Friday Night In: ‘In Her Shoes’

Normally I resist labeling any film a “Chick Flick”, because it sounds condescending. However, this week’s Friday Night In pick, In Her Shoes, a movie adapted from a book by Jennifer Wiener, one of the grande dames of chick lit, in which men are either perfect or pigs, and the central issue is self-esteem, is […]

Friday Night In: ‘Sideways’

The 2004 critically-acclaimed Sideways has two identities: it’s a sophisticated, nearly poetic film about relationships and wine, but it’s also a juvenile sex comedy including naked dashes in the night and an obligatory car trashing.
