Zen And The Art Of Film Appreciation: Bottle Shock- A Harmonious Blend of Life
http://zataofa.blogspot.com/2009/08/bottle-shock-harmonious-blend-of-life.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Bottle Shock- A Harmonious Blend of Life. The story is based on the true events when in 1976 Steven Spurrier invited 12 American Vineyards to participate in a blind wine tasting challenge against the top wine makers of France. In a shocking upset, the Americans took the top honors in two categories, which opened the doors and changed the world's impression that the French were the sole experts on winemaking.

Zen And The Art Of Film Appreciation: Sunshine Cleaning - Life Can Be A Messy Business
http://zataofa.blogspot.com/2009/08/sunshine-cleaning-life-can-be-messy.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. Sunshine Cleaning - Life Can Be A Messy Business. This is a very daring film that deals with a very sensitive issue of what happens behind the scenes when someone dies. The darker side of life that only a certain group of people ever have to see. It is never easy to deal with a loved one dying, but even harder still is when they depart in a way where they leave a horrific mess. It is tragic and disturbing, and well. messy! Emily Blunt is well suited to play emotionally unbalanc...

Zen And The Art Of Film Appreciation: Taking Woodstock - On A Strange Ride
http://zataofa.blogspot.com/2009/09/taking-woodstock-on-strange-ride.html
Thursday, September 3, 2009. Taking Woodstock - On A Strange Ride. Well, all I can say about the film is that is slightly entertaining! I can't blame Ang Lee for this. He has directed some great movies like Broke Back Mountain, and Sense and Sensibility. And the film flows well, just not in any particular direction. Sadly, Eugene Levy who is a comic genius, who generally plays annoying passive aggressive characters is only minorly factored into the story line at the beginning , as Max Yasgur, and then on...

Zen And The Art Of Film Appreciation: "9" - Gets About A "7"
http://zataofa.blogspot.com/2009/09/9-gets-about-7.html
Thursday, September 10, 2009. 9" - Gets About A "7". I will give this film props for being unusual and interesting in its look and approach to story telling. Basically a post apocalyptic tale of a band of little mechanical puppets trying to survive in a barren oppresive world! The films director Shane Acker teams up with producer/director Tim Burton to deliver this grim tale of hope. The animation and art direction definitely have the Burton stamp upon it, in his typical gruesome but endearing style.

Zen And The Art Of Film Appreciation: Inglorious Basterds - If Dreams Can True
http://zataofa.blogspot.com/2009/08/inglorious-basterds-if-dreams-can-true.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. Inglorious Basterds - If Dreams Can True. Quentin Tarantino just keeps getting better and better with each film he makes, taking violence and dark comedy to new levels. This project reportedly was ten years in the making, and I guess good things come to those who wait. Not to mention extremely violent and graphic. It is disturbing at times, and yet great fun!

Zen And The Art Of Film Appreciation: July 2009
http://zataofa.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Henry Poole Is Here - Swimming In Spirituality. This is a sleeping giant of a film, that deserves a giant wake up call. It has the potential to launch a few rising stars and revive the careers of some cinematic veterans. Sort of poised in the middle of this ecclesiatical conflict are two characters, a level headed priest played by George Lopez and Henry's next door neighbor ( Radha Mitchell) whose daughter is withdrawn into herself, and unwilling to speak a word to anyone. These c...

Zen And The Art Of Film Appreciation: June 2009
http://zataofa.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Monty Python and The Holy Grail ( Fun Facts). Did a little digging around the trivia pool for this film learned a few interesting bits. First and most funny, is that Terry Gilliam started out directing this film, and due to a very mutual disagreement between he and the cast, decided to walk off set and take a nap under a nearby tree. Terry Jones took up the directorial mantle from that point onward. Which is why they both have director credits. Graham Chapman, unbeknownst to his f...
