My phone is still broken so I haven't been able to update from Blackberry, grr!

We saw six movies again yesterday = DEATH! TIRED!! Most of them were good, though!!

Most fucked up film of of the festival = Savage Grave (but good!)
Most "OMG the world is in big trouble" movie of the festival = FLOW - For Love Of Water (need to show this movie to my mom - it will so wean her off her Dasani addiction!
Most unique plot = Quid Pro Quo (it was also good)

Today we're seeing five, and tomorrow three. AND THEN HOME!

The weather is nice today. Yay!

The award ceremony is tonight so we'll find out the winners.

Technology sucks

2008-01-25T00:14:00.000-07:00

My Blackberry has been brought to his knees again, but crappy towers here in Park City. It's not sending my emails, so my mobile blog updating has bee nreduced to nothing.

I will summarize the day for you.

1) Dor attempts to sleep in but instead is brought into a dispute between landlord and subletter (nightmare)
2) Dor and Shiri go to see VERY BAD MOVIE called North Starr - embarrassingly poorly acted, ridiculous story, production values a blind man could have bettered, etc
3) Dor and Shiri run out of time to go see Secrecy so they dash up to the Egyptian for The Wind and the Water, from Panama. It was a sweet movie but it's not going to change my life.
4) Dor and Shiri try to see American Son but get screwed because there's mad traffic on Kearns, so they go see The Year Of Getting To Know Us instead which is NOT a great movie but features a hilarious performance by Sharon Stone
5) Shiri goes to see Towelhead (which Dor has already seen in Toronto when it was called Nothing Is Private)
6) Dor goes to see Nerakhoon (The Betrayal) a story of one Laotian man's family as they emigrated to the US after the Vietnam war - GREAT GREAT MOVIE - MAYBE MY FAVORITE DOC SO FAR!!!

Two more full days left of the festival!!

We've seen it!

2008-01-24T00:24:00.001-07:00

The best film of the festival is Tom McCarthy's The Visitor.

It's his follow up to The Station Agent and honestly I think it's even better. It is similar in tone - strong characters, isolated people finding each other and coming alive. But that's where the similarities end.

It starts with a lonely professor in Connecticut going down to NYC where he must begrudgingly present a paper at a conference at NYU. He returns to his New York City apartment which he has kept vacant for many years and is shocked to find a young couple living there. What follows I will allow you to experience for yourselves when the film is released in April in LA/NY. But I will say it was a perfect blend of subtle politics and personal awakenings that will leave you hoping Tom McCarthy doesn't wait another five years or so to make his next film!

August

2008-01-22T19:51:00.001-07:00

August was a boring movie about two brothers (one hot-headed CEO and another the brains/creative element) who own a tech startup. It takes place in August 01 just before the tech bubble burst. I could not have cared LESS about the movie or characters.

And some dumb ass in the Q & A had the nerve to ask Josh Hartnett to comment on Heath Ledger being found dead. The whole audience booed the question. Wtf is wrong with people? Josh made an eloquent but brief comment and tried to be graceful.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster

2008-01-22T17:23:00.001-07:00

Just saw a great doc called Bigger, Stronger, Faster, one man's personal story of steroid use in his family. He takes his own experiences and plays them out against the backdrop of rthe current scandalsthat have plagued baseball and the Olympics.

The film was extremely honest and good-hearted. It was informative and interesting and most of all it examined all sides of the debate through interviews with everyone from athletes, politicians, models, body-builders and trainers to his own parents and brothers.

I hope when it is released it is edited down by about fifteen minutes but other than that it was great.

Choke

2008-01-22T13:09:00.001-07:00

Choke was great!

I have not read the book so I don't know how faithful it was, but I enjoyed it a lot.

It was just a funny, good story. I could find no flaws with it. Sam Rockwell was perfect as a sex-addict under-achiever whose mother's physical and mental decline prompts him to revisit his upbringing and find out who is father is.

Clark Gregg directed it. I know him as an actor from State and Main. It was clear duing the Q&A that he had passion for the project and he did a great job.

Thank god this theater is playing great music. It's hard enough waking up at 7:30 and dashing off to a movie that begins before nine.

