Sundance

Event Post

The classroom meetings leading up to Sundance started on Thursday. The first film we saw was Sex Lies and Videotape, reviewed below, though I have seen it before. Today I watched the documentary Murderball for my class and The Nin9s because it looked interesting, and I will be placing a review of each up tomorrow. There is also a HUGE time laps where I just haven't been typing out and uploading any of my reviews. I will sit down, probably Tuesday after I am done packing, and write out a whole slew of posts. I might not post them until Sundance is over, but since I haven't actually started posting Sundance films, I see no harm in adding my make ups, so look for them.

The group leaves on Wednesday for Utah and I am already really really excited. I have been for a while. I love low budget Indie films. Not the low budget kind that uses cardboard space helmets from the 60's. I'm talking like Primer or Clerks. The respectable kind of low budget.

Through the class we are promised 8 Sundance movies and a few Slamdance movies as well. I know five of the movies I have tickets for. And the titles are...

The Greatest - Sat 17 3:15 PM at Eccles Theatre
500 Days of Sumer - Sat 17 6:15 PM at Eccles Theatre
Cold Souls - Sun 18 11:15 AM at Racquet Club Theatre
World's Greatest Dad - Sun 18 5:30 PM at Library Center Theatre
The Killing Room - Tue 20 11:59 PM at Egyptian Theatre

My first choice of the whole festival was It Might Get Loud, a film with 3 musicians (including Jack White) but alas I did not get in. Apparently its really really popular. I am going to try to get overflow seating.

Thats it for tonight. Until next time.
