Sundance Movies

Note: Frances and I at a movie. :)

I watched a good handful of movies while in Sundance. I had a lot of time to think about how I felt about them. There were some movies that I couldn't stand, and there were some that made my heart sing.

1. Happythankyoumoreplease was my personal favorite. I think I have a major crush on Josh Radnor now. I also cannot resist a good romantic comedy. I've always enjoy seeing love win at the end of any movie.
2. The shorts that I saw were pretty interesting. I adored the documentary about the fence between the US and Mexico. Issues like that always break my heart. I'm such a sucker for a sob story. I didn't really care for the robots falling in love or the older couple who had marriage problems. I did enjoy the short about famous logos. It may have to do with Ronald McDonald being evil.
3. The Extra Man was interesting. It may have to do with the fact that the main character was a cross dresser, and had issues. I wouldn't say it was a fabulous movie, but it was interesting enough to hold my attention for the whole movie.
4. Skateland was eh. I didn't really hate it, but there was a lot of problems in the movie. The storyline didn't flow, and I couldn't relate to the characters. It was a story about growing up, and I didn't really care for it.
5. Lovers of Hate was a really messed up movie. The characters were so selfish and self serving that it was a bit hard to watch. It did have funny moments though, so I was engaged in the movie for the most part. Some people hated the movie, and some people liked it. I can see both sides of the issue although I am leaning towards the not liking it so much.
6. Obselidia was boring and long. The story didn't make sense, and we didn't even bother to stay after for the Q&A. The story would go off tangent so often that it would be hard to focus. I had a problem with trying to keep up with it, and some of the things that happened were way too convenient. 
7. Imperialists Are Still Alive! was the worst. I couldn't understand their accents, and there was basically no plot. I didn't understand what was going on, and I still don't. I felt like the movie didn't have a point, and I was left bored. I couldn't wait until the movie was over. It was that bad.
8. I fell asleep in My Perestrokia, so I can't really judge it. I may of fell asleep because it was an 8 am movie, and we didn't sleep all that week or it may of been boring. I'm not really sure.

If I ever go back to Sundance, I want to watch much more movies. I would love to wait list more so that I can see the movies that people are buzzing about. There were a lot of movies that I was interested in, but we didn't have the time. I know that I want to watch more documentaries the next time around.

I hope I get to go back there because the experience was so unique and exciting. I feel myself already being addicted, and I am suffering from withdraws. I really liked that crowd and environment. I wish I was still there.