I have already drunk half a Mountain Dew. Exhausted!!

Yesterday

2008-01-22T08:18:00.001-07:00

We saw four movies yesterday. Three of them were good and one was a freakin' crime against humanity it was so bad.

Today we have six movies planned. YESSSSSSSSS WE CAN DO ITTTTTTT

Monday

2008-01-21T11:33:00.001-07:00

We survived opening weekend! The crowds and insanity should die down a bit now.

We are seeing Downloading Nancy right now. We plan to see five movies today, the first four showing at the Racquet Club. We packed lunch.

More later!

Success!

2008-01-21T02:37:00.001-07:00

Today ruled, and here's why:

I am 80% better in terms of the illness that plagued me yesterday.

We got into five movies today! A few of them sucked, but that's just how it goes.

Tomorrow we are aiming for another five. We will not see a 9 am movie because we are total pussies and also because I want to keep this sickness at bay.

Thanks for reading, y'all. And thanks for the comments!

Pretty Bird

2008-01-20T23:02:00.001-07:00

We just caught Pretty Bird at the Racquet Club. A lovely woman handed us a pair of tickets for free. Score.

The Q n A was delightful - witty responses, heartwarming stories.

The movie sucked though! the characters were incredibly unlikeable and I could not be bothered to care what happened to them.

Hope we can get into one more movie today and its a good one!

Good Dick

2008-01-20T20:34:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we saw a great movie called Good Dick, the story of a boy who works in a video store and falls hopelessly, obsessively, inaproppriately in love with one of his customers who just happens to come in every day and rent porn.

I have seen a million coming of age dramas and a million love stories where one or both parties is suuuper fucked up, and I can tell you this one is in a league of its own.

I loved it.

Usually if someone wrote, directed and starred in a movie, you can be sure it's either total self-indulgent trash or freaking awesome. You'll all see when this comes out how much this one counts as the latter.

The Last Word

2008-01-20T20:22:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we saw The Last Word, a dark comedy with Wes Bentley,
Winona Ryder and Ray Romano. It was about a lonely guy in LA who makes his living writing peope's suicide notes for them. He falls for the sister of one of his clients whom he meets at his funeral.

The movie was not great. It wasn't terrible but I wouldn't call it "good" either. There was zero chemistry between the two lead characters. I didn't believe their relationship for one minute.

Oh well, you win some, you lose some!

About to watch a movie he stars in called Pretty Bird. Psyched about it.

Behind on movie reviews, grrrrr!

Sorry

2008-01-20T19:53:00.001-07:00

I have fallen behind in updates because I was sick all day yesterday, boo! Only made it to three movies!

I will say that I just saw my favorite film so far, The Wackness. It was a coming of age tale of a pot dealer's summer before he goes off to college. He struggles with falling in love and dealing with his family's financial problems. The key relationship was between the boy and his psychiatrist (Ben Kingsley) who accepts pot for therapy sessions.

The film takes place in 1994. It was awesome to see how well they depicted. NYC in that period. The music, the fashion, the political climate.... I think they truly nailed it.

I wonder if there will be a better film than this at the festival. Wow wow wow.

Main Street ... Don't ask me!

Blind Date

2008-01-19T12:00:00.001-07:00

This morning at 8:30 we went to Blind Date, directed by and starring Stanley Tucci, one of my favorite filmmakers. Patricia Clarkson plays his depressed wife, unable to recover from a tragic event in the past. They engage in a sometimes hilarious and often incredible touching elaborate roleplay to help them cope.

I found it interesting to learn that the film was shot over just seven days. The performances were so perfect - I can't imagine anyone playing them any better.

Highly recommended!

Uh oh

COLD AND TIRED

2008-01-19T02:07:00.000-07:00

No more blog updates for approximately five hours, at which point we will curse our alarm for rising us at the fine hour of 7AM on this relaxing "vacation!"

The Broken

2008-01-19T02:06:00.001-07:00

Its 2 AM and we just got out of The Broken.

HOLY SCARY MOVIEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

I was creeped out to the max from start to finish. I was on edge for the full hour and a half. The imagery and cinematography floored me.

