and Fahrenheit 911.