I think this one will do very well when it is released theatrically. Its about a thirtysomething level headed pretty doctor who one day starts seeing a woman who looks identical all over town. One sighting so disturbs heer that she's involved shortly after in a car accident, and things spiral downward from there.

So many scares and not in the cliched way. Great scary movie. Can't wait for David Anderson to see this one.

TranSiberia

2008-01-19T00:07:00.001-07:00

We went to the world premiere of Transiberia earlier today at the Eccles. Loved it! Two US tourists (Woody Harrelson and Emily Mortimer) embark upon the seven day train ride from Bejing to Moscow. They meet another couple on the journey whose intentions may or may not be as pure as they initially seem...

The story was engaging throughout. My favorite part of the film was the lead female character who had depth beyond what it seems at first. The second half was nonstop action but with the addition of a strong morality aspect.

Maybe my favorite so far!

Brrrrrrrrr

2008-01-18T23:57:00.001-07:00

Y'all, it is TOO DAMNED COLD HERE!

We just stood outside for almost an hour looking for tickets to The Broken. We made it inside with just ten minutes to spare before the film starts.

Soooooooo cold! I took a shower before we headed up here and I swear I could have stood under that steaming hot water for hours.

Why we rock:

We have been seeing movies since 9 AM! Our fifth movie of the day is about to start and it will end at 2 AM!

Why we are fools:

We are gonna get up and try for an 8:30 AM movie tomorrow.

DEATH!!

Frozen, teeth-chattering, blue-lips, boogers-turning-to-icicles FREEZING DEATH!!!

But we love it!!

The Wave

2008-01-18T21:02:00.001-07:00

This afternoon we watched the world premiere of a German film called The Wave. It was based on the true story of the teacher who conducted a classroom experiment to show his students the ills of autocracy only to see the project take on a sinister life of its own. The film was excellent! The soundtrack was powerhouse and the story was intriguing. Recommended!!

Very cool - the teacher who actually taught the lesson on which the film (and also a short story, novel and after school special) was based attended the screening and answered questions after. Just one of many reasons I love Sundance!!

The Linguists

2008-01-18T17:22:00.000-07:00

The Linguists was good, not great. It followed two scholars as they traveled the world researching endangered languages. They went to Bolivia, Siberia and India learning about cultures and shedding light about what causes a language to die out. The subject is fascinating to me, but I thought the doc could have been tighter.

2008-01-18T12:05:00.001-07:00

We are about to watch The Linguists, a doc about preserving almost-dead languages. I think it looks awesome.

There is a place across the street from the Egyptian Theater that is called the Wall St Journal lounge and they are giving away free pizza and drinks and the coolest part was on the stage there, the lead singer of Train was performing an acoustic set. We snacked and watched until we had to walk over to the movie.

The movie is starting late. Grr, that throws off our schedule for the rest of the day.

Next we see a German film (remake) called The Wave. More later!!!

Train lead singer Pat Monaghan performs acoustically at the Wall Street Lounge - better photos posted later!

Reversion

2008-01-18T10:52:00.001-07:00

We just watched Reversion at the Egyptian.

The movie was NOT for me. It was an allegorical futuristic tale about genetic mutants living amongst the general population in LA. These people are missing the gene that allows them to register time. They have no sense of past, present amd future so they cannot see clear delineation between cause and effect. It was a trippy, experimental film and it just didn't work for me. Oh well.

In Bruges

2008-01-18T00:40:00.000-07:00

As the earlier photos indicate, we all got into the opening night film In Bruges tonight.

This one starred Colin Farrell and was made in and Irish-American partnership.

I'm surprised to tell you I actually liked it. After seeing the trailer ad nauseum over the past several weeks, I was ready to either skip it or hate it. But - it was in fact quite good. It centered upon two hitmen holed up in Bruges on the orders of the big boss. What they expected would be a boring two weeks turns into much more, of course.

What really stood out for me was the dialogue - some of the craziest, most offensive and hilarious shit comes out of the mouths of these characters, particularly the one Colin Farrell played.

And while the trailer made it out to be super accessible and mainstream (hi, it's a trailer, of course that's what it did), the film definitely had the heart of a Sundance movie.

Everyone in my hotel room is sleeping, so I'd better do the same. The alarm is set for 6:45 which is in less than six hours - kill me now?

Celebrity sightings tonight: Colin Farrell introducing the films he's in, Mary Kate Olsen coming out of In Bruges... no photos though, sorry!

Someone just handed me a free ticket for In Bruges. Score!!

New update:

There is no update!

Heading to Salt Lake City today from Wendover, UT to meet with Festival friends Matt and Tim.

Tonight we'll catch the opening film, In Bruges, up in Park City at the Eccles theater. None of us is particularly psyched about the film since it doesn't look all that great and is coming out in theaters soon. But we've got tradition to uphold - we wouldn't miss the first movie.

Itinerary

2008-01-16T01:05:00.000-07:00

On the agenda for tomorrow:

7:15 AM - leave for JFK intl airport
9:45 AM - flight leaves
5:30 PM - flight lands in Salt Lake
6:00 PM - pick up rental car and drive to Wendover, NV
8:00 PM - arrive in Wendover and check into hotel
9:00 PM - commence playing nickel slots at the adjacent casino and drinking free vodka cranberries

Then the next day (Thursday) is the start of the Film Festival. The opening film looks lame. You can be sure I'll let you know if it really was.

A cool post from Indiewire about Sundance '08 buzz

PARK CITY '08 | Buzzing About The Buzz and Managing The Chattering Class as Sundance Approaches

by Steven Rosen (January 15, 2008)

The Sundance Film Festival, which opens Thursday, is where the new year's buzz starts for independent and specialty movies hoping to become arthouse hits. Last year's Sundance worked for "Waitress," "Once," "No End in Sight," "The Savages" among others, but how does the buzz get started at Sundance? Or, more to the point, how do some films get on festgoers' short list of must-see titles even before the event begins? Such advance buzz can be a leg up for those films since, according to Sundance's press office, 121 feature-length entries are being shown this year. With 87 being world premieres, 14 North American premieres and 12 U.S. premieres, most are unknown quantities. Further, there are 55 first-time filmmakers, including 32 in competition. And as reported yesterday in indieWIRE, there are some 100 films on the market for potential U.S. distribution.

Last year's films

Feel free to peruse the list of films that Shiri and I saw last year at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

As you can see, many went on to critical acclaim and even moderate box office success (Once made 14 million but was produced for $160,000) while others faded into obscurity. A handful of these were so forgettable I that I can't honestly remember them at all.

1 Chicago 10
2 Strange Culture
3 Expired
4 Delirious
5 The Savages
6 Rocket Science
7 Broken English
8 Slipstream
9 Reprise
10 Snow Angels
11 Teeth
12 Adrift in Manhattan
13 Starting Out in the Evening
14 Save Me
15 Interview
16 The Good Life
17 Dedication
18 Hounddog
19 On the Road with Judas
20 Grace is Gone
21 Zoo
22 Four Sheets to the Wind
23 Dark Matter
24 Summer Rain
25 Never Forever
26 If I'd Known I Was a Genius
27 Angel-A
28 Once
29 Fido
30 Girl 27
31 For the Bible Tells Me So
32 The Good Night
33 Chapter 27
34 The Go-Getter
35 Banished
36 Sweet Mud
37 La Misma Luna
38 The Signal
39 Waitress
40 Life Support
41 The Ten
42 Hot House
43 Joshua
44 Hear and Now

Hear and Now will be airing on HBO sometime this year. Make a point to see it.

La Misma Luna has a limited release March 18th, 2008.

Dark Matter will probably not be released any time soon, as its plot may be considered a bit sensitive in light of the Virginia tech tragedy.

Delirious, one of my favorites from last year, got an extremely limited release and did poorly for no reason. Maybe it will fare better on Netflix.

Shiri and I are flying tothe 2008 Sundance Film Festival in less than 36 hours!

Are you asking yourself "But Dor, I thought you always like to drive to Utah for the festival?"

Ah yes, but a few days ago fate decided that was not to be this year. See below for photographic evidence to support taking a plane instead of my trusty old Saturn which has now gone to meet its maker.
